Exclusive No. 144

[Jake-ere-1993]

Well the other month I brought a Cliosport Exclusive 172, No. 144. Pretty much standard when I brought it except for K&N and the exhaust system.

I have had the Turbines off my old Valver refurbed black and fitted coilovers yesterday.

Pics....

Feedback welcome

Looks nice, don't see many about. You need to get rid of that exhaust. Get a stealth back box, and new fresh plates IMO.

Nice though!

IMO id have the standard exclusive wheels on there. These are getting rare now keep hold of it!

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Plates were ordered today so they'll be here by end of the week.

Next thing will be tyres and then considering a new exhaust. Just kept this on for now as wanted wheels done and coilovers first.

Quite keen on the idea of a ph2 rear bumper when I get bumpstrips and door handles colour coded.

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Was never keen on the Exclusive alloys personally so they went onto my Valver and I had these.

 

[Šįk]

Not usually a fan of those wheels but that looks really good!

 

[couzens]

Get a stealth exhaust system, looks so much cleaner.

Ph2 bumper suits the Scarab Green, Im not normaly a fan of putting the ph2 bumpers on, But It does look sweet on an Exclusive.

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Any particular systems recommended? Yeah just a case of get some money together then I'll just get all the paint work done together.

 

[couzens]

Ktec do a stealth system but they're expensive. I had a pattern part back box from euro carparts. Had less baffles than a Renault one, half the price and sounded great with a decat. Hidden from view aswell.

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Shall look into it. Think I want to get the colour coding and rear bumper done first then see how I'm feeling. Had a straight through decat system on my Valver and it's quite nice having a quieter system ahaha. Neighbours like it too!

 

[alexr19]

i love these, really like the turbines on it too

 

[UKBraderz]

IMO lose the turbines & exhaust & it'll look even more awesome!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

As i said in the Ph1AT this is superb.

Turbines look sublime on these! I'd put a cup spoiler on that and maybe space the wheels 15mm at the front and 10mm at the rear..

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Had to lift the front up a bit as the driveshafts were rubbing on the shell. As for spacing, I don't have the room to fit spacers on the rear, could just about get 10mm on the front.

Thanks for all the feedback though. This is my 4th car and the happiest I've ever been with a car!

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Maybe be on the hunt for the spoiler as well. Now when's pay day....?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Whats the mileage on it? Looks fresh as.

I just sold Exclusive number 2 with 127k on the clock

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

109,000

mate brought it with a gearbox failure, he had the gearbox refurbed, cambelt, water pump, clutch all done on it and then got it MOT'd, paid a grand for it.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Superb buy. I'd have another one no problem!

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Yeah they're awesome cars! I had 2 w reg 1.2's and then a Valver and this is easily the best of the bunch. Did love my Valver though!

 

[Stu.]

Looks good Jake, Very tidy. Must say though, New plates, Space the front and some clear side repeaters + silver visions will make a massive difference for not alot of monies!

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Plates ordered ready, pretty sure I have some silvertec bulbs on a draw somewhere. My shopping list is getting longer and longer!

 

[Stu.]

My shopping list is getting longer and longer!

It never gets shorter, Trust me haha

 

[Richyy182]

I love it. Looks really good as is.

 

[JonnyGee]

phase 2 lights really refresh the rear on these

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

​OK so finally sorted my life out and fitted the new plates I got about a month ago! Next thing on the list is tyres, going to go for some Yokohama Parada Spec 2
Anyway, couple of pictures, enjoy.....

 

[jesus]

Looking good

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Thanks mate

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

​Well that's another £200 spent on her.... ordered a set of Yoko Parada Spec 2 Performance Tyres

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

So I ordred a tow ring which just arrived.... I like it, just a little touch Have an engine cover on its way, didn't have one when I brought the car. Hopefully if weather stays half decent, can get the engine and interior plastics painted up at the weekend.

A little front end shot with the ring in....

 

[jesus]

Subtle.

Bought.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks epic on the turbs.

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Looks epic on the turbs.

Cheers Still waiting for the centre caps to come back.

So the new shoes have arrived and been fitted, wheels balanced and the tracking done

Got an engine cover off ebay, this is what I'm planning....

With the black and silver but I'm going to do the actual cover itself in the Scarab Green. That's all for now until I find a money tree.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

That tow hook

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Done the bay work yesterday, just tied it up a little Needs a good clean in there!

 

[andywa]

Nice and subtle!

 

[jesus]

Liking the engine bay.

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Cheers won't be getting much done now till probably after FCS apart from maybe a few little bits and bobs. Need to save for my holiday so it's going to have to be put on the shelf. I wanted the supersport stealth system from Ktec next.
