[Paul172sport]

Recently picked this up after 6 months searching for the right one.
2 owners full main dealer history. Impeccabley kept.
Makes nice addition to the sunflower. Plan is to sorn the Clio till I can start a full refresh project.

Looks a nice one.

Really nice these

 

[Goodj]

oil burner or petrol?

nice.

 

[Paul172sport]

Petrol. Couldn't do a derv don't do the miles to justify one.
It's been owned by couple guys from briskoda who both really looked after it.
Feels fast not as involving to drive as the Ph1 but different kind of fun.

 

[imprezaworks]

How much if you don't mind me asking

 

[Goodj]

You'll probably be going a good chunk quicker without feeling any of it

 

[ForceIndia]

Nice, had mine for a year now, very good daily. Few light mods really improve them

 

[Paul172sport]

Yeah 30 feels so slow in it.
Biggest difference being the fly by wire accelerator vs the cable in the Clio. Definitely prefer the feel of the cable.
Going to try leave standard for long as I can. More money to save to refresh the Clio.
Right now money needed to go towards my garage build so somewhere nice to keep them both

@ForceIndia what mods you done to yours. What would you suggest..... if I start to play.
Have you lowered yours at all?

Remap, rear Anto roll bar, anti lift kit. Haven't lowered it, will eventually fit the bilstein b12 kit.

Whereabouts are you based?

 

[Paul172sport]

@ForceIndia what remap do you have?
Wheels look great.

I'm in Hampshire

I'm in Windsor, and I'm regularly in Andover if you fancy a go in it? Shark remap, they seem to be the most highly thought of. But I don't think you'd go wrong with revo, Apr etc.

When my old RS6 was in for works @ AMD game me one of these for a loner.

It had covered a hard 120k, had a exhaust, filter and remap.

I really enjoyed it, still felt good considering the mileage and abuse lol.

Short update for tonight... will definitely try get better pics over weekend.

Vrs. First impressions love it. Great. Daily and ticks all the boxes a 'dad's' car needs too. Clio was simply being outgrown.
I've had the Octavia serviced, needed new plugs and a coil too but nothing unexpected.
It's a stage 1 Revo map on it and for peace of mind I've had this health checked by the local Revo agent.
Only downside..... fuel... she's likes a drink!

Clio... well sad day... the insurance runs out tonight so fire and theft only for a period of time. I just can't face selling it.
So plans once my garage is built to start a OEM refurb and put it back to it's youth.

Slow updates will follow.....
