why not get the Trophy recaro seats?? theyll go pretty well seeing as theyre an OEM seat!! also, i went for bright blue buckets in my last clio, i strongly regretted it!

why is that dare i ask?? if i tape over the entire exposed section of the bottom end leaving just a small bit of oil in each cylinder would it not be ok?? i ask because i plan to get the head skimmed, all the valves re-seated and it may take me a while to do as ill be away from home for long...

personally id always use hubcentrics, which kinda limits you to 15mm or bigger, in which case it would definatley be longer bolts!! i tried 9mm spacers, and the bolt did not go through far enough to call safe!!

looks good! makes me miss my ph1 non-sport, but ill be getting another one soon ;) will be selling pollybushed wishbones in a month if it interest you, saves you having to have the old bushes pressed out and the new ones welded in!!

on another note, i may just take the head off white its being stored, and give it a top end rebuild!

that ill do!! how much? and will the oil not just sit there enevitably? or will it make its way into the sump?

my worry was more the lack of water in the car!! if i spray some wd40 down the plugs every now and then and rotate the engine, you think this will stop the rings from seizing/rusting?

Ok so i dont plan on driving my valver for a year, after which, i wish to reshell it into a mk2 effectivley, the only thing i really wish to keep from the car.....is the engine and box!! however, removing the engine and box will dump most of the fluid!! my question is would it be ok to store...

sounds like your car is a lot more complicated than my mk1! i dont have the faintest idea what youre talking about :( sorry

a bolt on a rubber thing?? may have to be a tad more specific!! lol

under the scuttle on the passenger side there should be a large gromit where the loom comes through into the car!! may have to cut a hole in it, then push wires through!!

i wish i had a pound for every time i read about this problem!! ive had it on two clios out of the 3 ive owned!! lol its exactly the cause of your problem, the N/S/R light cluster plug is corroded and therefore arcing out some of the connections a live to go back down the brake light wire...

removing the rear view mirror to fit an interior one would make it a complete ball ache!! yes theyre an MOT fail if the wipers foul the sunstrip, but in all my years of scum strips, ive no once seen a car fail an MOT because of one!

can just the element be left in alone to heat the car?? i removed all the heaters when stripping mine out, and even after sealing all the holes up, it is still very cold!! due to lack of a trailer i have to drive it too and from places and would love it to be a touch warmer!! :(

i just looked squeak, and tbh i dont think what has been said is really that bad! few people spouting their opinions and one or two hurtful comments, but thats whats going to happen when you post pictures of mods that are a bit "out there" plus this cliche of cliosport hating everything but...

is there any reason for the heater matrix element thingy in there?? are you using it to heat the car??

Re: Will a crash in a works vehicle with business insurance effect my personal insura how can people not comprehend this?? Have you had ANY claims in the last 3 years regaurdless of fault....... its a yes/no question, you can just think well, im not sure if that comes under "ANY CLAIMS" so...

get the raceland coilovers imo, thats what i did in my 1.2 and theyre great for the money!! also for the record, before coilovers, i lowered my car 60mm on standard shocks and they were fine! also if you dont want to fit them yourself, my services are for sale ;)

at least you wouldnt get seen in it!!

they can be bolted directly to the floor using high tensile bolts, however this will result in a very low, and very far forward seating position. alternatively you can get a strip of 5mm steel, mount it to the floor in the same method as far back as possible, then mount you seat to that...

yes you were dude, sorry about my mate driving. i specifically said, DONT LEAVE BIG GAPS THEN BOOT IT!! so what does he do :( and yes oiam, it great, 10x's better than excel!!

coolant is only the cost of a bottle of antifreeze surely?? £7? to do a flush id just take the rad out and blast water though!! then flush the rad through on its own, as said stats are not very expensive, but it may well be a waterpump failer, however theyre normally about £20 for a pattern...

i have a set of mk1 ph1 seats you can have if youre willing to drive down to me!! theyre just fabric but in pretty good nick tbh

for the money, you cant beat it!! i love my stripped out clio, i commute to college by train and its basically my weekend hack!! sure, at some point youll think, why didnt i get a sensible car, but you might as well make the most of that time you can get away with such an impractical car! im...

was a wash, there was a massive police operation to cut down on the scene there!! i believe it will be the same story next weekend, their operation is from 10pm until 2am!! as a general rule, im there every weekend with a few of my clio lot!!

i dont think they suit modern cars at all, and youll have them for about 10 minutes before you get pulled!! lol

Limo tits, non OEM rear lights, twin exhausts, massive wheels that make the brakes look tiny,

bhp gain from stripping?? :P noo, not noticed any power to weight gain either, tbh i did it to simplfy the interior loom. n yush, im off to excel, ill be there around 1030-11ish if you were thinking of heading down, ill pm you my number!!

Well since you asked dude, there is actually quite a bit a managed to strip out!! This Became this!! a carefully cut all the un-used wiring from the interior loom! was scarey stuff!! And ended up like this! even lighter than before!! im thinking i might get a stereo hanger as any...

dont have it, PAS is for girls ;)
