I've seen a guide about removing the seat from under the car, seems easy. I was just hoping I could remove the seat leaving the subframe so I can have a go at fixing it whilst it's still intact.
The passenger seat on the other halfs Clio has died, it no longer clicks into place and a small piece of metal fell out the back. Imagine that was something to do with mechanism?
Anyway I'm wanting to know if the subframe can be removed so I don't have to buy a whole new seat? If so is it...
Depends what sub box you have? I'd just make a shallow square sub box that fits in the hole and then fit a false floor over the top so it all sits flush.
I've never had them but ppl seemed to rave about them a couple of years ago on the MX5 forum, I never purchased any as it's an everyday car but for a weekend/track car they sounded great. The majority of 'cheap' coilover are pretty trashy but for some ppl it's all about the looks so I can see...
I've heard of a few springs snapping on Clios not sure if they're standard or uprated. I know sportlines seem to change hands a fair amount on here and always hold their value so they must be ok.
Just got back from Renault, they took pictures and looked at it on the ramp and it's a bit of a mess. The chap from the service desk didn't really care as it's an old car and said it could happen?! However when I asked him if he'd heard or seen of it happening before he said no....
The photos...
Spoke with Renault today and they've booked me in to the local dealership to have photos and an inspection done. Not sure what the outcome will be but I'm slowly making progress! Hopefully I'll get a new bumper out of it but I'm still very doubtful....
I just use the proper oil filter tool for clios that fits around the whole filter. I think it was about £5 from euro car parts, saves all the stress and mess!
My old 106 handled very well but it was on a track setup. The Clio is standard apart from the cup pack and still feels pretty good and with a track setup I bet it would be just as good!!
I've had both and I'm currently looking for an S1 Rallye project car for the winter. The Clio is a lot more refined but it has so many extras over a 106.
No rush, I've got it back and it's drivable however eml and emissions lights are constantly on. On a couple of occasions it's gone back to it's original problem which is solved by leaving your foot on the accelerator turning the engine off then back on and it starts working again!
Going to...
