For Sale Clio 172 track Car - Spares or Repair

[spurs fan in a coupe]

As title,

I have had the engine replaced after my fellow owner (and just about still friend) blew the clutch/engine my changing from 5th to 1st whilst on a track day.

Replacement engine sourced from Tim Finch, fitted and running well.

Next track day gearbox (again a replacement from 172 cup) blew.

Time to cut my losses.

On eBay 99p genuinely no reserve.

Cash on Collection only from Woking, Surrey.

Lots on nice extras
MOTed for a month
Engine recently replaced from reliable source
Sits on Eibach Federn XQ springs
Braided brake hoses fitted
ToyoSports stainless steel back box (cat fitted)
Ferodo DS2500 brakes fitted

Negatives

Sad to hear that mate, thought you were having fun with this project?

I was mate, to be honest my mate blew it up, we went halves on the repair, then on my next track session the gearbox went.

He has lost interest, I have 3 kids and no money, time to break free.

VERY tempted by a 3.0 Z4 as another toy, but maybe going halves with my dad instead.

Like the sound of your dad mate, as for the other stuff, should have kept it in your trousers.....

I know, contraception is under-rated!

As for teh old man, he has just sent his MKII Escort's head away fr a 60BHP upgrade, but I hate driving it, I can't afford to crash it!

The 2.8 on my drive is a tempting track project, but crosses the breaking line!

That sounds like a great idea but yep, it all costs.
Got any photos of the old mans car?

At the Track











As my wedding car (I arrived in it - in fact I drove it - she would never get in it!)

Like that......

I can understand why you are to scared to trash your old mans toy. If you still have your coupe Andy just enjoy that. You have wifey and kids seen the pics can't get better but maybe just be gentle with your dads toy I'm sure with your breakers you can do something in the long term.

Sorry to hear the fun car is toast Andy, like dad's car, man what a wedding car, my brother had his Mk 2 Cortina 1600E, but maybe you can put these on the back burner for a few years. Yes, I know that sounds like a life time but it'll be here sooner than you think. Enjoy those babies mate, they're the future. Take care mate.

Tony.
