Lil Smurf, Daily Driven OEM+

[CardexWolfox]

Hello! im new to the forum (been here for a while tho, this is my first post)

i wanted to show you all my 2004 1.4 16v Clio me and some mates out in a Renault Workshop are working on

This is my first car, my mom bought it for me when i was 22, im 27 now. Im from Caracas, Venezuela. Its also my daily driver

We just started to putting in some heavy modifications to it and its looking now like a proper thing!

Some of the mods we've done so far are:
- Powerflex Dogbone and Rear exhaust mount.
- Eibach Prolines with the stock dampers.
- Short Shift kit from ebay.
- Ported Heads.
- Unlocked ECU with a slight repro, 7500rpm Redline. (i know, not worth it but it does sounds good. still not definitive, is temporal)
- Scenic rear disks, mounts and calipers (i know, i also lost abs, not really something that bothers me, Where i live there are no regulations at all)
- Front Scenic Axle mounts, Disks and Calipers.
- 15 inch x 7 Inch unbranded wheels on 195/50/r15 General Max Tires.
- 2 inch custom exhaust, decat and with a Flowmaster 60 series muffler.
- K&N i57 gen 1

So far that's it, Still a lot more to be done to it. Next year we are salvaging an F4R from a Laguna and pairing it with a megasquirt to see some good power gains.

Not looking for 172/182 power numbers but nothing that a good reenforce and a turbo cant solve if i ever feel the need for speed.

Here are some pics throughout the last 2 years. From oldest on my phone to the most recent.

Welcome! Can you see anything through those tints at night!?

Good work, Jesus those tints are dark! I like seeing people play with parts from other models to make upgrades like you have done with the scenic bits!

at first it was horrid, but i got used to. Here in Venezuela they're no regulations on how dark tints can go. And people normally put them as dark as possible for their sight due to crime rates and privacy

some even Armor their dailies. But i think that's paranoia

thank you so much!
When is not posible to salvage the rear end of a propper sport, is not a bad idea to think in a solution like that!

I think some spacers would really help the stance there, the wheels look a bit lost! Welcome to the forum.

thank you so much for the welcome and the advice.

ive been thinking on some 10mm spacers in the front, since the rear has a problem of rubbing the fender.

maybe rolling it would help

Yes or a bit of negative camber, or a slightly smaller tyre profile might help next time you need some

potholes would kill my back tho.
rn i feel it a bit harsh with the Pro Lines, Maybe some good coilovers might work.

camber maybe is sitting at -0.5° on each wheel.

i really like the spacers idea, but only on the front, and maybe also pick up a lug nut conversion and better lug nuts
