172 track day car

[rickyp-rpm]

i bought a clio cup to use as a track car as they seem to be a popular choice @ the moment (probably as they have really droped in price)
not the tidyest example and came with gangsta tints and some wheels which leave a lot to be desired, its got a cat back stainless exhaust (looks like a powerflow type job )
pic to follow of when i first got it

[rickyp-rpm]

[rickyp-rpm]

(to which a few on here did not aprove of)

 

[rickyp-rpm]

[Russ_16v]

Well it stands out mate! As long as your happy that that matters

Its because your not a paid member i guess mate?

 

[hughesclio]

OMG :S

 

[Bazzon]

Has it had a front end smash at some point? (No RS grille)

You need some 15inch wheels

 

[danjf]

interesting appearance

 

[wallis_172]

hmm sort it out

thats one sad looking cup

 

[Daniel]

If you can put some bigger pics up that would be great.

Took about 3 minutes to view! (And then I was upset...)

 

[kevo66]

Taking the huge wheels off would help mate TBH!

 

[Tom 46]

Saw this yesterday at mallory, got new wheels on now havnt you?

Didnt look bad at all yesterday and certainly stood out with all the new stickers on.

With your history with other cars, cant wait to see how this turns out!

yeah i bought some turbines but they did not suit the car.
so i've got some 2118 speedline's and put some goodyear f1 tyres on
few more stickers on the car too.

the wheels that were on were 16" which are the same as standard cup wheels :S

i was going to do the engraved wrighting on the wheels orange (speedline course)

 

[Gray]

The back looks real low, you got a dead body in there LOL?!

Looks better with the stickers added to it now

 

[FlansS14]

Good colour choice, I thought it was Yoz's to start with, cool pics to, who took them? That's my mate in the White saxo trying his hardest to keep the 106 at bay

 

[leeds106]

few pics from mondays trip to york dragway

its actually sat higher at the rear, but will be going lower when i fit the new rings on my coilovers (old one's are seized:dapprove

 

[rickyp-rpm]

cheers for the pic's mr leeds106,
quite disapointed in the 1/4 mile times tbh 15.1 sec
but not a bad place to start with concidering it still got the cat on.

15.1 with cams?

Or is it not running cams?

 

[Joeh]

No cams, bog standard at the minute, he's only had it just over a week i think, look at whats done allready. If he likes it then i think there will be at least cams by next week knowing ricky lol

 

[rickyp-rpm]

it has standard cam's at the mo but like joe said these are likely to get changed @ some point in the near future (prob before fcs depending on funds)

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

I really like that looks quite cool much better now it has stickers

lol at the massive line of jap crap in the background

 

[widdo]

Looks different, many more stickers going on it? I think the sticker arrangement of ur old old would go down well on it. this is you old ones aint it? or have uyou still got it?

 

[Russ_16v]

15.1 is a little low for a cup i would have thought going on all averages, is it completely standard? Interior still in?


Loving the stickers!

they change the look so easily and if you get bored you can remove them easily, loads easier than having a re-spray.
