Shmee in a Vee
- Thread starter Chris V6 255
- Start date
2015 Audi S3 Stage 3
Started my Clio journey at 17 too with a mega 2000 1.2 8V MTV 🤣
I ruined that car with a peco big bore 4 exhaust, 172 rep alloys, BOGE springs which would have shaked the bones of my ancestors, tacky chrome M3 mirrors and chrome LED washer jets haha then some ridiculous sound system - thankfully no photo evidence except what is burned in my memory
Then I moved onto a 2003 Dci 80 for 3 years and 60k miles - the modding continued but a bit more fitting for the time and stylish with 182 bodykit and prima racing skirt kit. Stupidly put 18's on it, huge sound system again - overall ruined but loved it.
Havent had a clio since 2006 but always dipped in and out of here and I will own a clio sport at some stage, I have too!
Respect @Shmee150 for coming on and tackling the trolls

I'm also a believer in building the car you want, not the car other people want and worrying about resales value, mileage, and whatever else. I've got some experience in the area with the Vee too, drop me a line if you need any help, theres a great community of owners here in the UK. I've recently sourced and developed a solution for new driveshaft outer CV assemblies as an example, because of course, you can't get the OE V6 part any more. Another owner has a replacement solution for front lower balljoints... etc etc.
I've got it just the way I want it now
Couple of suggestions - get some camber bolts or a way of adjusting camber. 1° negative on all 4 corners transforms the turn in.
Michelin PS4 really seem to suit it, and I crammed 255's on the back of mine.
A nice set of bucket seats and a steering wheel really make it feel a bit more special inside, it's a bit too "normal clio" otherwise. I went for Pole Positions.
Carry a couple of spare coil packs in your glovebox, with the socket to change one out on the road. You WILL need it at some point lol.
DON'T throw ANYTHING away that can be reused. Keep the old clutch, it can be refurbed for someone (for example).
DId this bloke get all those cars from making YT videos?First I saw of you was back in the day when you were jumping in and out of supercars in London, your name was familiar to me as an internet car guy, but it wasn't until Johnny Smith went round your yard that I realised who you were, i'll definitely be following your progress on the Vee and you're on the right forum for all the relevant info, i'll also be enjoying peoples meltdowns when you modify it in a way that isn't scene approved.
What's the deal with the bog standard Clio in the corner?
Imagine if he had an only fans

I'm starting to feel like I've spent far to much time of my internet life on redtube and missed a few things.
Can someone please give me a breakdown of how @DaveDreads has gone from knowing this bloke carjacking ???? to pretty much having a dream garage?
This isn't going to be another one of these he also had an import business from South America?

I saw him on YT / TV years ago, then some years past, then I saw him on Johhny Smiths YT channel the other month, then this thread started; and here we are.
Import/export business lol.

respray progress
All my cars are on these: https://www.ctek.com/uk/battery-chargers-12v-24v/cs-one-uk
The relationship with Ctek is fantastic because I was using all of their equipment for my cars already, they saw this and now we have a collaboration together.

That's Amazing, Its the cable length im looking for with these.
One car is in a carcoon so that has the battery conditioning on it but my Trophy has one that gives me the fear and I don't know why so looking to upgrade ASAP
This is going to be good! Will the V6 go to the Nurburgring too? 👀
100%. Drove today in my SLS BS, and will definitely be making the voyage over as soon as the V6 is ready.

That looks pretty darned sweet. I thought Acid was the wrong colour when it was announced but my mind has been changed; really like that to be honest.

Looks like a great paint job and I like acid yellow.
Needs some spacers on the rear though.

They’ve done (from what we can see) a lovely job. Well done all involved
Having a good chat with yourself over some Clio action? 😂

I would estimate close to £10k

maybe if it was a bare shell fully stripped.
Assuming its still black under the bonnet and carpets I susepect closer to £3k.
I was quoted £14k by Option One for mine.
I ended up taking it all the way to Aberdeen (from Coventry) and got a really, really top quality job through a friend for a quarter of that which made the 450 miles each way with a trailer well worth it!
