My Clio dCi80

[Mehmet]

Hello there... been on the site for a while now and never posted a pic of my car ( well true reason is renault had it for 3 weeks fixing it lol)

Anyway bought this clio as my 1st car... its the dci 80 version... i must say, it is nippier than i expected... beat my friend on his astra 1.6 today lol... so anyway i bought the car and straight away after a day ..went in for repair ... it had engine timing sorted out... wiring solderd.... camshaft sensor...and after all that ... they found out the real problem was it needed 2 injectors lol.. anyway got it sorted ... didnt get them to fit the injectors ... they wanted too much so just got my dad to fit them in and he done the whole thing in 15 mins when renault wanted 1.5 hours of labour ... so anyway finally got the car back and here are some pics...... btw SPECIAL THANKS TO EDDE FOR ALL THE HELP... thanks alot mate... ow you a pint

here are some pics ... let me know what you think .. thanks

Lights are awful.

And your username makes me think of 'Mr Helmet' and this alone makes me chuckle everytime I see it.

not a fan of your rear lights and please dont drive around with your fog lights on . . . unless its foggy.

sounds like you've spent a lot of money to get the car on the road, i hope you enjoy it.

 

[Mehmet]

I am not a big fan off the rear lights either... they just came with the car.. and i do not have originals to replace them with.... i am thinking of tinting them ... anything but not the lexus lights....and my user name is my name...

 

[DrR]

sidelights on with fogs, lol

Good first car that.

TBH mate i wouldnt bother tinting the rear lights. it will look much better if you pick yourself up a standard set and fit them. lexus lights are out of date.

 

[jamesp24]

Get the stock ones back on mate, but you can use a spray i think, saw it on a Hyundai accent the other day GHETTO

 

[kie1an]

nice first car , get the dci remapped though , will piss all over your mates astra all day long ..

 

[Mehmet]

LooL... yeh ill try spray them... because i am thinking of some black rims with tints... if the spray job on the back lights turn out good... then it should like nice...

Changed the tyres today if anyone noticed back is wider than front....185/55/15 in the front and 205/55/15 in the back... just slaped some second hands on till i save the money for some nice deep dish black bbs rims

 

[DrR]

Mehmet? What background is that name from?

 

[Mehmet]

Turkish.... most popular turkish men name.

 

[Savi]

Get LED rear's, i love them! lol

Nice first car though! dont forget to wash it

 

[MikeLYR27]

tyres shouldnt be wider at the back at the back, they should all be the same.

 

[Mehmet]

yeh well its temperary for now untill i get some decent alloys

 

[M8XY G]

your going to get some verbal abuse for those lights from everyone mate

 

[Mehmet]

Yeah mate i know, what kinda stupid previous owner was to put lexus lights ... atleast get it repammed or something

But yeah ... they are going VERY SOON for a pair of standards...then ill get some proper pics of it also ill give it a shot cleaning it

But yeah f**king nippy little cars the dci80's.... pissing on all 1.1,1.2 and most 1.4 and 1.6....the low rev torque... ahh soo nice... then spoiled by the tractor noise lol

 

[Mehmet]

Yeah i know mate... f**king hate them... going to swap them for a pair of standards...

 

[Brett]

Very very wise choice of 1st car mate. I was after a dci 80 but couldnt find one and my 1.2 came up cheap. They're certainly a fair bit faster than 1.2 16v's especially once rolling, and extremely economical.

 

[GarethM]

nice and tidy fella

but as said standard rear lights are the best lights to go for. And no fogs on

 

[Mehmet]

Forgot to mention... its the dynamique (ac) version with the sunroof etc.


lol yeah... i will get a pic once the standards are on and also when i have washed it lol... but yeah .. thinking of remapping the ecu.. isit a wise choice ?

 

[conneh]

Yea its wise, if you put a bigger rad in it.

I think.

I've heard its risky mapping the dci engine, some are ok others are not. I'd leave it mate tbh from what i've heard.

 

[Mehmet]

Ahhh forget it then... ill leave it as it is.... quick enough as my 1st car anyway ...
