Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... I've got 172 bottom arms on a williams subframe. It did have williams arms but I bent them trying to undo the hub nuts! lol. The blue shell has been painted in 172 cup (mondial) blue. Its fine for a track car, but this is my pride...

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Its been standing (outside!) for the last 12 months so I'm fully expecting plastic connectors etc to be brittle and snap. Thankfully I still have 4 other clio's floating about and the remains of the last one we broke so hopefully I...

You had just slated his car, as a result he didn't want to waste his time letting you drive it, you weren't going to buy it! Tbh, using the insurance was a bit of a cop out. Should have just told you straight! What garage was it? (please say it wasn't mine!! lol)

So i've had this car for nearly 4 years. I bought it from a member on here, Brad Harding, back in sep 2008. 1993 K plate Clio 1.8 16v with a Hybrid 2.0 bottom end. This project has taken a long time (and still isn't finished! lol) owing largely to the fact that I have two small children, a...

Oooh, someones touchy.

You're buying a red car? I had no idea. I'd not seen you post about that at all...

I don't really bother with those sorts of days. (rally day, action days, japfest etc) They tend to attract the kind of people I hate! lol.

Well I never! In all my years of going up there, I have never seen anyone going (intentionally) the wrong way.

I'm confused... Why is he going the wrong way?!

Breaking the rest of the car (every last bit) will probably net you back about £1500 - £2000 ish depending on the condition of the other parts. Scrap is about £120 per tonne at the moment. You'll be lucky to get £150 for it really. Best bet is to buy a secondhand engine off here and fit that...

Re: Which model Clio do you prefere and why? My heart says mk1, my head is telling me mk3.

I think that looks perfect! HAve you done the cambelt etc? Who's doing your work?

This thread has DELIVERED! Hasn't it Dave? Dave? John? Why are my brakes upside down? Who's had the fish tonight? Hold my beer while I paint my nuts....

So much better!!! It looked flat before, like there were 4 boom boom boxes in there. (Is that 200 Mercury? looks good!)

Is that how the scottish do things?!

I was thinking just paint the old ones! I certainly wouldn't spend £60 on wheel bolts.

Fair play for fitting them that way round! You may have started a trend! All you need now is some new wheel bolts and your wheel/brake situation will be like brand new!

I always assumed these were 6 spd like the E36 Evo's??

Have you still got it?? Fair play. Drove mint that old girl!

It will crack and/or sink, there's nothing behind it. Which is why you'd need to weld up the hole.

That will look horrific! lol.

You talking to me?!

FLOL!! I wasn't offering, I was just saying if that was my car, that's what i'd do!

Secondhand bits, repair on the rear wing, sorted. There's no way i'd go to all of the hassle of breaking it, buying another one, then getting that up to scratch. (assuming yours has had the belts etc done and the mechanicals are up together) With secondhand bits and a mates rate on the back...

Thats a very defeatist attitude David.

In future, don't lacquer it, just put sellotape over it.

No idea. However, that front bumper can be yours from next monday onwards mate. x

Did you rub cheese spread on there and let a mouse chew the hole?

He claearly doesn't. Rather it matched his seats than saved his childs life.

We are telling you that because you are tight fisted, that your child is not safe in that seat. £25 to hold the most precious thing in the world??!! You're a joke. I'd say that was pretty good input.
