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 ;)

He means it's a 1.2/1.4 wheel

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.
 
had some bits turn up today, brembo front hc disks, renault rear disks and pads, renault standard front pads.

doing braided lines next week and fluid change

Will be painting the calipers tomorrow so more pics on their way.

hopefully get the wheels powdercoated this month, either st orange or kawazaki green
