Hmm a good point about being too dark,
When I'm next on my computer ill put some photshops up someone so kindly did me!
so if I didn't want to go as standard as silver,
And white was out of the question,
Then what would you suggest?? Lol
Just as I've almost made my mind up about everything, people throw options at me and make me think :(
Wheels are already silverish bt were flaking to shite so I wanted to furb them a new colour that looked abit more track orientated!
Where would I even begin to look for paint with a nice...
I too was tempted, but a friend of mine has a very similar blue mk1 on white wheels,
So in the interests of keeping things different, I'm going for black! And the cage is going black to match the wheels!
I might give her a clean over the next few days and post a few more pics up!
Oh and...
best bet is to look out for some adjustable coilover rear springs!
there are very few off the shelf springs lower than 60mm,
there are some custom 90mm rear lowering springs but that'll be far to low for 60mm fronts!
all you need is the spring/coilover
if you're just doing the springs, then it doesnt matter what the bolt spacing is!
but if theyre 58mm then you can get coilovers on the cheap!
if youre going for look,
lower it to the damn floor ;)
rokkor only do coilovers for 58mm bolt spacing.
USUALLY its only the 8v that have 52mm bolt spacing,
BUT knowing renault, they often mismatch them so best to just measure.
you can always just get a set of 58mm hubs, £20 each from a breakers!
OK so ive not bothered washing her because i simply cannot be bothered,
since i don't need a car to get to college, and im going uni in september so i wont need a car at all, i decieded to buy something hideously impractical....just for the giggles!
but shes coming along nicely from the state...
definatley doesnt sound like a clutch problem dude,
as said look under the car and see if you can plonk into each geat esily,
if you, then its probs your linkage!!
(i need to basically do this tomorrow as mines playing up too :(
changing gear is feeling more and more like a pudding spoon in gravey!
there is so much movement left to right in each gear,
and first and second seemed to have moved so far to the left that you have to push hard left to find them! (as well as reverse!!)
would changing my linkage solve this...
Simple answer = NO
nonsports will have either 52mm bolt spacing or 58mm bolt spacing.
NORMALLY 8v=52mm
and 16v=58mm,
but good old renault have a habit of mixing a matching when building clios!
easiest to just keep an eye out on here,
ill most probably be down there with a few clios this weekend if its not crawling with police again!
either way im buying a new front numberplate! lol
tbh we've not had a single lakeside gathering on a saturday night,
infact the only CSer ive ever...
its a F7P engine,
used in clio 1.8 16v mk1 clios,
its just a nickname the engine has recieved, yes all engines use valves and CAN be called valvers,
but any rocker cover can be painted red, and called a red top,
its just a name!
