Ahh that is a little big too far as I'm in south Essex, i might keep up the hunt for something closer but i will bear this in mind, thanks.

pt2 - So i had a little time left with the car so got to work on the rear cage. Like an idiot I bought the cage just before i stored the car and it came unpainted. I spent the best part of a day sanding all the surface rust off it but finally got it ready to paint. As you can see i am clearly...

Not sure i love the like function that has been added sometime in the years since i was an active CS member! People just like an leave. It's been a full year since i last posted and I've done basically nothing! Well, I've collected a lot of parts, but thats it. So main focus has been the rear...

Looks great! i need to put this on my to-do list. The suede sabelt wheel is lovely for all of 5 minutes before it starts to absorb all the grease from your hands. I want to use the same colours but get it trimmed over the top in leather!

That would be nice, thanks! I am based in Leigh-on-Sea but its currently a rolling shell so can transport it from a to b. Where abouts its this person located? It would now be: Rear cage base plates Seat rails Plate over handbrake hole

Sadly AW Motorworks werent interested :( I also had a generic mobile welder come over to have a look, and they werent interested either. Sounds like i need to find a motorsport specialist, ideally locally so i dont spend a fortune on transporting it the shell. I also don't really want to own a...

I am in a similar boat, I don't currently need a driveshaft but it sounds like it might be a logical step to just update the subframe to ph2 and not have to worry in the future. Couple of questions: 1. Does running the ph2 subframe physically increase the track? I assume it must if it impacts...

I was hoping i could find a already open thread to shoehorn my question into and this seems to work. What are the difference sizes required here? i know one is M10 but the other is much larger. I assume this will be the same as on the master cylinder which is what I'm asking for.

ahh, this might be the answer to my woes. I wonder if I'll be able to get my hands on just this lower part or if i will be pushed to get a whole new mount. I don't follow...

So spent the other weekend getting the engine out. Pretty straight forward when you've already stripped the PAS/AC and other bits off. Subframe definitely needs a bit of TLC at a later stage but due to space had to go straight back on after the engine came out. Then went and attached the...

Adding a pic and a vid of the problem. I wonder if i am missing a lower washer similar to the top to space out a bit?

Second time I've posted my Clio on here, it looked much better last time. I posted this on one of the Clio sport Facebook forums a while back, but now i am back on cliosport.net i thought I'd share my theory. And bare with me. Is anyone particularly knowledgeable about the first registered...

I guess what i wanted to understand was if people go to welding specialists, or motorsport specialists for their welding and if anyone had any recommendations in Essex. For reference, i have a cage, i am looking to get some cage mounts welded correctly. Also re the polybush sleeves...

Was not actually sure where to put this thread. Where to people tend to go for their welding work? (ideally in Essex). Things i was thinking was: Seat bars Roll cage Polybush sleeves I guess my concern is a lot of typical garages would not really understand what you are asking for.

annoying this is more like "find new ones and get those seized bolts out. lame!

Has anyone run into a problem with some "float" in their vibra-technics gearbox mount? Effectively when everything is tight, there is some up/down play of the mount. The problem i seem to have is that the spindle gearbox mount is too long, and the large washer on the top of the mount bottoms out...

So in the process of removing the heat shields to get the linkage out, a number of either the shields or the bolts snapped. I am wondering, on a track car, if there is really much need for them, especially if you can use a heat wrap on the exhaust. Has anyone tried this before? To be clear, i...

My rail is of that type, so thanks, i will look at adding this to the shopping list. When you ask what spec I am running with the injectors, do you mean the full list of engine mods?

Purchased! and slopped a load down in the rear arches and under front jacking points where it looked a bit surface. Long term plan is to get the car to a rolling shell then work on the body: Cage mounts welded Seat rails welded handbrake opening welded When i get to this point i will hold my...

Do you mean you can just buy an off the shelf FPR that is 4 bar and works with the current fuel rail set up? Got a link? I'm changing to 225 injectors so cant hurt to have a slightly increase pressured (especially if everyone else is) but I didn't plan on redoing all the fuel lines... yet.

Great build! i love this as i am currently following a similar path restoring my old ph1. I've just picked up some KTR Jenvy's and GEN90 ECU. Out of interest, what drove you to increase the fuel pressure and redo the rail? The current PH1 fuel pressure is 3bar (i think) is this not enough for...

Hello everyone, digging up an old thread as i am considering buying a second hand KTR TB kit with Gen90 ECU currently remove from a ph2 to fit into a ph1. Did you manage to sort all of your woes?

So had my first little strip down today, very happy with how easily its coming apart, i was expecting a lot of swearing and snapping bolts but so far everything has been a dream. Not too much at the moment as i only had an evening but will be back next week to strip the engine bay more. Most of...

My first plan is to start getting bit of the body stripped ready to get the engine back out. Removing some bodywork I'm sure will tell a better tale of how it's faired over the years, i will add down where the rear cards used to be to part of the inspection.

***Content warning - PH1 abuse*** So here i am, dusting off my old cliosport.net This car was previously part of a long thread back in 2011, https://cliosport.net/threads/strugglers-back-ph1-172-project-bit-of-a-read.614966/ The clio ended up in a garage due to financial constraints and a bit...

I know this thread has come up before, but one of the rear hubs on my girlfriends car has seized, and i cannot for the life of me get it to free up, ive tried smashing it with a hammer and rocking the car back and forth but nothing seems to be able to make it budge. I'm starting to this it may...

how have i only just found this?!

Wow its been a long time since i posted on here!! mainly because my track project was put into my nans garage and forgotten while i was at uni and couldnt afford to do much with it. I know the cup racers are fully subframe mounted. a lot of people subframe mounted their engines in mk1 clios...

this thread has made my night!! it looks like exactly what id have done to my clio when i was 18 if i had the money!! thankfully i could never afford to have paintwork done so i never got a body kit. but the interior looks similar to how mine looked! :D i now look back and laugh at what i was...

i always dump my keys straight on the roof! and ill probs never get out of that habit! :(
