I did my own, not a Clio but similar trailing arm setup. I used parts off the web, a local blaster to sand blast the parts and hand painted it with Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80, then primer, then black metal paint. Cost me about a hundred quid all told.

I wouldn't fit one on any car, they have dampers fitted for a reason.

...and then decided to pull the engine and box. Typical steering balljoints stuck, had to get the OxyTurbo out Out she comes for the first time in my ownership (which started in 2002). Dropped the box off, then the turbo before I decided enough was enough. As an aside, this...

Evidence of old patches to pacify the MOT tester lol Found a bad bit on the OSF sill :( The intercooler bracket had disintigrated so I made a new one

Over the holidays I fancied getting the spanners out as a break to the bodywork on the 21, so this happened It's not mint, but it's not as bad as most I have seen

Oooof, thats not pretty. Typical, but pretty.

Fixed that for you mate

We will... ....are you guys wanting another one of these bad boys? Just so I know, they can be hard to come by at times.

Voted, currently 15% and in the lead, 2nd place is 14%, the rest are nowhere!

I'm headed toward that....found lots out there but nobody will ship to the UK. Suggested the next family holiday is Turkey, she seems open to it and seems oblivious to my sinister motives. "....Dave why are you taking six suitcases on holiday. Six....empty.....suitcases....."

After many years of parts shortages I always have my eyes open for new-old-stock, a bit like a dog is always ready to snatch that bit of food that just dropped on the floor :D I recall years ago taking the front bumper off the 9 and seeing the front crossmember a bit yukky - not perforating...

Oooof, thats all the birthdays and xmas's rolled into one! Lovely!

This is going to be comedy gold watching the Briggzenator squeeze in and out of this little rollerskate :D haha! Brilliant buy mate, defo needs 500hp.

I did mine for about £850. Paid out about £1280, sold the Clio leftovers to recoup, net cost £850. Build thread on the TurboRenault.co.uk

Out at the RS meet @ Caffeine and Machine... Common as muck these things :D

What a wonderfully old skool thing. Hope you get it back to a show standard.

Good day!

I was invited to the NEC Classic Car Show by the Renault Owners Club, so off we went. I did take the black plates off to put the standard ones back on just for @andybond but the front one has vanished out of the boot :( so the black ones went back on. Happy to report that after 3 days of being...

You WONT get in, you do get turned away, unfortunately. They have expanded parking capacity twice since opening and it's now maxed out the land they have, but it still gets full.

Would you believe a New-old-stock one of these popped up on a R9/11 Facebook page. I basically jumped down the guys throat (digitally), sent €100 to a total stranger and low and behold...it shows up at my door as promised. Also bagged a NOS numberplate light from italian eBay, on the hunt...

I have confirmed now with C&M that no more pre-bought tickets will be released for the date. As it stands you can show up on the gate for a drive-in, but obviously this is only until it's full and then non-ticketed arrivals will be turned away.

I got a reserved Renault space, I have passed my bought ticket along to a 21 Turbo mate. I've asked C&M if any more pre-booked spaces are coming up on Eventbrite. Will clarify nearer the time if there are any drive-in slots on the day. If not, like the Jap night tonight, they are specifying...

I was having a load of stuff blasted and coated for the 21 so i hoofed a few bits in for the 9 too, primed them up on Sunday. Fuel pump/filter bracket, towing eyes, stuff like that. Pretty sure I took the wheel cage up there too, didnt realise till now I didnt get it back so will have to chase...

Yes and no, this isn't even my primary project (see the 21 thread), this is to fill in the gaps when i'm waiting for stuff for the 21, or have run out of money lol You need to clean it up first, get in there with a wire wheel on a grinder. Once all the loose shite is gone, treat with Hydrate...

Long way to go yet, rest of the brakes to refurb, defo needs a clutch and may as well rebuild the lump when I get it out as I have the majority of parts for it already.

I havent forgotten about the old 9, however I have procrastinated on the brakes since stripping the compensator, in the hope I would stumble across a solution. The diamond gods are being kind to me. Brand new old stock OE compensator popped up on one of the R9/11 facebook pages yesterday, I was...

I ripped the roof off my Renault 21

Yes, but not in the usual sense. It's fast but not ballistic, it handles well but it's not as good as a 1*2, it's the sense of occasion and the noise that makes it an event. It gets quite a lot of attention everywhere it goes.

Coventry.

I have, it still catches as it open, sort of about a third of the way open.
