been saying for years i wanted one of these, an now finally got 1.

will post up some more pics soon, she needs a wash first

nice one looks solid.

got the ecu out at the mo just trying to figure out weather to change back to standard or not?!
some kind of chip in there but raised rev limit for 7500 to 8200!

is that a williams?

Almost, the 16v is the 1.8 @ 137bhp, the Williams is 2.0 @ 150bhp. Think they are the same F16ie engine, just different capacities. The difference to 60 is minimal though, like 3 seconds. The 16v is rapid for what it is, think the insurance group is about 12 whereas the Williams is G17, also the Williams are a lot rarer and carry a significant price premium over the 16v. For the difference in price, it's not worth it, unless you simply want the Williams for the looks and slight performance advantage and have a bit of money to burn.

And you know I love this Sean lol!

lol, i once had a 1.4 and that was quick so i can imagine the acceleration of this.

Nice choice of car, not many around

they r getting rarer by the day. yea it is fooking quick!

yea matty i know u got love for this car!
ive been after one of these for the last 7 years, made up i got 1 now, an the colour i wanted.
few little things that need attention on it but will be sorted in good time

good to see you back in a clio

Friggin A man, good to see some old cars on here again!

after driving it home for you sean all I can say is very nice solid motor and what a smile factor too, good luck with project clio on the roof!

Looks good Sean - get some better pics up!

cheers guys, an masive thanks to andy for driving it home.

better pics will be up soon, need to fix a few things first an clean it!

dont suppose any 1 has a bucket seat up for sale do they?

had the ecu out the other day, had a standard ecu to compare it.
defo some kind of chip in there, god know what tho??



few pics of the car not clean yet!



been de wipered at some point leaving a scar!

also had some spoiler fitted to it



inside is in ok condition, needs a new seat, an a tidy up here an there



found a 16v for breaking in a yard in vegas so was straight there stripping it for bits!





engine needs a bit of tidying aswell.



missing a spark plug cover, thinking maybe go for yellow in the engine bay? yellow rocker cover, an inlet and hoses?

"MRG Sports" do all sorts of performance engine stuff, don't know if that is one of their chips.

still cant find any info on the chip, need to get it on a rr i think

found this today tho

pics to small. what is it?

the bell housing dont meet the bolck, explosing the flywheel

i like this car, how is it progressing?

cheers mate, goin well, just getting it straight, was doing the aux belt today an noticed that in the previous post, a bit worried about that tbh!

are all the bolts joing the bell housing and block intact and tight. sometimes there is a gap, i wouldnt worry if all bolts are there and tight

its all tight in there, nothing moving around or anything.
found out that at some point the gear box has gone an been replaced with a meggy 2ltr item, the bell housings are diffrent and dont mate up perfectly but apprently ita a better box to have an no adverse affects with the flywheel exposed

Anyway of making a shield for it on the "what if" situation?

that was what i was thinking, like an extended sump gard or somthing, looking into it now

Just some 1.2mm plate bent to cover the opening. Or a under bonnet tray??

apparenlty is a 1.9d box, better acceleration out of it.


still got my old wheels, may end up gettin them powder coasted black

bit of a mad idea came to me yesterday, while cleaning the filter on the clio
ive ordered a converter for the throtel body to make the outlet 80mm in diameter tho route the intake into the scuttle pannel(perfect heat sheilded placde for the filter.
ive seen people just use this for a cold feed, but im gonna mount the whole filter in there. need to move a few things round first tho, but at least i dont have to move the battery yet!



using the accords old kit, needs some cutting to fit tho, the car and the pipe!
