white converted 172

[aterro]

bought this the other week after the sale of my ibiza cupra.

Turinis

2118's

had a few little problems
had a oil leak which is sorted( i hope) havent drove it to see if its stopped
wired the horn switch in(on wheel)
new cd player
just trying to sort heating out now.
i know the fan works.
im just trying to see if its a relay or the wiring?
hm not had a proper good look yet.

bought some cleaning gear for it also which came out quite expesnive when i ordered it lol
refurb the wheels in white

and possibly spray the cage
red or black or white. possibly white as i think red is to in your face.

the roof wil be staying as i personally like it(and makes the car unique)
saves me following them sheep doesnt it.:rasp:

cheers lads

 

[Beef-Mc]

Whats the thing on the bonnet for?

 

[aterro]

its a cut out with mesh over it.
im guessing to get more cold air to the engine bay?

 

[Greeny.]

Random place for the vent though!

I dont really understand this car, its stripped but has a cool looking roof and headlights id expect to see on a 1.2! Where are you going with it, track ****? Is that the Ktec show cage in there?

 

[f0xy]

Cambelt cooling? lol

 

[matt|H]

Have seen this on the net recently, possibly on one of the other Clio forums.

Been considering grabbing a 1.2 or something and dropping my engine/running gear into it as the car itself is fooked. Does look very nice, especially in white!

 

[aterro]

its a ktec cage indeed.
not sure why the hole is there considering the filter is other side?who knows

care to explain how the car itself is fooked?

 

[Greeny.]

He means his car mate lol Its fucked as he crashed it

 

[aterro]

Oh. thought you meant mine.

on the cage i will be welding in another diagnol so makes it abit more none showcage gay lol

i was previously against cliosports before this purchase as i did own a ax vts with 708 catcams and predator standalone ecu and a clio was sloow in comparence.

Lol at the cambelt cooling comment. or maybe its just there to make me buy a set of boddies?

the angels are a tad chav but parts can always be changed. but its not on my to do list just yet.

 

[Greeny.]

I like it, whats it dropped on? You must be nearly on the bumpstops that low, does it even handle that well like that lol? Mine was awful any lower than it is.

thanks

on weitec coilovers
with powerflex bushes all round
it handles really good surprisingly, really solid and sticks to the ground even on budget tryes.
i will becoming a tad higher on the front though. 5/10mm max.
but the 300m steering wheel makes the driving experience so great.

 

[Hazza]

I LOVE THAT!!!!!! 111

 

[MK3]

Very nice! Apart from the headlights of course

 

[aterro]

thanks hazza
and mk3 well nothings perfect eh:rasp:

Hey, there was a thread bout this car a while back, was on ebay and the guy who owned it was claiming he had dropped 25k into I think!!
It actually looks pretty good, apart from the bonnet, it doesn't seem to fit properly.
Love it in white with the white wheels, think it looks like a proper racer!!!
What seats does it have in it? they look pretty sweet?
Will look out for you round town!

[guysy]

Other than that the standard xenons that i see your looking for and its a nice car.

 

[adam172]

[aterro]

i quite like the bonnet to be honest so will be staying.

IK lol never heard of that before but
it has a pipercross viper enclosed now. with the samco induction elbow.

 

[Nick r26r]

this car has changed a few hands recently , the previous owner is on here , didnt have it long , he bought it of e bay for 2k i think then spent a £1000 on it getting it up together ,

 

[aterro]

im the 3rd owner irrc so couldnt have changed that recently? lol
would love to see previous older older pics of the car.

also will any standard headlights fit? eg non sports?or have to be sport?

 

[adam172]

yea induction kit is fine for the job.
yea i know dude cheers.

anyway back to the progress:rasp:

will any standard headlights fit? eg non sports?or have to be sport?

 

[matt|H]

Non-sport wil fit but they're halogen not xenon

 

[oliver.james]

I like it

I'll have to keep an eye out for you around

 

[chrispy.clio]

I do like this car. Dont get Turnis tho, They are soooooooooooooo gay. everyone has them.

2118's suit the car much better and they look great, they are getting quite popular too tho

 

[Greeny.]

2118's are still miles better and would suit your car perfect, I might try a different colour other than white though just to break it up.

Im not sure how much that cage would actually do in a crash though as its just a show cage? Probably just colapse and crush you I would imagine, will be good with it welded up

I agree with the steering wheel comment mate, I love mine totally changes how the car feels compared with the standard bus wheel.

 

[Wests Renault]

i was gunna buy this car, seemed a good buy

 

[aterro]

might just keep the turbines and refurb them.
the cage is a solid metal and not like chocolate wrapped in metal coating like them showcages Lol

oliver james where you based in wigston, im only down the road literally.

is that the only difference? the bulbs? in the headlights?

im not sure on the colour scheme to be honest. so happy to take comments on that?

 

[oliver.james]

oliver james where you based in wigston, im only down the road literally.

Little Hill
