Clio sport 172
Hi,
New to all of this I'm afraid so bear with me. I am a very proud owner of a 172 for 18 months called Roxy (sorry, all my cars have had names), I have only heard of this site recently so apologies! I bought Roxy and have gone through a few changes since the purchase, including putting in a new engine since the last one died after she decided to dump all her oil and then lose the will to live on the motorway leading to a very hair raising few minutes to get to a lay by weaving through rush hour traffic! My other half wanted to scrap her but I couldn't and wouldn't let her go, so after a few weeks on the bus to work, and my wonderful fella doing the back breaking work, she was alive again! Sorry, he is the mechanic, I just enjoy driving her!! So I can't claim any of the hardwork other than painting the engine bay and the brake calipers. I'm not mechanically minded but I have learnt a few things from my better half! So here's the list of what she's had done:
Fully rebuilt engine (50k block)
Ported intake t/b to cylinder head
Toyo 4.2.1 exhaust
Manifold, decat
Magnet cat back
RS tuner 98 Ron Map body
All mechanics have been fixed new
MTEC & MANTEX brakes, good ridge braided lines
Solid top mounts
SPAX springs, new standard shock
