First Clio inferno 182

[readie]

i have just sold my Citroen Saxo so that i could purchase this:

Clio 182
both cup packs
ktec ultra performance exhaust
JMS group n map
inferno orange 76k
172 cup wheels
before clean:

after its cleaning

plans for it are:
fix the exhaust as it is blowing
air filter most likely a panel filter!
ktec coilovers with solid top mounts

what are peoples thoughts on the KTR solid bolt in top mounts? as i noticed the top mounts starting to lift a little on the inside of the mount

also i have no inner arch liner on the front driver side wheel how much are these new? as i am going to ring Renault tomorrow

Looks nice. Turinis make it IMO.

nice mate ! Look better with cup pack wheels tho imo .

 

[welshname]

Get them Turini's done in black and it will look amazing.

 

[Knuckles]

Turini win

But race land coilovers over ktr ones mate... Race land coilovers are the same as ktecs just rebranded, and cheaper

Nice looking Saxo ... I do love those s**t boxes

black makes them look too 'normal'/cheap... Bright silver or white ftw.

it was a 160bhp s**t box thought! the turini's used to be black when it was owned by a lad on here link to pics of when it was lowered:

I wasn't griefing it lol, I genuinely love saxos... It always pains me to see the stereotypical ones around

I bet it was rapid! My mate has a 120(approx) bhp vtr and that thing goes like s**t off a stick, I want it so much

 

[readie]

it did go well! lol showed up a few cars in its time and i know the main reason i sold it was people look at you like the biggest chav in the world because you drive a Saxo like you go drifting in Tesco carpark on a Sunday just because you drive a saxo! lol the clio gets better looks

 

[Brookie.]

James' car! (Aluco).

Only just found out he sold it. It's a great car mate!

Edit: I had my Turini's in Anthracite when I owned mine, I thought it looked good with Inferno!

 

[Adamm.]

infernos with dark wheels are win. clean looking car you got there too mate.

 

[Knuckles]

 

[readie]

WOW! i like that a lot i need to get a set of spare wheels so i can redo mine! lol i am going to get a set of normal cup wheels i think! and use them for winters and redo the turini

and yes it used to belong to james before that it belonged to tom(rabbit21)

but black or anth?

 

[Knuckles]

Anth. Black looks tacky

 

[Knuckles]

Got air?

What was this lowered on? Looks like a perfect ride height to me

It was on Sportlines mate!

 

[markhinton]

It was on Sportlines mate!

Thought it would have been, I sold mine before I even got a chance to put them on - big mistake!

OP: loving the inferno, have a real soft spot for these colours!

 

[readie]

it does look a very nice height! i am loving not having a stiff lowered car atm im sure the bug will bite soon enough!

That's the advantage of Sportlines mate. The same ride comfort as the standard Cup Springs, however giving a nice subtle drop and better handling in the corners.

This thread makes me want an inferno so bad.

 

[Aluco]

Hope you enjoy it :rasp: Just bought myself a corsa CDTi haha. So slow

haha i am loving it mate! cant stop looking at it! cleans up so well!

 

[Mr Sexman]

Nice car uve got there buddy, welcome to the inferno crew.

It is a nice colour when cleaned up and the sun isout.

 

[readie]

indeed when i got it yesterday gave it a good clean over and it looked so good!

and cheers i have not seen many this colour around where i live! there is a meg sport on my road in this colour though!

 

[Munson]

Hero colour. Like LY but for men.

 

[Aluco]

Only other inferno clio I've seen on the road is Brookies!

Riding around on the dribble of torque in my 1.3 derv corsa is sadly not the same as going past 5k in the clio

its being enjoyed i promise! lol having a really good time with it i cant stop smiling its been nearly a week now! lol

needs a few little bits doing just for my piece of mind it needs new washer jets as one works and one does not the one that does is a little irregular!
getting quotes currently to fix the little scratch on the bumper and small dent on the bonnet more because i see it every time and no one else has even noticed it!
and finally the exhaust clamp is blowing on it again! which is a pain going to take it to my garage and get it fixed and we are sorted!

coilovers and a decat then i am happy!

 

[Brookie.]

Saw you driving through Leeds on Friday mate.

Looked great!

 

[jenic]

Awesome car

Makes me sad to see all people who bought their clios at the same time as me have sold them, ie Brookie and James

[jenic]

I hope so, TOPO4 reunion then

 

[readie]

i cant believe you seen me what car were you in? should of grabbed me and had a chat lol was prob dropping the mrs off

 

[readie]

just a quick update

since i bought the car its had a few little things done just mainly loving driving it! some 6k bulbs and a new lambda is as far as it has gone!

although the clio fever has spread to my brother who bought a 172 at the beginning of the month!

next its a new splitter from skoda then lowering i think as the last bits of my old saxo sell off it frees up alot of funds i have tied up so i can spend on the clio

a few pictures:

testing a new wax (petes 50/50 first and only coat it got before the rain began)
gave me chance for a beading shot:

and finally mine with my brothers:

UPDATE

Not a big one though just to say I have ordered my exhaust mounts from prima racing hopefully they will solve the squeaking from the exhaust I Think I am going to order the vibratechnics engine mounts aswell come payday
