Recaros looks great mate

Recaros looks great mate

They're properly lovely seats. Perfect for long drives and supportive enough for track use too.
What look are you going for?

No idea yet mate. I’m on the lookout though for a nice solution

Pardon my ignorance but what is ‘Clubsport’ spec?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Pardon my ignorance but what is ‘Clubsport’ spec?

Front seats only, rear brace with a cargo net attached, Golf GTi ClubSport S type affair;

 

[Cub.]

I miss mine…

 

[DaveDreads]

Loved that car, when did you get rid of it?

Like the Porsches. Basically, cage, modified for good track work, but still comfortable and reliable to get to and from track.

So interior kept door cards, headlining, carpet, air con, stereo etc.

 

[Cub.]

Don’t get me going. Should never have sold it. Stupid bear.

 

[DaveDreads]

You told me that on track at Blyton, why would a man of your means need to sell a car he loves?
I've barely got a pot to piss in and i'll never get rid of my Clio, it means as much to me as the dog does.

Yes. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I shall mark the selling of it firmly in the chapter of my life called regret.

I will build another. Just waiting until the boys are a touch older and we’ll build it together.

I’m not sure how I feel about calling it Clubsport either

But it seems that’s what all the cool kids call them these days

Every day is a school day

Have you managed to find anything yet?

 

[the_baron_von_richthofen]

This is my interpretation.

 

[chazza114]

Here's mine!

I should be picking up a clio at the weekend. All being well ☺️

Why do I get so excited about old French cars? I’m atleast as amped as I was to collect the Aston ffs 🤣

 

[Mr Underhill]

This is my interpretation.

The seats look comfy and supportive. What are those out of?

Sounds promising.

There's definitely something about these little cars which is addictive.

I'm putting my RB back to the factory spec - removing the Recaros and ASTs - now I've acquired the track car.

I could certainly advise on not what to do, but part of the fun is getting stuck in yourself and finding out what works best for you.

I've done a DIY on my TT RS, the rear bench was pointless anyway. My trackday toy Clio 182

Really useful mate. Funnily enough it’s an RB I’m picking up!

Let me know when you get round to/if you get round to selling any bits dude

They are Mirco RST's and are slightly wider than most bucket seats to accommodate the fatter arsed individual!

Now I know what a "Clubsport' spec is, some of the best ones I've seen on here would be @Ash J s 182 Trophy - https://cliosport.net/threads/ash’s-clio-182-trophy.830295/page-5#post-11961053 or @frayz Flamer - https://cliosport.net/threads/frayzs-inferno-182-back-in-the-old-flame.570244/

If you drive it on the road, I'd leave the roof lining and carpet in, horrible places to be once that's out imo

If you’re going club sport, you need a gear gaitor fitting. Looks awesome though.

Yeah I’ve got the oem over my PMs (oooeer)

Works fine

 

[MrBlonde]

Something along these lines the surround.

 

[Hilux]

Mine's an Ex Mark Fish Motorsport Clio Cup car - same as it was when racing minus decals and the flat floor splitter to be re-fitted following cracked sump swap.

Apart from the blue shite that looks awesome. However a leather gaitor (filled with foam) would do a good job of quietening down any rattles? Or is that a solved issue these days?

 

[haimsey]

I've recently put the interior all back in mine. It was fun having a fully stripped car, but it was equally as awful to drive it. Much better with all the carpets and panels back in.
I've refitted the oem gaiter on my scenic shifter

 

[KitsonRis]

Agree with having the interior. My first Ph1 172 I removed all interior and while it never really bothered me I didn't want to do it on my current one.
Old one has everything removed and painting the insides a grey colour and just had two rubber floor mats in the front

And the new one. Plan was to keep the rear seats in but then I thought I would sell the seats to help go towards a respray but I haven't got around to selling the seats and probably never will as I know I wont find any original seats for it ever again (yes the will need a refurb but that isn't the point!)

I am running extra sound deadening under neath the boot carpet, has made it a lot nicer place to be. I will never be chasing the lap times so happy to have that extra bit of weight

Always wanted a rear cage, maybe if I keep it long enough....
Looks standard from the outside, apart from the bonet catches as I don't have a slam pannel because ITB's and the bumper connectors as the little fixing on both sides of the inside of the wings broke off on the same day in exactly the same fracture line so they are needed to hold the bumper on.

 

[X J07HAM]

Full credit to previous owner both for the build and for the photos

Recaro trendline seats, colour coded half cage with spare wheel holder, gaz coilovers, white wheels that turn black, strut brace and arb, fog light air ducts, fatty style induction kit and some racecar stickers

Theres loads more but cant remember...

 

[JamesBryan]

Old picture from when the seats went in, but it hasn't changed apart from a boot mat that went in not long after.
