We weren't to know at the time, I try not to think about it! Circumstances, long relationship break up and had to go back to one car ownership so the Clio would do the 2 jobs.... Workhorse and trackday car. The Odyssey Blue was 3k, I paid £500 cash and the GT Turbo for it. The white 5 is back...

I'd buy it back in a heartbeat! It was my first RenaultSport car, a cracking introduction to Clio ownership. I part exchanged it for my 190hp Renault 5 GT Turbo, and haven't looked back since! Memory alert! Didn't I buy the 16" OZ Superleggeras of you?

Indeed! I gave Matt from Code Red Motorsport the rolling shell and interior as a thank you for working on the white Clio. He put it back on the road, acquired a 2nd Odyssey Blue and kept them on the road. I think, and a big IIRC moment he took one over to France when he moved. He'll definitely...

Yes! We need to think positive.... Now where is that dam shell!

Cool, appreciate it. I think timescale wise it to me 3-4 months. Was a good time

Was devastated to hear of it being broken, ridiculous. People often ask me what was my best project Clio, it's a toss up between the white phase 1 and the supercharged Petrol Blue 182. So, combine the supercharged 266hp 182 engine setup into the white phase 1... And IMO you have the ultimate...

I sold it on to a chap in Norfolk for 3.5k who then fitted TBs which punched out over 200hp. For some reason something happened in which it might have been broken up again. I think he put it up for sale for like nearly 7k with no bites on it. I think I built this about 7 years ago, from a bare...

Was an awesome Clio, really enjoyed building it up from a bare shell sitting at the back of the pub to blasting round the Nurburgring. One of my fine moments in Clio project history.

Almost done, top hard pipes being powdercoated black and back Wednesday.

Well, not me personally :tonguewink: New designed and made top hard pipes that work with both the OE IC setup and their FMIC kit. All being fitted to the Clio, I'll hopefully have it back early next week then back up to RS Tuning in Leeds for a map tweak

It rings bells as I'm sure it happened to me years ago when setting up for the emissions.

He might have put in F7P or F7R, maybe the latter being 2L? Not finding it on the system and putting the next derivative of model to get that part of the test done.

Dropped the Clio off at Airtec

Yeah I'm leaning towards LY and or maybe black. I think its looking a bit busy with LY, black, grey, the chrome badges. Trouble is i like the wheels white at the moment so maybe an all LY spoiler.... Or black top piece, black wheels, black blade, diffuser, badges. There's a few combinations...

And you wont be the last lol, I wouldn't expect everyone to like it. When it's painted it should look more at one with the rest of the car.

As said on FB, awesome photos. The anthracite looks bang on with LY

Appreciate all the comments thank you. I wouldn't normally go for such a change bodywork wise. After seeing the spoilers on the Cup race cars and the RS16 it made me realise it needed something like this to make a difference. Ive seen a couple of other aftermarket spoilers but to me they dont...

360 mile round trip to Somerset yesterday to pick up the spoiler I ordered in November 2017. Its still in its primered state and temporarily fitted, with a bit more fettling and then paint it'll be all done.

Indeed, Pro Alloy FMIC is my next step. To be fair, ITG, map and Pro Alloy should do for the 220. After that it's personal touches IMO.

You do know that RS Tuning have cracked the latest ECU to map the facelift 220 :smile:

Tis indeed! Next Saturday for the fitting then back off for painting.

Let's hope time doesn't drag on too much! Im having the same wait for the spoiler, ordered November and finally getting my mitts on it next week!

Thats brilliant news Rob, i look forward to seeing it and maybe book a trackday somewhere before CS18.

Love the euro trip and how you've described it, in fact I like the way this whole thread has been done. Keep up the good work and updates.

Indeed, the Rotrex bolts in place of the AC pump. Mine was a 2nd car for trackdays, shows and general fun times so for me losing the AC wasn't a big deal, but do appreciate in our rare summer months and for people abroad it's quite the necessity.

Interesting that no one ever mentions supercharging. It's a far easier conversion to do, less to go wrong, and decent power output too.... All in stock internals, just my 2 pence worth.

As a 2 tone like the RS16? I'm getting confused now there's so many variables :smile:
