2004 Racing Blue Clio 182

[Ricardo]

Merely testing the water, not fussed if it doesn't sell but at this moment in time it doesn't feature highly in what i want to do with things

Taxed till end of April 2013
MOT till November 2013
2 keys

A fair bit of history, the last chap owned it for 5 years and always had it serviced and MOT'd at Renault. He bought it off a mate who worked for Renault. I've owned it since March and in that time it's wanted for nothing with either genuine Renault parts (invoices) or new, quality aftermarket parts.

54 plate Racing Blue Renault Clio 182 just clocked 89k with both cup packs

Modifications:
Spax RSX coilovers bought new in June 2012
Whiteline rear anti roll bar
Anthracite Speedline 2118 wheels with Michelin tyres all round
15mm A centric spacers on front, 5mm spacers on rear
Milltek stainless steel exhaust with decat
K Tec Racing carbon fibre front splitter
Streamline carbon fibre door bullets
Alpine headunit with I Pod connection, Alpine front door speakers
Renault Sport mats
Suspension geometry set by Matt from CodeRed Motorsport

SO MUCH WANT!!!!:cry:

If I say so myself, this car is awesome!!!

[GT Josh]

Sweet Clio. Wheel porn :D

[Mart]

Hero car :agree:

[James5]

Rich, that is one very nice looking and well setup clio. Good luck with the sale :agree:

[Ricardo]

Appreciate the comments

Few more things

Always, ALWAYS run on Shell V power

Cambelt has been done twice wihin 6 months as a new dephaser was fitted, work done by Fred at BTM in Birmingham.

Just pointing out that the spec on these are as follows:

Auto headlights
Auto wipers
Xenon headlights with 6k bulbs
ESP
Cruise control
Climate control
AC
Leather/Alanctra seats in good condition
Steering wheel still in decent nick with good thumb grips

[r5_scotty]

looks fantastic:agree: shame your thinking of selling.

[Goobie]

That is one tidy motor you got there Ric ski! Your have no trouble shifting that, personally you should keep it and get it turbo'd! :cool:

[w35ty]

LOVE it! I want a clio aswell! Wish i had the funds..

[Ricardo]

Just to say that for the £3500 asking price it includes the set of OZ F1 wheels I use for trackdays.

Option B is to buy the clio with the OZ F1 wheels fitted for £3100

Option C is remove the Whiteline RARB, fitted OZ F1 wheels and pay £3000

[Ricardo]

Due to personal developments over the weekend I have now made the executive decision to sell, it will go on Cliosport in the next 24-36 hours so if anyone from here is interested feel free to PM me.

I stand by the price as I feel the mechanical spec and cosmetic condition reflects it fairly

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

:(
Good luck with the sale Ric.

Cheers Matt, its time to move on, not by choice but the house is going on the market. Earlier than expected but its something that was always going to happen.

It certainly is a nice colour Ben, it's now advertised on Cliosport so we'll see what happens. It will be a wrench to let it go and still not 100% sure but ideally a more practical bigger car would help or a cheaper 172 to release some funds

[Ricardo]

A chap from Tunbridge willing to pick it up this weekend :(

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Anyone I know?

[Ricardo]

Someone from Cliosport near Crowborough, messaged me asking what tyres on the OZs and if there's negotiations on the price as he'd come up this weekend to buy

Something that can be sorted?

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

With a bit of code-red input yes...! ;)

[Ricardo]

With a bit of code-red input yes...! ;)

There are a few lights on the dash as you would expect from things that have been removed i.e.
ABS (does not have abs)
Oil Light (Oil pressure is perfect, due to ABS pump not being present)
Battery light (again, charging perfectly @ 14.7v, due to ABS pump not being present)
Handbrake light (Kangoo does not use the same "switch on the lever" setup as the clio)


Are these the problems.... Copy and pasted from the ad

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Yep, that's the ones he listed on CS too. Strangely hasn't sold there either.:scratch:

[Ricardo]

SOLD :cry:

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Hope it's gone to a better home than the white one....:(

[Ricardo]

It looks like its going to a better home, a young chap who's brother has a 182 as well. I need to pop over to yours sometime this week for an oil change if that's ok, I have the parts with me

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Anytime bud.;)

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

[Ricardo]

Paid for and driven away
