Alien Green 197, R26 Engine, cup cage...

[Daniel]

I really really want this!

Best engine? Check.

Best colour? Check.

Best front end? Check.

(Sadly its got utterly s**t seats)

 

[Scrooge]

All easy things to change but the lights and seats are f**king awful. The green touches on the dashboard need f**k off too.

Seen this in person at knockhill, bit of a dog, pretty sure it's a written off 1.2 made into a r26 engined 197 body!

 

[Djw John]

What she just said, it's a 20ft car but superb idea. Cage is f**king scary up close!

 

[Daz.]

Not a bad starting point! Can't see how that engines running safe boost though! Unless he's missed engine parts off

 

[Daniel]

Yeah I kind of got that impression from some of the pics.

The idea is spot on, but lets be honest, to make that into a 'decent' looker in the way he has (essentially starting from scratch!) would cost tens of thousands!!

 

[lemonnobby]

Boost is about right iirc but the power is on the limit of the engine but i suspect its a rubbish dyno

Its a bit worrying that he thinks thats a 200 shell. :s

What makes you think it's not ?

 

[Knuckles]

Its a bit worrying that he thinks thats a 200 shell. :s

could be. i dont think there is a difference between the 197 and 200 shells.

itd make sense to get an ag 200 shell to save respraying tbh.

i really like that! bar the lights

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

This is that smashed up 1.2 that was repaired using 200 parts iirc. There are several threads on here..

 

[The_Pirate]

I've seen that up close too, not pretty.

naah that was a black 1.2 with ag bumpers, then it was resprayed black and fitted with s**t wheels.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

He probably got all the parts Jimmy cheap as he works in a breakers yard up here.

 

[LiamR172]

Sorry, my mistake. Fraz was it at knockhill the other week? Didnt see it!

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Flol at the parking sensors, and the asking price!

 

[daydotz]

well autotrader seems to think its a 2008 RENAULT CLIO 1.2 TCE Dynamique in black

flol the advert even says that

 

[Knuckles]

Flol at the parking sensors, and the asking price!

parking sensors onto anything other than a massive barge/coupe etc is laughable imo.

small hatch backs do not need parking assist.

 

[LiamR172]

I mind we had a meet in Aviemore and we were all sitting in a carpark getting photos when a RB 182 Full of boys kept passing. Then he came in.. with parking sensors!

Douche

 

[Knuckles]

lol.

people who fit them to hatchbacks need to be forced to retake their test if they're that s**t at parking

 

[Stan.]

Don't like it

S4LV4GE potential profits at there best; 450-750quid smashed 2 pieces clio 1.2, 200-600POUNDS cash for shell, 700-1500quid megane 225 smashed, bolt it altogether 3k sell all unused parts 1500POUNDS+ CASH, possible sale of complete "special track" car 8-10k

 

[tommy g]

that has potential to be awesome. Get rid of the gash seats and harnesses, respray the cage alien green instead of the lime green which clashes like fook, paint the calipers back to o.e.

 

[midge]

Awesome car tbh, however, A writtan off 1.2 repaired with a 200 shell and an r26 engine. Screams ringer to me.

You cant just go changing the shell of a car, i'd also hazard a guess that there isn't actually a part on it from a 1.2.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Unless the shell was bought brand new, its not legal to reshell.

But that aside, it looks like a pretty good basis for a track toy IMHO, although thats strong money for a relatively modest spec car with such a dodgy past.
