And the refurbishment begins!! Two more to do next weekend and then onto primer and think about colours! Jack

It's the little things. Put the engine cover stickers on to finish that off. Just got to get my battery cover in and order a new expansion tank. These also arrived today. :) They need a refurb and are the non renault ones, but they were very cheap and I had been looking for weeks for a...

Work continues on the old 172! After coming close to selling it last month for an absolutely lovely MK1 Eunos Roadster with daft low mileage and absolutely no rust and a full history, the owner decided to keep it so the Clio got taken off the market! I planned to finally get around to getting...

Little update! Still haven't fitted the engine mounts as It failed it's MOT on ball joints. Ended up spending my only free weekend in January swapping them over for new ones. It's now passed its MOT. I would like to get the engine mounts fitted, swap the brake lines over for the braided ones...

You can get them on eBay for the clio 197. It's the clio cup stripe for the mk3. I'll get some better photos this weekend once all the work has been done and dusted! :)

Sorry, I missed that bit of your post! Part number is PFF60-221 And here it is positioned in my new engine mounts. Got a new gearbox mount to throw on as well while I'm in there! :) Jack

No, pick up my new engine mounts tomorrow and need to find a weekend to get it all in. MOT is this month as well, so want to get it all done before then. :) will give feed back once it's on and sorted.

More parts! Picking up my new engine mounts Monday, apparently they have been delivered to my office! Once I have those, I will get a weekend to stick them on along with this! And finally do a brake fluid and coolant change and stick the new braided lines on. It's all coming together. Jack

Ha, yep!!! Yer, I was on the 106RR and OC pages with my rallye and various other saxos and 106s for years! I still miss my old rallye as well, brilliant fun and it really did make me grin every time I drove it or even looked at it. Just wasn't practical for me any more. The Clio is doing it's...

@Saamjohn - cheers, it's come out loads better than I expected. Thought it was going to look properly crap, it only looks a bit rubbish instead!!! Haha. I'm keeping it for now, will lool at wheel refurbishments and see if I can get them done to match the stripe. @josh11490 - I got the sump off...

Haaaaa! Racing stripe for the win! Car is going in for more new tyres and tracking today as well after getting the suspension all sorted. Had a new sump and a full service about a month or two a go now as well! Tyres - Done (twice now!) Timing belt kit - Done Cylinder head seals - Done...

Made some progress on the clio today. New top mounts and cup dampers all round, spacers all round and fitted an Aux to the radio. Wasn't without problems though!! Rears were easy enough to swap! Stripped the front dampers off in a few minutes as well, then when it came to building up the new...

I need to get back into this! I was hooked when it came out, the first DLC dropped and I wasn't hugely impressed, then the second one dropped and I felt like they were taking the piss out of us initially, then I played the new house of wolves and loved it! Last time I went on was when Xur was...

Appreciate the comments guys. :smile: I'm never happy with my photos, im my worst critic so it's nice to get something positive! I did a whole album from the Cartier Style Et Luxe at Goodwood FOS, link is here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskeMXUKZ There is something I would do different to every one...

That's the RAW image. :) There is a fair amount of adjustment brushes, healing, cloning and graduated filters involved! Was taken at Goodwood FOS this summer, biggest issue with shows like that is composition... its impossible to get a clean shot that doesn't need lots of cutting and chopping...

I'm still learning, the hardest part is getting to grips with the ISO, Apertures and shutter speeds. Once you get your head around how to balance the three you will be spot on. I read a little bit and got people to tell me bits and bobs, but I learnt the most by picking the camera up and taking...

Cheers. Normally don't like the track day generic panning stuff, but had a bit of fun with the post edit stuff on these. :)

A friend of mine is taking part in his first competitive race series. I went along to his second ever race weekend. He qualified 16th out of 20 in the B class races in a car that we all know is very competitive compared to some of the others. He finished 17th in both his races keeping ahead of...

Impulse purchase of the day! I planned to stick another paper filter in the clio for its service, but found this for £25. Ordered! :laughing...

I have put all the receipts in the book pack folder for the cars history, got to back the history up! :) It should be spot on when its all finished, I will need to book a track day with it to get the most out of all the work. I'm not sure Jamie's on here any more, he is part of the admin team...

I know! I need to book my mechanic in for the day, got to find a weekend where the weather is good so I can fire up the BBQ while he sorts my car out for me! Im not scared of the spanners but I think most of this work is far passed my skill set! haha.

Placed more orders last night... Ordered a new sump to replace mine as its leaking from a crack thats been repaired badly. After that the flood gates opened and I ordered the suspension stuff I need as well! Got a set of front 172 cup dampers on their way, some new front shock bump stops, a...

Took his alloys off I believe to keep them.

Bloke popped up on another forum I'm on who owned it. He got rid after a crash! 🙈 Think it was salvaged and converted to this horrible track thing, the mirrors are taped on as well!

Cheers man. I really didn't bring my A game to that event for the photos though, I regret not staying longer and getting more of the rest of the guys. In other news, I have been spending again this evening! :p So far I have sat around in my flat: 6l of Engine oil Oil filter and air filter...

I still haven't lifted a finger sorting this car out. 60% of the parts are just sat in my flat ready to be fitted. The other 40% of the parts are either on order or I am trying to decide between different options! i've just been too busy driving it to start work! I popped along to meet some...

Its been a long while since I updated this. It will be a year ago on the 28th of July that I had the belts and stuff done along with a full service and nothing else major has changed. Until now!! I have just ordered several more bits and will be giving the car a good overhaul in the next month...

French rubbish!! my window regulator has stopped working and OBVIOUSLY it was in the open position when it happened! My evening was spent stripping it down, working out how the motor worked and then manually winding the window back up. I have disconnected the motor for now before I get a new...

Feeerk! Mine has just done the same. Its been intermittent for a while. What has worked for other people? I dont fancy buying a new regulator if its not at fault.

Iv seen a couple of silver clio's with anthracite gordini stripes. This one looks OK, I just cant get on with the full length bonnet stripes. That's why I am looking at making up a set of MK3 Clio Cup ones and having them finish about halfway down the bonnet. Got to get the wheels refurbished to...
