also remember Ktec like to call themselves a renault SPECIALIST. as soon as you put that word on the end you can usually add a few quid to price of things!! lol
personally i wouldnt pay £5 for someone to fit that kind of thing for me, id do it myself and feel a lot more at ease knowing i...
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
around 2 weeks until im back down your neck of the woods mate!!
definatley be up for giving you a hand!! engine looks epic, cant wait to start painting mine!!
unfort im gna have to paint everything as i wont get access to a sand blaster :( unless i talk...
got some good parts on it, but no where near enough to justify such a price tag!!
plus i cant really see what the rear boot springs are trying to achieve!
personally id say,
Ph1 clio 172 - £700
Brembo HC/Braided lines/DS2500/good fluid - £250 (ish)
Pollybush dogbone mount - £50
strip it out - Free
youll have a fun track toy for about £1000.
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
only a difference of opinion dude!! i must admit im with beeson on this one but youre welcome to put together your own project mate!! :)
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
tbh, the only fair one to compair them too is ians old bus, since lee's and kel's both have cloth its not really a fair comparason!
down and out on nice wheels,
pretty much the only thing worth doing on a non-sport imo!!
everything else i think renault did a good job on, maybe some OEM+ bits here and there and some colour coding.
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
ohh gee thanks!!
its true, i also remember OMG's engine being rather good, but then why do f0xy and all that run F4Rs in their track cars??
and shh dont say that about the bodied 182, i once mentioned that in a thread and i got flamed!! lol
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
might have to beg you to do a couple of bits still!! lol, that or ill just clean them up as much as i can, and then paint the bits!!
and iirc F7R<F4R!! lol ;)
and ill be home in at most 5 weeks, but most likely sooner,
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!

:( not what i was expecting to read in a project thread, im sorry for your loss,
clio will hopefully put a smile on your face, theyre so much fun to drive with the arb/camber/proline set up!
get yourself to some track days if you can, then you can really give it a good thrashing!!

Re: my black ph1 clio sport(1.2) 'euro to be' :)
"euro to be" is a very brave title!!
calling your car euro carries huge expectation of originality and creative thinking, and usually, a pretty large budget!
good luck dude!!
this has really brightened my day, i was worried how my fixed buckets would be seen my an MOT tester!!
im guessing this is the same story for harnesses and such?!
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
haha dont worry, ill keep quiet!! ;)
P is a good starting point just to get the car going as theyre so cheap, and when it comes to F7R, the conversion is rediculously easy! :)
this same issue came with my 172 when i bought it,
cleaned the connector to the solenoid up a little and now it works fine!!
hopefully its the same for you dude!
seems like its got a bit of an identity crisis,
track car with lots of rear speakers??
looks good from the outside though!!
and change your harness mounts!! :)
Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio!
even with the state it's in, this car was an absolute steal!! look forward to reading this thread dude!! and im sure ill be lending a hand with a few bits over the summer!! :)
