msnismo Posted 23, February 2014 Report Share Posted 23, February 2014 Hi all I'm Anna and I have been a registered member for 1.5 years but never posted. Usually just lurking around the tech pages when I need to find some info. Bit of background is I am a car nut, raised by my mechanic father, live with a mechanic and have a need to race at the track. My father also made me do the Automotive course (He was an Automotive TAFE teacher until he retired recently).I also own a R33 Skyline with 490rwkws, and the other half has a wildly modifed R32 GTR and an Evolution Pajero. I bought my 2002 RS 172 in late 2012 as a daily driver. It had two previous owners and full logbooks, receipts, original sales paperwork and both keys. My other half (although he works on race cars for a living) has maintained this since I bought it as if it was one of the race cars. ) Exhaust Bilstein coilovers and pillow tops (set to sightly lower than standard, just in case I take it to the track one day) Having driven a highly modified Skyline for years, the Clio Sport has impressed me with its handling and zippiness around town. Unless I am going on a Skyline cruise/event or a track day, I rarely grab the keys to it anymore and I am always using the Clio for around town. I am a convert, and I'll be selling this one shortly to upgrade to a newer model The below photo is a quick photo taken on my phone https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/64104_550557388308768_1672490327_n.jpg' alt='64104_550557388308768_1672490327_n.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homerlovesbeer Posted 23, February 2014 Report Share Posted 23, February 2014 I add my welcome also. The Iceberg silver Clio's look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msnismo Posted 23, February 2014 Author Report Share Posted 23, February 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome guys (and girls) and I will definitely see if I can get myself to one of the Pizza cruises. Not sure on the which later model Clio I will be going for, I need to do some research first and drive a couple, although it will be 2012 or earlier. For those who are asking about the wheels, they are 949 Racing (Model is 6UL). I will get some photos of all our cars up in the Garage section over the next week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
