I got one! (finally)



  Clio 1.4 Fidji
i put up a post last week about getting a 1.4 or RSi, well couldnt find one rsi for sale in NI
went to look at a few 1.4s and my god there is some shi*e ones about, worst was one with no clutch, no indicators, no brake lights, no brakes! and sounded like all 4 wheel bearings were away! yuck!

the rest wernt much better was pee'd off and just decided to call into local auction last night on the way past, came out 10 mins later with this lol

its a 1.4 fidji 110k, i found out tonight tho it has no limiter, looks like its a carb and not single point injection? also has a manual choke, any way to convert to SPI, last thing i want to do is blow engine lol.

i also got fancy ph2 bumpstrips from scrappy but my ph1 has smaller clips on doors and back panel :( can the bigger clips be bought from reno and put in place of smaller ones? dont fancy sticking them on.

Thanks for reading :)
 
IIRC the first MK1 Clio's to roll off the production line had the 1.2 / 1.4 engines from the old Renault 5 - hense the carb. They didnt put the newer fuel injected Clio engines in for about 6 months in...

  ST on the way...
Stick with the carb and get an open ITG airfilter.

Out of interest, is it the twin choke weber?
 
  Clio 1.4 Fidji
I think it is a twin choke, one chamber for choke and one controlled by throttle cable? ill take air filter off again later and post a pic.

its a lot nippier than my 1.4 RT it was injection, does that mean then that the carb can be set up better as well? it has no cat either just a small silencer so dont have to de-cat this one

got it with 3/4 service history, 6 months MOT for £140 including auction charges, not bad i think. feels good to have a clio again after driving a mondeo for the last year
