i drive my old dears mk1 clio diesel all the time!
look like a right spanner in such a gay little car

but is no worse than a non GTT R5 in that way.

its a sleeper, im not going croozin in it, dont matter it looks toss.

same as my S12, i wouldnt be seen dead in it, but i dont drive it anywhere where anyone sees me driving it in any other way than maximum attack

a dented fucked beige shitbox
Sounds like a porn film title


What's wrong with the carb?? I ran one on a 2.0L pinto turbo.. so I'm sure it'll be no probs on a 1.7. It's not like you're gonna be bragging on the MPG on cruise, cheap sleeper... keep the carb IMO

plus if anyone was going to do it to a clio its a good warning its more work than me and my mate first thought

plus theres people on here that may be able to help me get the info i need as ive asked everywhere, but im not going to pay to go on awebsite to even browse it
There's an N Reg 5 Campus here at work, maybe get a later base model and transfer everything over
