Well done on the award. It stood out quite some way for myself and Brian, especially having read this thread in the past. Was nice to see it in the metal.

Glad its made an influence on you to want to do yours oem looking is best & i think yours pulls that off amazingly & with a nice s/c under the bonnet too it will be even better. Im getting my wheels done in bright oem silver next & maybe even put the Ph1 side strips back on & rear lights but im not 100% sure on those bits.

Epic car, congrats on your award, well deserved!

Cheers Bobby nice meeting you mate & thanks very much for the engine oil im changing it today so the 197 is nice & fresh.

When you taking it? I reckon itd look good in Sunflower

 

[Craig.]

Well I have bought another Clio lol this is number 10 & the 8th Renault sport & it's the 5 RS I've got at the moment as I've also got a RB182 FF with a friend but we are deciding what direction to go with it.

Standard Ph1 Sunflower
Supercharged Sunflower
RB 182 FF
Titanium 182
RB 197 FF

I just love Clios Lol


​The Renault Wind GT louise had sold just before we went to Glastonbury & we were just going to use the 172 & 197, but I didn't really want to have to use the 172 as a daily so I thought a Ph2 172 or 182 would fit the bill, then a mate says he is selling his Titanium 182 but needs abit of tlc I hadn't seen it in a while so went & had a look at it last week, a price was a agreed & then i picked it up after work tonight

It was due a cambelt change so I ordered the bits through the week & soon as I got the car tonight I took it straight upto Owens in Doxford so he can do the belts tomorrow for me. I'll post a picture of his BG 182 he's built it's quality & Owens a very clever lad.

I'm going to do a project thread on it as there's a few jobs on it Im going to do before I can get it to my standard & it'll give me something to tinker with as there isn't much I want to do to the sunflower now & nothing at all to the 197.

Thanks to Korky for following me to Owens & bringing me home.

​

Without giving too much away it's a 182 with a 197 engine, Megane pistons, forged rods, td05 turbo, Evo manifold, Megane ecu, Megane Clocks push button start & key card :hail: Ohh & 300bhp but that will be changing very soon.

 

[Trophy501]

There should be a law about owning 2 charged clios

 

[dmallett]

Youve lost me, what car is the last pic? As it looks like its a black clio!

 

[Cub.]

Great work! I want a charged clio.

 

[Chi]

[Craig.]

The last picture is of Owens 182 turbo the one ive specced at the end of my post, i should have made that bit abit more clear.

[Paul172sport]

[Bobby.]

Haha they proberly don't but I do

Owen is a clever lad, you should get him to do a R26 conversion on yours

​

UPDATE

Just a little one, had some battery issues of late, turned out to be my alternator & a s**t battery lol, so I've changed the alternator & I'm off to get a new battery today.

Also I mentioned to a few people at CSS I wanted to get a full respray done on the car, well it's happening next week & I can't wait also having the 16s done is OEM silver I've managed to get the original silver paint code off Jonnathon with the flame red Ph1. I'm also putting the original plastic side trims & handles back on & maybe even ph1 rear lights.

It will basically just look like my other one did on 16" f1s, just wish I had kept the V6 spoiler
