The Clio Hybrids replacement...

[dan-hipgrave]

Picked up my new car today...





Pictures really dont do this car justice - the way the paint flips in the sunlight in awesome! Its just had a pretty much full respray and is the mintest car im ever likely to own.

Speed wise its a completely different league to the Hybrid, and the sound of the turbo spooling up and then the wastegate chatter is soo cool, i was grinning all of the 200mile drive home

Engine spec so far is fairly basic - HKS airfilter, sheepdog BOV, full stainless mongoose system from turbo back (2.5" pipe all the way ending in a 5" backbox - fooking loud!) Looking to fit coilovers and possibly a FMIC when funds allow...

Opinions?

love these cars, however, i hope its been well looked after or else you will be having a hefty repair bill for a gearbox and engine rebuild!

It's very orange nearly bought one of these a few years ago....like the looks not keen on the decals though

Yeh its been looked after all right, the previous 2 owners treated it as if it were one of their children! The guy i got it off was pretty upset at having to sell it, i cant blame him really, its just so mint - still got the original nissan umbrella and emergency flare!

It drove the 200mile journey home without fault, oil temp/pressure and water temp were all fine, no fluid lost. Only bad side is the petrol consumption - i had to fill up twice!

More pics tommorrow when ive cleaned the engine bay and interior!

I dont normally like cars with decals either Martin, always take the piss and call them shopping lists, but i think these are gonna stay, theres nothing i wanna change with the styling..
