Yeah it was a p/x so steve now has my old pimp golf. Thanks for all the good comments but cant help to remind its steves creation. I love it though

No probs tom! lol Gotta love the 2.0l power! I know i do

Winston - Yeah id love to get a widetrack on it but really dont know where would do it for me. Really wanna get it done though!

Any garage can do it your looking at about £1k with coilover to do it though.

Its not a huge job just difficult if any of the bolts dont want to come off.

Thats the thing, i wouldnt really wanna spend 1k just to get it done. Would rather get cams and buckets.

The willy track is deffo on my list though. Might phone Renatec and see what they would charge.....

steve a · Aug 22, 2005

Glad your happy with it tom was a shame to see it go

. Also get the decat pipe back on there, it pulls better top end. And give it a try with the 15s

Decat was back on there within 30mins of getting it home. My mate opened his garage up and did it for me!

Ill try the 15s. Spins enough on the 16s! lol

When i test drove this car it didnt feel as quick as it seems to now. Must have been because it was on a d/c and quite open. The pick up in second is rather fun!

Left a Vts for dead last night

*CLIO16V* · Aug 22, 2005

steve a · Aug 22, 2005

TriO` · Aug 22, 2005

What a beauty

.. and as for the engine bay

What engine work has been done for this power. I assume its already got uprated cams, howcomes youre upgrading ??

_Tom · Aug 22, 2005

Nah it hasnt at the mo

Its just got a chip, filter, decat, exhaust, leads ect

Steve will confirm the power it made no doubt. She really does fly. TomS will confirm this!

[Edited by jay s on 21 August 2005 at 8:29pm]

about 162bhp

generally times the wheels figures by 1.21 seems to be an average for valvers
