just under $2000 NZD. PHEW

So far I have Brembo HC Discs with greenstuff/bluestuff pads, braided brake lines with some motul 600 fluid, Toyo R888's and new ktec upper engine mounts. Not going to touch the engine because I feel for trackdays and daily driving its perfect. I have some Eibach sportlines that im yet to fit...

Howdy, Took my Ph1 Sunflower 172 in today to have the cambelt, waterpump, auxbelt etc etc done plus to have the gearbox oil replaced at the same time. Now I was getting a little bit over the clio lately. Im looking at meganes because I need a bit more room but bloody heck! Just driven the clio...

At the op shop! This bloody 32" screen that I have had sitting in storage for years weighs a ton. Only just fit in the back of the clio and almost killed myself getting it back out again. I appreciate flatscreens so much more now

Also handy if you want to drop the rear by a good couple of inches!

Howdy, Yesterday I fitted some some yellow Powerflex bushes into my Ph1 172 bottom gearbox mount. The old ones were probably the factory ones and were totally stuffed. Was getting nasty manifold banging on takeoff and especially up hills. Anyway, its a lot better now. The gear change and the...

Just thought I would share a wallpaper I made yesterday from a photo of my Ph1 172 Enjoy : )

Actually just found the Kam site, looks like they have exactly what I want : http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/renault/renault-clio-mk2/engine/engine-mountings/powerflex-dogbone-engine-mount-renault-clio-mk2-2-0-rs-172-phase-1.html Cheers!

Howdy, I need to replace the bottom engine/gearbox mount bush on my 01 Clio 172 as I have the usual crashing and bashing at the exhaust into the subframe. The bush is pretty knackered. I hear Powerflex ones are the business. Im in New Zealand and if I go to renault they will only sell me the...

Cheers for the kind words fellas. Next for the car is new belts and waterpump, eibach springs and to get the wheels powder coated as they are a bit chipped. Start a new job in a couple of weeks so funding the damn project won't be so hard! Every now and then I lust for a big luxobarge BMW or...

my one fell off for the 2nd time yesterday. Have now put a flexi join near the manifold because the exhaust was too rigid and with the engine movement it was snapping the welds. Ran around for the day with a 2'5inch straight pipe with a small resonator. Waaaay to loud.

Yea stock height. Painting the wheels black was the best thing I did too

Yea this car is not water tight enough to make the trip to Germany... Went to a beach called Ruakaka. It's a surf beach 2 hours north of Auckland. Beautiful!

Howdy, Took the missus away for a week to a beach house. Was great but ended up taking more shots of the car than the view or her! Got fantastic fuel consumption on the way up as its about a 2 hour drag. Coming back was a bit more spirited! Anyway here are some shots.
