Mk1 Clio Road/Race Project

[LJColeman]

This is my mk1 Clio, Its only a 1.2, But id like your opinion on anything else i could do.. thanks..

 

[Daniel]

You're failing hard with pictures today LJColeman....

 

[LJColeman]

i know, cant get them to work >?

 

[Daniel]

 

[LJColeman]

Cheers mate

 

[Daniel]

Copy and paste the img code from photobucket.

 

[LJColeman]

ahh right okay, cheers mate

 

[LJColeman]

What you think of it?

 

[Fletcher]

I'd take the sub out of the boot!

 

[Daniel]

I'm not really a sticker man to be honest matey.

If that was my car, i'd be taking all the stickers off, binning the sub and the ''Jap'' exhaust and lowering as low as it would go. Its not a fast car, so in my personal opinion, theres no point in trying to make it look fast. (I'm really old and have done all the stickers and loud exhausts when I was younger and I now realise the error of my ways... lol)

Where in Bristol you from?

 

[LJColeman]

Fair enough, and nah need some music! Im from yate.. i work in S J Cooks Renault in kingswood, yourself?

Do you?? I worked there for 7 years! lol. I'm guessing you're in the workshop?

I now own a car sales garage in Coalpit heath.

 

[LJColeman]

Ha yeah my Uncle owns the place! :L did you work in sales? and yeah im in the workshop, know a lad called Paul Clarke?

 

[Daniel]

Ha yeah my Uncle owns the place! :L did you work in sales? and yeah im in the workshop, know a lad called Paul Clarke?

I know paul very well.

Who's your uncle?

 

[LJColeman]

Robbin Cook.. and do you :L im his apprentice

 

[Daniel]

Pauls a good lad. Got a lot of time for him. Infact I had a lot of good friends from working there, a really nice place to work.

(although theres a few i'd gladly punch in the throat! lol)

 

[LJColeman]

yeah i get on well with paul, and haa i wont im not like that.., were you in the workshop?

 

[Dave..]

Is it a williams?

 

[LJColeman]

Isit **** a williams :L It's a 1.2, im only 16 :L

 

[Daniel]

I started as a valeter for 2 years then went into sales. Left nearly three years ago to start up my place.

Theres my cars... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?538542-My-Clio-Trio...&highlight=clio+trio

So if you see any of them about (The new ones got my wifes plate on it now though) give me a toot and a wave! I'm currently driving a filthy dirty Williams though, so keep your eye out for that aswell!

 

[LJColeman]

i think i seen ur misses go past our place yestarday, Private plate on it, was in ur 200 cup.. paul sed he knew the bloke who owned it.. :L Small world! haa that williams is wicked!:L still got that mk1 with a 172 in it?

 

[Daniel]

The grey mk1 172'd engine thing is still in the garage yeah. But I'm moving in a minute so on the lookout for another garage as I don't want it getting wet! lol.

Its pretty much finished now too. Just need to get it all aligned and a new screen fitted then I'mm going to hammer the 2011 track days!

 

[LJColeman]

haa mint! i was thinking of doing something like that with mine, like a 172 or valver engine or something :L .. ur 200 cup is nice asweel , looks good with ur misses plates on it aswell

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Looks not bad... Bin all the RS stickers though...

Like the colour combo though, good work

 

[Savi]

How are you buckets so low? Can you see over the steering wheel? lol Looks aight to me, seen a lot worse, not a fan of rhte show cage, the pipings far too big

 

[JackJack]

i think it looks nice and i don't ever like mk1s
but if it was mine id take the big rs stickers off the side but leave the smaller ones

 

[LJColeman]

The bucket seats are just placed in atm, as im still waiting for the sliding subframes to come, also waiting for harnesses to come, but im a bit stuck on where to mount them ?

 

[Daniel]

I've got a K-tec show cage (same as yours) and some Cobra sliding subframes all sat in work, you could have had it all cheap!

 

[LJColeman]

Still got the subframes?

 

[Daniel]

Yeah but I want to get rid of it all together really as i'm moving out end of this month.

 

[Struggler]

tbh dude, as a mk1 fan,
im not liking most of it, mainly because youve called it a race build! (i stripped a 1.2 and had buckets, but id NEVER claim it to be a race build, just call it your own build, race implies engine work and weight saving mods lol)

show cage?
sub?
stickers?
WILLIAMS STICKER?? SRLY? ive got a big thing about people putting 172, sport, or williams badges when theres nothing to back it up!


in all, the interior looks nice, but not a big fan of the stickers in all,

get the stickers off, and get at least an F7P/R engine in it, and maybe try to mod a valver bonnet to fit! then it will look good, different to to have it all done to a ph3!

 

[LJColeman]

OH that's a shame I would of had them off you, let me know if u change ur mind,

 

[LJColeman]

Was Thinking of getting some black angel lights aswell, whats ur thoughts ?

 

[Laine_16v]

Fair enough, and nah need some music! Im from yate.. i work in S J Cooks Renault in kingswood, yourself?

I bet you know a lad called Jason Kruge then

 

[Daniel]

I bet you know a lad called Jason Kruge then

Stocky kid, mousey brown hair, rides a motorbike??

 

[Laine_16v]

Stocky kid, mousey brown hair, rides a motorbike??

Lol nope thats definately not him, he lives in Yate has a tidy Williams 1 and Williams 2 (of which ive spent far too much time underneath fixing the c***ing thing). Used to work with him, he used to be the owner of a large cruise website (swcruise), i would expect the OP to know of him

 

[LJColeman]

^^ thought about selling me those seat subframes?
