go for it mate, will be awesome to see it done, I can not see why people discourage performance development on clio's, and always try and knock people down, it honestly looks like jealousy any idea how the chassis will cope through the corners due to the boost? I know i use the throttle to...

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. got a deposit on it mate, waiting for the guy to collect it, either getting a 172 cup, or vag 1.8t :)

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. im sure thats jon.L's old car

like austin says, i sold bits off it and have a rallye now, which ive fixed and took a deposit on :) looking for a clean 172 cup, 182 or integra dc2

nice style wheel mate, dont think it can pull the colour/style of wheel vs the silver paint work Still its an improvement over 17's :) I did the white 2118's on my silver ph1 172 that 172ben now has, its probably the only time i will agree that silver and white goes, its just the rally style...

lol i will get some pics up when im happy with it mate :)

project ended, now sold for a track 106 rallye 16v :) i'll be back though, more than likely in a 182 in the near future

Its fully caged, running carbon kevlar seats, billstein suspension, full polybushed, 16v with de-cat back supersprint race only exhaust, lower brace, solid lower engine mount and a few bits of smoothing Im more into driving so I wanted something that was a more 'raw' version, i had an s1...

nice mate :) Got a lovely omp record 2 seat there if you're interested ;-) Also, i need that sticker in the back window for my rallye haha

Mine was sat on the shafts, well pretty much, it used to rub on them over every slight bump, in the end it just rubbed a hole in the plastic/chassis :) Chassis notching is your friend but from the pics it doesnt look as low as mine so you shouldnt have any issue's mate Yellow - i did a p.x...

Ive just sold my clio 172 and bought a 106 rallye with 16v conversion, no nonsense i.e power steering, abs, just you and your skills, handles brilliant One thing i did notice about the clio on roundabouts was its tendancy to understeer, due to the heavier more torquey engine, I can imagine this...

very nice, although you now make me want mine back :( Only thing I'm not too keen on is the front plate, just doesnt look right because of the bigger recess dare i say it....yellow fogs :rasp:

alrite jam nice to see you got signed up ok Look forward to seeing you in the new year sometime so i can get to work on your paint :)

or cover up the tailpipe then any leaks will blow

quite frankly ive just let my ph1 172 go for similar money, mine went with ph2 sidestrips, ph2 rear bumpter, ph2 back lights, ph2 interior handles and with a de-cat My car had absolutely nothing wrong with it all be it the mileage was high at nearly 98k There are some bargains out there to be...

looks awesome mate, was good to meet you on sunday aswell, glad they cleared the calipers :) for a moment it makes me think its my car, same with tonaz car and my o.z f1's, i need to stop selling my wheels to people with silver cars, my prima's went to a guy on here with a silver 182 :-) Keep...

Dont tell kev he'll try it at 145 haha the longest jump in history, I will pop along in me french beastie, ne jumps for me though, as I dont fancy the repair bill/hospital time if it goes tits up

you're the original pikey :rasp: Honestly i hate them wheels like mate, you need to get the turdrini's on asap it will make the car look a lot better

nice ride height, nasty nasty nasty wheels haha

thats exactly right mate, i drive my car spirited everywhere i go, thats exactly the reason why i modify it, to build the car around me, make it my own, and for a better driving experience I pay road tax, i'm making the most of the road's, when the traffic permits ofcourse

i'd rather do a euro trip over some famous race tracks including the 'ring' . Im sure after some good tuition, some properly set up suspension and brakes, you'll enjoy yourself driving fast around a circuit more than going fast in a straight line Maybe think about cams as a cheaper option...

that sounds broke to me Ive just done 180 miles to £25, 160 of those miles were sat at 90ish mph, and with a de-cat as well :)

yep, gear ratio's are longer in the ph1's, it has its pro's and con's when up against the ph2 guys in a straight line race though As for the seats.....you sit in them, not look at them, and they have 'propper' rear head rests Dashboard...meh, it isnt bad, but not as good as the ph2, if the ph1...

thats the one yes, but not the one that is pictured, the pic is wrong, the one you get will look like this

IMPO start with the basics, itg replacement panel filter, exhaust, de-cat and on the Clio's match the inlets and get an rs tuner map, and get a larger air feed You'll probably spend nomore than 700 quid and gain around 10-15bhp If i were going to charge my car I'd want all the above done...

driving tuition is a very good point, its all well and good having a fast car, but pretty useless if you cant drive it to its full potential Also the driving skills you pick up will be with you for life, and be a long term investment for you :) Its your money at the end of the day though, but...

hey its natural, i love my little car, if i had the extra cash I'd probably get a cup as Im more of a driver, and would benefit from not having the abs or air con, too much weight Both excellent cars, it all depends whether you want looks, or more cash to spend on making it your own :rasp:

looks awesome greeny, aint seen you around for ages, hows the motor going?

the ph1's look 'ard' as nails, where as the ph2 looks like something you'd take to get false nails ;-) haha If you want to make your own drivers car, a ph1 could be a good place to start, it all depends if you want to have a standard or modified car Standard vs standard....cup hands down its...

Yeah sorry about that I farted on your seat :)
