I can't notice anything really under road conditions between say a 15" turbine with heavy ns2 tyres and a 15" Williams wheel with lighter Michelins.
On track I could say I can notice between the ns2 shod turbines and the track wheels (15" 4.9kg Oz superleggera with reduculously light Dunlop...
Electronic power steering, the mk2 dci's had it and can bolt it onto 1*2's
Means simplified under the bonnet setup and one less system to piss fluid out.
Not sure on weight saving, may be a little but the epas motorised column is pretty heavy
Quick update, pictureless but full of entertainment!
So decided to insure the phase 1 other day, added it to my adminral cover on the 182 for the princely sum of 130 quid to novemeber when the renewal on both will then be due. Taxed it on the pay later monthly scheme and sorted! Blumming 283 a...
it'll never be better than a phase 1 ;-)
nah nice to see another one saved and the cups are great cars out the box, sort the niggles on this one and should be a good one!
Okay, project engine bay tidy and interior tinker along with some other bits last weekend!
First job, bought a new number plate light and LED bulb, so fitted that:
Then got a new hazard switch as the old one looked off, recessed indicator and all covered in glue or something, so had to...
Thanks!
Sort of agree, I prefer the phase 1 front end and less colour coding but the rear is not quite on par with the later car. Thinking of fitting a cup spoiler to add a bit of aggression!
no way I would leave the sills as they are, it'd bug the hell out of me, not to mention devalue the car as first place anyone looks on the old clios is the sills! for a stock oem restoration i'd have to get that repair flushed!
great plans for the car though, should be lovely when done!
Cheers Steve, I'm still torn as I'd love it totally stock.... But I think only to sell it and as I want to (and think I can justify so) keep it, it needs to be more 'me' and I'm very much an oe+ kind of guy
Glad you 'get' it though
Cheers Elliot! I'm a huge Williams wheel fan, think your right though, exporting a set would not be a cheap undertaking. Pretty unique car over there it would make though ;-)
It'll be reet for short journeys, just keep eagle eye on the fluid level in tank and don't rev the tits off it. As you say if you can avoid using it until it's fixed do so but knowing lads in fire service your usually within few miles of station so it'll make that trip if needed
trying not to as supposed to be sorting my track car, but my mind is constantly thinking, so...... in no particular order:
- flocked top dash
- cup shocks all round and new top mounts
- engine cover in Odyssey
- aluminium bonnet
- cup spoiler
- snappy steering wheel retrim
Did some more bits to the car today and rolled up to the end of the lane to get a couple of slightly better pics than those in my project thread.
Cleans up okay and although I was keeping it standard..........I haven't, had to stick my mark on it :smile:
