My LY R27...

Right I've been on here a couple of months now and thought it was time to say hello and put a few pics up of my Clio. I used to own an 182FF but decided i wanted something a bit bigger and quicker, so I bought an Astra VXR. I loved the Astra and had it running EDS Stage 3 @ 320bhp. But I get bored very easily with cars and decided on going back to a Clio.

So I joined the forum and contacted Steve Murr about sourcing an R27. Within a couple of weeks Steve got back to me and said he had a mint LY R27 for me. So that Saturday I took the very very long trip from Runcorn to Kent, the Clio was exactly how Steve had described and I was a very happy chappy :thumbup: The drive home was excellent!!

So a big thanks to Steve for his help. I have no plans to mod(as of yet anyway!). I just want to enjoy the car for how it is. The handling is amazing!!

Excuse how filthy the car is, I was at Birchdown Auto Services the other day. The country roads leading to there are a dream in the Clio. So it got a little dirty, will clean her at the weekend.

Anyway here's a few pics of my old Vixer and a few of the R27.......

Andy you seen the light mate fantastic motor you now have
Love LY:cloud9::cloud9:
 
Nice cars, i bet you feel the power difference from the Astra though :worried: Were you on vxronline?

I can feel the power difference, but the petrol gauge doesn't go as down quick in the Clio though lol. Yeah was on VXRO, sold the Astra to a fellow member on there so it went to a good home.
 
fantastic car mate. Astra looks good as well. UIt must have been a step (or two steps lol) down power wise but I'm sure that handling compensates big time!
 
Lovely colour :thumbup: but not the best for keeping clean in this weather i'd assume :rofl:
 
Welcome to the site!

Astra looks tidy but the LY paint is the best! You chose well!
 
Lovely car andy

Cheers Dave! Yeah head round mine whenever you like mate. Gave the Clio a good clean the other day, thought the paintwork was alright until I went over it with a clay bar. Couldn't believe how bad it was!! Its like glass now though :smile:

No doubt it will be filthy again in a couple of weeks so a spring clean sounds like a good idea mate!!
