Farewell from me

[nightSpirit]

A little while back, I almost sold the Clio to buy a Radical SR3 but missed out. After viewing another SR3 at the weekend, I've decided to buy it and sell the Clio. My time with Clio has been good fun and following all the work, it's more than held its own on various trackdays.

Nice upgrade but surely paying the £12 to be a member will pay for itself when selling the Clio stuff??:S

Re: Farewell from me, selling/stripping the track car

fair point...can I get a refund on the months I don't use mods?

Aye, on PH. Had a guy view it and he made an offer (less than I wanted) and I haven't heard back to him when I suggested we meet in the middle...

Pics of the new toy...and yes it's road legal.

Very nice, are you really going to use it as a daily

Re: Farewell from me, selling/stripping the track car

Nope, afraid not.

Daily car? my god...I work 3 days a week in Brum (120 mile commute each way)!

I have the anti-Radical for daily driving, or as VW call it, the PooMotion Polo.

I'll prob renew my membership 172Ben, even if I do think you're really unfair

 

[realnumber 1]

Stunning, would love to have that as a toy!

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Some toy that. enjoy it!

 

[The Fatty]

you'll be back

RS2 up for sale?

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Has no one mentioned that your clio will beat it in the twisties yet? CS is slacking!


Car looks awesome mate, enjoy it

 

[McGherkin]

Clio or Radical. Tough choice... not.

Could do without all the Monster logos though.

 

[Bluebeard]

Road legal??!! FLOL!!

Hat's off to you mate. That's some piece of kit.

 

[sonny172cup]

Dont these engines have to be rebuilt every 10hours of use or so?

 

[Advikaz]

Mega track cars. This the turbo? Fell in love with the gearbox when I drove one at brands.

Hero. Slight upgrade from a clio.

Please take it through a mcdonalds drive through and put some photos up!

Some of these comments are priceless

It's N/A, running the 1.5ltr Hayabusa/Powertec lump (stroked 1.3ltr). 252hp with a kerb weight of 475kg. You're not far short on the engine maintenance...for racing they need a refresh every 30 hours but for road and track use you can more than double that (many say around 100 hours if serviced regularly every few track days). Reading the owners manual is 'different' as it just lists all the stuff that needs replacing after xx hours.

Monster stickers are coming off and the car may get a respray in satin black...maybe.

And yes, I will be both:

a) taking my two year old to Tesco and parking in the parent and child bays.
b) driving through KFC (McDonald's is my sworn enemy) with a full face helmet on.

 

[Addicted]

Jeez that's some toy, need pictures of peoples reactions to seeing it in the parent and child bays, it would be hilarious!

 

[McGherkin]

Absolute hero. Stick around!

 

[nightSpirit]

I will do and hopefully I'll see some of you on track next year...passenger rides available for CS owners

 

[Coops Mk1]

legend, look forward to parent and child space parking and reactions/incandescent rage from general population

Almost worth buying the car alone, for that!

Really great toy. It would be funny to see some SR3 at the traffic lights.

Much like this little lad at the Ring the other week

I saw a baby seat in a 430 CS at the Ring this year The Germans have got it right with petrol related activities!

I tried to get the kids out on track with me (eldest is 4) but the wife wasn't amused.
