Is the engine sound? If so, it's really not a bad start for a track car, but it's gonna be rough and ready! Get yourself a dash from one of the breakers on here (sutt auto's or cliospares) and it'll tidy it up a lot. Only about 45/55 delivered. I don't mean to be rude, but what is it you...

Joe how did you manage to get a god sized avatar? lol! Come down to the dartford meet btw! Long time no see, I'll buy you an orange juice.

Love the wheel colour, looks god damn spot on. Who done them/how much if you don't mind me asking? Oh and most importantly, what colour is that? Just satin black?

If he got it cheap enough, the interior can be made good for around £200, as long as it was silly cheap, I'd say for track, it's a good buy.

Better examples for less money available mate, there was a MINT one on PH for the same as that the other day.

Like that a lot, 182 wheels really suit it too.

No speedo needed for MOT. I was under the impression a road car needed a dash of some kind though, no?

Going expensive wasn't an option at the moment, so brand new, full standard assembly's it was. Bloody lovely tbh, after the exhaust is on and these new bushes go on, i'll be in love with it again, big time. I don't think the standard ones with coilies are too bad at all tbh. :)

Budgie, help me do mine then? Got one in my bedroom, but not done it, when I tried I didn't realise there was a nut underneath, and the pressure on the rubber just caused the ratchet to twang back!!! I guess I'll find the problem you're all talking about soon enough... :S

FLOL at some of the comments. Get up as many pictures as you can mate, and I'm sure a lot of people will help you find out if it's a genuine RS. You've bought it with the intention of turning it into a track wh0re and if you got it cheap as chips, why not? Most on here think a track car is...

Take it into apple then, i'm sure they'll replace it FOC, unless you smashed it with a sledge hammer that is...

Is the best thing in the world to do to your Clio. Since owning the 172, it's had these horrible compbrake things fitted, I thought the car felt fine/great, tonight, Danny_172, TheEvilGiraffe and I changed the mounts out for standard items. After quite some fettling, Danny and I figured out...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project I actually love the dedication that goes into this, and the acceptance that, no matter what, at the end of the day, its French, so it will break without reason. I still remember when you had the mk2 and was asking all the dumb questions I do now. lol!

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped! Ah ok, I guess you'd need the clio to be actual perfection, where as with the saxo, you don't have the same aims for the project. Shame though, the clio was lovely. This looks good too, mind :)

I did initially write "Rtwentysomething" but changed it as I thought I was right :( I'll hang my head in shame. I was going to include the hood furr, but I thought it was too much. ;) Look forward to meeting you and the motor.

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped! I'm a bit lost now as to why you didn't just finish the clio off and drop a 2.0 in it? I thought you sold the clio as it was costing too much and you wanted to save money? Don't get me wrong or take that as in...

My name's Rob, (hiiii Rob) and my car's not very shiny. /neglectersanonymous Teach me oh wise ones. lol!

I'm with that ^ lot. Looks very good indeed on those 15's.

My thoughts exactly Gal, he's ticked every single spec box I would have. Congrats on having the nicest 200 possible. IM(and arch-gap's)O

Good work indeed, perfect weather for spraying atm too. You've made a real nice job of those, should be proud :)

Good job that mate, like pretty much everything about it, tints aren't for me, but the rest I really like. Nice one.

You've blown the fuse that does radio, clock etc, its on the passenger side dashboard fuse box, not the one under the bonnet.

Re: Eds ph1 172 - The soon to be controversial project! I'm very suprised you don't like the handling! The car was set up my Mark Fish, and most on here really rate him as one of the best guys to go to for this kind of thing. RS 172, you seem to want to know the height of everyone's cars, get...

Very nice indeed that, and congratulations on having your first post where I don't just face palm myself.

Bloody brilliant write up mate, looks a good trip and something that's pretty easily do-able with a mate :)

Post 26??? I really quite like this, good work, not sure on the laminex 'shop, think a light smoke on the headlights could look better.

Exhaust looks better when you take pics from angles that you'd look at it from, not on your knee's. I still think you should consider a recess ;) If I get bored at work tmrw I'll do you a PS. Great times though mate, I have massive amounts of love for your car and the effort you've put it...

Mike, you never mention in your post's you're a mechanic, so people never know whether you know what you're talking about!!! FYI everyone, Mike knows what he's talking about. lol

I'll be there tart face. 1. Megzy 2. Clio-Ell 3. TheEvilSubaru 4. danny3inch 5. Rob
