just got the new clio..

[ben_p]

Its quick but tbh i was expecting more! Its no way 230 hp! I'm defo going to high comp it, get the head done proper, sort the SHOCKING rad and its fixings :dead: and fit 422s

It needs a good few quid spending on it,

So far i found out it needs..

Pads
Brakes bleeding
tyres
engine mounts
tracking
suspension needs sorting
clutch seems week
bit of rust on archs
exhaust is shite


Ahh why do i buy these things! Will get some pics up soon!

[.GAZ.]

Ahh, what you think?

Pretty darn fast mate.. my cup never stood a chance against it!

needed tidied up when he sold it iirc..

Shoots some good flames too

 

[ben_p]

tbh why people dont just change the rad for the sake of £300-£400 quid!, the OEM one is tilted forward, has a bent bracket drilled in the slam panel and its rubbing on the filter.

I think a few owners have been doing a bit of DIY along the way too, the wiring has been messed with (dodgy joints, earths to the water stat lol etc)
