dovla Posted 14, March 2009 Report Posted 14, March 2009 Hey guys, After selling the *toy*, plans changed for 180%. We are staying in OZ for little bit more time. What a life huh ? So i got this the other day. Bone stock!!!!!! Here we go again with the mods.... Not my favorite color but the price was good... cheers vlad Quote
griffyn Posted 14, March 2009 Report Posted 14, March 2009 Welcome back Kotter. The RSCs wear flame red really well. Enjoy her while you've got her Quote
nisch Posted 14, March 2009 Report Posted 14, March 2009 Wow nice. Good to see you are back so soon. Coming to the Nationals? Quote
walkie86 Posted 14, March 2009 Report Posted 14, March 2009 WOW!! That was quick!! Good to see you in an RSC again, Vlad Can't wait to see another modded Flamer!! Quote
rmadrid-182 Posted 14, March 2009 Report Posted 14, March 2009 welcome back... I still have a photo of your silver car as a wallpaper on my mobile Quote
murcod Posted 14, March 2009 Report Posted 14, March 2009 That looks like a very well kept RSC Dovla and a rare colour. How many kms has it travelled and has it got ESP? Quote
dragyn Posted 15, March 2009 Report Posted 15, March 2009 RSC's are like magnets - you can't stay away Congrats on the new addition - can't wait to see what you do with this one to take it from "nice" to "wow!" Quote
dovla Posted 15, March 2009 Author Report Posted 15, March 2009 Thanks guys! Yeah i had look at other cars too, but always had RSC on back of the mind! murcod - has done 116k and has no ESP. Not as clean as my other one was but its in very good mechanical condition. Steering wheels is stuffed, MNR is asking $1300 for a new one!! So im looking for another option to fix it. As for the car i have this dark theme in mind, black 16's low and stripped interior little bit Quote
Mal172 Posted 15, March 2009 Report Posted 15, March 2009 Welcome Back Dovla saw youre old car in Adelaide the other day Bringing the new one to the drive day? Quote

dovla Posted 15, March 2009 Author Report Posted 15, March 2009 walkie i know i have already saved most of them, for future reference sure post maybe i have missed some. Mal - dont know yet for the drive day, lets just sat maybe for now. Quote
CHRIS-172 Posted 15, March 2009 Report Posted 15, March 2009 Thanks guys! Yeah i had look at other cars too, but always had RSC on back of the mind! murcod - has done 116k and has no ESP.

Want me to post some pics?? what about the ones in OZ? lOOKS SWEET DOVLA! WECOME BACK TO THE FOLD, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HER...(OR IS IT A HIM?) Quote
dovla Posted 16, March 2009 Author Report Posted 16, March 2009 I like the stock wheels in black and lowered. IMHO the turinis have been done to death! But the still look hot! Any clues how much is the postage from UK for the carbon splitter ? Send the email to ktec but no reply. But... the steering wheel is first on the list, it kills me every time i sit in the car Quote
macca197 Posted 16, March 2009 Report Posted 16, March 2009 Welcome Back! Not sure on the cost for K-tec to ship, but Paul from AutoParis quoted me $330 for one, if that helps Quote
CHRIS-172 Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 THATS ACTUALLY ONT TO BAD A PRICE, K TEC IS 110 POUNDS PLUS THEY WILL BEND YOU OVER ON POSTAGE HAVE A LOOK AT BIC FROM STREAMLINE CARBON, (EBAY UK) ITS A 2 PIECE SO IF YOU RIP IT OFF YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE 1/2 OF IT! ALSO STOP PUTTING UP PICS, IT MAKES ME WANT TO DO BAD THINGS TO MINE! Quote
walkie86 Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 ALSO STOP PUTTING UP PICS, IT MAKES ME WANT TO DO BAD THINGS TO MINE! What, like taking her off-roading with semi-slicks on?? Quote
Bremund Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 Welcome back Black looks good, maybe too good. I was just about to get the wheels repainted in white and this has thrown a spanner in the works. Quote
CHRIS-172 Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 dont go white, i have reprayed mine black jsut havnt got around to getting rubber swapped over purchased for them. If you want to see how they look in black i can bring one to the next meet? Quote
rmadrid-182 Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 dovla, OZracing Superleggras or Speedline Turinis in silver or black would look good on your 172. The black on stock 172 wheels look great too if you're on a budget. And Alex, stop tempting people to spend.. those pics of the CSnet cars are great Quote
Clio2.0 Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 Welcome back mate! Beatuiful car. Will always have the softest-spot for Flame Red PhII 172's. Quote
Bremund Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 dont go white, i have reprayed mine black jsut havnt got around to getting rubber swapped over purchased for them. If you want to see how they look in black i can bring one to the next meet? I'll defs go black now, put the standard wheels back on the car on the weekend to try and use up the Pirrelli P6000s that are on them. The P6000 are some horrible tires, grip sucks big time. And Alex, stop tempting people to spend.. those pics of the CSnet cars are great Maybe it's Alex's way of stimulating the economy. However I put my K-Tec order in before the pics! Quote
dovla Posted 17, March 2009 Author Report Posted 17, March 2009 Oz racing or turinis are awesome wheels! But my plan is little different now.. I really like idea of clio being lowered on 15's and having semi slicks! And the black is ideal color for flamer from what i see. Would love to cage it tho heh Chris have you done your wheels in black? Quote
Bremund Posted 17, March 2009 Report Posted 17, March 2009 k-TEC ORDER? SOUNDS TASTY? Yeah, just some group n engine mounts. The engine really needs to be held in better than the 7 year old stock mounts. Quote
dovla Posted 18, March 2009 Author Report Posted 18, March 2009 Modding bug has began! Got the front badge done i graphite, cut the antenna to make it shorted and got some extra dupli-color graphite paint for the wheels Feels so bad to start all over again from bone stock standard car! Quote
CHRIS-172 Posted 18, March 2009 Report Posted 18, March 2009 Modding bug has began! Got the front badge done i graphite, cut the antenna to make it shorted and got some extra dupli-color graphite paint for the wheels Feels so bad to start all over again from bone stock standard car! yeap, they are black, have no rubber since i did them so they have been sitting in the garage since.... Quote
dovla Posted 18, March 2009 Author Report Posted 18, March 2009 Wheels are getting some graphite color in the morning Pics hrmm sometimes tomorrow i guess! Quote
puncher Posted 18, March 2009 Report Posted 18, March 2009 Welcome back Dov ! Flame red. That was very nearly my choice of color when i purchased mine new. But changed my mind at the last minute. Semi slicks ? hmmm, the brand quite often thrown around on here are the 888's from Toyo. I actually asked about them through a Toyo dealer. and although they are a great tyre, their life span is minimal, and the guy reckons they only work really well when they are properly warmed up. So basically for general commuting you won't be getting their full benefits. Then again, im not sure what your driving habits are ? Id love them on my car, but not sure wether i would benefit from their performance potential as i rarely take my car anywhere near its limits. Be sure to let us know what semi slicks you get if you go that direction. As im curious what options are out there. Might see you at the local drive mate. seeing as your still an OZI for now Cheers Steve Quote
rmadrid-182 Posted 18, March 2009 Report Posted 18, March 2009 dovla, I reckon if you want the look, sanely lowered 172 with blacked OEM 172 wheels like the ones walkie86 posted .. that's nice!! Would you blacken the 2.0 litre door badge too? Quote
dovla Posted 18, March 2009 Author Report Posted 18, March 2009 Thanks puncher! This was not my choice of color, but it was the right price at the right time Black clio would be awesome i reckon. rmadrid - yeah i have seen the pics, sadly they're all 16's in UK compared to our 15's so i hope it would look similar once lowered! Off to painting now.... Quote
dovla Posted 19, March 2009 Author Report Posted 19, March 2009 Got the one done only since the spanner decided to break when taking the other wheel off! WTF? What are they made of? Anyway.. this is how it looks now. Off to Renault now for some major complaining Quote
puncher Posted 19, March 2009 Report Posted 19, March 2009 he he. No doubt about ya Dovla. entertainment value. Dont forget to paint those callipers red Cheers Steve Quote
Mase Posted 19, March 2009 Report Posted 19, March 2009 Bloody hell Vlad..man that is the quickest trun around on OZrs ever an for some time...............I imagine. See you soon. BTW will be at AAA prob next week again fitting a new centre res as the Aero cracked - weld was linshed too much during manufacture... I have some odd ideas brewing Quote
dovla Posted 19, March 2009 Author Report Posted 19, March 2009 Yeah planes changed slightly for now so i had to have another car, and which one ? Well thats too obvious Oh exhaust, wish i had kept some of the things from the TOY!!! Quote
Mase Posted 19, March 2009 Report Posted 19, March 2009 See should have sold them to me and I would still have them sitting in the shed Quote
nisch Posted 19, March 2009 Report Posted 19, March 2009 Looks quite nice. Makes me think of how boring the standard silver alloy colour looks now! Quote
CHRIS-172 Posted 19, March 2009 Report Posted 19, March 2009 good turn around dovla! if you want i could possibly put one of the black 172 wheels on and give you an idea of how they look compared to my enkeis? Quote
dovla Posted 20, March 2009 Author Report Posted 20, March 2009 Yeah i think they look good. Cant wait to finish rest of them. Bought a new wrench for the wheels, and this look like from a truck so hopefully it wont brake Chris, if you get a chance post the pics would love to see how they came out. Quote
walkie86 Posted 20, March 2009 Report Posted 20, March 2009 Looks much better already Dov! Can't wait to see them all done Quote
dovla Posted 20, March 2009 Author Report Posted 20, March 2009 Finally done, bloody hell it was hot today! While waiting for the wheels to dry between the coats decided to have a crack at the rear badge too Kudos to my gf for helping me out big time today, she did all the masking for the wheels and the badge!! No wonder i have a ring for her :) Comments more then welcome cheer vlad Quote
rmadrid-182 Posted 20, March 2009 Report Posted 20, March 2009 pretty sexy car there dovla.. well done!!! Quote
puncher Posted 20, March 2009 Report Posted 20, March 2009 Comments Vlad ??? I reckon your G/F done a great job ! Cheers Steve Quote
Mase Posted 20, March 2009 Report Posted 20, March 2009 Where's the grass gone dovla? Car looks cool. I always wanted to do that but never did. Quote
dovla Posted 20, March 2009 Author Report Posted 20, March 2009 Thanks guys! Yup she did amazing job really! Not a single over spray anywhere!! All masked pretty damn good! Mase - i know it sucks with no grass, but no mortgage is much better. Old man is waiting for the summer to finish before we do the grass (which looks like its finished anyway). Quote
puncher Posted 20, March 2009 Report Posted 20, March 2009 So whats the customised number plate going to be this time ? Exhaust ? Remus again ? Callipars ? Red again ? maybe yellow ? Red engine cover ? Cheers Steve Quote
dovla Posted 21, March 2009 Author Report Posted 21, March 2009 Steve, doubt ill do much more on the car. Only 2" drop and thats pretty much it. Quote
puncher Posted 21, March 2009 Report Posted 21, March 2009 2" drop ? how are you going to go about that ? Ive recently bought some stock springs from a forum member and plan on doing a drop also. havent decided on how low, but 40mm on the back and 30mm on the front is the current plan. Cheers Steve Quote
