dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg43+
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Top pic is a true Representative of what it looks like, just been looking at them in the garage and they are pretty dark!
I can lower it down, cant guarantee it will get washed or the tyres shined for a while.
Once all the spacers are on and coilies adjusted to suit I think ill pull it off.
after the first coat of paint I did think WTF have i done but stuck it out.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Like the colour choice Dan, nice to see something different from bright yellows/greens/pinks etc.
What is your verdict on the cams/idle set up etc now you've had it a while? Thinking of going for 421's instead of 438's as I dont want to pay k-tec's prices.

Cheers
Idle is a bit rough on the cold start but soon smooths out after about a minute, then it idles just under 1k which doesn't bother me in the slightest though the idle is rather rough but thats the same with any wilder cams. Im really pleased with the way the car feels and drives, rather quite usable. The way Dan has set the car up is brilliant, cant fault the car at all! So ive read/been told there isnt much difference between 421s and 438s so the gains should be similar.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Im tempted as 197's are so cheap, need to track this one abit first then might look into it next year, im hoping 200 prices drop like crazy when the new RS Clio is out!

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
The only thing that makes me want a mk3 at current is the recaro seats. Though i was having a nosey at a 200 at Renault yesterday in that dark grey colour, it is f**king lovely! But money wont allow one for a while yet ha

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
One rear 10mm hub spacer from Ed fitted, sitting nicely now though im having second thoughts on the colour choice :S
Hopefully i will fit the other 10mm spacer tomorrow in daylight (my extension leads and flood light wouldnt reach the other side of the car) and make a decision on the wheels, if im not feeling it the other two will go either matt black or anthracite as i have enough to do both wheels in the garage.
Fingers crossed it looks nicer than when having a 400w flood light on it, otherwise im going to rock mismatched wheels.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
I'd love a set of anthracite 2118s tbh.
As for other wheels I refuse to pay decent money for williams wheels, the last two sets I had were dirt cheap.
Saying that I've had 2 clios, 2 sets of ph2 wheels, 2 sets of f1s and 2 sets of williams.
The f1s are staying regardless for now!

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Expensive spoilers ha! If you get one ill take the cup spoiler of your hands presuming yours has one? Going to go for a wrap then? would be pretty awesome, how much would he charger for that? and most importantly what colour would you go!

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Yeah they are but they look awesome in my opinion. And yeah I got a cup spoiler so you can have first dibs well he said around a grand for a full wrap in basically colour I want? I did think satin white as I like white cars but I also like that storm grey colour like the Matt sorta thing. But it'll be ages if I do it. More important things to save for.lol and glad you sticking with the wheel colour looked good!

I was going to suggest storm grey would be awesome! I dont know how that fairs price wise, but seems reasonable
Havent seen them in daylight still, but i like the wheels and thats what matters lol

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Its different and looks alright. was a bit of a random choice colour wise for me, normally i just paint everything and anything satin black.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Would be alot of money spent to cover a decent condition 182 though!
You can clean it whenever if i dont get roped into working all weekend and it doesnt rain i maybe tempted to clean it, maybe.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Got to say I used to hate the look of the ph1 Clios but since joining this forum I have grown to really like them. Definitely think your red one was lovely and a shame it is no longer in one piece, aslo think Lewis' old white ph1 Clio was a beauty as well!
Cars looking really good though and that picture of it on track with the previous owner looks ace as well

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Thanks I wish I never broke the flamer, really was an awesome car as was Lewis's ph1.
If I enjoy this car half as much as the ph1 it will stay in my ownership for a fair while. Unsure where/what im doing with this car. Except not spending big on it!
Thanks

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
If you decide you want your recaro's back let me know, might make my car an easier sale as its neither a track car or road car at the moment.Thanks

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
New induction on consisting of,
70mm elbow - £free as it was in the garage from the ph1
70mm stainless pipe - £free as i got it from a pipe fitter
4 jubiliee clips- £free as i got them from stores on site
72mm ITG filter - £42 off ebay BNIB, randomly on there listed as a 72mm so i snapped that up as it was cheap but it turned out to be the 70mm one i needed.
70mm Joiner - £3
Toal of £45. Will fold some stainless 1mm sheet into a heat shield for it tomorrow as its sitting above the rad. The rad is smaller one from when it had ITB's letting the filter sit behind the upper grill, much less restrictive than being stuck behind the battery.
Just waiting on my washer bottle which is on its way down from Scotland, front spacers and ive got to laqueer the wheels. Then thats it for now
Slightly better pictures due to a new phone. It does look as if the bonnet would catch it, luckily it doesnt
