Got a bit more done to the Clio yesterday starting with getting the Sabelt seat in. Couple of bars welded into the floor to bolt the subframe too, bit of fiddling and hey presto seat fitted! My OMP harness came with the little eyelets so got them in and harness fitted up, possible harness bars...

Been doing little jobs on the Clio here and there when I get the time, had been having trouble with my drivers xenon not working so after a bit of investigation I got a new ballast and a pair of new bulbs in and all working again. Fitted quick fix bumper kit and tinted my fogs yellow along with...

Lately just been driving the Clio, gathering little bits for it. A friend had some coilovers sitting in his garage doing nothing so I picked them up from him, and with it being my day off work today I went out to my workshop and got cracking with them... As it was when I got to the workshop...

Yay! Good news, the horrific tail lights are gone and replaced by standard items with chrome indicator bulbs. Next up hopefully coilovers, a good clean and more de-chaving.

Few more photos of its current state. . Needs things changing to suit my taste but a good fun base for me to play with.

Cheers, thankfully I managed to remember my log in details from way back in 2005 when I first joined.

It's been many years since I last owned a Clio, it started way back when I purchased my first car a 1.2 mk1 Clio, then through time I got myself a mk1 valver and loved the little thing! I decided to sell the valver to my girlfriend at the time and long story short she did a runner with...

Halfrauds Back to Black.... does the job

Car is very tidy.... sticker looks too much like those crappy stick on 16v badges you find on the commonly modified Paxo

Think it could well be the Idle control Valve.... going to replace it tonight and see if that cures it.

Bonnet, Grill and heatshield on this weekends shopping list lol

It has a different manifold on it... the heat sheald is lower down to compensate for the new manifold. Not sure what kind it is as it was on the car when i baught it. New wheels soon as the current wheels ain't in that good a state. And a new grill will be coming as the mesh looks crap.

Fired the Valver up this morning and to my surprise after starting the RPM instead of dropping to its usual idle point... dropped and the car cut out. Tryed to start it up a few times with the same result. Any able to shed some light on this? Could this need a replacement Air Flow Meter...

It does need bit's done but i got it cheap and it's a step up from my 1.2 mark 1 phase 3 i had. Nice base for a project i think.
