Still just in use, great car, and keep getting loads more comments at petrol stations, waves on the road etc etc, more this year than ever

@Jamess182 No worries mate, anytime as said and cheers for the custard creams 😍

Technically yes, but the gearbox was rebuilt couple of years ago with bolted diff and the top end of the engine was rebuilt after a cambelt failure at about 130k before my ownership It's not as clean as it looks in pics but it's solid which is a good thing!

Bath day, needs roof sorting, boot still and a million and one other bodywork issues .. Thankfully none of which are rot/rust. But for 24 years and very nearly 175k miles she will scrubs up okay!

Never change MOT place if you have anything other than a bone stock car as you'll just find c***s

That chap in the 16v is way less of a c**t than all the MK1 people I still know now 🤪

Yeah they followed line of the bumper nicely, it really was a lovely exhaust

Bye Sister Scramble

Nah i never bothered in the end as my beam geo is spot on as it is and car handles perfectly so don't want to change anything. Plenty of others have though

Both, but I'm talking about the mk1 setup here, but my car runs full mk2 sport running gear, so engine, gearbox, front suspension setup bar the coilivers which are Williams

I run kw v2 coilovers, which are koni inserts and 3 way adjustable rears, think fronts are 15 way adjustable. Standard rear torsion bars and 182 trophy front arb and whiteline rear arb I've tried firmer springs, 550lb, but ruined the handling so went back to the kw recommended 340lb for the...

Welcome

Done good few thousand in mine this year, got brake issues currently though so it's on sabbatical until the new year

Both

Mine looks terrible now tbh, it's still solid but the paint is fucked, needs a full hit tbh

Looking amazing! Great work

Same as 106/saxo so can use this guide http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108157

Yep same as that and immediate 100 quid Christmas present for me, lovely

It's just the normal every Clio owner has one small front plate without the e marking or postcode, that's it. @Sunglasses_Ron they said active crack down on all dodgy plates currently in the local force so they're on it @Cookson no mate, Alfa plate is all legal

I was pulled over for an illegal number plate, bang to rights, it was, so not a leg to stand on really. However I was led to believe reading into it that I should received a notification of rectification or similar to replace the plates and prove that it has been done for a first offence...

Yes as they're the same part although I have 172 cup for mine

All fixed and back in service before the snow hit which was good as no way would have got anywhere in the Alfa on the Corsa tyres, lol

Sometimes it's routing of the cable but usually it's just one of those things, rhd cars suffer as the cable has to snake round the bay to get from drivers side to gearbox

Did trackday in the Quad Monday, left the track brakes etc in it so CBA with the squealing and wasn't cooking after, so went down local town to a nice pizza place get some carry out and.... Clutch cable snapped right outside 🤣 Stuck a sign in window and left it, mate Dunc saved me in his new...

I did do the top engine, top gearbox and dogbone when I bought the car but was a while ago now so could be a good shout that

I haven't fully as yet, need to get it back up in the air and suspect remove u shocks etc to investigate further, but winter innit now

Welcome

171k, just been using it tbh, thought I had fixed the clunk with a dodgy ball joint, hadn't, then realised pinch bolt wasn't shouldered so swapped to correct bolt and thought fixed it again.... Still there occasionally but feels maybe more top mount or spring related so may take the suspension...

You can, if someone can fit a merlin engine into a rover you can fit any clutch release setup you want to an old Clio, let Northloop fix it

Silly b****cks you're not selling it! Go back to cable where you should be, f**k hydraulic clutch it's pointless
