Its the time of the year again when the weather goes grey and cold (like Scotland at best) when people deside to swap there nice alloys for a set of winter steels. This year i have went a diffrent way. ;)
My new winter wheels as i got her
A few days later a little lower.
And...
Ordered my Fk's the other day for my mk1, which is off the road getting my turbo engine put in. Just wondered if i could see some pics of Mk1's (vaver, Rt whatever) on coilovers.
Cheers Muchness!

Whats the diffrence between 1.8 16v suspension and the rest of the models?
Wider track?
Would 1.8 16v shocks fit lesser models like my 1.4rt???
Cheers Dave
gaz coilovers for my Mk1 Rt. Seen a set here but not sure on the price, is it a good price once you add vat??

Ok so i have found a 16v bonnet in a scrap yard, the car had a fire under the bonnet, so its a bit burnt! The guy only wants £20 for it . Its also a little bent on the front edge, worth it or not.
cheers Dave
Got my new brakes on (cheers nighticon for the calipers). I went from Rt brakes to 16v ones and the diffrence in braking performance is unreal. Fill the wheels better too.

Seen these. Question is are they any good? Or would i be better with a Gaz set? Its a Mk1 1.4Rt incase no one knows.

ok im looking at fitting a volvo turbo motor to my clio and the engine is the same basic design as the 1.8 RSi motor
ive been told however that the OSF engine mounting on the clio bolts to the side of the cylinder head, whereas on the volvo unit the head isnt used for mounting the engine at...
Are Clio16v Mk1 calipers the same as 5 Gtt calipers?
it seems they are the same part number in the brakeword catalog but the clio runs 260mm disks and the 5 runs 238mm ones
are just the carriers different? or is the whole thing the same and the clio hub makes it sit futher out??
I want to put a 16v rear beam on my Rt to have discs all round (fronts on there way) but how hard is it to do? Does the torsion bar have to come off? How dear are they? Any info would be great.
Dave
I am looking into putting a 17t lump in my Rt. Putting valver brakes on and a proper suspension set up but not sure on the exhaust. Will the Rt exhaust be ok (dont want the bore size restricting power)? Or would i be better getting a 1.8 16v exhaust (bigger bore?) or something custom made...
Right i am starting to get bored of the clio, but love the way it looks etc, its just the power that dissapoints! Any way thinking of putting a 1.7t lump in from a Volvo but i want to sort out the brakes and suspension first. SO
Can i fit the brakes from a 2.0 16v 172 as these are 280mm which...
Can someone please photochop a valver bonnet onto my car. Need a new bonnet and think a valver one might look good. Thanks in advance.

Was going to lower my torsion bar yesterday, but decided to pile a few people in the boot to see what it looked like (i hated it). But we forced Eviljohn (6ft5) in to the boot. He looks sooo comfy. LMAO

Sooo happy that i finally have my wheels back on, some (or most) wont like them but I think they really set off my car. Before anyone says that i have a dent on my bonnet i know, some tw@ dropped his motorbike on the front of my car and just drove away again. Enjoy the pics. Dave
Ps sorry...
Ahhh so pissed off again, was at work today when one of my work mates came in and says "Dave, this dude just dropped his motorbike on your car" Laughing i went out just to check, the b*****d had!!! Then a girl came over to me and said that she had seen the full thing. I confronted the guy and he...
Just got my wheels back after being refurbed, look spot on. Cant wait to put them on the car. Ordered my tyres last night, so just waiting till they come and then they will be on. Pics.....
What do you all think? Not sure on the silver caps, might paint them black aswell.
Ps. sorry about...
Just fitted my Cobra monacos in my Mk1 clio. Now does anyone get a really sore arse after like 10 mins of driving? Does your bottom get used to it? If not then i am going to have to buy a wee pillow to sit on.
Anyone? dave :(
Finally got the pics onto the comp so here they are

So pissed off. Was sound deading my car today and took the back bench out to get the floor done. Gave my tw*t of a cousin my back seat and said put it over there, but he wanted me to read a f**king message on his phone, he then leans the back bench (metal bits pointing towards the car) and it...
