I'm 21 and my girlfriend is in education for another 3 years (Uni), so moving out isn't happening for a long while yet.
I have enough for the Stage one package now, but I'm not doing it as of now so I can save up for other components as well ie;brakes, suspension, tyres etc :)
Will keep an eye on this, going to be a brilliant toy when done! Make sure you don't accidentally end up using the Clio once finished for your works commute, you may die.
Boost is definitely happening! Just spoke to Brentacre, and I'll be looking at around £1000-£1100 for insurance (I'll be 22 with only 2 years no claims), and I'm chuffed with that as I'm paying £730 a year now. :)
Is this the clutch we're talking about Dan? 'http://www.engine-dynamics.com/Transmission/pid594/cid102/HelixUpratedPaddleClutchKit.asp' Clio Turbo don't fit the uprated clutch to the stage one package, they retain the use of the standard clutch, but it is very advisable to upgrade?
The low boost package is £3000, drive in, drive out. The 'bang for your buck' is pretty sweet at that cost, Andy offers a brilliant package and many many people recommend him and praise his work. Take a look on http://www.clioturbo.co.uk/renault-servicing.html and scroll down to find the...
Kind of the same thought process as me, really. But as above, plan ahead. My plan is to use Andy's stage one package @clioturbo next year, and until then just enjoy the car for what it is, and make any necessary future proof upgrades. Think it through, what seems most appealing to you for...
Someone's got to have a BG bumper for me, reveal yourselves!
Big update, well in news form. I've decided this will be going down the Turbo route, to be specific the Stage one packaged from Clio Turbo. I've currently got £2000 saved up, and won't take me long to get the £1000 that is needed...
It was the first time I've been 'fast' in a Clio, can safely say I've never experienced that myself personally with the handling-performance! Can still remember it took me about 3 days to figure out how the harness worked...
A good read with many many valid points I'll take into consideration, really appreciate the reply Cub!
To be honest, I saw this car being a long haul, boosted or not. My initial plan was to daily it, then in a few years time turn it into a track car. Since then, I've leaned more towards making...
If my pricing is correct, I'll be looking at about just over £4000 all in. With added Quaife atb, and helix paddle clutch, or for running around 250bhp is there any need for a Helix?
Currently have PMS solid top mounts, and a complete engine polybush kit was also on the cards in the future, but I'm sure I've read that solid engine mounts are more recommended? All things will be taken into consideration, as I'd really love for this to happen, and I'm prepared to empty my...
Speaking with Andy@clioturbo atm, giving me some ins and outs and what he recommends. Unless charging can convince me otherwise, I think I'll be going down the stage 1 kit from clio turbo. Unless money is there, and I can afford to go balls deep.
By track it I mean like maybe twice a year sort of thing, nothing competitive just purely for a good laugh. It will primarily be a weekend/toy merely to have the fun factor, and obviously to hear ptshhhhhhhh.
Good shout, things like this I hadn't really put into perspective. I'm not setting myself a budget atm, as I know that'll go tits up and probably have an extra ££££ on top.
Thanks mate appreciate it. :)
I have not, I've witnessed many but never had the joys of experiencing it for myself. Can't believe brakes fled my mind on upgrades, of course haha. I just want to start putting a list together as I've said above, I have plenty of time to save up and obviously there is no rush.
That's mainly my thought, still living with my parents and will do for another good few years at least, and I have no commitments other than a Girlfriend (the pain is real), so I'd like to put some money away for a while and put it into the Clio.
At the moment, merely driving to my girlfriends house (10 mile round trip) and occasional use, maybe once a week to work as I lift share with my dad, so if he's off etc. I'm hoping at the end of the year if things go my way, I'll have gained an apprenticeship I'm in the process of...
First off, I'm not going to do the same as most and ask how much, what power and all that rubbish, I'm merely after some advice and or feedback from certain members. Basically I've come into a little lump of money, £1500 to be exact and you can tell where this is going. Firstly I thought, great...
I'm alive, fear not I know you're all worrying as I haven't posted in over a week, lul. Left for Cornwall on the 26th June and came into a bit of a mishap 2 hours into our journey.
There was a log in the middle of the motorway, and there was no avoiding it especially at 65mph (CC...
