Clio Renaultsport No.7

[Chris205]

As the title suggests, this is my seventh clio Sport, some silly bug got me into it 3 years ago and for some reason I still cant find anything better for the money.

So this is the details about the car,

182 FF in Black Gold, 75k miles, couple of mature owners, well serviced and belts done at K-tec. A few small mods such as stainless exhaust, brembo discs & pads and an alloy footrest.

Some pics of when I picked it up, sorry for the quality (Iphone + Photobucket = fail)

It does have a cliosport sticker in the back window but I havent been able to trace them.

Since owning it for less than 15 hours I'd sorted the hanger on the exhaust, fitted my stuby aerial, fitted my Wests Renault Mats, megane splitter, lowered it 40mm and sorted a dodgy rear shock.

Plans really are to probably get the front end painted to make it mint, spend a weekend on the paintwork with the Rotary, get the wheels refurbished and save up for some cams, oh and fit my private plate (3/4)

Hope you all approve

Re: Clio Sport No.7

Who gives a f**k, they're generally known as Clio Sports, only CS geeks care about the 'Renaultsport Clio' monicker. Id be embarassed to call mine that in person to someone!

Yeah I'm happy to stick a fiver on it that theres absolutely no chance of it being broken, unless something catastrophic happens, however I happen to have a spare 182 engine and box there anyway if s**t gets real

 

[Chris205]

Re: Clio Sport No.7

whats it look like with the megane splitter?

Its the one off my old cup, from a ph2 megane, looks spot on, I'm going to give it a clean, polish and wax tomorrow if the weather holds out, then I'll get some updated pics of it

Re: Clio Sport No.7

That's not a Clio Sport though?

Looks nice. Splitter!

Re: Clio Sport No.7

Look forwards to seeing how this progresses over the next month, before you get bored with it & pull it apart.

No, they're not.

In the same way that Everest isn't known as a big hill. Because it's wrong.

 

[Christopher]

Re: Clio Sport No.7

Renaultsport Clio or Clio Renaultsport is acceptable. FYI.

A Clio Sport can be anything from a 1.2 16v to a V6. It's a model range.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Another one mate! looks tidy mind, i'll have to have a ride down and take a look

 

[Craig.]

Lets see how this one lasts :rasp: Shame you broke the cup like, i dnt think youll be happy untill you get another trophy?

Im onto my 7th clio, 5 have been Renaultsports other two dynamiques, i can easy see myself adding to that, like youve said they are a great car for the money.

 

[Chris205]

Cheers for the comments chaps, I owned if for 2 hours and was away up hartside, along to penrith and took a drive into keswick, lets just say the trophy is well and truely forgotten

If it stops raining I'll get some new pics of it with the propper camera

Loving the new one mate

 

[Matt W]

You're crazy. Good work.

 

[Wests Renault]

They are like an addiction lol. I'm on my 6th one now over about 3 years

 

[NFox]

Haha Chris, looking good though mate! You still venture down to this neck of the woods? Have to catch up if you do!

 

[jimjim150]

I'm going to try so hard not to get another Clio for my next car lol. They are so cheap though and are one of the nicest cars in the go-kart category.

 

[Bobby.]

You remind me of when I was a yound boy with lego would never stay together for long would always get broke lol.

 

[Chris205]

Haha Chris, looking good though mate! You still venture down to this neck of the woods? Have to catch up if you do!

Lol don't be pedantic. Say Clio sport to someone and 9 times out of 10 they'll know you're on about the 2.0

Really, what are the chances of some going, "oh, you mean the 1.2 edition sport?" lol.
