Excellent work on the log burner, almost as good as the car thing you're doing ;)

Yeah yeah :rasp:

Your mum! ;) It got chopped up with a stihl saw then chucked onto the back of a pikey scrap mans wagon, it used to belong to the chap I quoted above :clown:

It takes dedication and the knowledge that it's not really that expensive, the only major expense other than buying it was the respray as I haven't got the skills to do that. After the crash I got it fixed & still had a healthy profit left from the insurance payout ;) so that paid for the...

:lolup: tell me about it, I only came to yours for 1 part & ended up with a van full of stuff :rasp: Meh, it's easy to sort now 3 hours maybe less to whip the engine out, probably do it quicker next time if there's no filthy 6th formers walkin past my house to stop & chat :evil:

Ok it's a shameless copy & paste from my project threads on other forums but I feel it deserves to be shared on here, in full and from the beginning 8) A brief history of the car to begin with. I bought her in February 2007, a bit rough & tatty round the edges but the intention was always...

Me & my mate made it down from nottingham in the vee just as a load of mk2 & 3's were leaving :dapprove: the only time the weather caused a problem was after j10 on the M1, most of the carriageway had snow settled on it but 1 junction down it was almost empty & no snow. Traffic coming back...

Ahh I see what you're doing now, but I've no idea if your other idea with the sensor will work or not :o

Are you not having an oil pressure gauge? Only ask as the sensor on the back of the block that you're putting a bung in is the pressure sender

You love my little pink monster ;)

Good man :cool: join the naples massive blud, loads better than pikey/poor mans willy 449 innit :rasp:

That's a nice 1, buy that & I'll buy those wheels off you, I've got the same but they're not that mint anymore :dapprove:

Yeah but is the sooooo much more bit worth the financial crippling? Which it what it will come down to for the OP ;) Can you remember that far back in time when you were 19? :rasp:

I sort of agree & disagree with you there There is quite a difference between the 2, but for me (at the time of buying) the extra cost to run (ie insurance) in relation to the increase in performance - which lets be honest isn't as vast an improvement as is sometimes made out - was...

^^ I gave up trying to find it :o

There's a project thread of that on here ;)

ahhh Mr. Wobbanory has found this thread & graced it with his spangly,shiney wheels :rasp:

I have to concede that the williams is the better car to begin with but I imagine it's gonna come down to insurance cost for you, same as it did for me. When I got my valver I was quoted at £1300 to insure and a williams was £2650 so bit of a no brainer

It's not that bad, you looked in General chat yet? :rofl: is quite an understatement ;)

To the OP, just ignore the shite on here & buy a valver ;) you'll love it this really isn't the best site for information on mk1 clios tbh

Hey thong boy :rasp:

Saw a 172 cup blasting round the track, no reg plates anyone on here? Seemed to be doing pretty well until the point it slowed right down, anything go wrong or was you just going back in?

Since this has turned into a valver pic wh0ring session I'll join in with mine :cool:

Probably not on here but maybe something worth having on www.clio16valver.co.uk ;) Admittedly they're not that fast but they're not that slow either ;) great fun to own (when they work, they are french :rolleyes:) & drive as well

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild wanna swap cars danny? :rasp:

Gets beaten by a fiat 500 at something iirc

:D cheers :D Much better where you've routed the fuel lines, oh and the manifold on the esky is a bit shexy to say the least :cool:

Any chance you can grab a couple more & stick them in the post? ;) or point me in the right direction to get some?

Couldn't agree more :approve: How exactly did you do that top engine mount? I want to do that to mine as I refuse to pay the stupid money K-tec want for the uprated mount

Thanks for that mate :D The 1st number doesnt work and the mobile number works, but got a machine that said the call centre closes at 10 pm :mad:
