Safetyman Posted 16, January 2015 Report Posted 16, January 2015 Hi guys, I've been a little slow posting my arrival. You'll see my little guy on the Northside of Sydney normally. 2 Quote
Safetyman Posted 17, January 2015 Author Report Posted 17, January 2015 Liquid Gold. I'm just guessing that's the acronym that everybody seems to be using for Liquid Gold. Initially had me wondering what the hell a Korean electronics manufacturer had to do with our cars. Aside from the MediaNav. Oh Crap... Just realised, it's Liquid Yellow. And now I can't edit the name of the topic. What a dumb a***! Quote

stng.renault Posted 18, January 2015 Report Posted 18, January 2015 Beautiful! I want to get a Clio for my wife so I can have one. Apparently, owning an RS265 and a Clio for myself is not reasonable Go figure! Welcome to the fold. Quote
Safetyman Posted 18, January 2015 Author Report Posted 18, January 2015 Thanks for the welcome! And it must be a chick thing. I just showed my wife and she thought it wasn't reasonable too. Me, I think for practicality reasons it would be best to have both, as some car spaces in the city can be very tight so it's best practice to have the right tool for the job. Quote
stng.renault Posted 19, January 2015 Report Posted 19, January 2015 Absolutely! It's about practicality. Quote
Safetyman Posted 21, January 2015 Author Report Posted 21, January 2015 Absolutely. Even better with anthracite 18"s Quote
Safetyman Posted 22, January 2015 Author Report Posted 22, January 2015 Yes, yes....... that's absolutely what I meant 1 Quote
wi1co Posted 22, January 2015 Report Posted 22, January 2015 welcome mate you will never be bored with staring at it in the sun. i still forget about the sheer brilliance of this colour because i'm in the car lots, or when i park it, i just walk away busy with what needs done. it should be Liquid Gold imo 1 Quote
onpole01 Posted 25, January 2015 Report Posted 25, January 2015 Welcome safety man and great car and color. Hopefully see you on the north side too ☺ Quote
Moosey Posted 29, January 2015 Report Posted 29, January 2015 Oh Crap... Just realised, it's Liquid Yellow. And now I can't edit the name of the topic. What a dumb a***! Fixed Quote

Luna-tic Posted 30, January 2015 Report Posted 30, January 2015 The anthracite wheels look amazing, I'm a big fan of the colour/rims combo. Welcome to the fold! Quote
Safetyman Posted 17, February 2015 Author Report Posted 17, February 2015 I was asked the question yesterday and not sure if I answered about what have I owned so far. In starting order: 1979 KE55 corolla - first car and first stereo VL commodore - biggest stereo and cut off Springs that would fall out over large potholes Hyundai excel - first new car and first track car. Don't scoff, it was happily lapping Wakefield in 1.17. 1989 Mazda MX5 - my first real track car which spent almost every weekend for a year at supersprints. Had a towbar and trailer for my jack and track wheels. Toyota RAV4 - grumpy girlfriend didn't like the MX. Nuff said! 1998 Mazda MX5- ended up supercharged. Bloody awesome!! (girlfriend dumped) 1993 Subaru liberty wagon - converted it myself to an RS after buying an imported front cut. Wife didn't like the fuel consumption so it went. Nissan bluebird, Suzuki grand vital xl7, VW golf, Honda integra, Honda accord euro - all during daddy day care period. Quiet time. VW Polo tdi - quick little tractor VW Polo GTI - needed a petrol car Skoda Octavia VRS - still have her, awesome car. Best all rounder. Ever. Clio IV RS - Rocky back to my smile as I drive days. That covers my personal cars. Work wise: Hilux Ute's, land cruisers, Nissan patrols, Mitsubishi pajeros, Holden rodeos, Holden commodore v6/8, falcon 6/v8, Toyota camry (4/v6/hybrid), prius, tarago, Kluger, Calais, caprice, Subaru tribeca, forester, VW passat, multivan and currently in a VW cc which I should still be in for another 2 years.

walkie86 Posted 17, February 2015 Report Posted 17, February 2015 Love those anthracite rims!!! Quote
DOOOOK Posted 18, February 2015 Report Posted 18, February 2015 1993 Subaru liberty wagon - converted it myself to an RS after buying an imported front cut. Wife didn't like the fuel consumption so it went. Hang on, the wife went or the Liberty went??? Quote
Safetyman Posted 18, February 2015 Author Report Posted 18, February 2015 Girlfriend went. Black MX arrived and hooked the new girlfriend who went on to become the wife. I built the liberty so she could keep up on club runs with the kids. Fuel bill arrived.....Twice weekly.... Liberty went. Wife stayed. 2 Quote
RockArd Posted 19, February 2015 Report Posted 19, February 2015 I didn't think the 18" anthracite rims were an option? Did you upgrade them on a sport or change them from the black on a Cup? Either way, that's the combo im after. Quote
lenus Posted 19, February 2015 Report Posted 19, February 2015 +1 those anthracite wheels look tits. I've been wondering if the anthracite would look alright on the stock 17's of the clio... Nice car too! Quote
Safetyman Posted 19, February 2015 Author Report Posted 19, February 2015 I didn't think the 18" anthracite rims were an option? Did you upgrade them on a sport or change them from the black on a Cup? I upgraded them onto my Sport. I wanted the ride to be halfway between the Sport and the Cup. +1 those anthracite wheels look tits. I've been wondering if the anthracite would look alright on the stock 17's of the clio... I agree there. I think the colour is better matched with the other grey accents that are on the car (lower door trims, front and rear splitter). Seeing as the LY gets the black door handles I just thought it was overly black. Needed some contrast. Quote
Hsantos Posted 22, February 2015 Report Posted 22, February 2015 How much did it cost you for the upgrade? Quote
Safetyman Posted 22, February 2015 Author Report Posted 22, February 2015 $750. Why wouldn't you?!?!? Quote
Hsantos Posted 22, February 2015 Report Posted 22, February 2015 Wow! Thats a bargain mate! Looks better than the glossy black.. Quote
onpole01 Posted 22, February 2015 Report Posted 22, February 2015 Bargain! IMO they'd probably sell more sports if you could option 18s but in their defence I can see why keeping them for the cup only makes sense too. Quote
