MY CLIO 172 TRACK CAR

[Greg W]

Hi All

Greg here, I am a new member and so attached some pics of my Clio 172 Track Car

Over £5000 spent on engine, Brakes and Suspension

Incuding a further £2000 on the Interior and Exterior mods

Let me know what you think,

There so much more that i want to do.??

 

[Englebert]

Cool!

 

[Herdie172]

Awsome mate.It looks well fit! This is chris's old car right?

 

[JR]

nice effort. but would it have not been a better idea to buy a cup which is lighter to start with then mod the lump etc ?

 

[Steviant]

Welcome Greg. Looks wicked. What suspension you fitted. Can you get the rear any lower?

You coming to Brands?

Cage next?

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Nice car mate.



Bring it to the RS day at Brands on the 14th of May.

 

[ClioGav]

I love it

 

[Greg W]

Yea Brought it off him back in Feb

Already bought new rear brake discs calippers and Pads

Front and Rear Strut Braces

and designed and applyed the graphics myself

 

[tomhunt85]

Awesome mate, always been a sucker for a track sla*.

 

[RichMcc]

Like that loads! Well done mate :approve:
Those side graphics are spot on!

 

[Greg W]

I have had the rear raised slightly at the min the speed bumps round here are s**t

Will lower it again for the French Car Show in July

This will leave you for dead Justin give us a call when your big enough.....BOB STANDARD

Alright Matt

Might Struggle to get down to Brands for then mate bit of a treck for me

 

[JR]

sorry Greg did not mean to offend, that was certainly not my intention, I was just thinking if you had started with a cup instead of a ff 172 would it have been any quicker than using the ff as a track wepon ?

Not a snide comment in anyway just a genuine question ?

As i said i think the car is very nice, and i cant wait to see it on track.

 

[AmirClio]

Love it!

 

[duncansharp]

Very nice, what mods / spec is it at?

 

[Chris n nic]

Ouch...touched a nerve?

Chris

 

[Greg W]

Im only bantering with ya Justin

Im not a harsh person

The Clio had extensive work on it and stripped down

Its good to be different

 

[Cookie]

I want black Turinis

 

[DebV6]

Cool!

 

[JR]

Fair enough, is that a yozzasport raganoti system i see ?

 

[Nigel]

I don't like the rest of the stickers but the chequers over the bonnet and down the sides look brilliant! Did you say you designed those ones yourself??

 

[Greg W]

Yea It is mate

They did the majority of all the major fabrication and engine work

Chris definatly went to the right people who know what they are doin

As i said theres still more that can be done but as always it costs money and id only go to Yozza

Yea Nigel

Im a designer so i have the resources for free

 

[JR]

what work have you actually had done by andrew and fred then ?

 

[Nigel]

How much would something similar cost if you don't mind me asking.

Hi Fred

I was planning to drop the car down to you later in the Year

Give it the once over and talk about what else we can do to this car

Sweet job to it tho

 

[JR]

have you had it on a RR yet ?

 

[Greg W]

Hi Nigel

Do you have a Paypal account

No not yet

I desperatly want it done tho

 

[Michael172]

holy f**k buckets thats one cool car. just the exterior alone is enough to make me get excited.

this been dyno'd yet ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i think this car with the right driver will show up a lot of these "alleged 200bhp" cars

its one of the quickest non cammed cars we've driven

 

[Greg W]

Thats good to know Fred

Im planning on going to the French Car Show in July

Obviously with you doing the work to the car i dont mind parking next to the Yozza Sport stand to show them what you can do........................

Maybe you could sort me out a bit of discount in the future in return

 

[Nigel]

Hi Nigel

Do you have a Paypal account

Yeah I do mate. It doesn't really get used anymore though. Why?

 

[C.slicker]

Is the back completely stripped out?

 

[Greg W]

Yea the back is stripped our completly and then i added a rear strut brace and boarded and carpeted the base i will set up antoher thred if you wish to see a pic of it

I can sort out the graphics and send them to you in the post if you wish
