Back in a Clio. Another Failsport purchase.

[Scrooge]

I really really like that!

 

[Craig.]

£750 what a price, it looks great.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Looks great! And what a bargain and spec

 

[Sir_Dave]

Tis alright I suppose ...

Looks even better when clean btw!!

 

[Rob]

Price and a half! Jesus! They're aren't half some bargains around atm!

Good buy you ginger clepper.

 

[Budgie]

Terrible pics, but gave it a clean.

Also, the steering wheel was pretty fucked and melted. Spent some time removing the melted bits with a scraper and then smoothing the wheel with a wet rag. The colour coming off it:

Have also refitted the rear seats and parcel shelf.

Overall, I'm in love with being back in a Clio. Perfect daily hack I think.

 

[Cub.]

Book Llandow. Or I'll ignore you for the whole of Le Mans.

 

[Gavin.]

I'll say it again, such a bargain. Great looking motor.

 

[Rob]

I'd say get the steering wheel re-trimmed but at a 7th of the cost of the car I'd say it's not financially viable.

I also have spares.

It'll do for now as it is, but I'm going to bodge a decent one together to use for the future. May even lookout for a cheap aftermarket one/197 upgrade.

I can't- it's Vish's wedding.

 

[welshname]

That's a proper bargain. Do want.

 

[Rob]

I can't- it's Vish's wedding.

Him and Nick and finally tying the knot?

Him and Nick and finally tying the knot?

I have you know I'd never do such a thing. Would only marry Mike tbh.

 

[Cub.]

​FLOL. Shame, Llandow is going to be good. I'm sure Vish would understand

 

[Jekyll]

£750!!! Billy bargain right there!

Skoda splitters look better on monaco's....

 

[SBV116]

It's a nice car! Would of bought it myself for that money!

 

[TimR26]

Nice Monaco, absolute bargain!

If the 2118s are going Monaco looks best with silver 172 alloys or Turinis imo

 

[Budgie]

2118's will be going I think.

F1's to replace them as I'm a pikey.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I'm a pikey.

Quoted for truth.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Good news is Failsport Guildford Branch has two sets of OZ F1's in stock, enquire within...

 

[Budgie]

So, been ages since I've updated both of my threads.

In short, I've done 5-6k properly abusive miles in the car as it's lapped it all up.

We went on a trip to Le Mans where the car got a little bit dirty and painted on:

After a brief evening of rallying:

And how it cleaned up:

So, halfway through LM, it started massively overfuelling. Pops and bangs on the over-run that the 17 year old clan would love, even at 1500revs!

Got it home to find out the second lambda sensor had gone AWOL. No big deal- I had a spare.

Had a little run in the other day with the five-o. The missus took a picture:

Turns out the actual limit in an NSL is 89mph. Anything that starts with a 9 is three points. Just bad luck I suppose, and I've been on borrowed time.

Also, I went to another camping night as part of a stag do. Turns out an air bed, double duvet and pillows is a palace for someone as short as me. f**k tents.

Spec changes:

Becker has gone.
Carbon trims have gone.
Spare wheels have gone.
Maxogen has gone.

What remains:

2118's (although these are soon to be swapped for F1's
Bilsteins
DS2500's
Connect2.
Whiteline

All in all, it's the perfect daily.

 

[Christopher.]

Looking good there Mike

 

[Wick]

F*ck me that was a total bargain.
