Treza360's Ride (aka What Trent Went And Did)

[Treza360]

Stupid P plate laws, but yeah, you've gotta take me for a spin! Next meet for sure
Gotta admit, the Clio's have come a long way:

Always good to see that there are people with a complete lack of taste and good judgement who create abominations no matter the manufacturer.

Lovely little car Trent! I was keen on buying a second hand 182 before I bought my Polo but was swayed by the idea of a new car. I'm sure it will be bags of fun in the twisties.

PS. Forgot to ask, how are you dealing with the missing rear tailshaft? Do the clio's come with an LSD?

Missed this one. FWD is going ok. I mean this is one of the best handling hatches out there. No LSD on the Clio but it has the R26 Megane subframe as well as the same crazy Revo Knuckle setup that the Focus RS and RS500 have. In fact the Renault Sports had it first. I had a look at it up on a hoist last week and holy mother the front suspension setup is on another planet!

Some pictures of the tint. Bit hard to tell how it looks as it was twilight sorry. You probably get the idea though. Rears do look slightly darker than they are.
Cheers,
Trent

And some shots looking inside. Looking in from the boot is one of my favourite views actually. The front seats are awesome. I took some shots with the doors open so you can tell the difference between no tint, front window tint and rear window tint.

I've also changed the interior lights with some led setups. Orange in the rear and middle front to match the dash and map lights to white. The door puddle lights are also orange and the number plate lights are white. Glove box and boot light I left as is.

Cheers,
Trent

Nice seats! Renault Elf?

[Treza360]

Elf is a Petroleum/Oil company synonymous with Renault especially their F1 days in the 80s and 90s. Think like Ferrari and shell now.

That sticker only comes on new cars and you can't buy a new one from Renault. There are Elf stickers on ebay but not as cool as the oem one.

Cheers,
Trent

Renault have had those ELF stickers for many years. I thought it was to do with tricky suspension. Electronic Levelling Function, or some such.

[Treza360]

Nope definitely the oil brand. Now part of Total one of the six major oil companies in the world.
It's like a good political spy drama reading about them, hoax technology, fraud and all kinds of fun stuff.

Who loves my wheels. I love my wheels.
I also love my Brembo brakes.

How does it stop compared to your R32 setup?

Pimp!!! Moar?!!

[Treza360]

Some little future scum of the earth kids stole the valve caps off my wheels during the week. They weren't the cool factory pointy black plastic ones though only $5 silver metal ones from autobarn.

Luckily I only had another 4 or 5 sets lying around. Current set are bolt shaped and I had a mini socket wrench which fits them exactly so they're nice and tightly screwed on now.

Little ****es.

Oh and a photo that AusScare took a while back on a cruise up in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Cheers,
Trent
