Fcuk me, where do I start....
Built not bought, then you're going to pay someone to fit a 2.0 engine into a clio that was already built with a 2.0 in it?????
The concept, you don't grasp it.
Clean it out, drive on the motorway for 40 minutes, check it again.
If its clean its not the headgasket.
(If it breaks down in a flurry of white smoke and burning metal, its the headgasket.)
Best value for money mod for me was the steering wheel.
My second 172 I fitted a 300mm Sparco jobbie and it was 100% improvement.
Other than that, I think the best 'mod' is to completely refresh the car. New bushes, engine mounts, big service etc. Get it running 100%.
I use my wifes Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner.
Get an old bottle, unscrew the trigger, put the tube into the brake fluid, and squeeze the spray trigger into the old bottle. When you've finished put the tube back into the bottle, screw it up, bin it.
Done.
I'd be scared shitless putting a pressure washer on a mini! lol.
Good work as always Jim. Looking forward to some interior details soon. You've gone a bit quiet old chap!
I smoke in all my cars and tbh i'll smoke anywhere, but smoking in a mates car that doesn't smoke???? NO WAY pedro! I could never do that!
Let alone in some swanky Z4!
I sold it for £4400.
Devastated tbh. The bloke that bought it wanted it wrapped in chrome effect film, have all the interior covered in pink fur and use it to tow his Pink Panther Aluminium American Bullet style caravan... :(
NMice bloke. Gay guy that ran a gay pub in Southampton iirc.
I think subtle is the way to go with Golfs.
small drop just to smarten it up, GTI steering wheel, Uprate the bulbs (I detest HID's! lol) Get some good tunes in there and maybe fit a bigger set of wheels. (Although I like the ones you have!)
I had a set of polished TT comps on my Black mk4...
With some smaller wheels (and a bit of thinners on the door lock because its pissing me off!!) that is a pretty smart little first car.
Fair play to you.
I posted this about 14 years ago iirc. ;)
