What to do with 1.5k *few pics*

[r8byb]

Got my clio up for sale but i think im kidding myself that a civic type R which was going to be next is actually any better... was going to put about 1.5k towards the clio to get the R but now wandering what to get with the money...?

Also can anyone think of some small exterior touches ?

Here's what i came up with..

Brembo HC disks, Ferado Ds2500, Moquip hoses, new fluid £270
Yozzasport full system inc de-cat £450
Two new rear tyres £150
Bootlid dent removed and bonnet resprayed to remove a couple of chips £250
Angelworks remap aswell as 60k service £400

Then H&R's in October...

I just keep thinking to my self is it worth spending all that on a clio though.. and yes i do, do the odd trackday

The car anyway...

Pshop lol

2118's will look the dogs doodas on ur car my friend

 

[r8byb]

Yeah, but i want them in anthra and im under the impression they dont do them anymore ?

CTR wont be better but with the 1.5k on the car and your mileage it will be hard to sell in say 18/12 time and you will take a knock whereas take a knock now and buy another car maybe?

 

[r8byb]

well my idea was the parts i shall be fitting can be removed and re-sold apart from brakes and tyres.

I do about 600 miles a year so after a year the mileage would be down quite a bit to nearly average for the year ?

 

[Middo]

i'll continue spending on my car until i seriously want to have something else. if you've already contemplated getting a type R, you'll still want one once you've spent the 1.5k on the cup. so i wouldnt bother if i were you

 

[Slammed172]

love the photoshop, nice car.

I have a problem, ive had 7 car's in the last few years all hot hatches, only one i havent tried is a type R but i drove my mates and got back in the clio and it just felt nicer, and quicker, which swayed me back towards the clio ..

Where did u get ur numberplate done??

 

[r8byb]

My friend did it, who owns his own graphic shop

 

[Gally]

no chance of a 197? little classier compared with the ctr.imo

 

[r8byb]

fraid not, i have 2.5k cash plus what i get for the clio basically, if i sold it.

oh ok sorry i thought you did alot, middo is right tbh when you want another car you will never be happy

 

[r8byb]

I ment 6000 not 600 lol... ill always want a s2000 lol

 

[Skinny]

If you want one get one tbh.

And i say get one, yeah you may take a hit but you'll never know till you've got one, and well if you dont like it you can always sell it tbh You only live once, if you aint completely happy then just change!

 

[Gally]

fraid not, i have 2.5k cash plus what i get for the clio basically, if i sold it.

just out of curosity would you buy a 197 compared to a ctr?
i thought thr ctr was still up 8-9k?

 

[dutty_112]

please do your photoshop!

 

[Phoenix]

Yeah, but i want them in anthra and im under the impression they dont do them anymore ?

Screw the Type R mate.
Your car is a minter

 

[mach10]

get a dc5

 

[ForceIndia]

get a dc5

Get an RS6.

 

[Craigie-B15]

get a zb9

 

[Timmay]

love that photoshop!

 

[Ash87]

keep it Rob, that ps looks mint deffo get some 2118s!

 

[Cupster]

The pic with the 2118's looks mint (bar the mirrors!)

Forget the Type R mate

 

[r8byb]

im only 20 so DC5 is out of the question but is on the "list" for the future

 

[Whiteley]

Keep it, then I can continue to use what you do as guidance!

 

[Whiteley]

Where did u get ur numberplate done??

Mine came from fancyplates, looks about the same:

 

[Mark One]

get a dc5

waaaaay overpriced those. Great car. Bad buy

I'd say keep the 182 or get an S2000. Insurance won't be a big hike at all

 

[r8byb]

S2000 ( yellow with a hard top ) is always on the list, Whiteley, you cant use me as a guine pig lol...

 

[RBME]

I know everyone is different, but I went to a CTR from my 182 and regretted it. The Civic isn't a bad car but it just doesn't have the same character. I'm back with a 197 now and love it.

Try and get some serious time in the CTR before committing.

 

[Whiteley]

Whiteley, you cant use me as a guine pig lol...

You're older, therefore richer

Seriously though, it'd be a shame to let the car go for another one that you dont 100% seem convinced about. Could end up even more expensive if you change your mind again.

 

[r8byb]

Yeah true, how old are you then :O

Cheers RBME

 

[typefern]

Hi mate

Just my thoughts:

In the past I've owned a Civic Jordan,Pug 205 Gti 1.9, 2x CTR's (52 plate & 06 plate Premeir) and Focus ST 2.

I've now own a 02 black/gold 172 Renault Sport its been a couple of weeks of ownership and with a change of all the engine mounts, its become the best drivers car I've ever owned. I miss the V-tec and build quality, but that is about it. When I'm driving down the fosse and I hook up one bend after another it feels great.

You have a real tidy Clio, I'd make sure your 100% sure before you make the move.

Good luck mate.

John

 

[Whiteley]

Yeah true, how old are you then :O

19 bud.

Good luck whichever route you decide on though. Any interest in yours yet?

 

[r8byb]

Not much intrest really, i think the money is going to be spent on the clio i love driving it now ive sorted my engine mount it handles so much better too it seems...

Im feeling some brakes, H&R's, and some white detailing (elf stickers on the mirrors, rear badges white, few other white stickers, nothing OTT)

 

[Guppy]

im in the same boat. realy bored with the car. fancy a change. but like otheres have said mileage is a problem when it comes to selling and mine is nearly on 56k

 

[r8byb]

Just sell me your wheels then Guppy ? lol

 

[Guppy]

lol.

 

[B16DOE]

i would put money on it that you will wish you would of spent the money on the clio it will be a special little clio then if you get a type r you will have a type r like every other one you see every day
