    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    Up to about 60 I found they are roughly the same (two different cars against mine) after that I found the Willy would pull. I'd be wanting a Willy lump, cams the lot tbh. I do agree about the lack of torque.

    Polishing metal (exhaust tips)

    Wait til I give my spare back box a going over, I've not even seen it in real life yet, it could get interesting.

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    I'd have one that had been messed with as tbh 137bhp these days is woeful (imo) I'd want one with some proper stuff done to it.

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    Dug some out. Proper sh*t heap it was lol ! Apart from the wheels needing a refurb, which I never got round to (they were like that when I go it) It was a very very good example. Excuse the Avon's, awful tyres.

    There weren't no, his ones rare as it's an N reg - also if it has factory leather in it it's very rare ! My old 'sh*t one' :rolleyes: lol, had factory leather in it, it's nice stuff.

    PS request, Cup Racer Lights

    That car is mint ! Not all cup racer cars have those head light 'blanks' though, some seem to have normal ones:S

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    Heaps now though, they mainly rotten away back in the 90's. The Fiesta RS turbo is about a group more than that, they are better, but you'll be looking at very very bad ones for the money, they too will be rotten. The Clio would be the better bet for the money, your best of driving one tbh.

    few new pics of the tubby one

    Don't get French style plates for it, they look a bit 'hmmm' now tbh.

    A Saxo VTS tbh. Or a Pug 106 gti.

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    I don't have pics of the arches & bay etc. I sold the car years ago now. Yes the low mileage engine was probably a bit knackered. It was quicker with the original 90k engine in it.

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    It would have won one yeah - if i'd have taken it along to a show, but I didn't, so unless they are going to come round my house with an award, I don't stand much of it getting one. It was mint, you haven't seen it - you don't know. You can tell me it's crap as much as you like, I don't care...

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    That's not what I said. I said it was better with the higher mileage engine in it. It was crap with the lower mileage one. The engine on 90k let go as the oil pressure pump failed on it. Lol @ it being a nail ! I had it for about three years before it went t*ts up. The car was far from a...

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    I think it's fair to say that 99% of valvers have had 99% of their parts replaced, so as they have new parts it's fair to compare them. You are right it wasn't on 5k miles, it was on more than that (90k like I said) & tbh the engine in it was good until it let go, with the lower mileage one...

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    I had the valver for about four years, ok I didn't track it, but I did a lot more than traffic light GP's. I never even mentioned them, off the line could be anywhere, I didn't say it was on the street.

    Nice Del Sol...

    Lol, I googled it too mate. Kingdom look to have gone bust years ago.

    Worth an import???

    Yep shame tbh. I can't believe how bits listed you don't get with it :( It does look the t*ts though !

    Enzo/Lambo Hybrid

    I've seen these before, they are still as bad as when I first saw them.

    Painting The Headlights to Black

    Take the V6 badge of it ! I think it looked nice how it was, I do appreciate that you've tried something differnt, but I think they looked fine un-touched.

    few new pics of the tubby one

    The sun strip & rear lights aren't my thing, apart form that it's nice. I like the colour.

    Nice Del Sol...

    I remember Kindom & 'Pinky' but not their del sol, I probably would if I saw a pic of it.

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    Tbh they aren't fast at all, unless looked after they are not reliable. I agree with Daniel - for every one good one, you'll five heaps. I sold mine years ago & tbh even back then it was very hard to get a good one. Not in my experience, off the line against a phase 1 172 i'd be level, after...

    Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

    Tbh for that money, you won't really find a decent one, you might do if you look hard enough though. Most are very old now (last of the line was '96) and lots suffer from rusty arches & sills (plus other bits) What i'm saying is, you'll see more rubbish ones than you will good ones.
