Mason Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hey I'm currently in the process of selling my liquid yellow clio 197 and will soon be on the look out for a 350 although I've been searching the ads for the past few weeks already haha. I'm 22 and before I could drive always wanted to own a zed so thought now was the time to sell my beloved clio for one. Quick question while I'm hear.... I'm after something mid milage in sunset orange but most for sale are pre facelift, I'd prefer a facelift for all the little extras and a few more hp numbers. Am I worth continuing my search for a facelift or could I be just as happy with a pre facelift. Thanks in advance. Here's a pic of my clio, will be sad to see it go.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEZZA Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forum, sunset stopped at facelift I believe. I could be wrong though Edited January 21, 2015 by SHEZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi and welcome You'll be happy whichever version you choose. Personally I'd go for the HR but then I'm biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks guys. I've seen one 2006 in sunset guess there aren't many out there? I'd like a HR but then I'd like sunset as well haha as far as I'm aware can't have both =( What's so good about the HR's then 😅? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zedd Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The HR engine has more power and torque, and 80% of the components have been redesigned or strengthened to cope with the 7500 rpm redline. Dual-path intakes lowers intake tract restriction by 18 percent and new equal-length exhaust manifolds lead into mufflers that are 25 percent more free-flowing for all around better airflow. The electrically actuated variable valve timing on the exhaust cams to broaden the torque curve is new over the "DE" engine. Its got larger crank bearings and reinforced main caps amongst other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Welcome along, as said sunset isn't available for HR model but love that colour on the Clio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks =) Not sure if I like temper orange or not. Might settle for a sunset facelift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
