Scott's Super Clean PH1 172 Project Thread



Don't worry about it Scott, anyone who reads it will see that you've gone into detail about it as it's a car worth talking about.

Very nice advert!
Thanks Ben.
Good advert Scott

Have another read through though. Handful of spelling errors which upsets my OCD let alone yours ;)

GLWTS
There's no excuse and ill go through the advert in the next couple of days and fix the spellings.

I did however type the advert out after being up at 5am and not getting home until 5pm.
I didn't sit down until around about 8 pm and start typing it all out and by the time I'd finished I was struggling to keep my eye's open. [emoji4]
Link to the advert please?
Why, wanna buy it?
 
  Mini GP2
Its on the first page of RenautlSport Clio's for sale on Ph Dan @dann2707

That is how write an advert, great detail Scott; anyone who is not aware of this thread will realise it has been owned by a genuine RenaultSport fan. Hope it goes to a good home.
 
I saw some disgusting rumours being thrown around on facebook just, thought I'd check to make sure they were just rumours

:weary::coldsweat::confounded::cry::disrelieved::fearful::mask:

They weren't

Seriously gutted, but yeah... been there and done that.
I sold my polo of 7 years, something I thought id never do. No bolt had been left un-turned on that car haha, it was part of the family.
Change can be good though, you will regret doing it at points but there's better out there ;)
Just hope it goes to a good home dude! Good luck with selling it, wont be easy as its a verryyy small market, but the right person will come along sooner or later.

And again, this car inspired me to buy a ph1. I reckon I'd be like the rest of the sheep in a ph2 if it weren't for this!

I don't have FB bud, whats being said and by who?

Yeah i know its a small market but hopefully it will go to a good home.

So yesterday i took the car to have the front camber and tracking done/checked after fitting the Bilstein's. The cambers where spot on and the tracking was in spec but not parallel so i got the guy to adjust it.

  Many.
Very nice! I don't think you'll regret that.

Needs a small spoiler for sure, but I'm sure you already have loads of plans for mods, and making it super clean.

Thanks mate, the Spec C doesn't come with a boot spoiler so i want to try and leave it as is. If not then ill only fit a stick on lip spoiler just to break the back of the car up a bit.

Hmmm no real plans as in buying "go faster parts" the things i want to do first is

1, Service and replace gearbox and diff oils,
2, Get the mirrors painted black (factory they where black)
3, Remove the added roof pod thing.
4, Underseal and wax oil the underside and inside of the doors,
5, Get the geo checked and adjusted if needed,
6, Get the boost/running of the engine checked,
7, Monster clean, all wheels off.
8, Just enjoy driving it.

Oh and then maybe look at getting it to 350 bhp. 😂
 
Looks seriously clean
But in your eyes I guess its filthy 😂

Good decision though man. I've only had the clio a few months and I already know my next car will be an EVO of some shape haha! It's a step in the right direction :blush:

Looks a good purchase, Scott :smile: I look forward to seeing it arrive and you returning it to minty-mint fresh!
Thanks Andy, im hoping at some point we can meet up for a drive out in both of the boosted buses.

Nice avatar mate, do me a Spec C RA one?? :blush:

Absolutely my friend, nothing would make me happier to get out for a drive and to meet up with your good self. Once we're both back on the road we will make it happen :)

I'm working at the moment mate (a looooong day) but I'll get an avatar done for you shortly. :up:

I believe a Cubmanor BBQ is equidistant from you chaps..... :wink:
 
  Ph1 172 and Ph1 225
If I was wedged I'd buy this and sit it in dry storage. My brother actually sent me the PH's ad link. I thought it was a joke at first because a friend of mine once found an ad for his S3 on there that someone else had made.

Atleast it will more than likely be an enthusiast who buys it.

Nice bug eye by the way [emoji6] I wouldn't mind a good spec blob eye
