agreed, most are now track 'prepared' (read bodged) so looking to keep both mine standard enough to put to totally stock as and when required!

Yeah defo look like suffered some harsh treatment, bonded to rusty discs or something

Cheers Louis, she's getting a bit old now and well worn like a city sauna slapper but she keeps on trucking! I do still have the arb, however it's alas not for sale as it's destined for my mk1 track car! Sorry!

Lovely barge, I keep wanting a plush daily estate but part of me has the same dark streak of loving an old knacker to hack about in

Breaking news, washed it and cleaned the interior. Plans to return the h&r's soon as I've acquired coilovers for the Odyssey....

Stick with it, always bit alarming dismantling the engine but worth it with a bit of patience :-)

Just read whole thread @182_steve and the cars an absolute credit to you. Love the oem+ approach and attention to detail is superb and honestly I'm properly looking forward to when (I presume) you tackle the engine bay

I've now bought another, so still heavily invested in clio love!

looks lovely! credit to you! :)

yeah nigh on impossible to keep it under a grand, my phase 1 is creeping up as I find stuff I want!lol!

May be happening.... Just a rumour ;-) Cheers, I've always liked a tidy bay

Gonna say didn't think f1's weighed that much

I can't notice anything really under road conditions between say a 15" turbine with heavy ns2 tyres and a 15" Williams wheel with lighter Michelins. On track I could say I can notice between the ns2 shod turbines and the track wheels (15" 4.9kg Oz superleggera with reduculously light Dunlop...

Nice

Miiiiiint

Rot box in the end, poor thing!

Yeah guess the adjustment is just a nice perk, think main reason is what I put, particularly for track cars

Electronic power steering, the mk2 dci's had it and can bolt it onto 1*2's Means simplified under the bonnet setup and one less system to piss fluid out. Not sure on weight saving, may be a little but the epas motorised column is pretty heavy

could well be knocking shocker tbh, get that sorted first before digging any deeper

Quick update, pictureless but full of entertainment! So decided to insure the phase 1 other day, added it to my adminral cover on the 182 for the princely sum of 130 quid to novemeber when the renewal on both will then be due. Taxed it on the pay later monthly scheme and sorted! Blumming 283 a...

it'll never be better than a phase 1 ;-) nah nice to see another one saved and the cups are great cars out the box, sort the niggles on this one and should be a good one!

Okay, project engine bay tidy and interior tinker along with some other bits last weekend! First job, bought a new number plate light and LED bulb, so fitted that: Then got a new hazard switch as the old one looked off, recessed indicator and all covered in glue or something, so had to...

yey, phase 1 of win!

Thanks! Sort of agree, I prefer the phase 1 front end and less colour coding but the rear is not quite on par with the later car. Thinking of fitting a cup spoiler to add a bit of aggression!

mega

Kahn, as in the range rovers, they're actually designed?!! thought someone just drove them through ripspeed followed by the Argos jewellery section

So what your saying is RB is better yes? ;-)

no way I would leave the sills as they are, it'd bug the hell out of me, not to mention devalue the car as first place anyone looks on the old clios is the sills! for a stock oem restoration i'd have to get that repair flushed! great plans for the car though, should be lovely when done!

great pics @Dr Jekyll weirdly it think the RB suits the more cluttered environments (graffiti'd walls etc.) and the EDC the cleaner areas.......

Smash a couple of pics into here for good measure too :-)
