Post by: Parabolika172 on December 15, 2010, 07:29:00 PM
Good Evening People,

Robs the name. Im in Auckland NZ and have a 2001 Renault Clio 172. Have not seen many other clios about at all or Frenchies in general so hoping to meet some other fans of the renaultsport brand. Doing Alot of trackdays at the moment so maybe I will run into some of you soon. btw the wheels on my car are now black... corporate racing colours etc etc...

Cheers fellas!
Yea I have only seen 2 other cliosports in auckland so far and the owners were old and didnt wave back : P
The rear spoiler was an option in the clios. Not very popular apparently and the guys on cliosport hate it. Im a little meh over it because getting a cup or trophy spoiler from the uk is just silly expensive.

Would be keen for a meet somewhere. We have a bunch of Lotus' that we race and rally and just finished building a 71 Alfa GTA replica so been in the motoring scene for a looooooong time. Love the Clio though. I love giving it some boot up the on ramps, surprises alot of people!
The car is currently standard apart from a 2 1/2" exhaust right through that i recently had done. As usual the french factory exhaust fell to pieces after a hard run.
Planning on some Eibach Proline springs and half cage shortly.

And yep you may have seen me. Im in Botany.
