Are we reading the same thread??

I didn't mate. I'm useless at remembering stuff so I'd only end up doing half a job for a write up. I'll be getting out very soon to clean it etc so I'll take loads of pics then.

I'm not really sure what's to 'appreciate' with those cars?? They're f**king w**k.

Another old beauty just rocked up;

No that's under a cover in my mates garage. Next to the Fiat.

Two stunners in today;

Fantastic example. Even if I was loaded though I'd struggle to justify £77,800 to buy it. That's an obscene amount of money.

Where can I sign up?

Look up circuit motors and/or Sabre Tuning. They build big power FRS's but one of them runs a 172 as his daily and they are VERY knowledgeable people. I recently had my car mapped there as the previous owner seemingly had it mapped by drunken one hoofed donkey. Not sure how 'south' you are...

Mondeo sized tyres on a lowered Clio will never end well.

I echo this. It's only 20 minutes away from me, the weather will be amazing and its famed with cars.... but I have work coming out of my ass so I'd be daft to turn it away. Have a great time all.

Get a felt pen and put a spot the size of a 5p on the edge of the back of the pad. The machine should be oscillating fast enough that you can barely see it. If you can start to see the spot, you're pushing too hard. It's a great way to monitor pressure.

You say about giving it stick, are you pushing too hard? If you push too hard the machine can't oscillate properly and you just end up pushing Polish around the car. Have you drawn a spot on the back of the pad for reference? (Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs!)

You must have some proper Chinese/eBay specials! Or you're driving like your hair is on fire?? Have you changed the fluid recently?

£10k and they haven't even bothered cleaning the inside the lazy b******s!

It's belonged to (many!) forum members for nearly 12 years.

And the bonnet vents leaking water on to the plugs, and the alternators frying, and the sunroof's leaking.... they were a properly shoddy car. But f**k me were/are they cool!! I'd have another tomorrow!

I had a white ph2 chamade, a blue 3 door ph2, and when I met my Mrs she had a blue Ph1 5 door. I think we covered all R19 bases?? They all broke down though. Lots.

Yeah I appreciate the effort gone into that and it sounds very fast... but it looks pony. Does he compete in it?

f**k off!! Did you???

Best Clio ever. #mk1ownersneedtosticktogether

Yes. But some motors have different loom plugs if you're buying the whole lot.

Tell him it's sold as seen and to delete your number? Sounds like driveshaft/s though.

Track rod ends Ball joints Bottom arms (wish bones) Steering rack.... It could be anything. I'd personally take it to another garage. One that can actually be bothered to diagnose a fault properly.

If you do a google search there are dimensions online, then just pass them to your local sticker maker. They are in here too but it would have been about 12 years ago so it's a big search to do.

Plenty of better and cheaper cars out there.

I used to but s**t happens... Anyway, Pass noise test, get sticker, open flap, put remote in glove box, deny all knowledge.

Exhaust is awesome!! I work for mini and we were invited to a track day in 15 of our cars. One of them had this exhaust and they switched it to closed and confiscated the remote as it wouldn't pass sound tests with it open! Lol The pops and crackles are immense. Great work mate.

What's the deal with MCR? I see his branding over loads of cars, does he sponsor you?

Just saw this on Facebook. S2000 engined!
