Well after fitting my new wheels and waking up to a lovely day,i decided a good clean in and out was needed! (Sorry for the pics, only taken on my phone)
Mods in the next few months will be:
Eibach Sportlines
Ph2 colour coded side strips
Silver visions
Dual optics (depending upon being able to...
Re: Not really from the beginning but my project
Looks good mate, how hard were the clocks to do? I wasnt sure if you could put the better clocks into the ph1's!!? What model were they from?
Wanted a 172 bumper but got this so cheap i couldnt turn it down. Whole ph2 rear didnt cost me anything so can always change the bumper in the future.
Gave it a good clean (inside and out), destickered all the crappy dealer stickers, put on my CS sticker on and CS tax disc holder today, pics in...
Van drivers can't see out of the rear window, just use your wing mirrors and man up! With the seats down flat you can get a suprising amount of crap in the wee thing!
After a quick test managed to get 77mph'ish before i changed as i didnt wanna hit the limiter, think it probably would just do it, despite sounding like it wanted to explode.
You say about struggling to get to 80 in 5th, but to be honest it all depends how hard you're willing to push the engine. When i first got my car i really thought it was awful on motorways and had no power at all, but now i'm willing to take it to the top end of the revs its quite different, i'm...
Cheers Da, i thought this would be the case, and i agree about what you said about eibach but the thing that confuses me is this...
Would the weight difference not be much greater between a 1.4 and 2.0 compared to a 1.2 and 1.4? If this is the case how can a spring be suitable for all of the...
Looks as though you've bent the brackets that hold the bumper etc in place, if you take it all off, i mean everything, bumper, wing, front little grille bit, light and then take a look at the brackets maybe some can be bent back into place. Refit it all it should look a lot better!
If you...
You should get your car weighed now, or should have or should still (if you still have it) weigh the entire contents of your interior, i mean every little bit, giving you a new car weight and then a new BHP per tonne.
I'm not quite with you on the 172 thing, but i'm quite interested to know...
Theres 2 more lads in sidcup that i met last week, and i'm pretty sure theres someone else in orpington! (cant remember who but i remember talking to him ages ago)
Theres probably a fair few more around here but more of the meets near us tend to be southend based etc so dont really get to know...
I'm aware that there are two different sets of sportlines for the mk2 clio, those for the 1.2 and those for EVERY other model.
Now my question is, is weight the only deciding factor here are or are there any fittiments which are different on the 1.2 compared to any of the other clios?
If not...
Another one local! Good stuff! Biggest difference being when i was 17 i hadnt really been on forums etc and just went along with what i thought was "cool"!
Cheers for the comments! Glad it meets CS approval :P
How? JUST HOW? The first time i've seen a set of 2nd hand sportlines for my car in forever, and they're sold before they are even in the for sale section, think i'm gonna have a breakdown...
Cheers anyway mate ;)
Cheers for the info mate, looks amazing what you done so far!
It sounds like a shed load of effort to sort out that centre piece!!! The one i got doesnt have the vents in either so it would mean taking mine out, which doesnt sound good. Maybe i'll give it a miss for a while.
Are you selling...
LOL at the chav comments! Too much need for speed on PS2 and being 17 FTL it seems!
At least the centre caps on the old ones matched the colour of the car!!
Looks great mate, how difficult was it to get the centre vents out? Someone mashed mine when they stole a stereo out of the car years ago, and i have another one sitting in the garage, but when i found out the whole dash had to come out i left it!!!
Was the old car on springs or coliles?
Jesus mate, thats a fair old distance from here, i'll put myself as a maybe though as it'd be nice to meet some people from the club, i'll let ya know by friday, can i convoy down with ya? (even if i wont be able to keep up) ;-)
Edit: take it back not that far, i'll be there!
Can this be linked to the stupid people thread? ;)
"Will put more later with the splitter on!!"
I was meerly asking about how it went, after struggling with fitting one to the 182 due to no axel stands at the time!
