Fitted the rear carbon today, will attack the front stuff Monday I think

@White16valver not really, just never really liked the cups, 172 or 182, just don't appeal to me

Mostly agree, we all underprice But trophy > phase 1 > full fat 182 > 172 cup for me

Cleaned the seat belts again, annual task I always cover off just after the clocks change.

I think @makavelli is responsible for those, strut brace fitted to the car many moons ago. Way before my ownership

The mk2's are on the up for that reason though, people want to come back as they're kicking themselves for selling up in the first place. Plus they're all 15+ years old now so far fewer left to choose from

Looked lovely that

yeah think that's smokey Pete isn't it? think saw your post on the groups

Pop over to the clio 1.8 16v facebook groups, some of the lads over there are decent on the spliced loom approach to the converison i'll be of little use as mines a full mk2 loom transplant, full car

welcome fellow mk1 F4R crew

Dan's should and search mine 'Trophy Red Mk1' for what used to be Danny's supercharged project as that's now my trackcar and very much alive and kicking Matt's is still with him too, currently having ecu and wiring sorted to be back out this year for a trackday @Zmaster2k

appears my camera on the phone has gone full potato too, apolgies….and that boot seal is clearly annoying too, list of niggles added to

Cleaned the belts again yesterday, annual spring job as this light grey was THE best idea Renault ever had 🤦‍♂️

yep, that's what I run on my daily, use it on track to, on stock cup dampers and works well

Yeah 200 quid coilovers will be good for one thing if you're mad enough to not just put them straight in the bin and that's scene lowz

Has she upped the boost though, that's the real question

Not sure tbh, I acquired these pre loved through the classifieds on here

I like a bullet to match a wheel colour, and the spray shack ones are lovely things too,very nicely done.

@White16valver yeah died matey after previous owner didn't pay hosting. Site was deleted and lost about last 6 years from previous backup before host change. As such basically write off and we all moved to Facebook group instead. Not the same though, forums work better imo by miles

Painted the shields with thier mods and little riveted on brackets and then mocked up both sides. New studs showed up too. So I know I've got all the parts refurbished and everything there now so jobs a good un. Blowtorch at the ready for the weekend Pics: Brackets made up and riveted on...

you'll need to cut the caliper mounting bracket off and then either bash the stub out the beam or yeah chop it off flush with an angle grinder. that's my backup plan too if it all goes wrong. however you'll still need to get the torx bolts out to retap and reuse the bolt holes to mount the 172...

no worries @Macphail any questions you have, whichever thread you post in just tag me with an '@' and i'll do my best assist. always good to see more mk1 enthusiast about

normal, idle will remain high until up to temp

I don't know much about that specific car, think it was bought and lightly restored for a TV show/advert or something similar I myself am pretty well versed in mk1 clios, having had around 10 in total 16v/Williams' over the years. Currently still have 2 in the stable but both are far from stock...

Welcome, Fair few of us kicking about still, but most are dead or not for sale as the rarity now means most owners are keeping hold of them. Pop over to the facebook pages, just search 'Clio 1.8 16v Owners' or similar to find us all! There is however a naples on ebay currently with a Williams...

Still soaking in penetrating fluid.......

More progess today. After attempting to fit the disc shields soon found out they're incompatible with the 172 hubs. Never really thought about it before but the 1*2's don't have them. Appears maybe ones from a Megane mk1 F7R may fit but suspected hens teeth. As such cracked out the dremel and...

Yeah definitely, different strokes for different folks I guess. Regularly commute 130 miles to Welwyn Garden from Derbyshire in mine, no issues. Spent a lot of time and effort though sorting the right mods to make it relatively quiet, refined and comfortable for daily use.

As said on messenger, awful, 6/10 :whistle:

It's back on them currently matey you'll be pleased to hear :cool: the proper silver ones too, not the bright yellow.... Although they're going on I think once this jobs done for a giggle
