walkie86 Posted 17, March 2011 Report Share Posted 17, March 2011 Welcome! Brad is right - Clios like to be nice and warmed up before they work properly... What colour have you got and where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamR Posted 18, March 2011 Report Share Posted 18, March 2011 Welcome to OZRS, how long have you had the R27? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian-Bstar Posted 18, March 2011 Report Share Posted 18, March 2011 Bluie's other top Clio tip is to check the wheels are on properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted 19, March 2011 Report Share Posted 19, March 2011 Howdy, and as above: - pics - colour and details - location especially, not actual address required, just a city or state would be friendly. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r27clio Posted 28, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 28, March 2011 Hello again Thank you all for the kind welcome. Speaking of wheels I actually ordered a full size wheel as a spare separately and used a little 300kg rated ratchet to tie it down in the boot. The tyre in a can was a bit un-nerving! Would It be possible to email someone willing enough the photos, to put up for me? I cant seem to be able to work out how to do it Do you need something similar to a photobucket account? Its red and on the south coast, had it just near 3 months now and it was going quite odd at first untill I looked closer and noticed it had not been serviced 8 months before delivery as it was a demo. That was the cause of the issues in my first post . It is warming to see everyone gets along and there is a nice welcoming manner on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r27clio Posted 28, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 28, March 2011 A big thank you to Adrian for posting those up, champion Im actually quite surprised how well photos off of phones come out these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 28, March 2011 Report Share Posted 28, March 2011 Imageshack or photobucket for pics. Put them in there, then copy and paste the link. On post reply there are some icons to add if that helsp get you link up. Usually photo sites have them ready to go in there links. Hope you didn't pay too much for the rim, drop me an email next time to see what i can do for you. I'm curious, is south coast SA?

r27clio Posted 28, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 28, March 2011 Thanks wolf and greenleaf Thanks again for the offer too wolf I appreciate it, i think the wheel was about $700 off the top of my head with rubber. I mean south coast NSW though, I didnt think too far ahead on that one, all over there must be hundreds of "south coasts". Everywhere is the south coast from Darwin!

Wolf Posted 28, March 2011 Report Share Posted 28, March 2011 Christ!!! $700. Yeah, see me next time. Having said that, your ride is soooo helping me lean towards my next car being a 197/R27. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r27clio Posted 29, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 29, March 2011 I had a feeling that price may have been pushing it, but i did have it delivered which may have added a bit to the cost. For anyone worried that the r27 may be too harsh, it is firm yes, but it is not crashy at all. Almost as if there is endless travel in the suspension, it rides very well actually. The seats are worth it alone but make sure you try them first as any larger people may have trouble fitting in the base as it holds very tight. The normal clio sport would be it if the roads in your area are excessively rutted with unavoidable potholes and are more 4wd track than road, but the suspension and seats in the r27 are worth it alone, have not had the chance to really push the brakes on the r27 but they are effortless. Its a real joy to drive, and easy too. Theres only two on carsales currently I think. I am surprised at the quality of the interior though, sure it is not very fancy and techy, but it has everything you really need and is made of good quality materials. Do not have any rattles yet.

Wolf Posted 29, March 2011 Report Share Posted 29, March 2011 Headlights and tail lights to mod... and even then, that's only if you really want to. Surprised how much i like this in red. Cheers...again, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 31, March 2011 Report Share Posted 31, March 2011 Welcome mate. The Sydney crew head south a few times a year for a drive. Hope to catch you on a run some time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
