rs2k2008 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Brought this the other week, quite nippy and handles well. Going to get some fk coilovers for it in the next couple of weeks. Will get more pics up when the weather gets better dont want to get to cold lol.As always all views welcomehttp://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd513/dan20111/DSC_0122.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 As always all views welcome ....... are you sure you wanna go with that path? Im only giving you prior warning due to the fact that any bloke driving a clio looks like a complete penis imo. its nothin againts the cars abilities, Im sure their very impressive, but...... I just cant take a bloke serious when I see him driving a clio. dont get me wrong, the clio is not alone, Saxo's, Micra's to name a few also fall into the same caragory (I had a micra for a day as a courtesy car not long ago, was very fun to chuck about, handled like a gokart.... but then you saw yourself in a reflective surface and you manwich instantly shrank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 On the contrary, I quite like it. As shaw said, not exactly the most butch of cars, but goes well and is supposed to be a hoot to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Great fun, I enjoyed my 182. Why do you want to put coilovers on that will negatively affect the handling? The handling is the best feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massivewangers Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 These seem to be a bit of a bargain at the moment, very capable little cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Like it, great toy. I dislike the poverty spec clios (and most french cars to be fair) but this, and cars like the 106GTI I really respect, won't knock anyone for choosing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 great little cars. To look past a cars abilites because of a lack of blokey image is a bit daft, and brings to the surface the individual's own issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To look past a cars abilites because of a lack of blokey image is a bit daft, and brings to the surface the individual's own issues Erm... I wasn't laughing! Nope, not me! My mate had one of these and loved it! Said he felt like he had to rev the nuts off it for it to do anything, though, so make sure you keep on top of the oil changes!

Mike-evans Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Love these cars, had a 182 & 172. Had a brake switch prob on them both which just had to be removed and adjusted to fix... Also had a immobiliser issue on my 172, other than that, no probs at all..... Go very well and handle very good. Expensive job to get the timing belt done tho if not already done?

rs2k2008 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Still got this, took it round mallory park last november, done really was happy with it. But once i had it checked over when i got home, it had took some hard abuse. Had to chance most the bushes, all the brakes, both rear wheel bearings and a few other things. Took it again 2 weeks ago and it feels like a diffrent car. Been told clio cup suspension, should be next step with some better tyres. If anyone is thinking about one of these for a track toy, i highly recomend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
