Lovely job!

I have a ton of pics of both your car @Ant1 and my old circuit car with ITBs. Happy to fire over?

Off to her new owner. Thank you for reading. The end……..

Lovely!

Almost finished. Nothing special in terms of performance, but if you like seeing 14-year-old cars looking like new, this is right up your street.

To save me searching, are there any decent VW forums worth joining, particularly around older vehicles like the Polo Mk5 R6/R6C?

There’s absolutely no doubt I’d have kept this car if it weren’t for the engine issues. But I’ve already started a new project now, so balancing things will be tricky. I mean, I foolishly had three Clio 182 projects going at the same time. I swore then that I’d never do that again. I don’t have...

The little Blue one is staying for now. The deal fell through because they wanted to renegotiate after we’d settled on a fair price, so I decided not to sell. Plenty of time on my side to assess it. I might even attempt a rebuild myself - well with a little help 🤣

I love the Trophy, but no more 20-plus-year-old Renault Clio Sports for me, thank you very much. Once the engine is refreshed on the RB, it’ll be an amazing car for many years to come, because the bodywork is outstanding. There won’t be many, if any, like her on the road. I just don’t want to...

I've already started a new project, but it's not a Renault, so I'll keep it off here since it's nothing special. I also have to work on my son's Scooby, but he's not too keen on me posting about it. I appreciate that. I started out with zero knowledge, to be honest, and finding people who are...

Cheers, Darryl, but honestly, I’m not that gutted - just trying to be sensible for once. Owning a Clio Sport was always something I wanted, and I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy four of them on both road and track. This is what I do - move on and not get too attached. I’m sure I’ll pop up with...

Very kind of you. After I wrote that guide and fitted mine, the bloody custom radiator wouldn’t fit, so I had to take it all off. 🤦‍♂️

You’re very welcome. 😊

Nothings changed really. It’ll be getting rebuilt and kept on the road, just under new ownership. It’s all I wanted for the car. I always put 100% into everything I do, but I never get too attached to anything. I change my mind like I change my socks.

I’m still rolling at your new handle 🤣

The time has come to close the chapter on my Renault Clio ownership. My little blue Clio will go to its new owner on Sunday. I’ll let them share their identity if they choose. I’ve loved restoring these little cars to their former glory. Every car I’ve owned has been cherished, and that will...

That's a good shout.

The car runs fine when hot. I noticed the symptoms getting worse when starting from cold. If I let the car tick over for 5 minutes after the cold map has switched, you’d honestly never notice anything - unless you floored it and looked in the rear-view mirror.

From the leak-down reports: Cylinder 1 – 45% (Major leak) Cylinder 2 – 10% (Good) Cylinder 3 – 15% (Good/Fair) Cylinder 4 – 95% (Catastrophic) Likely causes: Ring/bore issues Intake valve issues I’ll just get the whole lot refreshed and future-proofed. There can't be many - if any - Racing...

I'll keep the thread updated. Just part of the car's history.
