Updates of my ride

 

[powey]

Looks good, any plans for it?

 

[scandezz]

Thank you powey, am still looking into the upgrades. In meantime, ill start with the smaller projects first

These are the things that i changed/modded so far

1) DMS ECU reflash
2) Decat on exhaust
3) Custom Y pipe from a Porsche GT3 Custom Exhaust
4) Powder Coating for Engine Block
5) Powder Coating for Exhaust
6) OMP Steering Wheel
7) MGL Forged 17" wheels with Toyo 888s
8) NGK Spark Plugs Iridium

But i have some problems erasing the error msg on my dashboard after changing the steering wheel. The Airbag check light is on

 

[jams]

Very nice! How do you find the steering wheel with it having quite a big dish?

 

[172cupwizard]

Nice, prefer original wheels

 

[Tony Hunter]

Nice,I used to live in Singapore many moons ago.

 

[Dave..]

Christ, bet that exhaust isn't quiet.

Looks good though, love the colour!

 

[Paul.]

looks 100% better on the standard rims in my opinion. Lovely car though

Hiya, yea its sucked initially, and ive gotten used to it after awhile.Its just that the Airbag checklight is kinda irritating on the dashboard display.

 

[scandezz]

Nice, prefer original wheels

I know
i liked the originals too, but these rims were much lighter. Only doing at 7+ kg each.

I will be refurbishing it to matt black colour soon.

hope that will help.

Cheers

Thanks, and it's really noisy as u expected. Definetely way off 98 dbs

i tried a few types of custom exhaust, and realised this is the best with not much lost on mid torque and a thunderous sound.

Hated the weather, the heat is not helpful to our engines

Cool welcome to the site mate, I also used to live in singapore, in Upper Thomson to be exact! Cant imagine how much an R27 costs out there! I'm assuming the singaporean government still have the most ridiculous car tax laws?

 

[Ben]

Looks lovely that

Keep it up.

Heyy, yea ..its crazy..
cost me about 50k euros?

 

[powey]

I think the general majority on here avoid decats on a 197 as they dont run right and get flat spots

 

[scandezz]

Yea, i tried a few types of applications before i got rid of the flatspot

BTW, i finally sprayed the ugly wheels to black!!

Woohoo

 

[scandezz]

what do you guys think of the orange design?
Thought it looked like the porsche GT3 RS design?

Hehe

 

[Liambo-235]

I love white R27's with decals.

Nice motor, better looking with the wheels black but still prefer the originals! Lowered?

 

[chappo]

good to see you have done the wheels black, looks loads better mate,

not keen on the orange tbh, ( different tho ).

 

[Nik.g]

yo dude i cant believe u got a clio in Singapore..?? Nice really like it..! was born in Singapore and lived there for 16 years.. lol.. Only used to see civics and evos around back then.. Nice tho.. Like it in the GT3 orange..

 

[kevo66]

Hello mate, looks good!!

 

[Addz]

looks lurvely! cant believe the price though! 50k euro's for a clio!

Hi Liambo, yea next is to get it lowered.

Hi Nik, its still Civc and Evos till date..Clios are like super rare over here. Only 2 in Singapore. But its hard to buy/sell parts over here. Thats sucks

Think the orange is a little extreme. Either ppl likes it or hates it. hehe

 

[Nik.g]

I know i was really suprised when i saw ur thread.. I thought you were joking for a while.. So where do u live in Singapore then? I used to live in Aljuned Road near Serangoon.. Loving the car though and looks good on white anyway..

 

[scandezz]

yea, i know what u mean.. think there are more bentleys than clios..lol.
I am living near Holland Village Thanks for your comments.

 

[Jason_E]

I like what your doing here! Everything for performance really. Didn't know they sold Renaults over there, or is it an import?

 

[GazM]

wheels look much better, white looks great

 

[scandezz]

Thanks for kind comments, yea. im more to a performance freak. They have renaults over here but its just overpriced, hence not many would choose Clios in Singapore. For the same price, i can easily buy an Mitsubishi Evo X. But i prefer to be different.

I did a video for the exhaust note, but im wondering if i can upload from here.

 

[Gally]

Looks great mate, i'm sure it's super rare.

Love the exhaust and blacked out spoiler.

Do your diffuser black also.
