I meant to say alignment shouldnt have been off it was setup 1 month prior by the station of power!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Just a quick pick from today.

Since last updated, now has new wheels (for now), KW V2's, Whiteline rear ARB, and a cf splitter. Sorted a mysterious misfire (lambda), so shall be booking another track session soon.

Looks really nice with the new wheels and its very shiny.

 

[RichCup]

Does look very nice there! They pro race 2's? Can't really tell on my phone!

Yes fella. They're ok, but I'd like some pro race 3's.

 

[superbenji88]

Pro Race 3's look very nice indeed.

 

[bomber]

looks amazing in that colour, id be very happy owning it

 

[Russ Rallye]

Looks really good warren, any better pics of the splitter, i assume its a cup one modified for the ph1 bumper?

Yep, but I've not modified it. Just went straight on.

 

[ForceIndia]

One last pic until I've found some pro race 3's.

 

[bomber]

wish my ph1 was so clean

 

[ForceIndia]

Quick wash. Splitter needs a wee adjustment, but no other plans for the moment. Unless some cheap pro race 3's come up.

 

[Fred@BTM]

exhaust not clean! tut

 

[Rob]

Very nice indeed, this car makes me undecided about the ph2 bumper I have just bought! Ah!

I need to ask your advice about the Throttle Body "bodge" you have done, and whether there is a "tidier and more secure" way of doing it.... not that there is anything wrong with yours...

It works, but it's not ideal, as the throttle becomes quite heavy. I managed to get a used TB quite cheap, which sorted the issue.

I've got 2 sticky TB's in the garage, I'm going to take them apart and clean everything then sell them on. I'll pm you when done if you want one?

 

[Rob]

Please do mate, I'd even take a dirty one if thats cheaper?

 

[Gaz_]

Mint that! Really like them wheels, think they'd suit the Cup tbh!

£25 delivered?

Gimmie 6 days and I'll sort out payment (paday) cheers

I like them, but I think these would look great

 

[Gaz_]

Nice!!!!

Keeping the Cup now, decided i was being (very) gay.

PM your address and I'll send it out on wednesday, just sort the cash out on payday. I know how frustrating the 2k idle is.

Happy days, should meet up one of these days. I'd like to see what the Billies are like. You need to try the rear ARB!

New spring needed? Steve was on about Andys ph1 does it sometimes.

The springs need cleaning, so much dirt and crud gets in there.

 

[Rob]

Love you,!

BTW, those wheels are mint, get it done!

 

[ForceIndia]

Little update, not much changed. Was going to sell, but having looked at a few mx5's they aren't practical enough for me at the moment.

Smashed a pheasant (along with my splitter) to dust a while ago, so fitted the fabia splitter today. Uber happy for £13.

That bond is special!

I promised my wife this would be the last Clio I ever buy. I should buy a proper car, meh.

Sad day today. Having owned both for a while, the new owner picked up the ph1 tonight. Passed the MOT today, one advisory for a chip in the windscreen (been there for approx 2yrs!).
Final pic.

In some ways, it will be the best car I'll ever own. But the new owner will have it on ITB's very soon, no doubt some more track biased seats/steering wheel. Don't think I've forgotten the offer of a track drive.

 

[ForceIndia]

Enjoyed the last one so much, started another

 

[Bluebeard]

A dirty ph2 though?! Ph1 is where it's at warren.
