Could you please post picturess of your lowered Mk1 Clios and say how much it is lowered by and how big the wheels are. I am really looking for pictures of Non 16v or Williams Clios because mine is a Mk1 Ph2 1.4 RT. Im hoping to go 55mm but that would probably mean some scrubbing so I just...

Spotted a Renault Sport near the Heriot Watt university tonight (coming down Riccarton Mains). Couldnt see if it had a Cliosport sticker as it was dark but I thought I would post it anyway as I dont see many 172/182s normally.

Is there anywhere else anyone would recommend I should look for a cheap trolley jack?

Does the accesory belt need to be changed as well, or is it advisable?

Thanks for the offer Mike but I am actually base din Edinburgh so I think it might be a bit far to go for a cambelt change ;)

I am hoping to have the cambelt changed soon because I have just bought my car (Mk1 Ph2 1.4RT) and it is on 66,000 so I just want to have it changed to be on the safe side. How much should this cost (roughly) to have it done at a garage? Ill try a few garages tomorrow but I dont know if some...

Me too!!!! [Edited by donsrno1 on 16 June 2005 at 10:11pm] Im guessing you must have a bit of a problem with traction?

How much is it lowered by and what is the minimum height on the jack? Thanks.

Thanks bud - that would be excellent. I thought they were the bits you were meaning but I wanted to check first. I couldnt go Jack shopping today as I am trying to avoid using the car as the bearings are f**k so Ill need that sorted before I can get myself a jack and get cracking with some...

They look good mate. Is it pretty difficult to get a good finish on them and is there a guide or anything that you used for doing them? My clio is Naples Red and I think it would look great if it was dropped 60mm and had some black valver alloys.

Did you have valver wheels on it before anyway or did you buy the wheels like that? I would quite like to get some black or anthracite coloured Valver wheels for my 1.4 RT but im not sure how much that would set me back.

Ive had a look under the car and I think I know where you mean but Im not 100% sure. Is it the part that runs from the start of the sill to about the middle of the drivers door (or passengers on the other side) and does it run parallel to the side of the car about 1 to 1.5 foot towards the...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Ill measure how far under the car that jacking point is tomorrow and then check what height the jack is at at that point when I go jack shopping tomorrow.

Ill have a look at for those jacking points tomorrow. How far under are they and would you have any trouble getting to them with a trolley jack on a clio lowered 60mm. I know it would vary depending on the jack but do you think you would manage this with a jack of minimum height 14cm or would...

I was wondering where people would recommend as the best places to use as jacking points, with a trolley jack, for a Mk1 Ph2 1.4 RT. The reason I amsking is that I was looking in the Haynes manual and it suggests that for the front you use the subframe with a piece of wood across it but I am...

Im sure someone mentioned this in another tread earlier and that Renault had fixed it. It was something similar anyway. Ill see if I can find it.

ooohh. What wheels are they racerstu?

As JayR said mefinks. But some are a bit slow ;)

If someone had a solution to this it would be great because although I can always get it to start its a pain having to try twice before it fires. Does everyone else find that it is only if the car has been left for a few hours that this happens?

My Mk1 does this all the time. Its a bit of a pain in the arse. I heard some people metioning a TDC sensor in other posts?

I might take you up on that offer at some point dave. I might just stick to springs for the moment because Im trying to keep he costs down. Unfortunately I just spotted earlier today that I have an oil leak so I am going to get that sorted and give it a good service and get the cambelt done...

Thanks for the help people. If anyone could give their thoughts on lowering and what kit is best that would be really helpfull as Im not too sure if it might be pushing it to go for 60mm. I have sent you a PM JonnyK. Dave - I was actually going to ask you what you had on yours dave as...

Thanks for the advice arj. Have you got any link or anything for the ashley back boxes or could you say roughly how much they are? (Ill google it in a minute and see what comes up) I dont want that with my suspensio but I do love the look of really low cars. What size wheels do you have...

thanks jay. My monitor is a bit strange just now and I cant see some things properly. I suppose it could be the beer thats causing it though ;)

I got a 1.4 RT recently and Im now looking to start doing a few modifications. Im not planning on doing anything major to it but I just want to improve the appearance/sound of it. The mods I am looking to do are a back box, alloys and lowered to start off with and hopefully people can help me...

whats the number plate on the Pug? I cant read it properly.

has anyone taken the black stuff off a naples clio as I am thinking of doing it but Im not sure of how good it would look.

the car in the corner of the picture

Fubar Mk2 ;) I really like those alloys mate but try and lower it as it would look loads better.

Where can I get a copy of this price list? If anyone can e-mail it to me my address is donsrno1@hotmail.com
