Re: 172 with an unknown direction

This is coming along nicely.

Mint looking Rallye you had too, had one of those myself too, loved it! The Clio Sport is basically a grown up version of the Rallye.

Keep up the good work.

Re: 172 with an unknown direction

Got myself some Vmaxx coilovers fitted

Still awaiting custom rear springs to be delivered however!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty vs Clean

All clean, ride height set to see how it faired, Dropped it another 10mm once they were on the car though

Dirty Rear's, shocks etc

All clean and ready to go on

Had the car on 4 axle stands and all the wheels off which gave me the chance to give the wheels a good seal before the winter kicks in

Then popped out to get some pics on sat evening and sunday

And a nice evening shot just gone sun down, I wish my camera was better

Overall I cant fault the Vmaxx coilovers, I'm having some problems with the driveshafts rubbing on the body/chassis of the car, so will be notching it sometime in the next couple of weeks

Plans are to get some 45 profile tyres and maybe put another 0.5/1 degree of negative camber in

As Austin would say

"Its on its dish!"

Re: 172 with an unknown direction

Thought i would update this with my newest addition, cup spoiler and custom 65mm rear springs

Went out and took some pics on a typical wet windy autumn day

Re: 172 with an unknown direction

[CharlotteBD]

[DannoTheGreat]

f**k me thats nice!

 

[Chris205]

been a while since ive updated this

Since the above pics were taken ive been through two sets of wheels, had some prima's on it and the f1's, got my all time fav's now tho a set of 2118's


Also stripped the rear out, have a 300mm omp trecento uno steering wheel and boss and an omp record 2 seat, frame, side mounts and harness in

Will have pics of inside tomoz but for now you'll have to deal with the outside.....oooo did i forget to mention the ph2 rear end as well

 

[Gez]

look very nice. only thing, i dont think the yellw fogs go too well.
fav ph1 i think,

 

[nby]

looks stunning mate great work

 

[Aluco]

Awesome

I need to CC my exterior door handles but I cba especially because it's cold lol.

 

[Chris205]

oh and my new seat

mounting the frame and mounts was a bit of a piss on but sorted eventually

all in now though, i love it, feels more and more like a fast road/track car the more i do to it

next on the list is a half or full cage, and a second seat depending how sociable I'm feeling

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Looks tidy mate keep up the work

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

one seat you total gimp


Wana buy another 172 as a "take ya makes "

set of coilovers, custom rear's and a c-spanner, and go so low your driveshafts rub on the chassis :rasp: nothing to it really haha

 

[Pekes25]

ChrisT...you sold that gorgeus Ph1...:banghead: Nooooooooooooo...What have u done. :dead:

That car was simply stunning. :hail:

Good luck with your future PSA project.

Cheers

 

[Chris205]

bought it back, got a few things to get it back upto how it was looking

First step is wait for my new coilovers to arrive cant wait to drop it 6-7 inches on the front and about 5 on the rear, stance FTW!



Got a few plans but more so on the power front, maybe do a bit more to the interior this time though, make it a nice place to be

 

[Gally]

Did you buy then sell that rallye?

 

[Chris205]

which one ive had three lol

 

[Gally]

The white one I had an orgasm over the other day!
