Some people like orange peel effect. ;) Looks good. Get the grey trim off the car. Bit of plastic primer and some satin black will just make it better. In the words of mighty car mods.... BLAAACK!

Funnily enough, Here's my old 1.2!

Thanks man! The ktr discs are a definite for the rear. The front brembos are new so I will wait untill they are worn! A remap may be on the table. Get the most out of the car! I'm jelous of the ly. Always been a sicker for them. Bit of an update for today! I managed to get the painted...

Hello everyone, I recently posted up about my 197 that I picked up last week. My intention was to leave it as is. However, after finding one or two little bits im not happy with I have decided to start a project-esk thread to track progress. So firstly, A few pictures. A couple parked...

Hi buddy, hope your enjoying your car. Almost identical to how my 1.2 started off. Funnily enough, I was taught the same thing! It's due to being instructed in a diesel where you can hold the car with the bite point and drive it reasonably safely on the biting point of the clutch. From my...

Thanks Guys. After driving it a bit i've found one or two little.... Annoyances that I am planning on fixing. So will get a project log going for it.... I said "I'm going to leave it alone...." That was 4 days ago.

Thank's guys. I took it out for a decent drive today (About 120 miles) and have identified a few issues that I want to work out. Firstly, I have noticed the clutch pedal has a bit of left to right movement. Is this normal??

I'm happy with the seats that are in it for now. Recaro's will probably be fitted in future. I got it for a good price considering the amount of work that's been put into it, so im not too bothered. It's had a new rs200 gearbox + clutch fitted along with new break pads, discs etc as well as...

Hello everyone! I used to be on here a fair bit back in the day. Mostly reading more than posting. When I got my first car (A clio mk2 ph2 1.2 16v) I used these forums a lot to keep it running and do a few modifications to the car. After graduating, I was in need of a more reliable car (The...

Looks good mate! Loving the colour!

Just spotted this car. It had a cliosport tax disc holder so I know the owner should be on here!

Good call. Im in the middle of doing a rear disc conversion on my clio also. Need to get new pads, so they wont be getting done until after Christmas. I dont think you've done the front brakes yet, if you want bigger ones, I believe you can fit the 1*2 hubs in to fit the 1*2 brakes on. As you...

So thats you got rear discs! You going to change the full axle or just the hubs over?

Thanks guys. Its been a bit neglected recently. But I have today off, so plans are to get it cleaned. Get my new plates fitted, and a few extra bits. Ill see how well I get on with it :)

You seen to have a fair idea what your doing. Whats your plans for this? Daily driver? Or something more?
