nemz Posted 29, March 2012 Report Share Posted 29, March 2012 Welcome Peter! Wow, $5K buys some serious mods. How does the car feel now compared to stock? Also, did you get lightweight door inserts by any chance? I'd like to see them in person before considering them for my track car. Pics when you get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLIO82 Posted 30, March 2012 Author Report Share Posted 30, March 2012 Hi, My Lil Clio 02 172 had 160klms on it when i bought it, Now 180klms lol had to drive 2.5hrs to work every day 6 days for 3months of its ownership to me so far. The Original owner serviced regularly more than the recommened with basic oils filters but unless the part broke the old owner never replaced it not a car enthuisest (if thats spelt right) . Have all service records for car purchased and serviced at waitara. 2 owner car although 2nd owner panicked when the car was missing and he only drove 1200klms and had for 6months so he never really owned it lol. Ended up being something with either the plugs leads or coil so i just ebayed all three bad i know but that was first afternoon. I have just recently changed to Coilovers the Raceland Cheap one although not bad not bumpy others will argue lol. I changed all the bushes purple ones for the whisbone,sway bar and dogbone, I also changed the standard upper top mounts/bushes with ktec solid ones, Lower gearbox mount just as a refresh, Upper solid ktec gearbox mount (standard was broken), New inner and outer tie-rod ends, new steering rack boots replaced both(1 was cracked), New ball joints again just to freshen up also. I Replaced all bolts with hardened new bolts where they got lost which was a pain lol I also re-greased all bearings/locktite etc, and re-cleaned everything just to be picky Heaps of things like new tyres etc can say each bit but heaps of normal things that where neglected or scracthed.

Wolf Posted 5, April 2012 Report Share Posted 5, April 2012 Hi Peter, Welcome aboard. Looking forward to the pics. Would have been happy to help you import the KTEC bits, as it is cheaper through me generally to do so. But the end result is what matters...so consider me at the edge of my seat. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
