Titanium 182 FF
Oh hey there!
Been on the forum a few months now and thought I better introduce myself and do me a project thread.
After an age of searching and saving pennies (not helped by my yaris' gearbox exploding), finally the Clio won out over Civics/ Ibizas etc due to a combination of price,availability,insurance and a reputation for being damn good fun
Came across a pretty clean looking Titanium 182FF with FSH and only two former owners/not silly miles (76k) so snapped it up
On the way home exhaust warning light came on, but dealer had warranty so not the end of the world. Turned out to be pre-cat lambda sensor so quick fix.
Got the Clio bug instantly
First thing to do - Full service as last few had been done on the cheap. oil/gearbox oil/wipers/coolant/spark plugs and oil,air and pollen filter from Wolverhampton Renault - Membership paying off already!
Second- sorting lop sided exhaust..
Think there's meant to be something there. Good old french pig iron
Thought I might as well replace the lot as I wanted a bit more noise too, so settled on a Scorpion RS192 Cat-back as I quite like the deeper exhaust tone, and can't grumble at the price
Much better
I really need to get some proper cleaning gear. It's crying out for a claying
De-egged:
Got the Aux belt pulleys sorted as only the belt was replaced when they were done before..
Get the feeling this is a mandatory part of owning a clio
Next.....
Future plans- Clean plates, smaller aerial, lights referb, new mats, fabia splitter, new disks/pads/fluid, spacers, new wheels (oh such a hard decision), maybe new style rear badge, maybe bonnet respray
Cheers for viewing
