First Post, First Car, First Project. What could go wrong eh? (mk2 1.2 16v)
Clio mk3
Yeah the lower the betterhow low you thinkin of goin?
was thinking 30mm as i cant be bothered to scrape my bumper on speed bums because there's alot of them where i live. but im thinking of going 40mm. Still not decided on getting coilovers or just springs as theyre cheaper
Clio mk3
ill have to see what i can afford when the time comes haha,whats yours sitting on? 60mm?30/40mm wont be that noticable, but youll still be able to go over bumps haha
yeah man 60mm springs. wish id have got coilies though, i dont reckon its low enough....
Clio mk3

I had 16mm all round. Front was fine but rear was too much even when I raised it so I have 12 and it sits about perfect.
So a new lad has started at our place, found out he's into cars and started talking.
Found out he works on the side at a body shop and sprays cars. He asked me if id ever want mine spraying, he could do it for £1500. Was abit skeptical at first but he showed me some of his work and from what i saw, its pretty damn good. Hes sprayed skylines, evos, scoobys right down to corsa's, clios etc. Obviously they were pics and i cant say until i saw the paint in person.
So now im slightly interested...
Wouldn't mind a white clio with gold & white lenso's.....

Cars been condensating extremely badly recently, and ive put it down to the sunrooof. i get mad wet patches at the top of the front pillars, and now my drives side footwell is soaked :/
im thinking of taking the sunroof out and sealing round the edge with silicon as i think the leak is there the plastic trim meets the roof. (so the water gets in the void between the roof & ceiling)
Anyone done this before? also anyone got any tips for drying the car out well?
fuckin sunroofs....

Yeahhhh welcome to the party! towel to soak it up, then either blow-dry the carpet, or if you can, remove the entire carpet and hand to dry as there's a load of water-absorbant foam under there.
Anyway, if that's not an option, blowdry it, or leave it running for an hour or so, max heater on full blast, leave a window down an inch or so to let the moist air out, downside is it costs a fortune in petrol and still wont get it totally dry.
Some silica gel, or moisture absorbers are pretty handy as well. If you cant remove the carpet, get some anti-fungal spray to keep the carpet from getting smelly.
That gap is part of the problem i think, there are a lot of videos on youtube about it and where you need to be putting sealant etc. I need it fixed on mine too as it's starting to flood again. I want to get it sorted before the snow comes!
Pretty s**t party!
Towel idea sounds handy, i presume removing the carpet would be an arse of a job... will get some spray this week and try and get the sunroof sealed. might have to tape a binbag over it for now aha!
will have a mooch on youtube now, see what i can find. My god if it snows, im gonna be fucked...
Cheers mate!
sunroof is done!
Ripped it out, cleaned it up, left it to dry. The void between my roof and ceiling was f**king soaking! all down the front pillars aswell
re-siliconed everything and bolted it back up, fingers crossed it holds! im gonna tape a bag over it tonight to let it dry properly, a quick test with a hose earlier showed no signs of leakage inside
Drain pipes were clear aswell so bonus!

How hard is it to remove the old interior and fit in the sports lot mate?
Cheers pal
Easy mate. you'll need to get underneath the car but apart from that it all just unbolts and lifts out, no drama!
Wow mate that's looking awesome!! You want to come over and sort out my sunroof for me? Flights not included
