SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Australia)



Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra

I never seen a Mondial blue in person but is the one I really love... I reckon that this wrapping blue is slightly brighter than mondial..

My idea was to make a fake new Clio model to fill the gap between a Clio V6 and a Clio RS Cup..
So i wanted same color of the classic V6 blue..

You mean Iliad Blue?

There was no 172 Cup in Oz, therefore no Mondial Blue. Could've gone with an Arctic 182 though that would've been close. Sounds like you got yours at well below market value though so wrapping is a small price to pay. Looked ridiculous on Sunday's cruise.

Getting new headlights IIRC, can't remember but I think they're off a saloon variant of the Clio.

How wide is that bodykit! Looking forward to the finished product mate.

Are you going to sort out the wheel base eventually?

What are you going to do where the headlights and wings Join, Looks like that void could create drag.

It looks like that in the actual car doesn't it

This doesn't look like it will end well. The rear quarters will need cutting into if you're going to fill that rear arch properly, and those wheels are awful.

Deep down I hope it turns out well in the end, but I just dont think it will.
 
Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra

I agree lol.

Are the headlights the same size or a bit longer? Can't work it out but they're definitely a different style. (Indicator at the bottom)

They look the same basic shape, the s1600 lights will just be off a euro spec car... I hope op keeps the xenons!
 
Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra

I think its going to be awesome, interesting to see how you make the track wider though, because that is MUCH wider than standard!

FLOL at all the comments about lights, panel gaps etc etc on this. Give the boy a chance he has just placed the kit on for a rough idea.

Still needs 1/4's cutting, arches tubed, lowered, widetracked and castor sorted out to sit nice and how it should look. S1600 have bespoke independent suspension in all corners so it needs some thought to work with the current layout.

Good luck OP, will look great if you finish it off right.

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of an s1600 Clio before, shall I get my coat?

I know right! Bad Ye!
I've seen images of them before like the one shown above, but never new they had a name as such.

What spec were they? Power wise etc


Don't mean to hog thread at all
Great project and look forward to seeing the progress :)

How much are you going to go with this mate? like suspension set up similar to the S1600, engine tuning etc...

Yep was a sketch for my mate who has to milling the piece.. Hopefully will hold the wheel for a while :)

The front is almost ready with arms and steering rod from laguna v6 but i cant find a driveshaft to fill the gap..
Monday i will go a bigger wrecker maybe i will be lucky.. Here there is not much part as in europe... :(

I was in the same situation and the biggest shaft I could find with 32 spline inner and outer cv was from a ph1 1.9d Scenic which turned out to be the same length as the shafts I have fitted to my 172 cup. I am just going for custom shafts now, too much messing.

Would be good to know if you find anything longer 650mm passenger side and 740mm driver side though.

Thanks swede very helpful!!!
Back in the 1996 the megane Cup with the Sadev sequential and standard free differential used the very long ones.. Almost 4cm each same driveshafts!!!.. I broken hundreds of them.. And they come from Safrane Baccara biturbo.. I wish renault used in some unknown recent model otherwise Impossible to find them now 20 years later.. :)

Really like this, fair play as some replicas can be really good if done well and this looks like it has potential.

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra

Is there no way to make the exhaust straight? That's the only thing letting this down

There is a way ^^:
Cut the double Exhaust-tip

And weld a nicer one on it.

So, that it will look like this on the Car:

Hey Riccardo! Glad to see you on here.

After meeting Riccardo a few times now and talking to him, he is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and passionate about his Clio and rallying. He is planning to start up a rally here in Sydney which would be awesome. He also makes really good pizza at his shop in Sydney! Haha

I can assure you this car is the real deal and he'll be looking at the Clio V6 for ideas an inspiration about the widening of the track.

Some photos from our drive on Sunday with the car before the bodykit:

Looking forward to see how this going to turn out!

As for winding over the rear track are you going to be doing something like this?

I saw this on a ex clio cup car in France, converted to a clio rs maxi. thought it might interest you.
 
Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra

Very nice search Andrew!
That blog is a bit hold but I really love it! did you see how cool is that F2000???? wow!!
Yes is going to be the same but I have to move the hub a bit up because I will use the ones from Laguna that are a bit bigger and the axle will hit the chassis...
