After over 7 months without a car I've finally got myself one. The budget kept creeping up until it reached enough where I could look at the Clio Sports.
I've tried to be careful on the car I chose as I have made many mistakes in the past, so I was only interested in ones with good history and that appear to have been cared for. After seeing this car advertised on here and PistonHeads I did some digging and was confident it was going to be a good car. Some of you will recognise it as the previous few owners are on here.
Mods are:
RS tuner map
K-tec stealth exhaust
Bilstein B14 coilovers
Clio Williams wheels
Eibach camber bolts
Full suspension and 4 wheel geometry set up by Grinspeed
Ferodo DS2500 pads
Only picked it up today but I'm very happy so far.
Noticed a couple of issues since getting it, very slightly noisy clutch release bearing and I'm almost certain there's a knock from the front end, I don't expect it to be anything more than a bush or TRE but it needs further inspection. Few creaks from the suspension occasionally too but not sure if that's normal.
It's pretty much going to stay as is. I was planning on changing the wheels but I actually like them a lot more now I've seen them in the flesh. May debadge and put a new RS one on but not bothered just now.
First job though is to order a 3m headlight restorer kit to polish them up
Only got a few of my own pics so far...
On the way home
