Update - progress!

[jon_r]

Finally getting the few mechanical issues sorted with the car, she is now running spot on! (Don't ask about the cost!) Its even doing over 30 mpg now!

Next month its having the front bumper sorted out (slight paint peeling) and having the parking dents in the passenger side removed (spent the first 5 years of its life in London).

Couple of latest pics:

Am trying to resist the 240bhp temptation at the moment..... Must save for Germany!

I do like coupes. I had a made with the 16vt and a le kit. Was very nice!

Theyre not far off the 20v's are they really?

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Any plans for it Jon? Track ***** or saving ear ache from the wife?

 

[jon_r]

Its going to Germany in October mate!

Tom, I must admit not really up on the Coupe that much yet, its 25bhp, 1 cylinder and 4 valves town on the 20v as well as a few other bits i think. The EVO chip gives the 16VT 240 bhp aparently though with a few other bits!

On the trip Nik planned? Have you got the link, I've deleted it by mistake!

I may have to go aswell.

 

[jon_r]

Thats the one. You have pm.

Does it handle well? My mate had a 20VT, albeit in pretty crap condition, but it handled very poorly...

Yours looks in fantastic nick! Good on ya!

Looking good Jon!

Go for the chip, you know you want to.

Don't forget I have the PC if you want to remove any swirls etc.

Anything handles well in Jon's hands.

 

[jon_r]

lol, yes it handles OK, have a feeling with a few bushes replaced it will improve. Then again coilovers aren't too much for it! On the other hand i might sell it once its all sorted and buy another Clio....... decisions decisions!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Bit of an ugly one aren't they.

Turbos can be silly quick.

Not as nice as a Silver Cup mind you..

 

[jon_r]

No I agree!!!

I'd love another fast Clio, just can't stretch to one at the mo.

 

[Lagerlout]

On second thoughts - You said fast clio :dapprove: :dapprove:
