My new car - no 56K!

[p3rcy1]

very clean...

although that throttle cable looks like its going to vibrate and rattle like a biatch resting on the engine cover like that...

cant be right surely?

just spotted the RenaultSport sticker... thats criminal! :rasp:

its classed as a sport mate it says so on the log book :rasp:

 

[Martin_172]

RSi - RenaultSport Injection LOL

looking good giles, im in the mood for stripping mine and cleaning it now lol

so what you doing with the 1.2, it going to be your daily driver and the RSi a weekend toy?

 

[Roystan]

Nice, not keen on the wheels though bro

 

[Rststevo]

Look what I found under front wings.....full of muds QUOTE]

sorry for dragging this one out of the pages. when i got my clio off my brother i checked behind the arches when i was cleaning it, not only did i find a gardens' worth of mud, but a weed growing rather well in the drivers side!

 

[rock]

looks great, mines the same, but in SA they sold it to me as "Renault Clio Sport", just have "16v" badges on the side instead of RSi - how can I check if I have an alloy bonnet and also, is the engine cover standard - I don;t have one and wouldn't mind trying to get me hands on one.

When the 1.6 16v car first came out in the UK, it was badged as a 16v. As it was (at the time) the only Clio2 with a 16v engine.

Some clio mk2 16v 1.6 or RSi have alloy bonnet and I'm sure you got one or take a pics of your bonnet when it open
The engine cover I got come from megane 1.6 2001 and fit easy. Do you have megane over there??

[Millsy]

giles, how easy was your engine cover to fit? i assumed i'd need the little upstands on the plenum to make the cover clip onto mine and as my plenum doesnt have the upstands i havnt bothered getting the cover. did yours have the little upstands of plastic for the cover to clip onto?

 

[Giles]

Yeah it fit on easy and I'm sure you got upstand. I will take some pics later on

 

[Giles]

[Blue4Ever]

So is the 172 interior in the rsi now??? How come you bought rsi interior for the 1.2? Bit confused here, I have had a few pints like but I thought you were just swapping everything from the 1.2 onto the 1.6?

 

[Giles]

No I'm leaving my RSi interior for now because I like them.
I brought another RSi interior for 1.2 to get it ready to sell soon and going to looks like a RSi

172 interior gone :dapprove:

 

[Blue4Ever]

Are you mad!!?? Should of put it in the rsi !

Who you sold it to, how much?

 

[Djw John]

So you sold teh 172 interior instead of putting it in the RSi?!

 

[Giles]
