Just checked on the mirrors and they look properly s**t. Just hope that some serious t cut on them will work tomorrow or im going to have to start again. Grrr.
To be fair I did question whether It even worked at first as its not like the Twingo's I had. The ESP especially on that was awesome and perfectly judged whereas this lets the wheels spin forever before it actually does anything!
BUGGER!
Ignored my own advice while spraying my mirror caps and decided to use the whole can of lacquer as there was a tiny bit left....BIG mistake it now looks orange peely from where it spurted on the last few strokes and ive got a nice big run! b****cks!!!
Still pleased with the exhaust...
Im holding off till I can put up with the standard ones no longer/have a bit more cash to play with. I've got a set of two cobra fixed backs one with leg cushion and one without, all I need is a subframe. Obviously it will have to use a harness.This option will be a PITA though come MOT time as...
I've not bothered as of yet. I really should do though as ive not comfortably pushed the car too hard yet purely for fear of sliding out the seat/pedals LOL
Not sure if the video does it justice but heres an in car of the exhaust...
Watch "Clio 172 ktec/janspeed stealth exhaust" on YouTube
Clio 172 ktec/janspeed stealth exhaust:
Most people seem to know its a 172. People have slated me for my car choices in the past but I have always picked the best drivers cars of the time for the least amount of money. Take the Clio for example. Im sure I could keep with the nre Fiesta ST if I was to get a chance but I paid £1700 for...
Simple stuff really.
Some nice reclining seats
A panel filter
A custom remap
Lightweight 15's or 16's
R888 or similar
Some braided hoses
and some better suspension biased towards a roadcar setting.
Just get guys a lot younger than me staring at it with lust. You know the type. Officer worker. Geek. Sort of guy that drives a Volvo estate even though he's 23 max!
Oh and I overheard some young lads walking past it one night say "That car is just a chav with an engine"
Then he walked past my...
Clio 172 phase 2 has to be the ultimate budget choice.
Find me a car with similar performance and spec brand new and I'd have to pay well over 15k. I've just spent just under 2 grand all in (including purchasing and fitting a ss exhaust) on a car that needs no work for many many miles to come.
Suffering serious Clio withdrawal at the moment....if I had to recommend one modification that exhaust would be it. Its the best money I have ever spent on a car imo
Yeah I dont even have my car down here! I was given a 1.2 corsa to get me and two other lads down here (portsmouth from norfolk) and all our kit and It was the most horrendous vehicle I have ever driven in my life!!!! I had my foot buried to the floor coming off slip roads and the car was...
Funny you said that as a few years ago I was based in surrey and had a lowered saxo and one time I went around a speed bump slowly and the woman behind cut me up so i almost smashed into her and started giving me abuse. To which I replied that I wasnt going to damage my car by going over the...
I can only imagine what throttle bodies would sound like on a Clio! Must sound amazing. I've only bought an exhaust and im pretending its touring car! lol
Still loving the colour of this but I think you need to gloss black your bullets and renault badge.
I would do but Im now away on a shift and then 5 days of training and a 4 day shift again! It will be fine but feck me Its annoying. Luckily suffolk doesnt seem to know what speed bumps are!
I've taken it slow over speedbumps and they have been fine so far. Bit annoyed at the garage to be honest as it looks a bit schoolboy error. Saying that they probably didnt notice as they would have had the car on a ramp.
Well im assuming thats what ktec sent as I had my local garage fit it for me purely because I didnt want to be fecking around under a car with not much room. Annoyingly it seems that the clamps could have been twisted so they would give more clearance because as you can see at the moment they...
I find it really very hard to believe the hype of the Fiesta ST. Theres just something in me that says "no way is a fiesta ever a drivers car" I've driven the 200cup and I thought no other small front driver could ever come close. I need to have a play with one. I used to think the Corsa VXR's...
