Its been a while...........

[lucky]

Hi all,

I have hardly been on here the last 6 months, mainly as ive been debating to keep the car or not (I may still sell if i get PM'd the right price ). Ive been looking at jap turbo stuff and german saloons etc but nothin feels quite right compared to the MIGHTY clio. So i've decided to keep the car and plough even more money into it, hopefully getting everything sorted before FCS07. In brief, there will be better brakes, some nice colour coding/detailing, a funky air intake, possibly a colour change and even the word.......nitrous.......was mentioned.

Anyway here's a couple of pics.

Cheers

Carl.

looks mean mate, cant wait to see it in the flesh at fcs!!

 

[AlexClio]

i saw you driving through mcdonalds in rhyope, love ur car , its an absoloute animal, sounds amazing, if i had the money id buy it. would love to see it up close, you out driving any nights this week?

 

[DebV6]

Looks really nice

 

[Adamhodg]

That looks mint!
Love it! :approve:

 

[lucky]

Thx, im at work on nights this week so i doubt it. Is yours the Monaco Blue from around the street by any chance lol?

Here's another pic i found, all were taken after a long deserved wash and polish.

 

[lucky]

Thanks all

 

[AlexClio]

i wish lol, iv got a 1.2 16v at the minute, bit of a shed lol, im after a 172 soon if i can afford the insurance.what you got under the bonnet, sounded amazing when you drove off

 

[James.]

throttle boddies

 

[lucky]

Yea lol i think i remember now. Its had a fortune spent 'Under Bonnet'.

Jenvey Throttle bodies
AWT cams
Inlet modified and matched
Larger injectors
OMEX 600 ECU
182 Exhaust Manifold
De-cat stainless 'stealth' exhaust system

think thats about it, car is roughly 220Bhp.

The reason i asked about your car is because round the street from me there is a 1.2 what is more or less the same colour as mine, with black wheels etc........

LOL i cant help but feel my car had a little influence into his choices.

 

[AlexClio]

lol it is amazing. iv got the lighter blue colour, its got a scorpion full system, panel filter, and a nice sound system, thats about it. just saving for my next car, i fancied a VTR but then got obsessed with the monaco blue 172's lol.would love tb's and everything but its guna cost.

 

[lucky]

Well a Monaco 172 would be good choice for a next car mate, just keep saving.........

 

[AlexClio]

il try, if i can get the part time job im after i can pay for one on finance then sell my car to pay for insurance, fancy a monaco blue 172 with speedlines, lowered on eibachs, recessed exhaust system, 182 manifold, maxogen, tinted, front splitter, put my stereo in it, cams, remap and then consider tb's , so its not a lot lol.

 

[Ali]

Yeh, nice car. Quick too.

 

[lucky]

HaHa just a few bits and bobs then, go for it!

 

[lucky]

Yeh, nice car. Quick too.

Cheers pal, I've PM'd emma about FCS.

 

[TheJesus]

long time no see mate, you coming on the GDI stand at FSC then?

oh, do you need a flexible stainless braided hose fabricating for your PAS line? if so PM me as I had one made and it's spot on

 

[MarkM]

Im liking the new look. I have got white pro race2's on mine but the black looks way better.

Glad to here the car is running well. Have you changed the interior?

Have you done anymore 1/4 miles in it?

You know keeping the clio makes sense

 

[lucky]

Not sure if Andy wants my car on stand again as im old news now lol. My PAS pipe now has a 'technical' bend in it, it then wore a hole through but i welded it up lol.

Mark the interior:

Im going to york soon before i start messing on with the car just to find out where its at in terms of SQM times. Then we'll go from there......

 

[lucky]

Damn that Reg Vardy sticker

 

[S Garbett]

Did you have this featured in PGTI mag??

I looks Mint!

Steve

 

[lucky]

Yes i think it was featured Mar/Apr 06 PGTi. Nice Feature but some inaccuracies from the journalist lol. Excellent day tho, despite being cold.

Yes it was just checked

 

[Christopher]

awesome car.

you've not been on for ages fella! i remember those vids you posted up...sounded sexual!

 

[Tyson-182]

Animal...Love this car!

Tys.

 

[Martin]

Welcome back fella hope to see you at york/pod sometime, yours should shift a bit now it's fully stripped!

 

[lucky]

Cheers matey, should be at York Easter weekend i think, thats if its on as i havent checked yet.

 

[Alan]

Ace matey....looks rather quick!!

 

[lucky]

'tis laddy 'tis. I have an old speedo vid somewhere on disc when i was in Germany with friends. If i can find it i'll post it............

Sure he would mate, I'll have a word with him if you want.

Right, well if you want one making up I'll get Andy to get a pic of mine while it's in as it's flexible and basically wont ever break as it's too heavy duty lol. Beauty of it is that it cost me less than £50 iirc

 

[lucky]

I've received an PM from GDI team about FCS07 mate so see what happens...............

I'm really only planning to spend money on 'performance' enhancing products but if there's a spare 50 quid knocking about i'll let you know mate.

 

[TheJesus]

well you should do, would be the fastest stand at FCS I reckon lol

yeah see where you are coming from, but it's a worthwhile solution if it keeps splitting, it's a proper hydraulic fluid line, I'll get you some pics.

 

[lucky]

^^^^ K bud, i might have CS tracktime now as well. Are you on with CS did you say? Im on CS and williamsclio.

 

[TheJesus]

not on either tracktime so far, will do the Williams one if I can though, would be interesting to compare... I'll need to reduce the weight out of mine though I think!

 

[Millsy]

looks mean mate, cant wait to see it in the flesh at fcs!!

yeah me neither, absolutely gorgeus colour and every other monaco blue i have seen with black wheels looks cack but that...... well, pure sex!!

 

[lucky]

TheJesus you shouldnt need to save weight that much with 240Bhp.....lol

Thx for comments all again.

 

[TheJesus]

TheJesus you shouldnt need to save weight that much with 240Bhp.....lol

Thx for comments all again.

true, I think it's more like 220bhp though for the mods, different RR's different results though, that was at Ric Wood... I'll strip it just in case! Well, by strip I mean remove back seats and spare! lol

 

[MarkM]

looking good

lose the stereo though saves a bit of weight and you dont need music when you have ITBs

 

[sophia]

awsome car!! good choice not selling it! imm so jelous ...

 

[Ali]

Yeh, nice car. Quick too.

Cheers pal, I've PM'd emma about FCS.

Nae bother.

Forgot you had turini's before.............get them bak on!

 

[tommyboy]
