And for my next trick...

[Duck]

Hello, current browser-of/soon-to-be-owner-of-when-the-cash-is-right a Clio 1.2 16v for my first car (would of been a 1.4 16v but I lost my job due to the current credit situation :dapprove

I told myself i'd keep modifications simple as it's a small engine with few power gains to be had, but after browsing this forum I know i'm going to end up spending way too much on the car!

I haven't really looked into Clios before, so a there's a lot of learning for me ahead. I haven't actually seen a bad looking/riced Clio on here yet, which is suprsing with todays YOOF.

Briefing over! :rasp:

hello there!

The 1.4 is no faster than the 1.2, better with the latter as will save you a bit of money!

 

[john182rs]

plus having a 1.2 is better on fuel and you can do all the mods like suspension, brakes and save up for a 2.0 engine conversion

welcome mate, where abouts in gloucestershite are ya?

suspension, clear repeaters and new grill should do the trick as stewart said, nice set of wheels but nothin pants please lol

I'm from Stroud area if you know it, few miles from Gloucester.

No need to worry about Lexus lights or plasti-chrome spinners, i'm a qualitywh**e! If money allows i'd like some AST coilovers and the compulsory Speedlines .

How i'd love a 2.0L conversion, but it will come with time. Gotta get used to driving fast in a 1.2L first!

 

[Ben.]

have you got your car yet?

 

[bomber]

stroud is larger than you think lol.

i live out towards the forest (but am not inbred or retarded) but work in quedgeley so am in stroud all the time with callouts and stuff.

shouldnt worry about ast's on a 1.2, just get some cheaper coilovers and save the pennies for when you can afford to insure a 1*2.

what colour is the car? and is it a phase 1 or 2? if its a phase one, fancy making yours into a lookalike 172

 

[Duck]

Stroud is the centre of the universe! :rasp: Glad to hear you're not one of the funny forest folk, had to put up with one day in, day out during my training! :dapprove:

I haven't got the car yet, still fiddling with getting compensation from the company that binned me (I was made redundant during my apprenticeship, and they're taking ages with payment).

Any recommendations on what year/phase of 1.2 16v Clio I should go for? (I'm not up to speed with the phase 1, phase 2, 172, 182, etc ) and while i'm at it, any colour recommendations? (Not too good with factory colour names mind you!)

Parts will be chosen based on what I can afford, hopefully, with any luck i'll find a few grand in the glovebox and treat myself to some Sachs or something Dream on kiddo

 

[Curley]

Mine

Hopefully going to be for sale in 2/3 weeks.
