I'm supposed to be going at 630 tomorrow morning. But I'm just loading the car on and my winch has decided to pack up. I'm fucked. My car is now outside with no windows, all the crap that was in and on the car is filling up the garage and I'm sat here like a turd with no plan what so ever. f**k...
Well mines a mk1 so I can only comment on that.
Imo, its made a very small difference to the weight. Mk1's have virtually zero assistance once moving over 5mph. When parking/3 point turning its not much effort. If you're at Llandow hopefully mine will be there and you can try it.
They are worse than your clio.
I literally cannot think of another make/model of car that is as bad build quality wise. Absolutely s**t.
You seem to be completely blinkered and the likelyhood is you will buy one anyway. I will say this...
I TOLD YOU SO!
Lets all try and remember that the 225/230's were all built in a completely different factory.
Megane non sports are complete crap. Literally fall apart in your hands.
Its something less for the engine to run. Even if you haven't got it switched on its still got to rotate the pulley and that takes power. MAy only be a small amount, but it still takes it.
I'd sack it off. I also sacked off power steering because that meant I could make a kit out of a Renault...
I've been really impressed with MWM from the (very!) little i've seen of them on here. First the budget turbo build which is still going strong, and then the 197 cams. Both showing that they're thinking ahead.
Very kind offer (yet again! lol) but once chips got it running my next priority is to find somewhere to keep it and work on it. I can't do anything until thats covered.
Yours is white. And you've sat in it. So no Ta.
I don't know yet. I need to let chip have a look at it first so he can see if he wants to get involved. If not, I'll leave it up for sale, if he decides he fancies a bash at it, I'll delete the for sale ad.
Just a waiting game now.
Funnily enough, a mate rang me today to tell me about this guy.
''Dan, I know you're into clio's but you need to see what this bloke is advertising stuff for! He must be on crack!''
I explained to him that he most probably is on crack.
It meant the world to me mate, still does! The huge financial loss doesn't really bother me as it was never about the money, I just bought whatever I needed and knew i'd lose money, thats just a project! But the fact i've spent so much time on it since day one and the fact I was determined to...
Now for sale. :(

Been thinking about it non stop all day mate. MY wifes told me to keep it and finish it ''one day'' but there is no point. Everytime I open the garage I feel sick looking at it and I've got another track day coming up that i'll have to use another car for and that in itself pisses me off.
