Hey guys
Recently returned to ClioSport after 11 years, I live in New Zealand and this is my fun project. This is my 2nd car, my daily is a 2018 Mazda 3 Sp25
Recently purchased this car and given I have heaps of plans have already begun some, I thought I'd start this project build
The plan is to create a really clean road OEM looking example, something I hope to keep for years.
I'll use this first post to capture the car condition & spec when I picked up the car
The Car
I'm a bit of a dog with a bone, so you can expect to see this evolve quite quickly.

The Car
- 2001 172 Phase 1
- 90,000 miles
- 2 Keys, heaps of service history (Credit to previous owner for his service work & maintaining the service/paperwork etc)
- Engines runs & pulls well
- Body condition is - fair
- Interior condition is good
- Powerflex Dogbone & Upper Engine Mounts (mods I would have done myself)
- BAF Motorsport K-Brace rear strut (Nice addition actually)
- Coby Resonator (Probably a bit louder than I would like)
- Sportline Steering wheel (not to my taste - also had the original)
- Phase 2 Rear lights & Door strips
- Lowered on Apex springs
- Renault Roof Racks (Jeez, has anyone seen these?)
- Driver seat spacer removed
- Remove the roof racks (Key lost)
- Replace Steering wheel with something less 'Pink slips in fast & furious'
- Repair seat bolster stitching
- Repaint the Roof, Mirrors & spoiler
- Full Service
- Replace Engine Cover, Coolant flush & Replace the coolant tank to freshen up the engine bay (Ordered - Waiting to arrive from UK)
- Deep clean, Wheels, bumpers, door seals etc all off.
- Review my suspension options - naturally i'd go for some coilovers but they require a bit more work here in New Zealand (need certifying etc)
- Review the exhaust options
