Micks Mk1 Clio.

[MickRT]

Shes a 1.4 8v RT 80Bhp.

Ive been wanting an Original Mk1 Clio for awhile now, all she needed was a little TLC, Check her out.

Woke up the morning after i bought her and give her a quick wash.

First thing first, She needed lowered, So called upon the help of hammy and his laptop, Google'd how to lower a torsion bar, And 20 mins later she was lowered!

Hammy breakin Wheel nuts.

Hammy measuring 3 clicks.

Me refurbing the alloys, lol.

Hammy fitting the new front springs, And Dee helping (lol).

Big dee helping agian.

Hammys place of work, lol.

Wire brushed and sprayed the drums while i was there, Primed then a good top coat.

Hammy lowered it 3 clicks at the back, And 60mil springs in the front.

Job done, All in around an hour, Then he took her up for road for a wash at the garage.

Results.

Took her for a quick photo shoot after she dried out.

Gave the front end a quick polish today as it was dull.

Turned out well.

Plans are to get a de-cet and a middle section with no silencer, Then maybe an ashley back box.

After that maybe think of getting a different set of wheels, Although im starting to like the mk1 Champs on her.

Comments welcome.

Do hope the brake drums are not still bright red
Other then that I think that's one of the best MK1 colours they made.
Also still with original Ph2 champs elysees Alloys

We all start some where with new cars, Yes its a phrase 2.
Also I like them alloys suit the car just perfect.

Do you know much about how the Champs Eyleese model is different from the other ph2s?

You cant just guess the torsion bar by the number of clicks?

Clicks is a term for the number of splines, Sorry lol.

Indeed I do Well all I really noticed between the Champs and the normal Ph2's is the champs came with alloys, also i've noticed alot of the champs i work on have a front anti roll bar. but some of the other RT Ph2s don't But that could just be the engine sizes
