There's some better pics of the wheels on this car somewhere, just can't seem to find them

There's a guy on clio16valver that's done these before after another guy on there has polished the whole of the wheel, will try & find pics for you, the centre caps are metal, it's the centre caps on ph2 valver wheels that are either plastic or metal

Been for sale for fookin ages that has :rolleyes: I couldn't shift mine for £2.2k and it's better than that one, I'll feel sorry for anyone that pays over £1500 for that car :dapprove:

Not worth it unless you're going to drop a better engine in there imo, but probably cheaper to buy a 1.8 16v & get that done up for track work you need to decide if you're willing to spend the time, money & effort required to make your 1.2 into a viable track toy or to go & get a better Mk1...

What model mk1 have you got?

AMEN Brother!! :clap::hail:

Unlucky mate :dapprove:

That's a bit different, he's referring to the lack of a pulley being driven by the belt off the crank hence less drag on the engine. Basically it's the electrics and the power steering being driven by 1 pulley instead of 2 (with an electric PAS pump)

Been there, done that & since parking is such a tiny part of driving I can live with the extra difficulty since the all round drive is so much better without the PAS

Done it at the same time as I was swapping the engine so not very long in the grand scheme of things I was very surprised at how much stuff I removed from the engine for it to work, brackets, pump, pipework & the manual rack must weigh about half what the PAS rack weighed

10kg sounds realistic, I've just removed the power steering on my mk1 & replaced it with what they used on the mk1 cup racers, not weighed the bits but I reckon I've saved about 15-20kg

Maybe a bit of a long shot on here since it's for my valver :S but.... Got my new engine & gearbox in, all working fine except for the bit that the clutch wont disengage :mad: I'm guessing the issue is the cable, the ratchet or both :rolleyes: I haven't got a clue how to sort these and...

My ones, relisted http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wossner-Clio-Williams-Megane-Low-Comp-Forged-Pistons_W0QQitemZ140337801674QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20acc8e9ca&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 will let them go a lot cheaper if someone wants to deal outside of ebay ;)

I got my last pair of paradas for £56 off ebay :D 195/50/15 though

I'd be interested in knowing this as well but I bet the paradas are cheaper so more likely I'd choose them

Just done an engine swap on my car over the weekend...never again lol Details here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=443273 ;) Can probably get the same engine minus the new bits for a bit less, just another option as you could look at finding a non runner for a bit less money

Do the rules say it has to be standard engine, if not look for any mk1 then buy my valver engine & drop it in ;)

Might be easier to find a valver, unless you've spotted 1 for sale iirc the main difference between the 8v rsi & the valver is whereabouts in the rev range the peak torque come in, the rsi's is lower down

Was up for sale from Jan - April, had no interest so I'm keeping it, new engine & gearbox going in this weekend

It's not a recent pic but any excuse :rasp: Editing fail :o

It's not a recent pic but any excuse :rasp:

Was going to say get the valver & put 172 widetrack on it :cool: The only real problems are just wear & tear items due to the age of the cars, no big deal in the grand scheme of things. In your situation I'd definately flog the 17poo, £3k pocket money and a mint valver would be win win all round

That looks like fun, have you got any details about doing that, cost, links?? I'll point my m8 to this thread as I reckon he'd like to do this sort of thing in his Vee, the poof daren't do a proper track day in it :rolleyes: so this may be the next best thing

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild Tut tut Danny :rolleyes: that'll turn pink a lot sooner than naples will :rasp:

It seems you've spotted 1 of the original RS clios ;) 2live has it spot on Value wise, it all depends on the condition, mileage, what's been replaced & what hasn't. I've seen half rotten shitters go for about £300-400 and up to just over £2k for a minter and anything up to £4k for an...

Go for the V8 ;)

Got my wossner forged low comp pistons on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=140327674225, if anyone's interested outside of ebay they're £350 ono ;)

poor b*stard :dapprove:

can't he take it back? 14 day cooling off period on any & all credit agreements applies here doesn't it?

Never been in or driven a vee then ;) trust me they take the piss out of any 2.0l clio My housemate recently had a major service done on his vee at a stealer - Ezra Sugden Renault in Worksop, massive V6 enthusiast - cam belt (engine out job), clutch, oil & filter, plugs, new pads all round...
