new car....

[skatedemonuk]

after experiencing lots of trouble with the 182 and a small incident involving a deer then a cat i decided it was time to get a new car wanted something abit faster and had also developed the boost bug spent a while looking at R26's but decided to steer clear of renault so decided upon this haters gunna hate but i love it

the clio

the new toy

 

[R20 CWH]

Go well once fiddled with, presumably this is already on the cards?

 

[skatedemonuk]

yer its already on the cards its already got a dump valve for enjoyment , would like to get it remaped new exhaust maybe a bigger intercooler

 

[leeds_182]

Nice cars but would not be my colour of choice.

 

[Gaz.]

Nice step up from the Clio dude.

 

[DynamoDave]

Had an orange st3. Eibach springs, exhaust from turbo back with decat, remap and filter and it was a great car!

Just needed the intercooler to finish it off.

The noise was fantastic and was great fun to drive and quick for what it was!

I went from a 3 MPS to it and the focus was miles better to drive.

 

[skatedemonuk]

it is a nice step up from the clio feels loads better quality and also pulls throught the gears alot better

Colorado red is lovely in the flesh.

Car needs a little bit of messing with.

New plates, remove the stripes and keep it tidy.

Good choice, hope you don't miss the chuckability of the clio too much.

Boost FTW

 

[skatedemonuk]

i agree think a new rear plate is a definate i do miss the chuckability but that is soon replaced with a massive grin during boost

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice .

 

[JD]

I like the colour, I don't like the stripes. But a great upgrade never the less

What sort of price are these commanding nowadays?

 

[skatedemonuk]

i picked mine up for 9500 with 32000 miles on clock

Nice. What are the standard figures for these? I shot past a standard looking one on a dc duel. No doubt very very easy to get power from though?

 

[Gaz.]

About 220-230bhp standard I think Tom, but I imagine there's a bit of lard in that chassis.

 

[skatedemonuk]

they run 225 as standard very easy to get them to 270-300

 

[mr bognor]

About 220-230bhp standard I think Tom, but I imagine there's a bit of lard in that chassis.

Nice Not keen on the colour.

Someone went head on into my friends ST2 this morning Held up well considering! He only had it 3 weeks.

 

[_Tom]

Nice! Whats the limits of the standard tubby?

 

[Poopensharten]

stickers dont suit it, black 18" pro race 1.2's however make colarado red look like a facking heros chariot.

 

[skatedemonuk]

better picture i would love to start messing with it but recently lost my job so no funds for fettling

 

[skatedemonuk]

cheers for previous comments

 

[Sarah]

Lovely

Quicker round bedford than a tropghy iirc...

 

[Hixle]

Best colour for the ST's imo, looks great minus the stickers

 

[fUbAr]

Nice, like these. Grey for me though, please.

 

[JoeyD]

Nice, like these. Grey for me though, please.

+1 Sea Grey's mint!

Looks great though. Definitely on my 'to own' list, mainly for the engine!

They're about 222hp standard, 270ish is attainable from a remap. Standard Exhaust pops like a b*tch too!

 

[keo]

realy nice mate i like the red would be my first choice if i was to get one. I like boost but i think i would miss the chuckability of the clio

 

[skatedemonuk]

erm chuckability is good but drive this in a morning with cold engine windows down and giggle like a skool girl with every pop and bang

 

[DrewBear11]

How are you finding the handling compared with the clio mate ? Does it seem much quicker ?

[Ian_182]

^^^thats lovely...

 

[skatedemonuk]

haha that is lovely seen it on the focusstoc forum. it feels much faster the clio in a straight line then in corners is same as any car really as to how brave/stupid the driver is
