With the weather getting better I've been keeping on top of cleaning the car as much as I can. Still been unable to work out where the knocking is coming from on the rear though :weary:So just going to drop some pics here . :tongueclosed:
So had the car on the road for a week now after finding insurance at a good price. Really been enjoying driving it ,and it's definitely a lot faster than what I'm used to but it great being in a rattley Renault again :smile:
There was a bit of a knocking from the rear so changed the exhaust...
You were near the halfords industrial estate area heading towards Bradwell , car looked really smart and stood out well. Sure I saw a cliosport sticker in the rear window to
I'm still undecided on the 2118s i only put them on while refurbishing the f1s, think they would work better in a lighter coulor to be honest. unfortunately it's just titanium think it's the filter on the last on making it look a bit different .
Yeah fair enough not sure about camber bolts though,
that's exactly what I did with the bolts then you can always put some thread lock on them just to make sure they don't come lose:up:
Thanks it's not the most exiting project at the minute though as I spent out buying it as well as still trying to run my current daily and progress on restoring my mk1 fiesta 😅
Yeah always loved them on my other one but you just can't beat the f1s on a ph1
Started on the wheels tonight after a mate poped the tyres off the bead for me so I can get a nice finish around the edges. However I've had to leave the valves in as I won't be able to get new ones in if I cut these out .
Even though I have done some sets of wheels befor these have got to be...
Wow that seems expensive when I only paid about £25 for the ones I got, I'm afraid your only option on the front is spacers unless you go for sport subframe /suspension stuff.
-2 is quite a lot I think ,belive 0.5 is a nice amount but you best doing a few searches as I'm not 100% sure about...
Yeah sounds a bit more like what they should be called , not sure where else you can get them from sure there must be some on eBay somewhere. Ahah nothing wrong with a little camber :tonguewink:
Yeah not sure if that's the proper name for then to be honest ,they just go on the end of you axle behind the drum, undo the 4 star shaped bolts slide them in and put back 4 slightly longer bolts.:up: I brought mine off someone on here at a reasonable cost .
Looks good mate :up:, they wheel spacers or hub spacers ? If not I'd get some hub spacers for the rear then you could maybe run them with you wheel spacers as well or put the wheel spacers up the front ?
Thanks mate, love how you can remember the regs ahah there seems to be more bad ones then good ones for sale IMO but search hard enough and you will find one :up:
So gave the car a good wash and cay bared the bonnet and some of the front end then I got the f1s off so they can be refurbished, put my 2118s on it for now and they really don't suit it so this should keep me motivated to get the f1s sorted quick .
Sorry for the masses of pictures I just love...
Fitted my small front plate tonight. Used some Velcro pads I got from tesco which means I can change between this and full size one easily aswell as being able to remove it altogether when cleaning. Was dark when I done it but got some bad pictures anyway.
I know this isn't much of a project yet more just a load if pictures of what I want to sort but I'm kind of skint after bying it so progress will be slow to start.
As most clios the steering wheel is rather Mankey so I would like so get this retrimed unless I can find a mint original...
So after recently selling my dci 172 rep and moving on to a mk6 fiesta zetec s for my second year of driving I decided I would like a 172 after my second year of driving when my insurance drops a bit more as I really liked my clio, however when a family member was selling his ph1 172 at a good...
So I waved good by to the car today and I've got to be honest I was a little sad to see it go but I shall return one day with a real 1*2 :smile:. It was a local young lad who brought it so hopefully it will be looked after at well as I kept it.
I gave it one final wipe over and polish before it...
Cheers for the replies ,
although I'm going to let the auction run now though as it's taken me a couple moths to even bring myself to put it up for sale, if it doesn't go then I'll look into sorting the problems and try again for a little more just don't want to end up even more out of pocket...
