So after owning numerous French hot hatches over the years, a 106 rallye, 205 Gti, 306 gti, 306 rallye, 172s, 172 cup, LY 182 I then went down the RWD road and had a E46 M3 for a of couple years. I've just sold that to free up some money so I've bought a Clio 197 F1, mainly for weekend use and I'm hoping to get to a few track days in it as well but being in Cornwall it's not a short trip for me!
Anyway onto the car, it's been owned from new by the same family, only 67k with full history. It's very clean for the year and well looked after although there's already bits I'm planning on sorting on it.
It seemed to be taking a few to many turns to start so I've tried cleaning up the tdc sensor which didn't help so I've ordered a new one from Renault. Next on the list is a cambelt change which I'm hoping to take up to Dan at SJM.
I've also got an issue with the dash trims where it looks like it's been stained or something so I'm on the lookout for a new set or I'm tempted to spray them in gloss black.
Here's a few pictures that I have at the moment, I'll update the thread when I give it a good clean at some point and start doing some more bits to it.
