My 172 Cup

[rosssei]

So i sold my 1.2 clio, and got a civic VTI-S. Hated it, didnt like having to drive the nuts off it to get it to move anywhere SO.....

Got offered good money for the civic, and wanted something that you didnt need to drive the nuts off for it to go anywhere.

Civic was sold last night, and saw this locally sitting for a while and decided to have a drive/look. Being from a "clio" background i immediately fell in love with it, and it feels so raw and much more like a driver focused car than the civic did

Handling is absolutely superb, brings a grin to your face all the time...and its not as hard on petrol as i first imagined!

Got her a quick wee wash tonight. Plans are for eibach springs (purely for handling), strut braces and thats about it! 110% over the moon with the wee motor!

Here are some pics, and all comments welcome

I'd be inclined to remove the rear flaps...

Looks nice tho, insurance in NI must be a b**ch tho?!

 

[rosssei]

lol especially when your 19 and on your first year in your own name (i.e. no no claims bonus)

looking a 3/4 plate for the front of her, but the one on has the renaultsport logo...looks quite well!

 

[DebV6]

Glad you're pleased with it, looks a stunner!

sort the plates out and it will be a peach, some standard plain plates will look good.
