Clio 16v owner AGAIN!

[Adams_16v]

Well I fancied a new crazy car as a toy/track weapon, and have always had a soft spot for the valvers, so have purchased another this weekend!

It is in really good nick, gonna run it for a while till I get the engine and other bits sorted for a bit of a conversion

I was after a 300hp/ton motor so watch this space!

 

[.Gem.]

Looks sweet, look forward to seeing a projects thread!

 

[mini-valver]

MINT! Tungsten really should have been a mk2 colour too. Love it!

 

[AlexG]

mint appart from the mirrors

 

[Alexander]

looks great, dont like the mirrors tho

 

[Adams_16v]

I dont think it is tungsten matey, I thought it was but apparently only phase 1's were tungsten...this is Xeros grey so i read!! Seems a bit different from what I can remember to a tungy my mate used to have...a bit more metalic.

 

[Adams_16v]

Yes, replacement mirrors on their way (when I pay Winstonnnnn), not a fan of the M3 stylee ones either + cant see sh1t through them!

 

[f0xy]

sweet

 

[Gem]

Thats gorgeous! I'm not a fan of Mk1's normally (don't shoot me) but that would convert me.

Thats like saying Gordini Blue/Racing Blue...most people would say RB

 

[Adams_16v]

[cat171]

Looks sweet that mate, is it standard at the min ? (wing mirrors aside lol)

 

[Leeshez]

Looking good.

 

[richy22]

Looks very tidy... MAny miles etc??

I really really want another MK1 Valver Though I am looking at one at the mo... just dont know if I can justify having 2 cars to run

 

[Android]

That looks really nice mate

 

[Adams_16v]

Its almost standard...it has 4pots and coilovers. (a good base for the project) Also a dodgy gear gator and metal suround, which are already off and being replaced asap.

The car has been looked after, wax oiled underneath by the looks, and waxed regular. Not a patch of rust on the arches or sills which is very rare on a 13 year old clio!

Engine is on 91k, completely standard, but its coming out soon enough!

 

[f0xy]

ahhh this is the one with the fourpots, saw it for sale, fk coilovers yeah?

 

[Adams_16v]

yeh thats the one.

 

[Nafoff]

sweet as mate.....got to do the same at some point

 

[Adams_16v]

Well I've had the ITR for 2 years now and it not broke yet, so need something to play with! lol!

Fancied a bit of a sleeper, and know the clios quite well (this is my 5th one) so thought fuk it, perfect project car! (and cheap as owt nowdays)

 

[Djw John]

Looks in great nick mate, looking forward to seeing how much you can take out this one!!

 

[B16DOE]

does look a nice one

 

[wiley]

looks mint
wiley

 

[Jonaldinho]

And so it starts again. Nice one!

 

[Eckascliovalver]

love valvers, looks mint, miss mine

 

[Timmay]

300bhp per ton? madness! cant wait to see it

 

[Craig]

cool. you gonna put a 1.8t engine in

 

[Chris n nic]

Looking good fella...minter and when finished will go as well as it looks

Chris

 

[theduck]

Cant wait to see the project thread on this

 

[Ali]

that looks in great shape...Whats it like mechanically? I know what my willy was like under the fresh bodywork!!!

 

[bradus]

looks good mate

great base for a track car

body looks in mint condition

 

[Christopher]

Good stuff!

Why not have a mix of both... get a 'Teg B18C in there!

 

[final abode]

very nice, saw this in the flesh on saturday, absolute bargain!

good buy mate:approve:

 

[leeds_182]

MK1's are class.

 

[Adams_16v]

Where did you see it matey?

Mechanically seems fine, runs nice and gearbox/clutch feel OK.

Engine and box were not my main concern though really, as they will be coming out soon, but its on 97k and drives sweet as a nut really. oil seems pretty clean, and other than a sticking throttle cable all is well.

I just wanted one in grey that was in good condition more than anything. Something that would make a decent base car.

 

[final abode]

outside his house,

i sold him my williams engine and williams manifold a little while back, he was looking to hybrid it.

obviously his not doing the conversion no more and selling all the bits off, i was there to buy my manifold back of him.

 

[Adams_16v]

Ahhhh i see. its funny how you sell things then end up buying them back lol

 

[Pettsi]

Very nice.
