cheers

my favourite clio! just how a mk1 should look

Edited 25 July, 200818 yr by Howler

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid man..

Very nice mate. Tempted to go exactly the same route with my 106GTi.

i agree with Howler, fav. mk1 clio by far!

the only thing i'm not keen on are the black rims.. not sure what it is about them but they arn't to my tastes atm!

That is cool, I like it alot

Nice to see something some serious performance in what appears to be a balanced package. Bet the brakes get a good work with the 230bhp pulling such a light car along. No LSD/ATB?

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid man..

What's not to like given that it appears 95% of the parts added to car are for performance reasons? It's not really about cups of tea...

THATS a daddy car....love what youve done with it, performance and nice mods, no silly 17" wheels or owt

nice

just how clio's should be

no mate, no lsd as yet, not so good for straight line, it torque steers enough as it is, altho depending on the ring trip if i decide the thing is good on track i will add an lsd to the new box i have in the shed!

yeah, brakes tend to get a bit cooked, i glazed a set of greenstuff last week so up-graded to redstuff and they seem to be better, oh n its 253bhp last rr day, upped the boost to just shy of 16psi and it pulled that and 230lb/ft of torque

cheers for stickin up for l'escargot aswell, as u say, its all about the performance!

Coops, that is a serious piece of kit.

It looks very nicely built and the modifications all seem to be sensibly chosen and carried out to a high standard. Superb chassis, brakes and engine spec, nice lightweight bodyshell - it really is a mouth watering spec allround indeed.

I really can't see how polocollector can say such a stupid thing. Obviously everyone has their own opinion, but to say it's is downright silly. He probably understands nothing of the spec of the car and is just one of those stupid "French cars are shit" VW blinkered brigade.

I'd sooner own that than probably 90% of the so called "modified" Polo's on here.

Superb car mate.

i know how quick those little 16v Clios are as standard so i bet that chips!

very nice and subtle looking car

if I'm totally honest i prefur the Williams wheels to the Team Dynamics but thats personal opinion :) (i love a sleeper)

i think if you know anything about performance in cars you will like this, and not dismiss it as the usually french crap

top class

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid man..

Go fuck yourself.

I'm sick of read your gay little comments about how performance cars are the only good cars and anything else is shit. Some people want car that looks nice and don't give a shit about performance. Leave them to it. Instead of just getting on your imaginary high horse and pointing your finger.

Annnnnyway,

Car looks very impressive. Nice and understated with money spent in all the right areas. Top work

Thats awesome!!! love it! 2nd pic up is the money shot

As far as clios go... tha aint bad

nice spec, n like that last picture looks pro :>

the willy wheels are run day to day with road tyres on, the pro race are for track and strip and fitted with the r888 semi slicks i cant decide which i prefer, thats why i kept them both, altho on one pic infront of tree it had grey willy wheels on and i kinda regret gettin rid of them for the black ones....

last 2 pics are pro, were done by craig pusey for performance french cars feature last year

Seen this on ClubClio before, the best Clio i've seen by far

Know your limits

We're all adults here, so we have very few taboos and we expect a bit of swearing and friendly banter within reason.

However, we have our limits and will not tolerate any serious verbal abuse, or anything likely to cause serious offence

Whats it run down the strip mate?

^^^ Are you a sad,lonely man??
