Time to start a project thread about my 4th Clio... A RenaultSport Ph1 Clio 172.
My plan first is to run it over winter to make sure it doesn't break down every 2 miles, then...
- Stealth system (are there any options other than ktec?) or an Oreca? system, as I like the "pea-shooter" look
- Wheel refurb to make them mint (may go another colour or may keep the clean standard look, unsure yet - will probably try to source another set at some point, so that I can have the standards, then a set that are another colour)
- Detailing sesh (may be done sooner, rather than later though)
- New, clean plates (ill get these done in the next month or so, as the rear does my head in. 3/4 front, standard rear)
- Coilies, get some proper lowzz - im not sure whether springs would cut it??
- Bit o' strippage, if I fancy it, as it's not like I need back seats
- +10bhp CS stickers - DONE
- Cup Spoiler
Ill see where it takes me though... If it breaks alot, then none of the above will happen and ill just use it as a cheap, s**t runabout. If I get attached, then things may get really interesting...

Ill be using this thread to keep everyone up to date with goings on and for asking questions about the car.
My first priority is to make it mint and get everything working.
Things to sort:
- Exhaust blowing (wanted a stainless system anyway, so this factor didn't bother me too much)
- Airbag light on - This is supposed to be to do with one of the connections underneath the drivers seat I believe. Easy fix according to Gray Motorsport
- Tracking needs doing - Simples.
- New steering wheel - Current one is melted to high hell and is quite sticky in places, so want this replacing sooner rather than later. I want a standard one, but im guessing mint ones are few and far between, due to the same issue.
After the above, I need to sort out a dint in the drivers door and then we're pretty much on the way to making it mint!!
Im hoping that this turns into quite an interesting project and we'll hopefully see some big changes by the time CSS '12 comes along
