Hi all, haven't been on here in ages!!
Bought a Clio Extreme 4 as my first car but traded it in for a Suzuki Swift Sport in July 07.
Now it's time to give up my wee swift as it's too dear. So, there's a cheap 172 close by that i'm going to view tomorrow. What should I look at eg common...
Standard rule of thumb is set them to 30 all round if you dont know.
I set mine at 33 all round cause i do a fair bit of motorway driving to work and back

Unless i am allowed?
I am selling these on ebay, but someone has asked me what offest they are.

THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREAD:eek:
Was down at the Suzuki garage looking at a new Suzuki Swift Sport, My boyfriend works there, so i can get a good price on it.
They will only give me book frice for my clio tho, Which is 4 grand.
I am thinking off selling private. but unsure of the cars...
just wondering the best way to do this, Ive searched and found all i need apart from this.
I'm Relocating the batt to the boot, earthing in the boot,
But
Cutting off the positive battery ternimal clamp in the engine bay and then just connecting my new wire to that and running it to...
Great, I will have a look tomorow.
I presume the smaller engines havent the oil presure/temp sensors or maybe just not the wiring for them.
I will take some pics tomorow to let yous know where to look too!"
My exhaust was knackered, so after cutting it off thre car, and trying to weld rust for 3 hours, i gave up. :(
anyways, What i am wondering,
I need a new peice of pipe from cat back to the back box, does the mid pipe stop before the rear beam or does the pipe continue over the axle and the...
my bumpers are grey and tattly, and ex[ensive to paint as they are textured plastic.
I cant find any phase 3's in my local scrappy but there are plenty of ph1 and 2's and i prefer those bumpers anyways, over the ph3
I have a 1.2 phase three,
I noticed my brake pedal is very solid to press and the brakes are basicly , crap.
When i bought the car it was ok, I have stripped cleaned and adjusted the brakes, blead, All ok,
A few weeks later i just noticed oneday the bad brake pedal and hardly any stopping...
My mate says i could fit a mk1 ph1/ph2 bumper onto my Ph3 with slight modifications it will fit, using the original lights and bonnet ofcourse.
He says someone on here has it done.
I havent had both side by side to see the differences, anyone seen this.
Its a 1.2 phase 3 clio.
Yes, sounds good.
I am not after major power or spending major money. Basicly anyting i can pick up from a scrappy!
I'm a tight buger when it comes to money:eek:
Haha, Mine sounded like a tractor upto last week, Fitted a new downpipe and welded the backbox on properly, much better.
I think i'll just stick with the 1.4 swap. nice and easy for my first swap too.
I'll get the engine first and have a good strip and clean, get it runnig spot on. :)
I am not quite sure to be honest. I got it with the car as he never had the chance to fit it.
The front seats are like bucket seats in their design. Its black with wee blue and yellow lines. I Can get pics up tomorow, i just searched on here and google and cany find one matching.
I have a Clio Mk1 Phase 3 in green. Just a wee 1.2.
I am planning a trip to the scrap yard to get new bumpers, Body coloured rather as just grey plastic.
Which bumpers fit the Ph3? or which look the best.
If the 16v fits, i would consider getting this and just spraying it myslef as i like...
After some time deciding to buy a Civic or just keep the clio for a while, I chose the Clio.:D
Anyways, I posted a while back about engine upgrades, I'm going to go for the 1.4 8v Energy to replace my 1.2 8v.
The 1.8 is soo thursty for the amount of traveling i do and more expensive etc...
Here is a pic of my Mk1 Clio, Opinions please:rasp: ( img quality is crap)
Plans for this weekend is to go and get some body coloured bumpers and some standard mirrors from the scrappy.
Plus an anti-roll bar as its only the 1.2 model.
Any ideas on anything else i could pinch from scrappy?
