I 'HartZ' My Clio SportZ - Progress



  BG 182
Ok so Ive on here for a good number of years now and have never started one of these so its about time I pulled my finger out and show you all what I have worked on.

September 2007: Pearl Black FF172
This is where it all began for me, i purchased my first renault sport and absolutely loved it, having owned it for 2 years i spent quite a bit of money on it as, yes, I was in love.

Main spec included:
Anthracite speedline turini's
KW variant 2 coilovers
Simota enclosed induction kit

Unfortunately all of my pictures from when I purchased the car were on my old laptop and that was stolen last year, DOH! Anywho, here are some of the later pictures after the mods were finalised, and this is what she looked like just before I sold her...

The 172 made room for the next RS chapter, welcome.....

October 2009: Glacier White 197 (non-cup)
Completely standard, FRSH, 11k on the clock and 197hp's of pure entertainment!

I owned the car for arouns 12 months which took me through to December 2010, unfortunately the time came to sell up as I lost my job. Gutted was not the word, I was jobless, and went from owning the best car I have ever had, to cycling around on a bicycle looking for work.

January 2011: New Job and saving £££
From January to March this year I managed to find a great job and started to save up some money for another car, after 2 horrible months of working long hours and cycling 16 miles every day I finally made enough money to put a healthy deposit down on this.. Enter 3rd Renault Sport clio...

March 2011: Black Gold 182 (non-cup packs)
So on saturday 26th march I finally picked it up! It had 48k on the clock, FRSH, both belts done and in completely mint condition for a 6 year old motor.

Here she is:

Looking forward to keeping this car for the next couple of years, hope you enjoyed reading my thread, will update as and when I new editions are added!

Good work mate, testimony to how good Renault Sport Clios really are!

FYI - the standard 182 wheels look guff in white, go with the 2118's..
 
  BG 182
Thanks Danny, would definately prefer the 2118's but some serious saving would be on the cards for those babies

Don't do them white, they'll look awful.

Spend the money on a Cup splitter and spoiler instead.

Small Update:

Silver visions fitted both ends
RS Mats fitted
Rear strut brace fitted

Looking at getting some coilovers and 2118's in the next couple of months, will get some pictures up during the week

Lovely cars mate. Shame you had to give up the 197 :(

Although, you've done well to get back into a 182.

Played dude :)
 
Bad times about losing your job mate. But well in with the dedication and getting back on your feet again.

Love your old 172. Looks fantastic tbh.
Still not sure on 197's though, just something about them.
182 looks good though. Mk2 Clios were the best looking imo.

1. Silver visions fotted both ends
2. RS Mats fitted

Nice bud, well done on pushing yourself. Ditto on the dash strips, more pics please!!!
Does the strut brace make much difference?
 
  BG 182
Thanks bud, strut brace made a slight difference on the back end i would say! Ill post more pictures when the coileys are fitted in the next couple of weeks :)

nice car and cars was it a step down from your 197 or not? as mentioned above great dedication with the push bike :)
 
  BG 182
Thanks mate, i actually prefer the 182, the 197 was amazing dont get me wrong and i loved having the 6th gear! Prefer the looks and handling of the latest edition
