You back in a Clio Matt?

I'm selling my meg!

Not too upset though - going to get an r26r instead!! Just won't be for 6 months so going to be a boring winter!

 

[Matt W]

I am indeed!

Keeping all the CF bits for the next megane?

 

[caymanr26]

No they are glued on so staying put
Im planning on getting a few bits but just a few! Door badges, pillar covers and diamonds - think ill just keep my carbon engine cover as an incentive to save hard!

 

[caymanr26]

Post a pic of your Clio mate

[Hodgins]

[gez 172]

[Hodgins]

MK1, im not in any position to buy a mk2 lol

just a childhood dream i guess, an itch that needs scratching

 

[gez 172]

Ash! Your selling the Ph1!?




Keeping the cup?

 

[gez 172]

Does anyone go down Swansea on Sunday nights for a spin to where the 'cruise' is?

 

[roland rat]

[roland rat]

Unsure yet been looking at DC5's,Meg R26's,350Zed's and S2000's but just cant decide ATM as im moving with work so that will be the biggest factor on what i buy next

 

[gez 172]

All sound awesome. Think I'd have to pick the DC5 though, stunning.

 

[roland rat]

Yean i do love the DC5 but really got a soft spot for the 350Z especially with a Nismo kit fitted.

 

[gez 172]

Let's get a meet organised then

 

[tas662]

Can anyone recommend a garage in Newport for doing work on my 182?

 

[Craig_B]

Hi guys. Paid member now. Looking for some bargains for my ph1 172. And some for the 197 if there's some about.

South Wales Rep over on Clio197.net if you don't remember me. Died down cos of time of year, but met up with a few guys yesterday at my first track day. (Matt and Gez) cheers for popping down lads!

 

[Owen]

Hi Craig, two Renaults....you're a sucker for punishment aren't you? Lol

 

[gez 172]

YES! Glad to see you over on here with the ph1, you'll have some absolute bargains in the 'for sale' section.

What bits you looking for mate?

 

[Craig_B]

Hi Craig, two Renaults....you're a sucker for punishment aren't you? Lol

Haven't had no problems yet (touch wood) and all I've driven is French cars haha

Yeah wanted to do track days but couldn't bring myself round to chuck an expensiveish car round so bought a cheap ish 172 to do them in.

YES! Glad to see you over on here with the ph1, you'll have some absolute bargains in the 'for sale' section.

Yeah man was good. Shall see ya again soon.

What bits you looking for mate?

Well I'd consider anything, as its standard ATM. But before my next track day I would ideally like;

Better tyres
Stiffer springs
Better seat and harness. (Didnt feel standard 172 seat held me in very well)

And maybe whiteline ARB? Rear Strut

Cheers guys
