It's now home in Adelaide, doing 7.8l/100 ,averaging 101 kph, and is side by side in the stable with the black Cup,which I'm holding $1000 deposit on with Phil, our next Newbie. I'M STOKED!.Now for all the saved up good bits to go on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murcod Posted 29, June 2007 Report Share Posted 29, June 2007 Finally! Another Clio that stands out like the proverbial for SA drive days. Looks very nice Pete. Would be good to get a pic of your new one next to mine- a mirror image sort of shot, but with the blue and orange. When does the black one depart your garage?

I'm crossing my fingers and not saying any more until I'm sure... (actually I think it's a few more than that, but the first 2 digits are the same). Stupid slow freight from Qld.

murcod Posted 29, June 2007 Report Share Posted 29, June 2007 Mine's just turned up 12000km - I've done under 4000km since buying October last year. One of the joys of having a second vehicle to drive to work- you don't rack up lots of km's on the "good" car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emu Posted 30, June 2007 Author Report Share Posted 30, June 2007 Dom, that orange 225 is a ballbreaker! Nah Dan,keeping her pretty much standard, got the ubeaut exhaust on already, will gradually fit my waiting DS2500's, braideds,intake,seat harness etc Might have a look at a couple of handling bits, adjustable rear bar etc.............decided not to run with the camber pins, as you can only get about another 1/2 degree, and Steve thinks that's a waste of time I don't intend doing any track work, just a few Hillclimbs which are very easy on your car (and me, the hammer and tack's not good) and Ravi, I think Phil's picking up the pearl black on Wed.........that's a bloody good car bought cheap, goes a lot harder than the orange, I guess due partly to the very low mileage, and the piddly way the orange has been driven,computer memory and all that..........soon to be fixed with some spirited driving!! ho ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted 30, June 2007 Author Report Share Posted 30, June 2007 Hey Mase, talking about drive days, ....Collingrove's on next weekend, the 8th,...........I'm going to run the orange up the hill, any chance of a club run??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emu Posted 1, July 2007 Author Report Share Posted 1, July 2007 He really believes his own Press, doesn't he, .........putting the price up even further............maybe if he doesn't drive it anymore, and keeps it for another 20 years, he might get his price, .............yes it's the same vehicle and bloke again, different plates, and no, it definitely isn't an F1, he was taken for a ride if you believe his story I guess you never know, there might be some lunatic out there with more gazump than grey, ..............chances would be better in Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rup11e Posted 1, July 2007 Report Share Posted 1, July 2007 Yeah hey if you wanna get a really low k example and money means absolutely nothing at all to you then yeah ... but seriously the RSC is not a car for buying and putting in a agarage only to be taken out washed and returned ... its a car for driving goddammit!

emu Posted 5, July 2007 Author Report Share Posted 5, July 2007 Don't really know yet, Gambit, the standard Cup is quicker up the hill than the modified 172, so I might pass on the Unichip Unless of course some real competition rolls up.............then................maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted 10, July 2007 Author Report Share Posted 10, July 2007 It was raining in Melbourne when I bought the Orange ,and the weather here has been absolutely filthy since I bought it home, so after the Hillclimb Sunday, I finally got a clear day today to wash the car, and guess what,..... it's vitually unmarked ! I am absolutely stoked, it's just like a brand new car..............there's the tiniest dimple near the drivers doorhandle, you need a microscope to find it.........and the tiniest stonechip leading edge of the bonnet which I could have done driving it home, ........well done James, you looked after it superbly. I'm in love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade Posted 16, July 2007 Report Share Posted 16, July 2007 Well done mate, it's an absolute corker. I wouldn't write off the camber pins so easy. I got another -1.5 and could have got more out of my pins from Pedders. Took the old red car for one last drive before I exchanged on sunday and the camber pins really make a significant difference IMHO. Anyway....all the best mate. PS I still need to talk to you about that exhaust mod....... I'll PM you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted 16, July 2007 Author Report Share Posted 16, July 2007 Thanks Wade, I need to talk to you about the camber pins, but it's off topic, so I'll PM you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
