Is it likely that you'll end up upgrading the suspension in the future? ie. lowering springs, coilovers etc.....

As silly as it sounds, go down to a breakers/scrap yard and see if you can pick up a dirt cheap car panel. Practice on that. May sound silly, but at least you can practice worry free.

I just used Maxi Suds for the first time on Sunday, pretty impressed and it smelled awesome too! I have used AG stuff before with no real complaints, but I think the maxi suds was better.

Not really lol. Mine was exactly the same (minus the crack). But then I polished mine fairly regularly so I never had crap all over it :)

lol no worries stevie. I've been doing quite a lot of digging around into this, as Im sure you know it's not cheap! I think I just prefer the SC really, just comes down to personal preference, and having driven a SC car I think it would suit me very well, although I dont think it will suit my...

^How many miles are you on?

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but I was talking IN GENERAL in comparing turbos to SCs. And I do know a little bit about this as I was talking over this quite a lot at KTEC last weekend :)

This is England! Why would you want AC?!

No otherway round, not to say turbos aren't 'kind' on the car, but SCs are much smoother. Turbos deliver their torque and power much quicker and in one go. Just compare any graphs from a turbo and SC car, the SC graph will be much smoother and flatter, while the turbo will have a big peak where...

They don't. :rasp:

400bhp in a Clio is just stupid. End. I could feel the front wheels tugging about a bit on the KTEC car, and that's 250bhp! (it was wet too mind ;)) Most people who know what they're talking about all say the SC suits the Clio better, and from driving it, I can see why they say it. Im just...

I can't really comment on the turbo'd clios as I havent driven one, but I did test drive the KTEC SC Clio on saturday. Wow is all I can say, very smooth delivery, doesn't feel like a forced induction car at all, just feels like a bigger more powerful engine. I've been told the turbo'd cars are...

What's the reasons for looking into getting a turbo? Maybe another car is your answer, but you may want to look into getting a supercharger too :) * I'm biased too ;)

^And that. I dread to think how much I've spent in total!!

Nice work, as stated, people who don't do detailing dont realise how much work goes into this, and not only the actual machine polishing! Thats only a small part! I know how you feel lol! I was dead after doing mine for the day, but well worth it!

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction Looking good Dave :) You didnt say you liked the noise yesterday though! ;)

Loads better. Not very keen on those 172 alloys personally.

As above. ITG really, but I don't think there's much difference between them really.

^ Looks really nice. I use it too, pretty basic but that's how I want tit :) http://www.danfreemanphotography.blogspot.com/

Next time do the same again but use a torch (preferably a white one, ie. not the horrible yellow colour light) then 'paint' the car with light.

lol, why is the car barely in the photos!? ;) Nah not bad mate. I'd work on lighting the car itself :)

Only decent photos I have to show the side :(

I was in a similar position. I narrowed it down to either a 182, Cupra or Civic Type R. The main reason I didn't choose the Cupra and Civic was because everything was more expensive. Tax, insurance, fuel, tyres and brakes etc (for track days). The Clio was very affordable for the same...

The kit you mean? I doubt it would be on the KTEC website, as it's a development by KTR Sport (sold under KTEC).

Looks great Danny. I visited KTEC yesterday, and lets just say Im ready to join the SC club ;)

I really wouldn't bother m8. The expression you get what you pay for comes to mind! Machine polishing can be quite risky for the inexperienced (which I still consider myself to be!) so I'd wait til you can afford the real thing. By all means try it if you want, but I really wouldn't want that...

lol well that justifies it then! ;) :rasp:

Firefox ftw!

10k! for a 172!
