Ph 1 172: my new clio



hi there

am new to the world of clios but have been around them for a while as mate have had variations to them etc.

picked myself up a phase 1 172 locally to myself and proceded to make it my own. had ideas to make it into a track car, due to my last track car destroying its engine and loosing intrest in it.

the day i picked the car up.

and proceeded to start work on the inside. had my other project a pair of Cobra Evolution seats that i was going to fit into the clio

have now fitted the passenger seat aswell and completly stripped the back half of the interior out, ill be leaving the door cards headlining and front carpet as ive been there had a fully stripped car and as a daily driver its not particularly practical.

last saturday had my mate Dan come over and help me fit a decat pipe as he has experience with clios after building his mk1 hybrid etc. after lots of swearing and shouting we finally had it fitted. the car already had a cat back system fitted not sure what it is has twin round pipe possibly magnex, the decat has really bought the sound out of the exhaust and isnt overly loud which is a bonus due to track regulations.

painted the standard oz f1 wheels matt black which worked really well with the silver paintwork.

just needs some lowering for me to be 100% happy as its raised itself up since removing the weight from the car. dont want to go silly low as no point as is a point of good handling and the looks as i found with my bmw at the ring etc.

lots of plans in the pipe line,

future plans:
- a mental full on weld in cage
- and possibility on new seats, not sure what but ive had these for 18months and would like a change.

theres loads to do but the cage is the most important part to save money for in the upcoming months.
 
well ive been getting right back into my detailing as of recently,

am a massive fan of dodo wax the price/shine is what attracts me to it.

and ive also got hold of a set of cup turinis to use as my daily wheels and gonna keep the oz f1's for using on track.
