Picked her up Saturday morning and spent the afternoon driving it like it was supposed to be driven.
It is sublime!
More refined than the Clio, quieter inside, well made.
OK so maybe it is a little less chuckable than the clio was, not as raw etc. etc. but it's a lot more stable at speed and the LSD works wonders!
Recaro's FANTASTIC! really nice place to be inside overall to be honest.
Brembo's will rip your face off if you stamp on them lol.
'Mods' so far....
-New wipers
-£40 of petrol
-Silvervisions
-LED number plate bulbs
Plans to come:
-Health check from BTM
-Engine oil change with minor service (filters etc)
-Exhaust mount
-Gear box oil change
-Brake Fluid change
Future plans:
-Megane 250 steering wheel if thats possible
-Exhaust from BTM
-Braided lines
-DS 2500 Pads
-Wheels refurbed
-Two new hankook V12's
-TPI polorized wheel nuts
-HID's maybe, I do miss how bright the clio's lights where in comparrison.
-Maybe some lowering springs
-Remap Stage 1
Coments on plans?

Yeah Steven the silver isnt as bright in real life looks 100times better than the horrible dull oil stained silver it was before.
Engine bay has a long way to go untill it's how I want it, ned to find out how to stop the back bit sagging, get some stuff chromed etc etc.
