daz_rt_04 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well my 1st car, back in 2007 Clio 1.4 RT unfortunately got wrote off by a vectra driver :cry: I was going for the 16 Valve look. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/dscf0132me4.jpg After several months of driving around in a 95 reg mondeo (all be it a Ghia model) I decided to go for a newer Clio again, all be it a Mk2 Ph1 172. Just a couple pics, I have around 4 gig of pics of it!!!Upon owning it, I had to change a few things. Gaz Coilovers (not the cheap rubbish Gaz ones)KTec Racing 2.5" bore Stealth exhaust.ITG Panel filter with custom Caf. Along with all the black that found itself on the car stealth carbon fibre splitter that was made for a newer shape clio...made to fit lol. Due to losing my job, I had to sell up. :cry: http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/DSCN0074.jpg http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/DSCN0090-1.jpg http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/DSCN0076.jpg Next was my Saxo VTS. Spent a fair penny on that, it was a standard when I bought it. Perfomance mods - Supersprint Race systemRaceland 4-2-1 heatwrapped.Green Panel, CAF to fog 206 GTi front brake setup - best mod I ever done to the car http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/DSCN0369.jpg http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/SNC00038.jpg It come to my understanding the car was a little bit of a freak, the idle was lumpy at times etc, cammed and I didnt know? Dyno'd out at 145bhp with a remap needed = Good times! His a quick Vid of the VTS....Purely for noise purpose tbh http://s488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/D...30082008015.flv Dyno Vid. http://s488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/D...nt=SNC00025.flv Next, well a Punto GT3...please if anybody on this club decides to want one...dont bother... http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/SNC00153.jpg I cant even be bothered to put more pics up of it tbh, dislike the car so much...not that it was giving me problems, just for the simple fact it was rubbish! Back to what ive been used to, Clio's My Valver. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/SNC00150.jpg http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/SNC00149.jpg http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/SNC00269-1.jpg Unfortunately, 2 weeks ago it ended up like this... http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr248/Daz_rt_04/SNC00305.jpg Boot floor is creased, and the front took a smack to...write off :cry: So now what? im unemployed and have to make money from selling the bits off the clio to fund buying something dead cheap. Next Sunday, I pick up a cheap and cheerful Escort Gti, needs a lil bit of love but should be fine. Will post up pics when I pick it up.
