  4. WTF!!! So whoever's owned it has taken the good bits off it? They made the car!

    Hope your going to get it back to somewhere near to where it was before you sold her!

    Great news though. Bet your chuffed to have it back in the stable!

  5. Welcome back Matt. Did you prefer the Meg to the Meglio?
     
  6. Yes mate it will be getting some goodies however I won't go as extream as the car will now be my daily. So suspension, stock recaros and some wheels which I already have haha 3fd4e5973bdb32cd15585f7f6abb5aac.jpg

  7. Cheers buddy, erm hard because for me I'll always be biased to Megane but I think they just do everything so well and the Clio in its current state is a one trick pony

  9. Cool, was just looking at Clio Turbos like this as replacement for my r26 and wondered what you were doing with yours.

  10. Quality that you bought your old one back mate. Bet it feels weird driving it with a stock setup.
    Did you sell all the parts before you sold or did the previous owner? Has the cage, Pole position, cae etc all gone?!
     
  11. They made it a very niche car and selling a niche modified car is often far from easy. Taking those bits out makes it more sellable plus you can sell the bits too.
     
  12. Yer the car was stripped unfortunately but that's ok I got her back so cheap it doesn't matter, she still has plenty of good stuff but the main stuffs gone. It actually feels fantastic on the road as it is but that won't stop me, already ordered some BC coilovers so nothing mad but good enough for what I want, wheels going for refurb, and bought my original ktec intercooler back then it's a hunt for stock recaros.

  13. BCs arrived and look a fantastic but of kit for the money, the bud quality looks and feels excellent. I've also ordered a mid box chop pipe for bit more noise as the cat back is no longer on the car. Wheels are off being refurbished and should be back end of next week (having them done the same colour as my original enkies) a88849bc242c82339a6be0428a1b07b2.jpg 7306bc62b6ce6de3aa249da8ca2dc10e.jpg 77e66080058ba57f3ca3d166652fd591.jpg

  15. Got the driver's side fitted before work going to do the rest when I'm home ba40730dd14c2d112108a53ca1075e7a.jpg

  16. If your fitting the coilovers yourself, how do you go about setting them up. Do you just get them to a rough height and then take it somewhere for a proper setup
     
  17. Yes mate that's it I always have the driver's side a little higher but a thread or two so when I'm in it it's level and some how when I don't the Clio suspension it was bang on. I'm by far no mechanic but I give it a go, I do however take it to my mates garage for full geo etc

  18. BC coilovers fitted, new ball joint in the passenger side wishbone and a good clean. A set of cup wheels fitted whilst my OZ wheels are being refurbished ac72089346917ccee1ff938af062c84d.jpg

  19. Looks much better, did you drill the top of the tower out for camber adjustment. How long did it take for you to fit the coilovers
     
  20. Good to see you back mate! Car was epic first time round. Hopefully take it a step further this time [emoji6]

  21. Yes a friend of mine modified my turrets about 2 years ago.

    Fitting wise that depends on how easy stuff undoes etc.

  36. I know you had KW Clubsport on the car - what's your take on them?

    I have them on my 197 and they are great. Want the for my 265 Cup that will be mostly used as a daily driver.

    Cheers
     
  37. Fantastic suspension! Getting on a bit now so the like of nitron and AST are always options but for me they where excellent on the road.

  39. So got my leather recaros today and I'm super happy with them! Far nicer then the last leather ones I had, far softer and look in great condition. I gave them a clean up with carbon collectives new leather cleaner them set to work with my secret weapon...red Sharpie. However the lad that had the car off me fitted stock seats and whoever fitted them has destroyed 2 of the T40 torx bolts that hold the seats in and typical it's one on each seat!!! So I need to get them out somehow 8137ca1165cef0322d68446878184a60.jpg da746e8f634a18764f057f3ad7ef3ca6.jpg c5fe42ce701810852e2ac6615239b361.jpg a3d0c7da1bd6f887eff6bf7ee5dbe11a.jpg 73a452663af6b48058a50a92e635edb0.jpg
