Yeh full ph2 dash is going in as per usual!

Im un decided on the catches too, I wont rush into it.

It is too black, wheels will be going silver. I fitted a silver badge earlier and it looked wrong. Fogs are back in too :)

Ph2 dash is a good shout can imagine the blue ph1 interior doesn't go with the black?

It will look really good on silver wheels mate good call, silver badges might not look so wrong then?

Why not start a new thread & put a couple of pics of your previous clios at the start?

20mm spacers you say? ;)

Also I'm with Craig: No to aero catches.

Inspired by you, Im following the 20mm movement! Ive had 25mm spacers on every clio so far, Ive also had 25mm spacers on the 350. That 5mm difference might make me keep a car.

Ill stick with this thread and do a proper write up soon of the new car! If you could change it that would be good, unsure what to change it to!

The dash is hideous, the dash conversion isnt a job I enjoy at all but it makes such a difference.

I agree one the wheels are silver it will balance out silver badges. The rear badges are painted black, im scared to fit new ones though encase it damages the boot. Might just get a ph2 boot some time.

Ill just keep this one for the time being :)

Re: dmallett's titanium ph1

I thought you were a proper man, Not one of these 20mm homos :p

I'll offer my hand to do the dash too, Its not something I've done, but interested to learn.

I personally like the full, black on black on black lol.

Ill give the 20mm a go, see how i find it. Its only 5mm at the end of the day!

I dont mind it, I just feel it would look good on silver wheels. I still have my other wheels in anthracite too.

You can help me with the dash if you want! Your good with wires and stuff arent you? You might be able to make all the buttons work haha

lol! It had some red hoses, they got removed.

I guess I am abit boring when it comes to colour, the most adventurous Ive ever got colour wise was the bronze f1's on the monaco that turned out poo brown :eek:

Yep, I was worried about the white in my interior. But when I did it, I was very happy with the result. He who dares wins.

Or ends up with Poo wheels. One of the two ;)

Horrible blue interior.

The amount of miles its had its been abused for.
IMG_3830.jpg



Bit of a negative selection of photos really, there were more but I cut it down to the worst bits.

But lets be honest, for 120k its not in a bad state. And I will happily say its the best to drive out of the clio's I have owned.

My destruction continues.

Empty space.

And stored, anyone would think I was planning on destroying engines/box's.

The silver car is pretty much done now, got about another days worth of work pulling bits off it and it can be scrapped. Then I can finally start ruing the black car.

Good you got the engine out, even if it is the ***** way of doing it.

Bit of advice, looking purely at the rear measurements/figures is this roughly normal? Was done 07/13 so not too long ago.

I know I've only just woken up, but bugger me thats hard to read.

You could do with more front camber IMO and it could also do with a small shim to correct the rear toe, 3.4mm is quite a lot.

Agreed what a jumble. 3.4mm is the total across the axle not per side.

You need more camber up front as its only set at 0.8 deg where as the rear is 1.7 deg. The front should have more camber than the rears on these cars for performance, around about the same front and back for tyre longevity.

If you have 15" wheels your rear toe converted to degrees is 0.6 left and 0.4 right. You would be looking for 20' max toe in or out really or 0.3 in degrees.

Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg

I dont understand it at all! Its so hard to work it out, il stick my camber gauge on the front and see what sorta camber its reading now for a rough idea.

Ill set the camber up front to 1.5' as thats what i normally run, ill wait until I get the cup wishbones/spacers on first though.

It drives nicely as it is, but I need to get it set up properly :)

An update purely of fitting/changing/servicing.

First up new number plate light,
IMG_3863.jpg


Followed by the rear lights of my titanium/monaco, they are pretty mint tbh with silvertec indicator bulbs.
IMG_3864.jpg


Fitted some nimbus heat shield. Not that you can see it really :eek:
IMG_3868.jpg


Then the rear wheels were off, plan was to swap calipers to some i sprayed black, fit 5mm spacers, fit whiteline ARB and raise the back up 5mm.
IMG_3871.jpg


Much better!!
IMG_3870.jpg


IMG_3873.jpg


IMG_3874.jpg


Oil and filter, throttle cable and spark plugs ready to change.
IMG_3875.jpg


What appears to be dirt on the thread of the plug lol
IMG_3882.jpg


Old v New.
IMG_3883.jpg


And how it sat at the end of the day, oh and i fitted the ph2 side strips too.
IMG_3884.jpg



Today was the first time Id jacked the car up/pulled it apart. Didnt find anything of shock/concern really. The engine is breathing abit of oil but not copious amounts.

The black F1's are off the car to get 2 new tyres then to be rufurbished in silver.
@AlexW is popping over tomorrow with the remainder of the bits I need to do the ph2 interior conversion. Im yet to decide what to do about the seats.

Things to do in the near future-
Get 20mm spacers
Change gearbox oil
Fit ph2 interior & dash

I had mm's and degrees confused. Would be nice if it was perfect though!

Progress looks good though dan.

Just need to convice Dr Jekyll that Ph2 rear lights is the way forward.

See ya tomorrow!

Dan can you do me a favour if you don't mind? Could you measure:

The height from centre of front arch to the ground.
The height from the little flat bit on rear arch (just before rear bumper connects) to the ground.
The height from bottom of bumper (not inc splitter) to the ground.

Im getting mine aligned and wheel weighted on Monday and raised mine up a tad today and was just wondering what heights you have going by the last pics of yours.

I will do this shortly.

I noticed that this car is sitting literally the same as flamer, so I must be doing something right.

The height from centre of front arch to the ground. - 570mm
The height from the little flat bit on rear arch (just before rear bumper connects) to the ground. - 560mm
The height from bottom of bumper (not inc splitter) to the ground. - 108mm

Rear needs raising tbh.
