Mk3 Clio Dynamique S Project - midlands - coilovered - MASSIVELY PIC HEAVY!

[Kiefer23]

Oooo. More mk3 owners now on the scene. Brilliant. Do you have a project thread Matt??

Tom/Kieran. I finally tracked down a set of RS 197 front seats in a Norfolk scrappy yesterday. Picked them up and fitted them and I am in love with them! Check my thread

They also gave me the rears in the price I paid for the fronts when I was only quoted for the fronts online so I now have two sets of RS 197 rear seats lol. 1 set is for sale if any of you are interested.

I averaged 42.8mpg on the 300 mile trip in my 1.2 doing 65-75mph most of the way.

 

[mattrose]

Yep gotta love the mk3

I'm interested in the rear seats. PM Me a price

 

[TomGarvie]

Average is around 55mpg that's with town driving too but like a dumbass yesterday, I reset the whole system insead if the trip milage so know it's reconfiguring everything lol. NEWBIE MISTAKES!!

O ok then, well I got my Whole HID kit today also my custom mats are coming too, sp they shall be getting put in the car

Ap shocks? They under warranty still bud?

 

[TomGarvie]

Yep AP shocks dude, both rears leaking nope, I'm a good few months over the 2yr warranty, not a happy bunny but these things happen I guess!

yes lol, it sounded awsome tbh. the guy said take the back boxes out aswell so all it is now is subaru noises and turbo whistle. im suprised tbh .... for a jag derv.

btw got the van engine out.... what a mission and a half.

might need your help when i do dave's 172 in june . ideally need to paint correct and refine it in one day as decon and other bits will take a day tbh.
