Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Can I just say that, Jord I think all your photography and documenting is EPIC!
Not many people can make a Sub-frame look sexy lol
Good news.
Like some others have said, get this running mint and cane it round a track for abit. No need to go over board with F1 technology this time!
The number one failure of projects is over complication and things going over budget. Set a budget and stick to it, as know you there is...
Everyone on here including my self will tell you to go for coil overs and then get them set up properly including - tracking, tow, cast, camber and perhaps corner weighting.
If you have the cash go for H&R or LEDA.
If your not doing track days then think about a set of Koni sport dampers and...
Sorry for the confusion, the black 172/182 look a like was not my car, that was a guy called simon on here, however that car is now dead :-( In fact there are about 3-4 cars in these pics that are now dead lol.
FYI the black 172 was on H&R's, carbon bonnet, Recaro seats. Ill post some more...
Yep my Cup went on TV lol, the Used Car Show programme wanted a mint Clio Sport and seen as my Cup only had 8,000 I let them use it.
Look very closely at that '182'.... because its not a 182 its a 172! was an awesome car thou.
Love that RS its just so retro, wud love to have one tucked up in a garage.
As for the Vee ddddaaaaaaammmmmmmeeeeeee that's minty fresh now with added zest :-D
I got to say the 172FF was the nicest car because it was 100% mint. However it was the slowest (if you can say slow) out of the lot. The worse one was the 172 CUP as I didn't like the poverty spec, but each to their own.
These are some pics I took of the last three years of ownership and club meets basically a random collection of my pics.....
During the three years I have owned:
172 FF
172 CUP
182 CUP
172 PH1
Clio 16v Turbo
After owning all these cars I can honestly say they are all epic in their own way...
Love Mk1's love mk2 ph1 + 2, still dont like the the mk3 styling although slowly coming round to like the 197. Looking at the GT model I think the 197 styling will be pretty cool.
Took this vid at the 2009 Birmingham Autosport exhibtion.
Was amazing watching! sounded insane in the membrane and smokey as hell as it was inside lol
Enjoy.....

Totaly forgot I had this vid!
I took this vid back in the summer of 2007 at a Renault Sport day, after blagging Ali he kindly gave me a ride... thanks Ali!:D
I kept the cam quite low as your not allowed to film without a mount and of course at the end of the vid we get black flagged for this...
