New Clio Project



  Clio Mk2 PH1 1.2
After snapping the lower arm and bending the subframe, I decided it was time to get a new car. I had poured tons of money into my old Clio and got nowhere with it (mostly mechanical)

So one night last week after work, I bought a new Clio, for 200 notes, with a buggered Head. Having changed the engine in my old Clio roughly 3 months ago, I decided to drop my engine in the new shell over the course of the weekend.

Luckily, It's the same colour as my old one: MV632.

After getting down my brothers garage, we started stripping it down:

Turned out, the cam-belt had snapped and it had two bent valves. Nice.

So the new head went on, put everything back on, it works -Yay!

Other stuff I've done/in the works:
  • Put a set of foggys on there.
  • Ordered a set Lowering springs (can't find coilovers for a reasonable price anywhere)
  • Looking for a set of Borbets/ATS/Turbines/172 16"s. - If I can get a set for a reasonable price...

Today, I decided to sort out the tweeters because I couldn't hear any audio from them. Turned out there wasn't any lol. So I bought 2 Infinity 10.3t's.

After stripping down the dash, I soon found out they wouldn't fit without a bit of modifying.

So after trimming them down, they slotted right in.

Tomorrows jobs:

Make a stealth shelf to put in my 6x9's.
Wire up amp to power 6x9's/ Infinity rear speakers.

Bit of an update:

Finally got it lowered on 40mm springs, but I wasn't liking the lowered on steelys look so I have put some 17"s on there for the time being. They're only temporary until I get paid at the end of the month, then i'll start looking for some 'euro' or 172 cup wheels.

I've also put a standard splitter on there to make it look a bit better.

& Finally found some dual optics, pics to follow shortly!

driving home yesterday in the rain the wiper blade linkage failed? It's the second time it's done this, is this a common fault?
