So... where are the 3 & 4 pointers fastened to?

Well yes, but they were the more expensive of the 2! No-one here got Highsports on their mk1?

On the chic body of the Clio it looks as though the road marking painter couldn't be arsed to walk around the vehicle.

FKRT12 Very interested in these for my Mk1, phase2 Clio. But different websites say different things! Venom Motorsport say: Front axle adjustable within TUV guidelines only. No extreme lowering. 15/45mm Renault Clio B/C 57 http://www.venommotorsport.com/shop/index.html Europerformance...

I'll even drive to anywhere in West Yorks if someone can drop front & back of my mk1 for £100 cash! ;)

I've been quoted £25 to weld a gas strut back onto the boot of my Clio, but can pick up a arc welder for £90 that could own for life. Is it possible to teach yourself to weld? Presumedly the professionals would say no, and one recognises the inherent dangers, but anyone had any joy?

...<stops to breathe> :dead: :)

Thanks. Where are the 3 & 4 pointers fastened to?

It only takes a couple of hours if you know what you're doing! Come round my place and do it for £100 if you like! ;)

With 3, 4, 5 or 6 point seatbelt harnesses available, which one to go for? What are the advantages / disadvantages?

Esp. Huddersfield / Leeds area. Any suggestions / ideas of cost (60mm front & back, mk1)?

:( I can't tell anyway. All seats except drivers removed. Need a bigger engine. Feckin' insurers. :S

No-one ever used / heard anything 2nd hand about Cobra universal subframes? What do they involve?

100 miles a day. Not the end of the world.

Clearly its yours Denty. Why not just post a pic / suggest a price rather than hiding behind tiresome spam? Lame f*cker.

I picked up a pair of Cobras for just £161 on eBay, yey! But the Clio mk1 subframes are £65 each and I'm only keeping the mk1 for a year or 2 until it dies. Could I use the 'budget universal subframes'? How easy are they to fit? (don't mind spending a few hours but not very good at...

Not really. I'll keep driving it until it dies, then take the wheels / alloys / other mods out to put in a new car.

Mmmm. Not sure if I'm up to it. What about 'universal subframes'. Good choice or more pain than its worth?

There's always a way. Kickin' sounds with the vrooooom in the background ; )

Wow. How could you get / afford the mods / insurance of a heavily modded mini at 19?! Internet millionaire?!

Yeah, deviating slightly from the original ICE related question (which has been answered)! But its all about sound. What I'm asking is if I can get a significantly more sporty sound under my stripped rear by fitting a performance exhaust.

Presumedly they're a premier brand but £450 for a pair of good 75mm seatbelts?! It approaches what some of us paid for our mk1s!

Yeah, the road & exhaust sound is definately more noticeable without the rear fittings, but this is part of the drive. I don't mind it competing with the music. Will it sound significantly sportier with a performance exhaust or is it impossible to get this on a 1.2?

I'm not so worried about the weight. I just wondered if it might look more sporty / rally with the front stripped too. But I didn't want to strip to find ugly surprises / areas that haven't been painted / mats & braking foot sliding all over the place.

To update, I've just bought a pair of Cobra Monaco S. I don't need the seats to tilt / move in any way as the rear is stripped. Cobra want £130 for a pair of all singing and dancing subframes. Is there a cheaper way of doing this?

A month on, here are my conclusions. Disadvantages: There is no noticeable increase in power. There is a definate dead spot, particularly in 1st and 2nd gears. Feels like the engine needs retuning, especially when cold. There is probably a lot more dirt getting into the engine (based on...

Lol. I've got an 11 year old 1.2L, (only model I can afford to insure with zero no claims bonus). I just want to look as though I'm looking at rallying. And yes I do have modding insurance - surprisingly it was less than £100 more than standard, and I can do practically what I want with the car...

Just wondered.

If I've stripped the rear and put in a rollcage, where / how should I install a powerful speaker system? I won't accept the 'one or the other' argument. I want rally looks and a Ministry of Sound system! Oh and its gotta be reasonably stealth! That is, not look like more than £100 speakers...

<looking circa 800 notes for the kit> Thats what I paid for the car, lol.
