Default Our 172 Clio Sport

Bought from Gary Hurne after I saw it for sale on this forum a year or so ago.

Not done much to it, just lots of trackdays and loads of road miles and no need for spanners so far really!





Recently we fitted some ds2500 brakes and some new cup dampers (already had eibach springs) which has just finished off the already good handling and braking nicely.

Then the mrs decided to fit an RS2 inlet manifold.






And since then has tidied it all up a bit:


And again closer:



Not a lot else to tell really, cracking little car, love the way its comfy for a 400 mile round trip with nice seats and aircon etc and yet also great on track, such an epic little all rounder.

If you are thinking of getting one, I strongly recomend you do so
