Strange. I’ve not really been keeping a close eye. I roughly know where the market is at but not the specific cars.
They are definitely something I would consider long term. Still presenting a lot of fun per £ even for something around £5-6k.
Thanks mate. It’s been an amazing car, so much fun has been had in it.
It’s starting to need a little love again, the rust has been slowed down but will need a proper repair at some point should i decide to do it. All year round use has its drawbacks but gives me more time, miles and...
Been too long but fear not, the £1k Cup lives on. Which is more than I can say about the **** rabbit that popped out in front of it.
185’500 on the clocks now and still running sweet. Wonder if there is a higher miler out there?
Hi guys,
Clio is dropping coolant. Had a look underneath and this appears to be the source. Whatever it is, it seems to be disintegrating!
For the non mechanically minded, what is it?!
Hi mate, hope all is well and your Cup is going grand!
Yes I’m loving having another Impreza. So much character, fast and fun to drive. I was very fortunate in the circumstances to find this one. Been looked after and had a lot spent. Just needs gold wheels :-)
Been a while! Car still going great and will hit 172k in the next few weeks.
Will need to give this thread a proper update but needless to say, I finished off the rear quarter and after a couple of attempts got it looking half decent. I’ll get a pro job done on it at some point but not...
I love the idea of it but I can’t help but feeling that if you will worry about reliability and big bills then it’s better to stay N/A or move to a Megane R26 which gives you the turbo, 6 speed and LSD for probably the cost to change that the conversion would cost.
I had a Subaru P1 for a few...
Thanks Colin. Strips were very easy.
To remove them, open the door and push them back towards the door edge. If that doesn’t work there is a small grommet just inside the door that sits behind the strip and can be used to access and push it out.
Sanded and then primed.
My bullets weren’t keen...
New back box on. Sounds great and is tucked up nicely behind the bumper.
Couple more coats of base on the door and clear coated. Will leave it for a couple of days before sanding and polishing. Fingers crossed for some shine!
Door strips and bullets done.
Bit more work on the filler on...
Time for a wee update. Car is still going strong and has now ticked over 165k. Still makes me turn round to look at it after parking up.
I’ve decided to grab a few bits and pieces and try and improve it a bit in the last few weeks:
- alloy foot rest
- new rear licence plate lamp
- ‘Clio’ mats...
Cheers for that. You’ve done well then! Mine came with a KTEC stealth which disintegrated and I think I’m on my second going on third mild steel one since....
Car is looking so good! You’ve taken it some way over the last few years. Belts due on mine so I’ll be heading over to see Barrie and the team shortly too.
PS what exhaust have you got? It’s nice and tucked away. Mine is a horrible Karina pattern one which sits low and is now blowing 🤦🏻♂️
Cracking car and right decision to purchase. Lucky we are up north and too far for some to travel!
Lots of happy times ahead with two clios in the family!
In true me fashion, not a massive update! Car going well and enjoying its very quiet life these days. Just ticked over 160k in it.
Wind caught the door and slammed into my house, causing a fairly nasty dink and paint damage. Decided to give it a crack this week. Very pleased with the results...
