the height will niggle at you for a while!! i almost went mad trying to set some coilovers up on mine once, id adjust it perfect, drive it up the road and back, and itll be completely different!! but most of it will be in your head after youve got it set up for the first time!! and just to jump...

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content* ahh i remember the days of people constantly undoing my bonnet catches "for the banter"!! looking really good mate!! cant wait to get home and have a nose!! what have you used to get the rear wheels so far out the arches on the...

not sure if this has been covered before but i couldnt find anything in the search!! Just wondering what the legallity was on having a sinlge wiper centrered in the middle of the windscreen? Obviously its illegal to have your vision obstructed, but does this cover wipers as well?? id like one...

based on the above photo, it works well!!

having a cup pack on your 182 means getting cheap coilovers will be almost impossible!! iirc you need 60mm bolt spacing!!

by the power of grayskull thats nice!! surprise renault arnt after this one back!! almost seems a shame that its clearly never been driven properly!!

thats terrible man!! real shame, you could try to get the car fixed and take her to small claims court over the money, but i have no idea if it would be even financially worth it!! :(

tracking? if the ball joints moved slightly it will no doubt be out!

why are the front wheels so far back!? looks terrible, and lol at the PS!

id have thought a lot of the interior loom would be generic!! you will more than likely need new door looms though. not sure that its ever been tried really so give it a go and report back with your findings!! :D

OVER 9000! seriously i presonally prefer 3! the yellow brings it to life more and to the uneducated eye, the first one may just look like renault with "sport" put underneith it as a last minute chav thought (a bit like the boot lid!) but thats just my opinion!! seems the general opinion is for...

heat gun and wall paper scraper will make light work of it!! and as someone else said, you may suffer from some pretty bad glare if you dont have any kind of top dash at all!!

cheers chip! thats what i was hoping to hear!! :) project looks good dude, keep up the good work!! :)

lol great first post!! those ones wont straight fit.. welcome to CS

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content* haha cheeky sod!! thats all if i can actually find something these days!! :(

just wondering, did you manage to get the engine out without removing the subframe or bonnet?? as this would really help keep my dad happy when i take my engine out on his drive over the summer!! lol im assuming you had to raise the car simply for the gear linkage and dogbone etc. looks...

worthed with both cars, suspension tops are identical on the suspension and shell so i also see no reason why they shouldnt work!! also had a mate who ran AST topmounts on a mk2 that were marketed for a mk2!

Lol at the online check up, blatantly there so the mothers of some louts (not aimed at OP at all) can check up on theirs sones driving!! theres a huge flaw in this system imo. The only people going for this system, will be those who are happy to drive slow. The same people who were statisticly...

Flol, flip most of that!! ive had springs, cheap coilovers and more expensive coilovers. and id say definitely go for coilover over springs, i can hardly notice the difference with lowering springs on most cars, youll spend about £100 and be no better off. Coilovers gives height adjustment so...

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content* hmm well its not actually too much left on mine engine out and give it a clean up and bit of a service. front track painted and everything fited. cage modded in and a few tiny interior touches backbox made and bosh done!! :) its...

the exhaust system from the ph1 and ph2 is more or less the same, but i dont know what the OMP decat is like!! if it meets up with a standard cat back, then itll work fine!! :)

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content* nice update dude!! really missing mine now!! but ill be back in 4 weeks!! also williams stabalizer bar?! i wasnt aware such a thing existed! would it be worth trying to fit on to a ph1 do you think??

this is one issue thats going to be thrown up by the installation of tow strap!! since the AA/RAC will only want to tow you with a bar, they may well refuse to attempt to tow a clio with a tow strap!! also would like to know the law about towing with a rope! since they still sell them at...

it should come on with the ignition then go off with all the other lights!! thatll tell you if the lights duff, but it could still be the sensor in the gearbox!!

sorry not read any of the other responses, but i had an odyssey battery in my fast road/track mk1, i never found it to be any different from a usual battery, and never dropped charge over night!! however i didnt used to use anything on just the ignition, only with the engine running where...

Right to clear this up!! the VOSA regulation manual released for jan 2012 states under 5.4 supplementary restraint system, reason for rejection number 2. srs malfunction indicator lamp 1. inoperative 2. indicating a system malfunction as far as i can see, theres still nothing on the engine...

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! * Inc 197 Cup Cage Content* nice work dude!! any chance you'd be able to borrow that welder again over the summer?? is i really need one for a few bits on mine! :) secondly, if youre changing the rad hoses to the ones without oil cooling, any chance i could...

sorry but lol at "good condition" with a bent subframe!! thats been in some kind of accident to warrant the suspension mismatch and damage, and whats worse is it wasnt properly fixed!! id personally go over the entire suspension with a fine tooth comb and replace everything perishable!

let down by a very immature advert, and silly price tag!

conversions cost more than the cars worth and more than a 172 in the long run.... engine mods on a 1.2 dont work and are just a waste.... the only decent option is to save up and buy a 172! this kind of thread has been done to death tbh, and it keeps coming back to the same conclusion!
