Kool. Thanks mate

 

[nfbr]

none on homepage unfortunately

 

[Rick]

here you go, not sure whether RLs have speakers in the doors, think they might just have the ones in the dash.

RL is the same but with no speaker and a window winder.

Speaker is just in the dash..

The door only looks shorter because it is!
RT_Owners is a 3 door, Mine is a 5 door.

Cheers lads

Im thinking of buying an Oldish clio for my first car. Ive had some good quotes for both the RL 1.2 and the RT1.4 and also the "Fidji" 1.4

Im after buyin a few bits of Car audio for it now tho and was wondering what provisions were like and weather or not it would be easy enough to make a door pod to fit a 13cm Mid with a hefty magnet.

I now know that if i get the RT i will need to make a thick "Trim ring" to raise the speaker out a bit, and if i get the RL i will need to think about making a proper door build effort.

Could anyone give me a few pointers as to buyin an older model clio ???

I.E. What milage to look for, What to avoid, what particular bits to look for what models to avoid etc. If anyone can id be very very gratefull thanks

Theres quite a bit of room in the doors of the RT, Ive got some new front speakers in mine and they fitted pretty easily. Are you planning on fitting a big install? Cos if you are, be prepared for everything to rattle like hell as soon as you turn it up!

Generally, RTs stand up pretty well, I dont think theres anything specific to look for. Make sure that all the electrics work, especially the Heater fan (test it at all three different speeds).

I test drove a 1.2RL (4 speed!) before buying my RT and it was nowhere near as good to drive, so if you can afford the extra insurance, my advice would be to get an 1.4.

their is only a £200 difference in insurance so i think ill go for the RT.

I will be doing a Sound Quality install rather than an SPL Install.
And the whole of the panel work will be dynamatted. ) so it should be a lot more stable to build on.

Newer RLs have 5 gears.. my 1997 does! (And I dont think thats just because I have a Special Edition)

Daz.

I didnt know any of the RLs had only 4 gears :| thats scary. I couldnt do with 4 gears...

My mate is selling his 1992 (J) 1.4 Clio Fidgi In Blue. Its got 15" Fox 1 alloys on, in pretty good condition, and i know hes not one of these drivers who thrashes it everywhere he goes, its been well looked after, Had either a 16v or an RT interior put in it, all vin numbers match up and hes willing to keep old of it for a while until i turn 18. He says about £1200 with 1 years MOT. Its got a full Service history and is Relatively low mileage

Looks a bit like this (not a 5 door and not De handled front or rear and it doesnt have that exhaust lol u get the idea tho)

Can anyone tell me if this is a good buy or it is expensive?

Thanks

 

[Daz]

On AutoTrader, Fidgis range from £825 to £1695.

Helps you to see what they are going for...

Daz.

Yeah His is a 1.4 fidgi. the cheeper ones tend to be the "WHITE 1.2s" the dearer ones tend to be either Blue 1.2s or Blue 1.4s

I like the car quite a lot. its real comfy to sit in and has no rattles or cries comin from the engine or gear box

My mum used to have a 1997 1.2 RL think it was an Oasis.

Since then shes had a 1999 1.2 8v, 2001 1.2 16v and is soon gettin a 2003 1.2 16v. She wants me to have a clio cos she says "clios are better than them sh**y Saxos and Corsas" lol
