I've done 12k ish a year in clios since I first passed my test in 2001, currently it's a 182 and just commuted 120 mile round trip to Birmingham for work today..... Was fine.... Suck it up tbh
Ai Mr Pittman has now got the mk1 virus and more than likely will assist if lubricated appropriately with compliments, twinkies and as a last resort cash monies
I've gone from new cup shocks and h&r springs to bilstien b14 coilovers on my daily........ Just go bilstien imo they're just a revelation in all honesty and in real terms not that much more expensive if you trawl the second hand market. I paid under half a grand for them.
Made another purchase, replica trophy spoiler and some rub strips as my current ones are mis match colours and this set along with the spoiler are a decent match for the car!
Hopefully get everything fitted over the weekend, coilovers, recaros, whiteline, 675 wheels and this stuff. Miiint
Bit more painting recently, tidied up front springs and brake booster plus the pedal box panel in the chassis.
About ready to start popping it all back together now :-)
Had to remove manifold again get the booster out and no pics of springs finished yet, I'll assemble them back to the coilovers...
my commute is 12 miles and can choose the steady A road cruise through the little towns or B road back route for a spank
use it for work trips to Birmingham down the A38/M6 once a week too but that's fine as well tbh, janspeed is mousey quiet and sits at 80 (km/h officer) no worries
they're a cult classic imo, cracking little car and that particular example looks a peach, low miles, good spec, well cared for and new meticulous owner.
winning all round imo
I've had clio issues for over 15 years now, I don't think it'll ever change
reckon I've owned at least 20 as well, including many mk1 16v, Williams' and sports.
nothing newer than my current daily 182 FF however so all crap, old, rattly, badly made and just simply awesome! lol!
