Bought a 2002 Clio 172 in need of some work in January, and now its on the road i've kind of been bitten by the bug

Had spotted this recently and it seemed to be going nowhere, so put in a cheeky offer for this Clio 197 in my local dealers, and he accepted it! woohoo



Its off at the min getting new rear discs fitted and a years MOT put on it, so getting it next Saturday

Will probably sell the Insignia, leaving us with the 370Z GT, the Clio 197 and the modded Clio 172.

Long live NA engines!

I had one of these, a full fat 197. Removed the Center silencer for some pops and crackles, polybushed the engine mounts and enjoyed one of the most entertaining cars you can buy!
Every drive turned into a little rally!
I'm sure I've got some brake pad pins for the Brembos about somewhere if you want them?

Cheers folks. Yes, the "litte rally" is exactly why i bought it.

I've enjoyed sorting out the 172 i bought, but the GAZ suspension is severely rock hard in it, though its a hoot to drive.

Really looking forward to getting this one!
