Look at the dampers, if they're covered in wet/damp looking oil, they're leaking. And fucked.

No sorry mate. Try eBay.

To break yourself in gently, if I was you I would buy... 1) shampoo. There's loads to choose from! 2) Some non acidic wheel cleaner. 2) tar and adhesive remover. 3) Autoglym super resin polish 4) some glass cleaner 5) Some tyre shine. Wash the car with the shampoo and a good...

Jack the rear up. If they're not there, they're gone.

You need a can of satin black paint and run it along your sill. It's been recently painted at the back and it still dirty and brown at the front. Car looks wicked though. :D

I hate to break it to you mate, but it won't. Dawn spends 25 hours a day cleaning her cars. I know that sounds impossible, but she actually does.

This confirms that you listen to NOTHING I tell you.

Eh?! Why did you think that?

No. The exhaust is sat a bit low at the minute as it's not bolted up properly. It's a taste thing, I personally love it. Let's not forget, this is not a road car and never will be.

Yeah it starts and runs but the ECU was mapped for a mk1 1.8 turbo so it's over fuelling like a b**ch. I've got a video of smoke bangs and flames but I've no idea how to upload it to here.

He's talking about the Aston a page back.

Still got a days worth of wiring to sort and tidy up. Then it's going for alignment. Then it's going for mapping. Then we can start on mine....

And this is what £1000's worth of stack dials look like...

Thought we'd drive out (drive!!) the Clio and wash it seeing as we had already washed 8 cars this afternoon. Took a chance to grab some pics...

That escort is lovely! Rare too, most are facelift ones. In fact, I really really like that.

Check the oil, check the water, check all your lights fill up with fuel and go. If the car needs brakes, servicing, etc etc before you go, just do it in schedule with the last service.

Oh ok. I do hope the inside of the sills have been loaded with waxoyl! lol

Looks stunning! Well done. But it begs the question; didnt you/previous owner/whoever built it think to check for rot before starting all the work first time round??

So much better!

If I wasn't looking for a job I'd jump on it as a van conversion. Someone's done all the hard work and spent all the big outlay. The bonus of no creaky leaky sunroof is the icing on the cake!

Suggest your car is broken. There's no way a decat would cause a circa 30mpg decrease.

Perhaps?! My rate seems to have just gone up...

Yes but only one hand. My other hand was busy masturbating furiously.

A 'lad'?? In 2012 I was 32 and in a recovery truck! lol

I thought this looked quite good. Fit a new steering wheel and what a nice little car for £1600...

Going by that, you should have your rear number plate on the tailgate not on the bumper? As such, that year/model of car only came from factory as a 68bhp, but with the 100bhp gearbox. Can't answer the question about the intercooler though.

If your rear number plate is on the tailgate it 'should' have a sunroof. Being brutally honest though, Campus clio's were basically parts bin specials to use up remaining ph2 shells before the mk3 came out. Some came colour coded, some didn't, some had sunroofs some didn't, some had new shape...

Clios are pretty much held together with Torx screws so invest in some tools! Cheapies but will do for DIY; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Piece-Offset-Extra-Long-Reach-Tamperproof-Hollow-End-Torx-Torque-Star-Key-Set-/300945785905?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4611c44431

Where is the place that did them? Could you get a member of this lovely forum to drop off the offending wheel and collect it again so it's ready for your return?
