Great figures there. How does that affect the warranty being as it's still covered under one? Will rstuning warrant the engine as it's their map?
Get some videos up, would love to hear the induction noise.
I was selling a MacBook on gumtree the other day. And someone asked if they could pay by Paypal. I said I'd rather keep it to local buyers so he then said about bank transfer. But that's when it went weird. He wanted it posted out right away and would send me proof of the payment leaving his...
I know, I was only messing. If I had the ability, knowledge, time, space etc I'd do the same! You certainly know your way around a Clio, something I wish I did.
Looking forward to he updates bud. On that note, does this mean you'll be stopping buying cheap clio's to rip apart? Because if you do I might be actually able to find one!!!
I quite like that. It doesn't suggest what the engine could be though unless I missed it? Is the 2ltr turbo going to be replaced with a smaller turbo engine like most hot hatches now?
Very nice mate. Love these and especially in ly!!
Can you post a picture of the lights in the dark please? Really intrigued at how they look as they look great in the pics you've posted.
That looks lovely. Really like them in red and the led lights are awesome. Only seen them in the showroom but very nice and bright.
I'd love one and am still contemplating it. Would have to be a trophy 220 though.
Hi mate. Lovely car and I really like them in red. How do you find the gearbox in normal manual mode (I mean not in sport/rs mode).
Does it change quickly enough? Really need to test drive one of these. Im impressed with the Clio 4 build etc so this is a must have for me at some point.
Congrats! If you have tools and mechanical knowhow then there is an engine with new cambelt and dephaser (all be it without proof) on the cliosport.net bookface page for £200. Easy repair (apparently from the people who do it on here on their drives in the rain).
Get some pics up!!
I fitted cup springs to my non cup suspension 182 when I had it and it was a tiny bit lower, a little stiffer and felt more stable. (Not that a non cup isn't great)
Iirc retrofitting 182 cup shocks involves changing the hubs and more which isn't worth it. You could of course change to 172 cup...
I'm in the same boat albeit with a smaller budget than you. My last 172 was a cheap one with a couple of small issues, however now the prices seem to have gone up and people are after more for high mileage ones.
I'd look at the second one you've mentioned.
Lots on eBay/auto trader have rust on the arches which i thought was strange. I thought the shells were treated or similar and as such rust 'repellent' but it's happening.
Welcome back mate and congrats!! . I'm looking to either return in a 172/182 or a Megane 225. It's a difficult itch to shake is the renaultsport itch!!
Colour coding the strips is a good start, maybe a 172 rear bumper, and just drive it and enjoy it for cheap motoring that will keep going on as long as you look after it marginally well.
