Cheers V6ers

I am again registerd here after a few jears, also new as member.
My name is Marco and i am 46 years (old, young ? whatever ! )
Whem i am driving the Clio i feel young :rofl:

I am totally addicted to this car, i thinkes about to change it for more powerful thing but i never could separate me for it.

Thats now 8,5 years that i'm owner of a 255 V6 and since 5 years i go often to trackdays with it, almost all over europe.
In GB i never was before.

Now i got almost 80'000 miles on the clock and i hope to make a lot more with it.
Most time i drive with Toyo R888 tire on the 17" mk1 wheels, also on normal roads

My mods are:
KW3 suspension
Quicksilver back box (soon with Janspeed full system iolin: )
polished inlet/outlet intake
sporty camshafts 266°
Quaife LSD
sinter clutch plate from Moteur Huger F

Interior:
Recaro sportster seats , black leather/alcantara
bowled steering wheel

Hope to see some of u guys in 2013.

Here some pics, perhaps someone know that car ?

Hi Mossy

[V6 2HOT]

How much of a difference have the coilovers and lsd made on track compared to a standard car? Car dynamics?

 

[Big Iain]

Really like the colour, makes me want to wrap mine now. Liking the rear wiper delete too :race:

Hi Hot

Not a massive improvement IMO.
I drove before 4 Jears with standard Coils and Diff a lot on tracks.

With LSD its posssible to accelerate a bit earlier ou of corner.

The KW Var. 3 is a bit better on fast corners and the vee looks nicer when a bit lower.
I was very happy with the standard coils over years, but after 75^000 miles and a lot of hard trackdays at almost limits i thought to replace it.

 

[Grippy255]

Thanks all for the warm welcome and acceptance :bow: :bow: :salut:

Lovely looking car and some great upgrades Marco. :approve:

Interesting that you drive about with the 17" ph1 wheels on. Any particular reason?

 

[Brembov6]

Looks amazing here -

First reason because i drive on 17" is, that semis are cheaper and more choice of dimensions compaired to 18"

I use 2 or 3 sets in a season. :race:

 

[Lankan]

Impressive........and great colour too.

Some good mods there too.

How has your gearbox held up over the years - has it been rebuilt at some point?
