Huge claims, huge bhp, apparent trophy 172, gumtree special

[GrahamS]

Someone on the renault uk facebook group posted this as a cheap trophy. FACEPALM

Claims it's number number 398 on the register but that doesn't ring true.

It's even registered as an exclusive

Fast.

 

[Addicted]

Cringeworthy.

No such thing as buddy club coil overs for a clio.

Looks a good buy tho?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Im not aware of buddie club doing coilovers for a 172, or HKS doing cams for them, forged crank would cost more than he is selling the car for too.

I quite literally dont believe a single word of the advert except that the wheels are green.

 

[-D4N-]

High quality car right there

 

[tom172cup]

I text him about it and the bloke is clearly a tosser.

 

[JD]

He had me at "decked"...

 

[Chip-mk1]

"Swansea"
"Gumtree"
"Clio"

Those 3 words combined should tell you all you need to know TBH.

 

[C8DGY]

Lol I actually thought if the paper work as there from K-Tec for the build etc it would have been a decent enough buy? Even tho the adds shocking and he may seem a bit of a plum.

If it had what he is saying it has, it would have at LEAST 20 grand in bills!

Green wheels make things faster.

Someone text him and screen shot the convo, I need a laugh

" Seriously this car is not for the faint hearted and surprises Vxr,s "

Sold!!!

 

[Scotty-boi]

His car eats other cars :s

 

[Mr R.]

What a sheep shagging bell end.

 

[172Ben]

His 240bhp claim is based on it beating a vxr, which are about 240bhp?

I'm loving the logic

A 250cc sports motorbike must be at least 500bhp then.

 

[172Ben]

LOL! Exactly that, I love this logic! Saves me money!

 

[C8DGY]

His Kate bill was 1100 for forging and belt change lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

His Kate bill was 1100 for forging and belt change lol

Lol, I suspect he needs to learn to read, PLEASE someone try and get a scan of that bill, showing the forged crank etc no it for 1100 quid, lol.

sounds like the only thing "forged" is the service history paperwork!

 

[JD]

It must have 240 or more because it beats VXRs, apparently. I've asked more and shown genuine interest if it's 240, regardless of the rest.

Did you ask him what make of bodies and what engine management it has?

Presumably Jenveys as you will really struggle to see 240+ on the AT Powers that a lot of people use on the clios.

 

[C8DGY]

I'm getting a scan of receipt when his misses is home.

Coil overs are V max too

 

[172Ben]

Where did he get buddy club from? Lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Buddy club and Vmax are the same brand mate, its only the stickers that are different, just like renault and ferrari.
A Clio mk3 is actually the same car as a 458 other than the badge, thats why the engines are a straight swap.

Just an induction kit, no ITBs Chip!

He's getting angry now.

No its not an induction kit, he has his terms wrong mate, someone needs to explains that the 4 individual throttles behind the sausage filter on long trumpets that his car MUST have to make that power, isnt called an induction kit.

 

[Mr R.]

Im thinking that there is no sausage.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Im thinking that there is no sausage.

Well there is either a sausage, or a lot of porkies.

Interesting didn't know that

 

[Jaff.]

Lives in Swansea eh?

Tempted to to go for a gander!

 

[Mr R.]

Every day is a school day.

 

[JD]

He's getting very angry now. R1s apparently? Using your knowledge here, Chip, but I'm sat in a very boring conference call, so have the time today.

 

[Jaff.]

Lol he's actually around the corner from my parents

 

[Chip-mk1]

Flol @ everyone harassing him.

All the people on the telly who keep saying bullying is a bad thing are clearly not observing the right bullying!

 

[Mr R.]

Have you told him it's not a Trophy?

That ill make him spit bullets.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Not a trophy?

I dont see what you mean?

Ok so its a few years before they made them and its the wrong colour, but presumably thats because this is a development prototype, essentially "trophy number 0"

Nope, have now.

The coilovers were imported and built specially for the car...
