Default renault clio 16v project.

Just thought I'd show you my daily since you don't see many about these days .. having never owned a Renault as a daily it's awesome all 137bhp goes through the bends like it's on rails ..feels faster than it is and is great fun on these tight welsh roads ..I've been doing odd bits on my days off to make it a little better ..as it had been stood for 8 years in a barn .. hope you enjoy .

Many thanks Mat.

They're a proper giggle and suprisingly capable even today. A clean one like yours you'll never loose on it.

Love these been looking for another but there so thin on the ground now and they all look rough that are for sale. I had a phase 2 m reg naples red one before I got my s2. Love the rs but wish I'd still got the clio and not sold it. Looks nice matt.

I love seeing pics of a 1.4s, was my first car and I have fond memories of it (despite My being a bit of a shitty rust box)

OP - loving your 16v Clio too, never been in one of these but I've had an R5 GTT and a Clio 182 so I'd imagine the 16v will be somewhere in between and equally awesome. Looks like you're making great progress too

I think i'm sure I read somewhere people was using the turbo lumps out of them for in clios?

Last really modified one I saw was the 1.8t converted one, should go well but imo the 1.8t's are too quiet and soul less compared to these engines unless loads of money chucked at them.
