thats what I though too.
Graham Goode Racing is very well respected amongst the rs boys. I doubt the dude would sell a sh*tter tbh.
Bit of a shame its not a lux model tbh (no leather, pop out windows & electric windows etc)
Give it to someone else.
It can be done with the engine in, iirc they just drop the subframe.
Find a decent renault specialist & get them to do it, it won't be more than £250 ish.
Places like mr clutch won't touch a valver (well not mine any way)
mines group 20 & cheaper (for me) to insure than a clio 172 & 172 cup !
- infact every where quoted me less for a cup than a 172. All on identical policies, with identical value cars.
If you are thinking of removing them i'd go it now as if you leave it a while (prob a few years tbh) the paint will have faded.
If not just leave them there.
As the car's so now I don't think you'll hava problem.
ukaskew - I know you really want a valver, have you considered a 106 gti instead ??
I'm not sure if there's any in your budget though & if so they may be ropey.
If I couldn't get a valver i'd get a 106gti (i did think about before I got the valver, but couldn't afford it at the time)
are renault ok to service a v6 clio ???
having read that they get most other ar*e about face, will they be ok with a v6 ??
or is it best off getting a specialist to do it ?
Tbh the green one sounds like a dog.
My old valver was what i'd call 'virtually mint' it was in top top mechanical condition, all it had were a couple of light scratches on the paint work & the wheels could have done with a re-rurb - thats it !!!
I sold her last July for £2,700 it was standard...
will you get yours serviced at renault steve ?
I'd be looking at a mk1 in a few months (if i was to go for one) I love the mk2 but don't have the £££'s yet.
Next question, who do you get to service it ?
Can Renault themselves actually be trusted on a v6 (my local main dealer, renault romford is good on my dads 172, but its not a vee is it !;) )
Also I know a couple of people on here have/had the same car as me (Tom a dude with a yellow mk2 v6 is...
eh ????? so if that dude's registered the car (i bet he hasn't):rolleyes: it'll be 8 owners now !:eek:
I know the cars legit, but having it for only 2 weeks - hmmmm:rolleyes:
Cap 16v, to be honest you'll need to explain in more detail about what you saw for us to give advice about it. (I used to own a mint 16v- so i know what i'm on about)
Fair enough Kitto ... i'll eat my words !! :o
The reason why I myself thought it was a wind up was because we have had a lot of fake uses on here claiming to own certain cars etc.:rolleyes:
(the fake users are normally forum members out for a laugh i must add)
Plus most forum members go mad...
look in the back of the boy racer mags for brokers etc.
i got my best quote on my valver that way, I was 21 with nothing at all - had been driving 3 years though.
tbh you'll prob be looking at £6k or something silly.
