... because, (Erm) race car?

 

[mwn11]

2 dif ecu's said about but nothing about exhaust. Does it look standard? Cant remember what a standard 182 exhaust looks like.

 

[LiamR172]

DONT KNOW THIS CAR BUT WTF IS THE CRACK WITH CAPITAL LETTERS????

 

[mwn11]

Also no cup packs but that doesnt particularly bother me.

 

[LiamR172]

Cant be arsed reading it again but does it have any sort of suspension upgrades? All that money on a car and no coilovers?

 

[Sir_Dave]

I cannot explain how much I hate those seats.

Such utter pikey tat.

 

[mwn11]

Yeah seats look awful, Eibach pro springs. No coils :'(

 

[Sam@NP]

nothing about that car is nice, I bet the engine is knackered.

 

[jon_r]

Worth loads more in parts @ £2k.

Great minds. I was going to post that when i first saw the thread but held back. Mind you it could be worse, they could be blue..lol

 

[Scrooge]

Can't really see the seats, are they those ones that used to be in Costco for £100?

 

[Adam.P]

I'm sure that was in pistonheads for 4.5kish a few weeks back.

 

[Chip-mk1]

As Jon_r says,
At 2k it would be a bargain, but its reserve not met, so without knowing what the reserve is its hard to comment much TBH.

He is after near 5K, I wished him luck

Glad someone shares my thoughts.

Thought that might be the case, no chance he will get that unless he gets very lucky IMHO.

Slightly off topic but have you any info on these? Are the ITG ones okay?

 

[Cup_Phil]

f**king hell - I'd be lucky to get £5-5.5k for mine and it has 4x the amount spent on it

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah, they arent a good investment these modified cars!

 

[mwn11]

5K! fuq dat.

Welcome back chip
​

 

[jon_r]

If he were to put a decent rollcage in it and market it as a race car he might get more of a return. Plenty of series using Clio's these days and the market for an almost ready to go car is there.

Mine certainly would never be sold a) as a road car and b) on here! if I were to ever sell.

 

[mwn11]

But then we never get the chance to own such lovely cars if you dont put it on here :'(

Every engine to have one has been fubared.

What you got? SOLD

 

[R-Sport.]

Wasnt there a guy who came on here with them on his ITB one- but also the mapping was W*NK because the ECU was a replica by some mickey mouse place- then the company came on here defending himself then ended up slagging the whole forum off?-

I recall the mapping was as bad as the filter- as bad as the ECU- they dont have any protection??

Because Fail.

 

[Sir_Dave]

The filter falls apart and gets sucked into the engine.

From my limited mechanical knowledge, ive been informed thats not good.

 

[Chi]

Unless you get one already done, safer too with my lack of knowledge..

 

[mwn11]

Safer getting one already done?

​Not sure i agree there

 

[Chip-mk1]

IF you get lucky and buy a well modified one then yes safer getting one done, however MOST modified clios for sale I reckon are largely sheds, the good ones dont tend to get sold!

FPMSL! I've got them in my GTI-6 track car.

Indeed! LOL! Tbh, they're not too bad. Might look for a set for the Ph1 just to annoy Dave

Ive noticed that they are few and far between.. Ideally I'd like to get one from one of the project threads so I can see what's been done and to what standard..

Sell you my racecar 20k to a fellow CS member?

That why I have had mine for over 4 years and it still runs a1.
