Won't be needing that map of great Britain in any rush x

Bristol isn't a different country mind you

Hrmmm, and a bit more hrmmmmmm

We'll sort everything in two weeks, big gang bang key swapping weekend will clear the air and some final decisions :p

I drove dans, as noisey as the clio but without a roof and 50 extra bhp. Eek

As Neil said, was upset to see it was being split then I realised I needed to buy it! Shame I'm out the country at the moment, PM me for the lot ;-)

Got some cable throttle pedals if you need ;)

yea this happened to Adey too, his had done about 15k miles i think, all harddddd use. the repair cost from rotrex was what made adey decide to strip his sadly

that is incredible!!! Want

I've got a speedo vid from 80-140 but it'll never get posted online..

Back from our honeymoon in the Maldives now and back to reality sadly. Thanks for all the lovely comments, really means a lot!! Thank you to the CS people reading this who made the journey up, down and across England to get there, Jay, Tony, Gray, ph-reeboner, Adey And a massive thank you...

awesome news on the Ring trip and getting her back in one piece. Fook i miss mine so badly sometimes! Can honestly say that 280bhp was too much in a car like this though, sensible keeping it where you are now IMO What MPG did you get on your trip? I was getting between 25 and 29 mpg depending...

As you know in today's texts I genuinely am in two minds. However this thread has also changed my opinion slightly, as much as I see where Rob is going (which is similar to whaty texts have said) I also see Dan's point of view, to the point where I once again wish I had just left my ph1 in a...

Oh also, tippex marks on cambelt and timing was out. Renault specialist apparently. No one ive heard of though

Still shocked at the speeches!! In this case then, cyl2 is missing, cyl1 is full of water and also has fubard valves, cyls 3 & 4 full of fragments but would probably go round again All going in the bin though :)

Started taking the engine apart tonight, still can't find the piston. Obviously it's the third cylinder which went boom, but there is metal in all of them plus damaged valves in 3 and 4 (assuming cyl1 is drivers side) It's blown a hole in the inner block/liner type thing and I've found some...

i was thinking the same, (ph-reebone under bombers alias)

I cant bare to strip this one too, she'll rise from the dead!! My dad couldnt stop laughing when I sent him a picture of the rod last night

the wedding nerves have kicked in this morning, i think buying the car yesterday gave me something else to think about which was good. Now ive got it, time to think about more important things! Thank you all for the best wishes! Xanda, happy belated birthday to your Clio then, hope you...

afraid not matey, just tried my suit on and there isnt much room for moving in!

all depends on money really. i could smack a new lump in this one for a couple hundred £££, tempting to find a meggy engine and try that but its lots of monies. I do realllly miss the 280bhp supercharged Clio but ''been there, done that'' comes to my mind, its a verrrrrrrrrrry very clean...

Oh I'm not fussed at all, I'm on top of the world at the moment. I get married in 38 hours, have a gf who doesn't care what I do with these things and no matter what I do, I've lost no money. Beats a day feeding ducks at the park ;) When I offered him the money, it was on the basis I was...

Lol, just found this in the bay

So, on Monday evening I got a text off Gray suggesting I look at link to CS advertising a Clio for sale. Slight engine noise, probably dephaser pulley on its way out. 7 minutes later my offer is accepted, we chat and discuss tactics. It was an hours drive away and I had today off work...

Ffs hadn't realised this ones now cracked too! Adey's had done about 11k miles before it did, mines only done about1-2k miles. I think Jon someone also had these and lasted ~25k miles without problems. Adey did do some strentghening to his but also left it broken for 2 months lol. I'll try...

Yayyyyy progress at last, even if it's slight. Fannymold looks much better, if you need one sent off for anything i have two spares here

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Got got upto speed on this, awesome/well done/good luck with it. Hope today is as rewarding as yesterday

Good luck to you both on Monday, fingers crossed for good weather

Brazo, I saw Gloucester Docks and was like eh?!? I was in Edge only last week doing some work :)

what he says ^^^ should be able to give it a good clean up with that all removed, the gearbox also. then we can whack it back into the car in an afternoon again :)
