Saw this today 6.30 near police station think it was a valver only glanced but had huge cliosport stickers right down rear wings,looked pretty cool,
Ryan
if you put 17s on the car will handle like a bag of sh!t, depends what you want tho, looks or handling!!but 16s should be a good compromise!on so low profile tyres probly 40's i reckon
Ryan
try and get some valver or williams seats in there mate, probly cheaper to get the valver cloth seats tho, im sure they all fit in all mk1 clios!
Ryan,
Right ive got a mk1 phase 3, so its got the stupid brake light on, plus ive just found a load of rust under the bottom of the tailgate!
if i manage to get a new one are they easy to replace?do you just take struts off and top mount parts?what about the locks bearing in mind ive got a...
mines down -55mm on 195/45/15 tyres and theres still quite alot of room around the tyre i reckon if ya can find the springs and take splash guards out ur in with some luck!!!!
you need to measure the front struts before you order this can be 52mm/54mm or even 58mm!good places to order, motorsportworld.co.uk
usually pretty good with their stuff, i ordered mine through work as it was the same price!
Cheers Lunner at least someone agrees with me, i had the same conversation with someone at work (halfrauds) and they said that springs are the best way and lower the rear to the floor!!!ah well-some people eh!!!
Ryan
Go 60mm front and do the rear 50mm as it handles really well, plus if your buying shocks you need to measure the gap between the 2 bolts on the front shocks!
lowering on springs will be rubbish on corners iv put konis on the 1.4 and handles like a dream.it was on springs and was rubbish on the...
hmmm seems alot of money for a set of lights, similar to when the first lexus lights came out at £149 what i payed (what a mugg) wait a while and they will come down!
plus they 'look' too 'bling bling' not really my taste anymore bring on the black ones will look 10 times better!!!Ryan
Not sure if its the cold weather but the 1.4 mk1 seems to idle very high around 1,500 and higher (if thats the right measurement) cars got decat on but seems to rev so high at the mo even when changing gear sticks at nealry 2,000?
what would cause this?Ryan
to make a permenant live you need to swap the wires over which are in the sony lead coming from the back of the stereo,im sure its connected as a yellow to red wire or yellow to yellow you need to swap these over,im sure someone else will have a better understanding of it, but simple to do!

then saw a modified mk1phase3 red with body kit looked like a minter too, girl...

Just had a look in haynes and looks like an easy task im sure altering the shocks cant be too hard now A19cup has desicribed it in a better way, cheers lunner will have a go one day next week,ill borrow a torque wrench from work it says that top nut is 80 and lower one is 60 easily done...
coolio cheers mate, how do i remove them from the car?i dont wanna pay a garage to do it as i need to learn is it as simple as unscrewing the two large bolts probly (17mm ones) then removeing the strut>?
thanks for your help, Ryan
might aswell mate uv got nothing to lose because when your looking for a car i always look at the car then the price then i think if i can knock em down it will feel more of a bargin!:)everyones happy then!
