epic, so much want and tbh very nicely priced for the spec and effort put in! may take up the Australia delivery as well ;)

linky?

those two were the reason I wanted a mk1 clio back in the day, that race was happening same year I came back from travelling and bought my first valver! :) @Martin_172

Tiny update, thought I'd treat her to a magic tree and try starting her again, first turn. So came back inside, watched telly and did my ironing, went back out,tried her again... First time again. Seems a magic tree fixes immobiliser issues in old Renaults :-P

Getting exciting now!! Deadlines are there to be missed, so do it once, do it right and screw the timings ;-)

superb work, and it must be one of the most exciting things to know that once its done, you'll of built your own car, from scratch, truly deep doff of the cap to you sir! hope you make the test.....in 3 days!!

i'd defo be up for that!

Paul in the 5 - 9.9@142 with an old Skool F7P 1.8 16v running 40psi of boost

No worries Leon, all she needs to do now is pass the 'rear door cards out rust test' I guess and she's a keeper @boomerbang2006

cheers @Fantom i'll take those, you have pm, I can then decide which direction to take and for a tenner no loss really! @182_steve on the above offer.......options open now :) lol!!

must just be the subtle addition of the large and pokier wheels that give it that extra bang! looks great looking forward to sorting my new acquisition soon, love a phase 1. only got a crappy driveway pic at the mo but that's the only place its been so far in the two weeks I've had it!

yeah I could do, was in two minds but if I did do that i'd have to go round and satin black all the rest of the plastics to match too (I'm bit OCD like that) plus I think some slight fading on the plastics is not the end of the world, provided the patina is there uniformly it'll be in keeping...

beauty that is! What suspension setup is it on as the ride height and wheel spacing looks spot on imo

Yeah its one of those things @20vKarlos , its going to snowball as I keep identifying bits that are pissing me off and 'letting the car down'! lol!

14-02-2017 - Test Fit 182 Manifold Slightly late with this update, but got the 182 manifold onto the car today, she's a snug fit but once I refitted the subframe on its main mounts and got the dogbone mount back on she's there. Then got a shot of how it lines up to the rest of the...

Rough running like that will be injector for sure, incredibly common fault

I f**king love this thing

Cheers @182_steve In actually enjoying what I'm hoping is going to be a simple, tinkering, project rather than the mk1 which is rather more full on! Just lots of satisfying,simple little jobs for this one to get it back to factory!

Top work on the brake lines matey, love the learning process!

Cheers guys, hopefully get her up to scratch over next few months. It's had an intermittent starting fault, so today I stripped down the steering wheel cowling to have a look as it's an immobiliser fault All the wiring looked fine so no concerns, and the key sensor for the immobiliser...

Mad, shouldn't of been touched to do a driveshaft.

liking the progress chap and fair play cracking on and doing it all yourself, bodywork included, I hate bodywork!!lol!

that or injector, 9 times out of 10 its an injector failure

that's because yours had barely turned a wheel in 2 years #garagequeen @MicKPM

as above, stock

they shouldn't of needed to touch anything engine mount related, or anything inboard of the hub really for a drivers side shaft change the bolt does look a bit like one of the ones that holds the black bracket to the gearbox, but never heard of one of those working loose before

hehe! Sorry man, had to be fast!

I literally love this, part ex a phase 1 odyssey ;-)

ah right, I've never owned a none sport mk2 so never had one with a sunroof! must of had a screen replacement at some point and had the wrong screen seal fitted! every day is a school day! please do, nice to see the phase 1's being used and looked after, I do like my 182 but this is a little...

thing that boggles my mind is having bought many a mk1 in 12 year old 80k condition......they were always, and I mean always.....a wreck...this thing has cost me half what they used to, is 4 years older and done 60k more and its essentially.......well mint. I know i'm easily pleased but to see...
