Just seen the forsale section....

With an engine compartment fire on the wednesday irrc? ;)

from the pics it looks perfectly repairable. But not being able to see the back of the bumper and the clips is a bit worrying.

This last page has had me laughing... lots. Sorry mate. :(

Depends entirely on the warranty itself. If its a RAC/Warranty Holdings/Warranty 2000 type warranty, then tbh its a waste of money. If its a genuine Renault Harmony warranty then they are bloody brilliant and £550 is cheap for a car of that age!

What this man said!

Mine is fine, everything I have fitted has been spot on. Its just the shitty old valver bits that are falling apart! (The gearbox bolt falling out is not included in this statement...)

They were 90's Pecs! Admitedly they were 99% of the time fitted to 80's cars, but they were definately 90's!

Good man!

These things were THE car to have back in the day. 150 solid BHP. My mate had one and had a whale tail put on it and painted the whole car Kawasaki Green. Had Three spokes too iirc. Was hideous thinking back but thats what we did back then! lol.

Pm recieved! (I'll reply tomorrow, its a lengthy pm! lol) I am really pissed you never came in to see me though! I've always wanted a go in one of these! And Yate is 2 minutes away!! I feel unloved and disturbed.

Hello chaps, me again! :D Right, making some good progress now, mostly thanks to you lot! But I have this same problem now and its next on the hit list. When I start the car from cold, it idles proper rough. It stinks of fuel and if I lightly dab the throttle it tries to stall. If I manage...

Pm needed!!!

You never told me you were getting this you gay!! You no love me no more?? Looks good though.

I'm supposed to be out on the piss tomorrow night but Jon wants to drag me along to this.... Who's going exactly??

The light won't be an issue, but the emmissions will be! lol.

I trust you removed thos ghastly ACS badges as soon as he gave you the keys??

cliospares is your answer!

I hate it. But it does look all very well done, and as long as you're happy thats all that matters! :)

I think thats kind of what i'm getting at. My mk1 will never be 'finished' but thats because i'm in no rush. Its my little hobby and I don't ever intend on selling it. But the people i'm talking about seem to rush like fcuk to build something then sell it asap! Just don't understand.

I'd rather pay £1000 than drive round with those god awful standard wheels.

No, I'm listening to my own advice for once! lol. (And they're sold! ;) )

FLOL!!!! Ahahaha!!!

Everyone (EVERYONE!! lol) mocks me for taking so long doing my mk1 but thats because I'm doing it properly. I don't want to buy cheap parts, realise their s**t then have to buy more expensive ones and sell the cheap ones for half what I paid!

^^This is also true. I'm a firm believer in once an engine comes apart, it will never go back together properly. You've only got to look in the projects section to see that all the people that have stripped the engine down to nothing but rubble tend to be the people that have more problems than...

You've been aching to type that haven't you! lol.

But why is there so many on this forum?? Over on Passionford theres loads of people who've had cars years and years and are continually doing stuff to them. The beemer forums seem to be the same. Just CS that seems to churn out the 'Buld and sell' brigade.

Why are there so many of these on this forum?? I can think of four now without going deeper into it, but it seems that people spend literally £000's of pounds fitting cages, bodies, buckets, coilovers etc etc etc and then put them up for sale or break them for parts. Why?! Just seems a...

I've driven a 20 year old BMW 318 that handles better than a clio.

How did your dad forget to tell you he collected that??? I'd have taken him to get it!
