wow, some beauties there! looks like it was a good day!

Roamer u got any more pics of the cars drifting?

man id love to have a go at that! dont think my toyata van has enough power to do it though:oops:

sounds like something has come loose and is creating a short circuit somewhere. look round the engine bay see if anything is hanging about which shouldnt be

despite their bad rep the ol renaults seem to last a while! i never saw many old fords go past the 100k mark they didnt even have the 7th digit on the milometer. highest ive seen is a saab on 400k +

hehe, took me a bit to find it out! if i swing hard enough on to my drive the back wheel lifts like that

youll find most hot hatches with a stiff chassis will do it http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/derv1980/stiff202.jpg

there isnt a 1.6 mk 1 clio unless u do the megane engine conversion, the 1.4 would probably only be a bit quicker then the 1.2 and thus probably get bored of the power fairly quickly, rsi is a good option fairly cheap to buy, probably cheaper than the valver to maintain but still a large engine...

if your after phase 2 centre caps last time i was down cliospares.co.uk he had a fair few of them lying round

thing with valvers is that if they are looked after they are pretty reliable, but if they aint, and if something goes wrong it can become costly. they are quick motors and handle very well. insurance isnt impossible at 18 but dont expect it to be cheap!

jeez! wats he got in it!

exellent pic mate! how do u manage to time it right? or is it just a case of luck?

clart had some pics of his up recently didnt he? he still banned?

ha i noticed that, i think every garage ive been to does the same thing

how much did the whole respray cost ya if you dont mind me asking?

looks sweet as a nut!

what i did with mine was to put some long cable ties round the offending wires/connectors, then hold them out the way whilst pushing the head unit at the same time, just about got it in! then just trimmed the cable ties down

them wheels really suit the car, nice one!

damn when i was at cliospares in wolverhampton a couple of months back he had 3 172 engines lying about the place!

thats what im going to do, well ive upgraded the main earth lead to the chassis, plus changed the rubbish standard renault batt connectors, gonna do the rest of the big three then get a nice juicy battery, just got a £27 jobbie in there at the mo. ive just got 2 amps one monoblock (1000w rms)...

looks like he had a bit of cutting though to get it in! i tried a translator to see wat they are all saying but it wernt comin out very well. anyone speak french?

saying that how much current do u recon is too much for one standard battery/alternator to cope with?

i was in blackpool today and it was actually sunny! have a look in the for sale section always valvers for sale in there, usually club members take a bit more care/ spend a bit more dosh keeping them tidy, so should easily get a nice un!

damn, bet it shifts too, dont think that conversion has been done over here yet, good to see it can be done though!

my valver was 7 years old when i bought it with 27k on it, 3 years with me it now has 77k!

i wanted that colour when i was looking for my rt that or the blue, could never find a 3 door though! looks smashin!
