Cheers bud.
Yours will be a beast! Look forward to seeing it on here.
Make sure to tag me in the new abarth too. Looking forward to seeing that. Sounds an epic spec one.
Had a good day yesterday.
@Hodgins kindly offered his help servicing the car. Has use of a 4 post lift at his dad's workshop too which is very handy!
Oil filter was a b*****d to remove as it was beyond tight! New gold magnetic sump plug fitted, along with New genuine washer and filter...
Love that night shot!
I'm tempted to try yellow fogs now too... if it's just a film then I can peel off if it's crap I guess.
Lol at Dave's bonnet shot
Doing mine as we speak. Need help .... Taken bottom hose of rad, top is off tank and bleed screw is open.
But doesn't look like near 7 liters has come out. Looks more like 5.
By doing the above, is that definitely all of the coolant out?
Or does something else need doing to ensure its all...
Looked a superb example with Prescott hill climb sticker on rear.
Immaculate gloss black alloys. Car looked pristine.
Was going to get a pic but car had gone by time I came out of shop.
I though Same. Most foreign people have terrible English (to be expected though). Your English is better than most UK members [emoji14]
Maybe a good business plan? Buy a fleet of imprezas etc and drive them out to Israel! Big profit! [emoji41]
Lol. Backwards filter ftw.
I suppose it's same thing just I doubt it'd flow as well. I guess whoever on here I bought it off was a bit special?
Gonna put standard airbox on soon unless I source a ph1 box or maybe a ktec system for cheap.
I did, lol. Just didn't wanna say. [emoji4]
I'm in no position to talk with my ghetto air filter. [emoji14]
Probably go for a ph1 or v6 air box for mine I think.
That looks very nice!
Welcome.
Membership is good as you get access to guides sections etc
Love seeing clios from far flung countries [emoji4] I'd imagine their rare in Israel. I imagine here's not much of a car enthusiast culture out there either ?
Looks a nice jaunt. [emoji106]
I would have tagged along but was working.
Cars all look good! Got to see filters cup at weekend for first time and it's a very tidy one!
No doubt see your new one at some time soon dano. [emoji4]
I'd be up for it. Let me Just check the calendar first though.....
Yeah, absolutely f**k all planned next year. I'll be there! Lol
In regards to sleeping in car, I had a brilliant night sleep in the Clio at CSS! It was fully JP snore proof too. Seats go so flat and are comfy. Guaranteed to...
Popped down to filters place to service my Clio at weekend but nothing went according to plan, so basically ended up doing nothing apart from having a chat. Ha ha.
Got to have a look at the cup for first time though and it looks a cracking example! Really nice one! [emoji106]
Front diamond was looking scruffy, fair few stone chips appeared.
So stripped it back and sprayed it up again. 2 primer, 3 black, 3 lacquer. Turned out quite well, a tiny bit of fluff landed on it annoyingly. Still looks good after a cut back and polish.
Have a service pack waiting to go on...
Ah. Yeah. Think I've seen that video a while back. It's superb
It's an impressive time for sure!!
The astra vxr nurburgring I had did it in 8:35 (the reason why they made 835 of them)
That's with no doubt a full on race driver with immense knowledge of the track, probably with an empty track...
Yeah. I'd be exactly the same. Just there to enjoy and hopefully not get in too many people's way. [emoji4]
I don't mind pushing it on a track with run off... But with no run off, extortionate barrier repairs and some insanely expensive machinery around me, I'd rather just enjoy the...
Yeah. I most definitely would treat the track with respect and no doubt drive around it like an utter vagina! Lol.
It'd be more about the experience for me rather than setting a lap time, not an experienced track driver like yourself. [emoji106]
You upload any videos of your visits there...
Sounds epic.
Fair enough. I'd wear one personally, just incase.
Wouldn't be so worried about myself crashing per say. Probably be going too slow to crash.
More worried about getting in the way of someone fast [emoji4]
What surprises me is how many people aren't wearing helmets! I wouldn't get on there without one.
Interesting to see how many great, epic cars go by the crash in 1 min in dash cam video.
Just my 2p worth.
I'd love to boost mine... but I probably won't.
I own an Audi S3 too, and although it's way way quicker. The Clio is more fun to drive and far more satisfying. Maybe some of this satisfaction will be lost with a boost conversion as you'll be constantly part throttle and on...
Yeah. Its all about fun, not setting lap records.
I'd much rather have a massive grin than being a sec quicker around a track.
Only thing I don't like with these really is the mpg. Its basically the impreza flat four without a turbo isn't it? So it's never going to be good on fuel!
Just...
