[cliodestroyer]

well my brother gave me a clio 1.2 (Energy) to use to get to the clio breakers and back, i put it thru the MOT, and started to play with it

i stripped out the back seats trim seat belts carpet everything out


sprayed the wheels black and lowered it

i just wanted a low five door clio

[Bluebeard]

Well, your forum name is quite apt!

 

[iimushroomzii]

[Alex H]

But the damper and spring back in the rear, or have you already done the welding?

 

[cliodestroyer]

[Bluebeard]

[cliodestroyer]

[Bluebeard]

Have you not lowered the front yet?

 

[cliodestroyer]

[cliojim1]

[cliodestroyer]

[david_ntg]

[Dave..]

Put the engine back in and it might look a bit better.

Haha! very good. will of had your fair share of that then. Remember in my golf gti had such stupidly shaped seats it wasnt very easy

 

[cliodestroyer]

minis worse buckets ;-)

 

[Mark One]

So you've done the torsion beam cos its free.....but neglected to touch the front end.

I like the black wheels. But tbh, if your going that route, it needs more personal touches....bit of character

:lolup: didnt realise i had taken the engine out of it :rasp:

 

[snick01]

Reverse rake makes baby jesus cry!

 

[MK3]

Got any more plans for the car?


FLOL!

Well, your forum name is quite apt!

 

[Rob]

^^ that did make me laugh, a lot.

I think the general consesus is that the back should go a bit higher to match the front, or if you really want, drop the front right down too with some custom springs or similar.

A level car looks good, and most importantly, deliberate, a car where you could do fast and furious style wheelies just by having someone in the back is not so good....

So why not just break this one?

 

[wilky19]

because there is nothing wrong with it and he most probably got it cheap.

 

[AdamAnderton]

Lol comedy
Wots it like with 5 people in, pulling a wheely

 

[Alex H]

I'll be less tactile this time, it looks f**king s**t.

 

[DNT]

Wow, doesnt the exhaust catch???

 

[mat-nos]

get a valver engine in it.....epic sleeper!!
would put the front down abit more too!!

 

[danjf]

get the front lowered even lower and go to the extreme!!looks in good condition bodywork, personally not my choice of colour but its pretty sweet bud

 

[cliodestroyer]

no it's ok, the rear end has been offended enough so it is parting company with the weeds and being lifted (alittle)

i break clios but have to get to the yard

cheapest way was to get a car that didn't have many bits we'd need,


no PAS all manual windows and locks, NO SUNROOF (yay dry lap)

a few lil dents, so it's going a lil ratty style, i hear what your saying and i'll level it up

just wanted to see how long i could get it and still drive it

live on a speed bump and made it fine


cheers to the people that liked certain bits, and to the rest, i'll grow on ya


think i'll put a rsi lump in for now (when my brother allows)

[cliodestroyer]

??

 

[Savi]

Not bad mate, budget wise its great lol

Need to raise the rear about 20mm max, then lower the front about 35mm+

This is mine when i was running 13" steels for a bit:

Cant see much but the front is 50mm eibach springs with the back just being a bit higher.

I think your rear is so low its pulling the front up tbh. But i like the blue on black combo tbh

 

[MK3]

I admire your determination lol.

cheers to the people that liked certain bits, and to the rest, it'll grow on ya

 

[AdamAnderton]

I have some lowering springs for sale

 

[Moz168]

Low enough?! I like it.
Didnt know they did a Mk1 without a sunroof.

Worst picture ever to illustrate anything. Cant see fook all lol

 

[Savi]

LOL well you can just about see half good rake with springs

 

[Josh2391]

Yeah thats a fair point, I too thought all Mk1's had a sun roof?

 

[sideways danny]

awesomeness. I love it

 

[Martin_172]

But the damper and spring back in the rear, or have you already done the welding?

Fail

and it's mint no rust, it's the mk2's that rust like a metro
