I have heard of them but never seen oe on the road, rare cars.

This is going to be like amphasite all over again........... Surely a piss take, you don't join a clio club if you think the car is chloe, FFS.

Realy realy nice car that, very tasteful modifications. How effective is the remap on the 1.4 16V?

Doubt that Chris, unless you couple it with this chip...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Some companies will do a NCB match. If you go to a specialist they will probably do you a deal if you explain its a track car and you will be doing only about 1000 miles a year

If I got a cup and it had climate control it would bug me a bit that it wasn't a proper cup, it will only add around 20kg's but it would just annoy me that they tried so hard to lose weight inc the thinner glass etc to go and slap 20kg of CC in. However for everyday practicality, well in the 3...

I thought capsicum car a one off colour for the trophy I stand corrected. I personally think it looks stunning on the trophy's but very average on the Non RS's. Its probably down to the colour coding and better looking bumpers though.

Nice car mate, the only marmite bit imo is the wheels.

RB looks amazing on a ph1. Awsome car this. How did it go on track? What sort of cars was it similar too with the ITB's etc.

What is the reason for taking the decat off? Surely on that setup it will cost you quite a few bhp?

They look very good mate, ideal winter/track wheels. I'd just have them as track wheels personally and get R888's on them.

On your parents insurance? if not then you must be a CS millionare, I know insurance prices in NI are much higher than the UK anyway. Your not allowed over 50 or something for the 1st year either are you, bet you stuck to that in a cup :rasp:

Looks good mate. Nice power too, cammed isnt it?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Good updates jord. The engine looks amazing, almost too good to put into the car and get dirty again.

If I was you mate, i'd wait for the facelift. Being one of the last Mk3 Ph1 197's it will depreciate far faster tha it woul have done. Look at the difference in price of a 53/04 172 to a 04 182 on average its now £1500 a few years ago it may have been more. Just something to be aware of, for...

I can get 55-57mpg on the motorway at a steady 50 and thats in a 1.2. There realy isn't much difference in fuel economy in the clio range unless its a Vee or a dci.

Believe me the way isurance is at the minute a 1.4 would be touhcing 2K. 17 in a 172 cup would easily be 3-4K imo.

Sorry to see mate, hope its sorted soon.

I'd do it, they'll get 60mpg combined no problem. The 1.2 16v has little if any benifits over the DCI.

I'm in the same boat as you mate. However I can't cancel because I'm only 18 and need my NCB in august so I can insure a 1*2. I actually had a dream about coilovers last nite :(

Good old french electrics

I think you need a good road, or a track day or something to help you fall in love with the car mate. However there is a chance its just not for you.

Looks absolutely fantastic mate.

Top car that mate. Its amazing how much better the higher/top spec Z4's than the standard ones. A mate has the 2.2 SE it looks gash tbh. You have great taste in cars by the way, another great addition to your collection.

They are extremely loud mate. Dynamat would help with the interior noise, tbh this is why i'd be tempted by the miltek over the yozza for the 182.

Nice car and pics mate.

I'd go for a mk2 Dci 80 if I was you mate. They're torquey and very economical. Remap will see 110 bhp aswell.

Thats sort of comment is why there arn't more interesting projects on here. I agree with you, and I would do the same, but I think this would be a very interesting project to see.

Take a chance mate, if you don't like it you could always get another 197. The R32 would have to be 3dr though.

Yozzaspots sound very good. Miltek's do also sound good though, especially with the centre box removed and decatted like christophers, its epic tbh. Can't comment on build quality of either though.
