Errmmm…

Was behind/next to this for a mile in traffic today. Sounded absolutely glorious every time he left a gap and booted it. Just a shame Johnathan Woss chose the number plate.

Not something g you want to do frequently on a plastic window. They scratch/haze so easily. Much better to avoid that if possible.

I cleaned the engine bay on my mums car with a bottle of gunk and a hosepipe. Got rid of soooo much grime. This was when chemicals were proper chemicals!! My mum then convinced two of her friends to have their engines done and being 12/13 years old I had no idea what I was doing. Both cars were...

If you’re going to try and piss all over someone’s misfortune at least have your evidence ready to back up your statement. I’m still waiting for you to show me how to build a car the same as this for less than £20k. But all you have are gif’s.

Enlighten me you irritating nonce. Show me how you can build a rust free and never been welded Mk1 Clio 16v - with this spec - for under £20k. I’m all ears…

This is now for sale. (Along with all my other cars - Orion, ph1 172, 182 FF RB, Range Rover, Foesta Zetec S) Price is £12k. I wil do a proper advert at the weekend. The only px I want is a sub £2k diesel estate car. Ideally auto.

Yep. I’m in contact with another guy about their s**t service/workmanship and incompetence- and worse still lying! He’ll get his comeuppance. But back on topic… I’m going to sell it I think. I’ll get the clutch issue sorted for good and then I’ll do some pics and an advert. Which won’t take...

For the rear I Jack it up in the middle of the beam and then put stands at either end of the beam. For the front, I do it the same way as @RichValver - no way I’m jacking it up on a sill or the subframe. 😂

Renewing.

Standard. Thats another thing it went to Beaniesport for and never got. I put a B&M short shifter in the car and asked him to fit it. Came back with no B&M Short shifter. The more I think about the more I need to just go and beat him up and delete his number and move on with my life.

Ever since the box went in. It’s a new (to me) gearbox. But unused since it was built. If that makes sense. I can’t even remember who I bought it off now. 😂

Crunches in 5th.

I can’t. For reasons explained to me that I’ll never understand.

Car was dry and cold, out of direct sunlight, sprayed it on, left to sit for 2/3 mins, then washed the panels with a bucket of hot water and a microfibre cloth. (They’re more grabby than wash mitts - that was my justification)

I’ve used this on a car once, worked really really well. Also, if you can, hot water. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266568061319?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=YidCddhLRW6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=yuhFMh5BRYC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Wow, what a buy! I’d love that for my son. Where did you find it?

Whatever the cause - it’s rebuild time. If you run slightly thicker oil and don’t drive like a helmet, it could last for years like that. But if you like driving it fast - you either need to buy another engine or have yours refreshed I’m afraid.

I have a Mk1 but knowing Renault it’s the same. 😂 Mine had worked loose and fell down inside the rear wing. As @Gus says, get the rear door card off and have a look inside. Even better if you have a magnet on a stick. If it has indeed vanished in to thin air, just wang some bolts on and use...

Very kind mate. Yes the clutch and the gearbox are what’s making me hate it. When it was standard it was mint. I’ve then spent north of £5k on a fresh box, diff, custom shafts and hydraulic clutch and it’s 100 tines worse than it was before. I hate it now. @colesy - just the continuous air...

Loads. Can’t be arsed to go in to it all again. I get PTSD every time someone mentions them.

I’m thinking of selling this. Since it’s last trip to Beaniesport - and the f**king s**t state they left it in - I’ve fallen out of love with it. Whats it worth? How do I price it?! Mk1 clio 16v Totally rust free - all original arches and sills - no filler! 172 running gear Gripper Hydraulic...

Only you could wear boat shoes fixing some headphones and get away with it.

Look forward to some clean pics and some detailed pics of the rear. It looks like an awesome bit of work tbf.

I so want to do Cadwell. Every year I say I’m going to do it next year but it never happens sadly. Got any vids??

I got mine from Harry (?!) the detailing guy in here. Dirt cheap.

Yep. I use it to clean my trainers too. 😂

This stuff is brilliant. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145347599381?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bn42ZQx9QHC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=yuhFMh5BRYC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Nothing is selling unless it’s cheaper than everything else at the moment. Proper hard work.

That’s so awesome. So so awesome. Testament to looking after things properly!
