Had the 1.2s on for a bit now, Personally think it looks good, I'm about the only one that does though :rasp:

Not really done much else to it since its been done as I'm skint! Still using it daily, Which isnt too wallet friendly. New daily on the cards so will see this being a bit more track specific I think :D

lovely car, but it did look its best on the white 2118s but i guess you want to try something different now, seeing as loads of people have them..

Not posted much on this for a while! So I'll chuck up a few bits! Not much has been happening, Have fitted a new charger housing, Welded the charger bracket and fitted a 6 paddle clutch ( Cheers chip for the help on getting that ;) )

Heres the feature video keepitclean done, When it was actually clean!

http://vimeo.com/61566709

Had it rolling roaded @ 247bhp @ the fly and 221lbft torque. Not bad when the you get the power down!

Got the engine out to get the bits fixed and clutch fitted, Sitting in fraser.j's garden ;)

I did LOL when you said the other day that the next car you buy will be a *35. If you dont end up in a ph1 by this time next year I'll be amazed!

Its nearly been a year and a half since i last posted in here! So will chuck some pics up to get you upto date.

First up, last show i was at was CSS 2013, got the car mapped at ra tuning then went the the ring and nackerd the engine. Cracked all the ringlands! What a b*****d.

So that was that, pissed off and running out of money I sold the charger set up and went back to standard. Fast forward a few weeks I was having boost withdrawls! ....so I bought this [emoji23]

Vinyld white forged + turbo'd 172. Went well but needed quite a bit work to get it mint, and I didnt have the love for the car to carry out the work so it went.

After that its about december so I spied a cheap valver on gumtree...ah a nice cheap project for the winter I thought, all it needed was a gearbox.

So the plan was to fix the valver for winter and get on with some tinkering with the sunflower! Bought new seats and coilovers for it, aswell as a Pms exhaust and Pms shifter. Fitted new tie rod/track rods/ball joints so the car was feeling great for its first trackday.

So after that I got a chance to buy a car I've always wanted, After a few pm's on another forum I went and picked up this [emoji16] cheers to neilA for coming to look at it and @Fraser.J. For the lift [emoji8]

So the yellow clio is still on the road but not done many track days due to my new found love for an escort [emoji12]

Next thing for the clio was another trip to the nurburgring! Clio got there and back with no problems this time other than my seats! Oops. So met Andy carlile and was kind enough to let me borrow the seats out his car for a week in exchange for some beer tokens!

Made a floor plate, feels much better if you're as small as me...

Home in one piece, got a pic with the escort [emoji41]

Since december I've been working on the valver here and there, still in bits and losing motivation for it. Ended up with engine/box out, fully sprayed bay and everything tidyd up. Now has a 172 gearbox in it aswell.

So that brings us a bit closer to now, clios been on the back burner most if this year just getting used now and then. Latest purchase for it was some new shoes.

And the valver passed its MOT during the week...better late than never!

And the escos will be tucked up for winter shortly aswell.

For this winter the clio should be getting a new box put in, EPAS conversion and some new seats and a pair of new tyres, Plus anything else I decide is a good idea along the way! Think thats about it really.
