Thanks for the tag @Clio_fool . This is pretty much the main reason I keep coming back. @yeecup I'll PM you now bud. Let's talk. I'm thinking of selling my Supra anyway. (If anyone wants a mk4 Supra, manual, 850hp haha).

Yeah actually, do that before we swap ;) I'll keep coming back to the forum to check haha

It seems about time for my annual declaration of "I want it back". I'm glad to see you're looking after it but it doesn't stop me missing it. Want to swap for a Mk4 Supra haha 😂

Hi mate, Long time no speak. I am well, hope you are too! I actually come on here relatively often in fairness but only to watch from a far haha. I only really comment when it comes to my old Cup and trying to pry it from @yeecup 😂

I'm so happy it's with a good owner though! You've really done it credit and taken it to the next level!!!

I still regret selling this EVERY day and it's the main reason I come back to CS regularly haha. I know there are other 172 CUP's but I just don't think they'd ever feel the same. I've said it before, I'll say it again. If you EVER sell....

Awesome mate! Sound like some great impending changes. It's so silly isn't it...I shouldn't care, but I'm really good it's in great hands and being looked after so well

Still got this @yeecup ? Any updates? She treating you well? I've had soooo many cars since this, including other 172/182's and it's the only one I keep coming back to I currently have a circa 850hp Mk4 Supra and even that I've never loved as much as this Clio Really have so much regret

Ignition imports come highly recommended by me, fairly new outfit but top notch cars in great spec. I've bought a number of cars from the owner prior to this venture

Nooooo, it's losing that plate aha. I miss this car so much and think about it all the time haha (sad I know) Love that you're taking good care of it mate

If you do sell it I STILL would love first refusal ?

I don't know why I subscribed to this. Genuinely the only car I regret selling, even with my current 182 and my Toyota Supra I miss this so much :( I have held off spending anything on the 182 as I know I'll keep comparing it to this and then things will snowball The one thing I will say is...

Want to swap for a FF 182 I miss this so much I’ve had a lot of cars but regret selling this one the most. I’m back in a clio but it’ll never compare. So many memories in URC too

I think about this car ALL the time. I miss it so much. It is without doubt the only car I regret selling. Really glad it’s back in good hands, seems you’re taking care and doing much the same as I would I want another but I know how much I’d have to spend to get it to drive like that one again

I do indeed, this is a sad day for me! I actually asked the lad that bought it from me to let me know if/when he sold it. I wish I'd known as I'm actually in the position to get another I spent a lot of money on it when I had it and it's still the nicest one I've driven. Sounds like it's been...

He still has it @DaveDreads and I still have mine...and now we're housemates...the neighbours don't like us having two Supra's haha. We completed a 2,000 mile European Roadtrip in it last summer and it was fautless...and EPIC!!!!! Not much changed spec wise on Rob's, he'sreally just been...

Agreed, 2jz is epic BUT you're talking absolute rubbish when comparing costs I'm afraid mate. 'for about the same price I'd take a 2jz fd over a boosted clio any day of the week' I don't know what a tidy FD is (complete minus the engine) but I'm guessing they must go for £3k+ ? Then the 2JZ...

HAHA YES YES YES YES!!! You're not lying, I have been moaning but for good reason and now CS (almost in it's entirety) has backed me up!!! Silver!!! The other Matthew is right too though, the brighter the better. When I had mine done they were the brightest and you know they looked the mutts nuts!

£££ worth of Clips, screws and bolts arrived from Toyota. Had difficulty removing some during the strip down so will be nice to pop new ones in :)

Yeah looking forward to the Screamer and as above it should sound very much like Rob's. Cheers mate, couldn't have done it without you :)

Latest update - More bad news - Some nice purchases too though So last night I made a purchase, a HKS Kansai lip, I deliberated a lot on the Lip for my car and finally settled on this. The plan is to have it HydroDipped in Carbon Fibre, I don't know how this will hold up but it's worth a try...

Hi Andy, I still remember reading this thread when I was lurking (before I even joined the forum) a few years ago. Since then I met you (and Le CBR) at a Black Mountain Run and have also seen the car a couple of times at BTM. I have to say I'm full of admiration not only for the car but also...

Thank you. Do it mate, you will not regret it! I can verify this (well I tried to watch the boost gauge but was pinned back in the seat haha) and it was a passenger ride in Rob's that made me settle on the same T61. To be fair the 3.0 straight six has a (relatively) large chunk of torque even...

^ I was literally just about to add that lot to my earlier reasons haha. The NA-T power delivery is like nothing I've experienced before and that was just from the passenger seat :D I can not wait and as Rob says if my engine lets go then it's minimal costs to pop another NA lump in.

Not much of an update today. I took my headlights Put them in the oven...that's what ovens are for isn't it? This softened up the glue allowing me to split the headlights This means I can refurb the lenses and also "facelift" the insides meaning I'll spray them black other then the...
