Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Steady on
lol
I'm being sensible and going for an R26 I think. Soon I won't have anywhere to keep it either, it deserves to go to a good home, so I'll only be putting it up in the club as at the moment there's no rush...yet

You can't sell it. I'll want to buy it.
If I buy another Clio I may actually be killed.

It's not up yet, I had a chat with Gray not long ago but it's not really for sale YET.
It's all up in the air at the moment, if the right car comes along to make it worth while. CSS would of been ideal to show it off

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Depends entirely on you and what your daily drive contains lol. For me it's mostly dual carriage way and country lanes.
I won't go and say the usual "It's an M3 destroyer" or "Keeps with my mates FQ360 all day long" lol. Make no mistake though it's quick.
Cleaning it today and going to put the add up tonight.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Not much has happened with the car recently between moving house and work. Other than by removing some of the under skin of the bonnet, the engine has melted my carbon one. Which isn't very clever. I'm in the process of fitting a bob standard steel one when I'm back from Holiday, which will need cutting. I didn't see the point in using an ally one, as once you've taken all the under skin off it will be like paper.
Also STILL having suspension problems. But it just needs the right eyes to look over it. Other things that I've done are;
Replace the VVT solenoid ring as it was leaking, refit all the perspex with sikaflex 291 as they were expanding and coming free, and lastly fitted two new hub nuts as for some reason they wouldn't stay tight.
I think I actually hate clios tbh.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
You're welcome to it atm. Very much out of love with it as it stands. Silly plastic car.
I'm glad you're keeping it
a) undoubtedly saves me money
b) undoubtedly prevents my GF killing me for buying "an old french sh*tbox"
c) clearly worked bloomin' hard on it, so it'd be a shame to bail out now!!

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
I could quote you word for word from what you just said to Boner, so... LOL
I wouldn't be happy selling it how it is anyway. Suspension needs sorting and there's a few leaks since it was last worked on

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
If you renew the tax in aprox 10 days, go for it lol. Plus the pads need chopping, they're s**te AND sounds like the screams of a thousand hungry cats every time you brake. The anti squeal shims are fooked. Don't want any mintex crap in there any more.
Another thing for the list Gov

Well the list for Fred is getting bigger, but I know he'll be pointing most of it out anyway so might as well beat him to it
