My 3rd RS Clio. This time its a Ph1.

So as you've probably guessed by now I'm no stranger to the Clio Sports.

I was browsing good old autotrader the other day for my next motor, thinking I wouldnt find a reasonable example for under £2000. Anyway found one for sale at a local used car garage and went for a look.

The car was fairly dirty and hadnt had a valet for a long time, but the car did have full comprehensive history and its only just done over 80k. So along with a few issues I managed to nock some pennies off the asking price. £500 to be exact :D. Oh and I even managed to get 6 months TAX and a fresh MOT.


So this week I have been rather busy cleaning and sorting out the faults.

Things Ive done this week, fix the front fog lights (connector issue), sorted out the headlight haze using wet n dry, fit a Ktec stealth system, fix the central locking, fix the wing mirrors and give it a blinking good clean inside and out. Oh and I have got new disks and pads coming next week and hopefully a new grill from Cliospares.

Not bad for £700 notes.

That's not the original wheel, it looks like a standard one?

For £700 though, that's ridiculous!! :approve:

Is the Ph1 RS wheel a different shape? I have retrimmed a couple in the past and Im sure their the same shape. But yeah its fairly easy to BS a sales man when a car has quite a few problems. Plus with being in the motor trade I can speak the jargon ;)

A totally different car in my experience, they do seem more eager as standard than the ph2, but I think that's the cable throttle.

Seems to have more Mid range torque and power, where my 182's have always been 5k plus before it gets going.
