My MK3 TCE.........

[Emblem]

Just thought i would put a thread with my Clio.......

No real mods as yet, its needs lowering, been offered some -30mm springs, but dont think that will be enough,

Pretty nippy for a 1.2.... however a remap will come along at some point..

Let me know what you think.

Cheers Craig

My old astra...

The clio day after i got it

Doing the wheels.........

How it is at the mo.....

​

 

[Dan...]

Looks nice

 

[DanEdser]

Nice, needs to be dropped though!

And maybe wrap the silver thing in the front bumper black

 

[Emblem]

Cheers guys...

Yeah needs a big drop.. and wheels spaced....

Not too sure about wrapping the front silver plastic, i like the silver and black theme...

​

 

[ksykes23]

If your gonna get springs get 45mm but even then, if you could stretch to coilovers, i would

 

[JP83]

Keep the silver and black in my opinion. Looks nice.

​I'll have some 40mm FK springs coming up soon. Will have done less than 300 miles.

 

[Westytce]

Nice. Better with ko3 up her

 

[glowworm105]

Will look good when it's lowered a bit but please get a new jack lol I remember my old Clio falling off the same one when changing a wheel

 

[Emblem]

Update.....

So i have bought some -30mm springs very cheap.. will put them on this week and see how it looks,

Will put a pic on once i have done it..

Is lowering a hard job to do on this clio? Anything likely to break? Just want to prepare myself first, so will have everything to hand

How it looks atm..

​Thanks Craig

Depends on your mechanical knowledge. The rears are very simple. Jack up both sides, put axle stands in place. Then 1 side at a time, put jack under the trailing arm, as you unbolt the lower shock bolt, lower the jack down as the hub, etc, will drop. Springs can be a tight squeeze to get out and in again.

Fronts, you'll have to disassemble the front shock. On the Mk3, you have to undo the ARB droplink top bolt (allen key in middle, and spanner to undo the nut), the bolt holding the bracket (which holds wiring in place) and the 2 bolts holding the bottom of the shock.

Then it's spring compressors, and take apart the shock.

Guide here, albeit for a Mk2, to give you an idea: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...wering-springs-to-a-Mk2-Clio&highlight=spring

Sizing for the bolts is different too, so make sure you have a full socket set, offset spanners, breaker bar, etc.

Thanks for the advice, lowered yesterday, love the look... IMO -30MM is more than enough.

​Pics soon

 

[Emblem]

Thinking about tinting my fog lights with yellow film?

What you all think?

Looking good, has a nice stance since you lowered it

 

[ksykes23]

Cheers, yeah have thought about.. dont know what size i would get tho? Any ideas? Thanks Craig

 

[ksykes23]

You are running the standard canasta 16" wheels so you should easily get 20mm on the back and either 15/20 up front. Depends if you have the flared arches at the front or not. Fk bolt to hub (system b) spacers are a good shout

exhaust, filter and decat on a standard engine will probably get you at very most 10bhp, with a stage 1 map 130bhp should be achievable but injectors are limiting you massively, 172/182 injectors and another map and 145bhp should be achieavable with an intercooler

 

[Emblem]

Its an exhaust that im after now.... What do people recommend? Cat back system?

 

[Chris_MK3]
