'bout time i started a thread in here.
Picked this little beauty up a couple of months ago.
Spotted her on Ebay and went and did a deal before the auction ended.
2001 Y plate Mk2 Ph1, 94000 miles with full history and the belt change less than 20,000 miles before.
Body wise she is absolutely mint and the best bit and what attracted me to the car was the colour, from what ive researched only approx 60 were made in the Mk1 in this colour?..
Anyway he she is as i collected her.
Essentially stock bar a stainless discreet system ala original in looks but whoever had it fitted decided that they only wanted one silencer!, now being 37 yrs young after the drive back to Sussex from Essex was enough to tell me that this was not going to last long with the volume it was making!.
Bought myself one of these for 45 quid...
and cut the system where the front box should be and fitted it in, ahh much better..
Next up i decided that the stock rear suspension had a slight clonk from the offside so i was looking at a new set of shocks and possibly KTR coilover kit, didn't want this car to be big budget as i just sold my Impreza STI RA to save money along with buying a Diesel.
Anyhow after a scount on Ebay to see what coilies were available for the Clio these turned up a week later!
Full TUV certificated up and the ride quality is great, having had cars with Koni,FK Konigsport & Tein coilovers along with other cars with other various top end suspension set ups these things are ridiculously good value for money! - they owe me 163 quid
...
Anyhow after i fitted them the Ickle Clio looked like this...
And yes i did fit them in the freezing cold!..
So car was driving like a dream now but i was desperate for a set of Turini's, yes i know not the most adventurous set of wheels for the Clio but i wanted a lightweight set of rims as im intending on going back out to the Ring again and taking the Clio with me this year..
Spotted these beautys in the classifieds on here and jumped on them.
I love Anthracite!
So whadya reckon??
Cheers Pete.
