Post by germ » 16 Jan 2008 01:11 pm

I just bought this off ebay the other day:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-RL-1 ... dZViewItem


went round to have a look and was alright condition bar the dents.. full service history etc new exhaust new alloys and tyres

Bargain at £350 ? for a cheap run around.


Cheers

yea i know, you have done a real nice job :D your a real insparation to me!

i think 1.8 16v engine quite common now only iam going to turbo! :twisted:

all i can say now is long long long.. its going to take forever and i have to watch money

i did make a 1.8spi laguna engine supercharged ready to put in but 145hp +-pushed it too far and it went bang :oops:


suspension needs work.. and need to find a cheap valver but iam in no rush!

It's definately possible, there are loads of parts for the 16v (including turboparts) But... expensive.

Keep us updated (in a new projecttopic) the renault ruins the begin :lol:
