changing rear bearings on my mates 1997 1.4 clio (mk1 ph3). but can't get the rear drums off. Took the 30mm centre nut out but they won't budge? is there anything else i need to take off? or is there a special tool/method to this?
god no.... he says he wants a car that handles
doesn't seem worth selling after all the work you have had done on it... as you know your not going to get any back for mods really.. It looks fabulous, i would keep it.
your mini was nice. you might miss the novelty supercharged noise and the longer gearing as the ratios are very short in the clio. Don't get me wrong though the clio is a very nice motor, quicker and handling will certainly be as good if not better.
keep the keys somewhere nobody would find them for now, like in the oven... oops... everyone knows now. To be fare sometimes its worse if they can't find the keys, as you don't know what they would do to you in order to obtain them. Id rather have a stolen car than a cut throat...
before you reattach them dry the edge that touches the shaft, and also dry the edge of the shaft it sits against. i assume your using a proper tool to tighten up the clip?
yeh slap a set of silver/grey turinis on it... would look smart.... Loads of people hate turinis. but at the end of the day they look the most factory.. and suit the car.. or some OZ F1's prefferably 16 inch.
tbh i would save your money, theyre quite a bit quicker but it still feels like the same car, whereas the 172 feels totally different, i would save the cash and get a 172/182 in a years time or something...
some came with discs, either earlier or later, vvt on them as well... silver handbrake buttons and handles, digi petrol and temp guage, diff wheels, diff seats, diff front bumper, diff grill, grey headlight surrounds, silver seatbelts, colour coded rear spoiler and silver gearknob insert, think...
