Newbie from Pamplona

[JorgeGonz]

Hello everyone!,

My name is Jorge and I'm from the north of Spain, from a village near Pamplona, and I bought 2 years ago a RHD Clio 182.

Funny story about this car is that it has a Cliosport.net sticker on the rear window hahaha. Its plate when it was an UK car was YH04VYV, maybe the owner is still around

I'm also owner of a Renault Kangoo that I hope to have it fully 182 converted, I already have the front subframe, brakes and all those things mounted, and the engine/gearbox and wiring bought haha.
Other cars that I have are an E46 M3 in process of being a tracktool, a pug 205 SR (the ones with Simca engines), a 318is E36 for endurance racing and a Saxo VTS 8V.

Hope to meet more people here
Cheers

Welcome along Sir! I believe quite a few of our RHD cars have made their way to Europe now!

Whats the story with the Saxo? VTS but with 8 valves??

Thank you!
Here in Spain, depending on the year the VTS could be 1.6 8V or 16V and some cars came even with a 1.4 8V hahaha. This car was going to participate in the Saxo Cup 8V but at the end was left street legal.
It is something like a phase 1.5, it has the grey valve cover engine and the speedo like the phase 2 but exterior and exhaust like the phase 1.

Welcome to the club mate.


Did you not get the VTR over there then? As thats what the 1.6 8v was over here

VTR - 8v - 90bhp
VTS - 16v - 120bhp

Ah thats mad! Hadn’t realised that, i’m a big VTS fan, the JP4 engines (1.6 16v) is a guilty pleasure of mine!

Yeah, we also had them hahaha, they were ph1 1.6 8v 90bhp, the black valve cover engine but also some 1.4 were VTR.
These french guys created a chaos with the model names 😂

Welcome aboard, Jorge.

Sounds like you've had a varied history of decent cars?!
