Oooo I've had a delivery today... it's a large box... Unfortunately... I didn't get to open it, because I'm at work. Which also excuses the nails in the next picture ;) H&R springs! Can I get a whoop whoop [emoji23] I'm a bit excited. So, after a bit of reading - because I was going to...

Hey and sorry to hear about the box, it's a common issue for the 197 it has to be said. That price is awesome, well worth getting clutch done at the same time! It'll feel like a different car ;)

Welcome aboard mate :) A clio in its natural habitat I see, nothing changes ;) Great bunch of guys here!

They're H&R springs. 30mm drop on front and 40mm drop on rear. Car should sit level and just above the arch :P

Quick update. Been a little quite recently as I've not had much to update, you'll be happy to know the car is still working brilliantly! So much so that I've ordered an awesome little bit of kit... These are on express delivery, so hopefully should have them on soon, as I'm at Cadwell -...

Who knows :( I don't know my BMW, so forgive me if I get this wrong but a 1.9 petrol?

Your guess is as good as mine, he bought it like that. I'll suggest it to him, although he'll probably say no because he won't want to paint the car anymore haha!

Cheers M! Owner quite likes it and it's smoothed in quite nicely ontop, shame about the other bit not being smoothed. Hey ho, not my car ;)

He was very happy! He couldn't thank me enough! It was a job for a job, so I'm booked in for wing mirror caps and door handles to be painted black ;)

It looks even more amazing in person, it's a 3 stage pearl so has a really nice orange flip to it! Thank you :) Always room for improvement though ;)

Welcome Welcome! Plenty of egg-heads on the forum to help you out with suspension set ups, I would suggest giving some peoples progress threads a read over to maybe help you out and gain an idea of what you need :)

Welcome! The car looks mint to say the least! Get a progress thread set up ;) Then follow the car with a camera everywhere you go! Looking forward to giving it a read :)

As the title suggests, it's not a Clio... however, it is detailing orientated. I had the joys of cleaning this almost freshly painted BM. I don't claim to be a detailer by any shot, as I've still got some road to go, but I got a really good finish on this, & I was quite proud of myself. The...

Hi all, Got a 57 plate 197 F1. This is how it sits at the minute. Question is, I want to have the 'race car' look so the arch sits just above the wheel, so I'm thinking about 30mm (a guess). Which springs are the best and do I need new shocks to go with? I've only done coilovers previously...

Yes yes & yes! I'm hoping I'll have a new job by the end of the year, and if this happens, it's definitely going to be a purchase! Going to track it and drive it like I just don't care haha! I'm stealing your drive it like you stole it idea!

Just a few ;) I think if I didn't have kids already, I definitely would've set fire to the damn thing haha! Oh it was, usually I'm in a hurry to get my car back, on this occasion I wasn't, I was more saddened that I had to give the 172 back

I'm glad to see the back of the issues for sure! You're absolutely right, the hope is real haha, I'm praying that everyone that is making fun of the car saying "it'll be broke in a week" is completely wrong, mainly so I can laugh at them haha! Luckily for me I've got more than one day off, I...

Right so big update I guess... The car is now fixed!! It has been a long distance between then and now, looking back I don't even know how I managed to keep the motivation to plod along and keep chipping away at the issues it had because my god... this car has tested my patience! Any who...

Sorted. No idea what it was, replaced the fuse anyway

All I seem to do is provide quick updates haha! Anyway, here's another quick update. Car is in tomorrow for a new column as the needle bearing (UJ) had broken and now needs fixing. Other than that the car is pretty much fixed on all aspects, mechanically anyway ;) I decided, in good spirit a...
