R5 GTT EFI Clio.
Hi Guys,
Would 1st off like to give you a little bit of information about myself then onto me car , my name is Nick Harding, i am 16, nearly 17 so will be on the road soon.
You guys have pulled together a fantastic forum full of valuable information and am proud that i am now a part of it .
When i pass my test in December/Jan, my parents are giving me a Renault Clio 1.2 8V 2002 model, I want to lower it, but am unsure if i can do it on the standard shocks/springs? and also, how much should i lower it by?, looking at the arches its pretty high, but looking at the bottom of the front bumper, its pretty low.
Here are some pics of my car.. (Sorry in advance for poor quality, phone pics)..
I need to sort the front bumper and bonnet out as my dad hit a duck doing about 60 through a lane late one morning on the way to work, so ignor that.
I am currently trying to source a Renault 5 GT Turbo engine, i know them like the back of my hand, gonna strip down, completly rebuild it, T25 front end / T2 Back end turbo, going to be converting it from Carb to EFI also and planning to drop that in it, should be good for 230 Break
Any ideas of mods i can do in the time while i am looking for an engine?
cheers,
Nick.
