    Clio 1.8 16v - "barn" find

    I’ve cleaned the outside of the intake manifold and the throttle body, but the inside still needs a good wash. A broken-off section where a bracket should attach. It’s filthy inside—basically a thick layer of oil sludge and carbon deposits. My...

    Clio 1.8 16v - "barn" find

    Time for an update. The previous owner found an intake manifold and also gifted me a set of adjustable Koni rear shock absorbers (the yellow ones). The intake manifold is complete but extremely dirty. The wires to the TPS (throttle position sensor) have snapped off...

    Clio 1.8 16v - "barn" find

    Guys watching this thread that have experience in valvers Is the front subframe specific to the valver, or is it same as 1.4S front subframe? (Generic clio 1 front subframe) Is there any point in strenghtening the front subframe (like stitch welding)? I am thinking about wide front track and I...

    Clio 1.8 16v - "barn" find

    Quite by chance, I ran into the person who owned the car before it was painted pearlescent. I reached out to him regarding some bodywork, sent a few photos, and the guy says, "That was my car!" – can you believe it? 🤣 He bought it (from Rijeka/Bakar) about 20 years ago. He mentioned that the...

    Clio 1.8 16v - "barn" find

    If this car could talk, I bet it would have quite a story to tell... What puzzled me was that the car is grey, yet the engine bay and the entire interior are pearl white... I didn't get any answers from the owner, nor any photos of the car from the past, and I kept thinking it was a shame—I’d...

    Clio 1.8 16v - "barn" find

    Here goes nothing :ROFLMAO: It’s been sitting in a forest in pretty much the same spot for seven years, and for the last three, I’ve been trying to convince the guy to sell it to me... Well, today was the day. So, here it is in all its glory: a 1991 Clio 1.8 16v (Phase 1 Diac), cat-less...
