Fun times in the land of Repair (Clio Phase 1 Yellow)
- Thread starter StarWez

Found the culprit.
Previous owner had a cowley exhaust put on,
the people that put it on ripped apart the lambda sensor and put it together again with cable tie. the plug and entire thing are fucked.
getting it re-wired.
So now that we sorted that out,
Put a RSTuning pops and bangs map on and a new straight pipe exhaust with 1 silencer.
Getting some new rims for the car soon and then finally some new images

So mechanically the car is sweet as f**k now.
Following stuff done in the past 5000km
Dephaser n water pump
Injectors
Spark plugs
Fuel rails
New clutch
New gearbox
Rebuilt most of engine
Fuel pump
And have finally moved on to exterior, polished the paint and renewed the headlights
The bonnet and side panels were as the colour in first pic.
And second pic is end result.
Got some chips and dents to fix, new rims and tyres coming in a week or two along with some eibach springs. And colour coding the handles and black bump trims.
Once that's done interior to do.

So after a lot of uphill the car is nearly where i want it 
Just did the drive shaft, Gearbox mount, Shock top mounts, tie rod ends,
Phase 1 dampers, new wiper blades, New Eibach springs all around,
Stainless steel straight exhaust, which i will likely add another silencer too
Pops and bangs map with local RSTuning guys, which will probably go back to a normal RST map
The small things i still want to do
New rim's (these came with the car, and they are disgusting)
New brakes and brake lines,
Fix AirCon,
Remove dents.
But at the moment i am happy, the car is an absolute blase to drive again
This is all thanks to @Kev@KAM of course, Great service, Great pricing, and so happy i found someone reliable to send me good's into South Africa

Glad to be of service
Did the pops and bangs map just get annoying?
I've always felt the car needs a mid silencer otherwise it gives you a proper headache. It could be I'm just not young anymore though.

I am going to put in a silencer first before removing the map, but at the moment its insanely loud.
It was fun the first couple days, and its still fun going through tunnels on the way home.
But droning on the commute to work
