My 5th RS Clio, Monaco 172

[Gaz85]

Well I will shortly be getting a company car so unfortunately this meant letting go of my focus ST and my friend wished to buy it so offered me his Monaco in exchange, I have always had a soft spot after we went down to Bolton to get it for him.

So here it is you may recognise the pictures from when Gally detailed it:

Mods:

Sabelt Wheel
Turinis
FK coilovers
Ktec Stealth
V6 Airbox
Cup Spoiler
Cup Spliter

Plans, probably get a set of bucket seat and harness and use this as my track/weekend car and get rid of my stripped 172 cup since its not mot'd or taxed if anyone is looking for one let me know .

haha, as I said I had a few things that could happen, this was the one that did!

[Gally]

You know how I feel about this. I want one on 2118s with no fogs and some hard mods. Monaco is a special colour.

[Nyall]

Monaco is such a lovely colour, and that looks perfect.

Very jealous, I'd like to own a Monaco next, if I were to get rid of the Ph1.

 

[Ash.]

That's perfect I miss my Monaco so so badly and seeing this has just made me sad. Again it's perfect!

 

[Gaz85]

cheers guys, its a tad slow compared to my ST but still brings a smile to my face

Wee cheeky steering wheel shot

 

[Dan...]

That is beautiful! ... I've just been looking on auto trader at 172's and they all look like sheds compared to this!

 

[Mr R.]

Cracking car, sits perfect.

How do you find the FK coilovers?

Cheers

aye they are not bad, second clio I have had them on, not really had a chance to test these ones fully. Really liked my H&Rs on my last road cup, and got ktec ones on the track cup which are surprisingly ok.

 

[Mr R.]

Cheers, ive just sold my Spax.

Was thinking about buying FK next.

 

[w33 brl]

What FK is you've got? I've got high sports on he turbo and there good but not adjustable dampers

 

[Gaz85]

ive believe they are the non adjustable ones ive not looked, I had the adjustable ones on my first cup.

 

[w33 brl]

High sports then, I've had mine on for about 18months and they've been spot on I would definitely buy a set again likes

 

[Gally]

I don't even think Ally had the wheel when I drove it. Transforms the car.

 

[Gaz85]

he had the wheel for ages, but it was never fitted I don't think its long on, tho whoever has put it on the indicators don't auto cancel going one way so will need to get that looked at. But totally one of the best things you can do to them, couldn't drive it with the boat wheel

 

[Matthew]

I'd love a Monaco 172, kept all mint for a weekend blast.

Thats the plan, working away from home during the week, then trackdays or a wee blast when home

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Stunning, Gaz!

 

[JamieG]

Stunning Gaz, presume this means you don't want the Cup back

This the one that was in the pictures that you sent me me when I bought the cup?

 

[Budgie]

Looks lovely that!

Welcome to the club, although it's all about 2118's

 

[Gaz85]

Stunning, Gaz!

cheers danny

still first dibs on the cup back though I need to sell my cup as no point in having two clios and a company car :S

Aye this is the one in those pictures I sent you, just with the back raised up so it wasn't arse down stanced

Looks lovely that!

Welcome to the club, although it's all about 2118's

I do like them on 2118s the one Si had I believe looked epic, is that a picture of it? I need a set of 15s for it so who knows
