Tommy's Green Mk1

[-Tommy.]

Hello all, the last time I was on here was before memory, so I thought it was about time to post up some pics of where my clio is now.

Due to be finished end of May, just needing an overall tidy up and arches finished etc. little touches that'll complete it

Thaanks for looking,
Comments welcomed.

Absolutely love this! any more pics? interior?

 

[-Tommy.]

Thanks alot for the comments everyone

Most of the pics i do have are from my mobile meaning you cant really see much, but i will get some more photos done and upped soon.

Heres another interior pic for now, try to keep it spotless lol:

And a random one from a little while ago... no trim ftw?:

 

[Aluco]

Is that "euro" ? because if it is it's the first "euro'd" clio I've seen I actually really really like !

 

[Jason_E]

Such an awesome little motor

 

[sideways danny]

really really like that really really lots

 

[Moose23]

Looks great glad iam not alone in having a mk1 what engine u got? How low is it?

 

[-Tommy.]

Heh thanks again everyone; much appreciated.

It regularly falls into the category/label of euro but i like to consider it just me! As i dont follow a paticular style.

I have the trusty 1.2 engine still in it seeing as it has only 54,000 miles.. but the plan was to dump a willy engine in there!

Regarding the lowering, i honestly dont know now exactly.. constantly tweaking it. But as she stands at the moment its still 2 and a half inches from the floor at the front with a bit of mad rake at the minute. Will be hiding tops of tyres once finished!

Also if you remember it last year, I had this roof installed:

New one coming soon of the cream variety!

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning .

 

[.GAZ.]

Nice

 

[Martin_172]

awesome!

 

[Nafoff]

looks good that

 

[BIFCAIDS]

to make that truely awesome it needs a F7R in it

 

[sideways danny]

I wouldn't willy engine it, would make it too much like all the other mk1s. Do something interesting and imaginative like a K4M on ITBs, or a turbo's 1.2 16v (D4FT)

 

[BIFCAIDS]

danny is that second engine the modern 1.2t engine?

 

[sideways danny]

yeah, clio TCE/ Twingo GT

 

[BIFCAIDS]

is that engine the same as the new 1.2 16v engine thats in mine (mk2 ph3) its got a newer engine than the other mk2's

** just read what ive type'd and it makes not much sense lol,

Mines a 2005 clio but its the mk2 shape different engine than the previous years

 

[-Tommy.]

Like the idea for ITB's and a turbo would be great too.. there are so many engines that would fit in the bay.. what d'ya think would be the best one?!

 

[Mark One]

that would be ideal for a DCi IMO

Awesome car

 

[Alastair.]

loving this!!

 

[Greeny.]

Cool motor!

 

[Winston]

It needs to stay energy'd or a low cc engine for sump clearance

Im still awaiting pics of the underside damage from lows.. then you can have your crown lol

 

[Darren S]

Good effort! I like the fact that you've taken your time with it - built it up with various ideas while still chucking a lot of TLC at it.

D.

 

[mat-nos]

stunning car, as winston says unless you want bent subframes and smashed sumps (lol they were the days)
i would stick a 1.4 on carbs in there and run rsi brakes so you can keep the 13's

 

[-Tommy.]

Thanks again everyone.

Winst, where there is a will there is a way lol.. and I'll get some pics when I can
