It's just the mounting nut at the top in the boot and the bolt at the bottom (assuming it a mk2).

Theres a guide in the articles section of the site but you need to join to be able to read it. There is also a guide in the Haynes manual, its fairly straight forward to do as long as you have some spring compressors and the right tools. I managed it ok, the only problem I had was the rear...

I doubt you can download one. You can borrow them from good a library(sp). However they dont do one for the sport clio just the 1.2, 1.4,1.5d,1.6 and 1.9d Clios. Dave

The springs I mentioned above are for a clio made after 1998 excluding the sport/v6 which is your 1.2.

Nope not that one, your clio is a 98> so its the apex springs with the part number: AX-150-4050, thats the same kit I have.

Surely you can just fit your storage space part from the old into the new dash? Are those bumpers from a ex cup car?

This is the normal reaction, slamming the brakes on and giving opposite lock when the back end goes makes it swing the other way and losing control (depending on how fast the car is going). I think the best thing to do is gently steer into it and apply throttle (except on rwd cars) to pull the...

Theres a forum member on here called Nash that has a mk2ph1 1.2 8v on 145,000 miles.

Some mk2pph1s have 52mm hub spacing which makes it very hard to find some aftermarket shocks to fit. John is you car 54mm?

Nope after lowering just get the tracking checked. The torsion bar is not adjusted btw, you just have to unscrew the shock, pull it down, take out the old spring and put lower ones in.

You wont have any problems lowering 40mm on 17s, I would say even 60mm on 17s you shouldnt have any problems assuming the offset of the wheels is suitable. My clio is lowered 40mm on 16s and I have no problems even if I have my bike on the roof and people in the back.

Cant really help you on what you could use but it has to be strong to hold it in, was just watching men and motors and police were pulling over random cars and one of checks they were doing was making sure the battery was in securly as if its not then it will be very unsafe in an accident.

Doesnt he have 182 wheels though which are ET 45, unlike the turninis 38. Still a lot though. :eek:

Think you have to link a cable over like daz said even though each side as 6 wires and 6 connectors and both lights have a bulb in them, the pink wire (not to be confused with violet) is the fog light wire.

^Ignore that 1st bit I just looked at my Turnins and they are 38 offset.

If they are Turinis from a cup im sure they are 43 offset and your car standard wheels should be 36 or 37 so the wheels are already in a little, do you get rubbing at the rear with 205s? I would go for 5mm if it doesnt look right with the bodykit.

Ive got some dashboard cleaner from wilkos that smells just like the new car smell.

I dont think you can stop it without disabling the whole wiper altogether. Whilst driving non-clio cars I really miss the auto rear wipe. One of those clio things.

Check the wiring behind the clusters, I had it on mine, damp got to it and corroded the plug so some of the wires touched the others.

Yeah I had a friend colourcode them for me but I should warn you monaco blue is very hard paint to match as its a pearl-metallic. When we went throungh the car paint book there was about 7 different shades of monaco blue!

Not bad steven, it looks v good on the standard alloys.

Well if your going to post pictures: Lowered 40mm (still settling) on turinis.

Wheel arches should be ok, the clio has big arches as it is. Lots of people have 17s on here and lowered 60mm without problems, just make sure the wheel offset is ok for your car. I love monaco blue is it a mk2ph1 or the facelift clio?

LOVE your car, what phone was the pictures taken with? I wish I had a double garage.

One of my doors did this, I took the door panel off and sprayed some WD40 at the mechanism, it soon free'd it up.

I believe the colour on the F1 cars is racing blue of the 182s.

That is really good going! from 0-79000 miles other than serivicing ive had to replace a rear bearing, have a new bolt for antiroll bar and front and rear brakes. You must have one of the highest mile mk2s in cliosport.

I just wandered Ive had 2 cars with this engine and they seem very reliable, thats quite a lot, have you had any other problems after high miles with the engine? Mine is on 79k and hope to get a bit more out of it yet.

Yes they are the standard alloys fitted to the 1.2 sports.

How many miles has your car done nash?
