My Little Valver



  MK1 Clio 1.8 16v
So i've recently brought a valver, only problem is that the previous owner has replaced the black leather interior with the dimma creme leather interior, it seems that finding the complete black leather interior is near impossible !!

Any thought's on what i could do? as this interior is a little bit tatty needs a recon, but just hate the colour.

Thanks in advance.

Still running sweet, although tappets just started to tap, just brought a new engine though, currently rebuild it.
BTW did you get your new coil overs sort?

My old one :) I want it back now lol
How's it treating ya?

It didn't have black leather before mate, it was standard ph2 interior (which I still have in my garage!) altho try eBay, I believe Renault 19 leather fits too with a bit of modification

yeah it's all good, just after a little bit more power out of my new engine.
What was the phs2 interior was it the half leather?

Rappers always have done that mate, they quieten down after 5-10 mins, it's just a valver thing!

But if you have a new engine just go with that lol the old engine felt really strong in that one! I out run a Williams one nIght in it haha

Yeah think I sorted them for now! The rear shocks are so soft tho! Not good lol maybe time for new better ones

yeah it does shift but once the new engine is in i'll be rebuilding the old one as well as a spare, what about this interior you have any good??

When i've finished all the work on this valver i'll have to pop over for you to see, or post you some pics or something, wont be for a while though money seems to be an issue.

Yeah you'll have to mate! I do miss it :( have you got the arches done yet?

The seats were just the ph2 fabric seats! Search it on clio16valver, you'll have to swap the runners over as ph2 and ph1 have different seat runners

What's everyone's thoughts on Cambridge roads, just seems that every time i go out in the valver the rear suspension seems to get worse, i.e. the bushes are now fooked because of Cambridge roads.
The rear has all stiffened up and is now knocking over the bumps and over the shear fact that the roads are completely fooked.

Sure it's not the exhaust on the beam? Used to f**k me off! They eat rubber mounts and it sits very very close to the rear beam

Still got these seats if you want them? Going to tip otherwise
