is it your 1st car?

yep it will be my firstm, passed my test over a month and a half ago now... spent this time looking for a decent one.

its a pretty good base for some tweeking, allready got a well looked after RSi interior in it which i love, and other than that is standard.... FSH, leccy windows/mirrors, sunroof.. etc etc.. the usual spec :)

cant wait.

Ahhh RT's 8)

I've never abused a car more than I did my maaa's old RT...

It beat me - never did anything wrong - utterly reliable bar some wierd leecy problem - blew a brake bulb every 2 weeks without fail :D

samboRT
03-06-2006, 00:12
glad you all like the RT's then.... felt a bit weird joining "williams clio" with youre valver and such hehe....

yeah cant wait to get it, no doubt will be at some meets... here it is how it looks at the minute... any ideas for mods people?

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5590/cliobits1219183pd.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

very plain, but a well looked after car by the looks of it...

the RSi interior too...

Without the sales and popularuty of the RN, the RT there wouldn't have been a need for them to create a hot version, the valver, Then they're wouldn't have been the Williams....

We are all in debt of the baby beast :wink:

Where's the spinners?!?!? :shock:

samboRT
03-06-2006, 00:23
haha coops, well done lad! got any of the parts left from that beast before you sold it? i want the colour coded mirrors... its amazing with a few mods what you can do, look so weak and friendly at first, few mods and they can look the dogs danglies!

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:24
Where's the spinners?!?!? :shock:

oi, i thought for a young lad i did a reasonably tidy job of that, 35mm down, 15's and a 3" inward rolled zorst n thats it!

then i ditched it n hit a pheasant so i had to phase 1 the front end, hence yellow fogs etc! :roll: :lol:

my sister is still running the car as is, its got plenty of life left in it yet! :wink:

colour coded the mirrors myself, few tins of primer, iceberg silver, and laquer from halfrauds and a load of maskin later and ur away! 8)

cool cool, how did you get rid of the plastim trim fron the front bumper dude? is it pre painted underneath?

samboRT
03-06-2006, 00:27
oh yeah, and what zaust you got on there, make? it looks mint

Daz.
03-06-2006, 00:28
Spinners are the way forward - I'm after some that cover the tyres too so it looks like your driving down the road on just rims....

Green or red for the neons? :-k

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:30

twer a piper one from demon tweaks, sounded good n all, only mild steel back box tho, nowt performance related! :wink:

Daz.
03-06-2006, 00:32
I've decided... Green Neons \:D/

Now then do I code the bump strips to match...

Kinda like a sideways train track stylie look...

Unique willy time i'm thinking!!

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:33
cool cool, how did you get rid of the plastim trim fron the front bumper dude? is it pre painted underneath?

i didnt mate, i had to buy a whole new front end when i hit a pheasant n shagged my bonnet and put it in a ditch thus kippering my bumper. i got a bonnet n bumper with fogs for 50 quid from a scrappy but it was off a very early (h reg) phase 1 5 door rt so they didnt have the plastic inserts! i liked it tho more, looks cleaner! 8)

Shame they didn't just leave them off, bet that would work on a valver/willy front and back...

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:42
:? now u lost me matey!

Daz.
03-06-2006, 00:43
the lack of bump strips!!!

samboRT
03-06-2006, 00:44
yeah does look much better... im going to do a sort of rep, valver wings/bonnet/arches.... :)

it makes such an improvement... shame i will only have ghey pathetic small rear arches though hehehe

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:45
true, but renault had to deal with french people parkin, u seen how they park in france? just shunt the other car put the way! :shock:

samboRT
03-06-2006, 00:47

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:50

Silver RT? Polished Turbines 8)

Coops
03-06-2006, 00:56
now that wud look minty fresh! in some ways i like the smoother lines of the none flared rt bodywork, and in silver it does look really smooth.
but then i see sense again n look at my phat ass valver n fall in love again with its curves! :oops:

Allan
03-06-2006, 00:57
Just take off the trims and paint up the metal with some wheel sliver ;) job done

Daz.
03-06-2006, 01:01
See you dissed my spinners idea but c'mon admit it polished spinners would look the tits!!!

samboRT
03-06-2006, 01:02
lol @ allan im going to have to do that first... fook me im skint! haha

yeah have seen pics of winstons, looks a minter when that low, he got the r5 gtt brakes to be able fit 13's on?

Coops
03-06-2006, 01:03
yeahm same as me, am runnin 'GTT' brakes (actually off a RSi, but we dont like to say so!lol) but am on 15's, my car just had small breaks when i bought it! :?

samboRT
03-06-2006, 01:05
ahhh i see, sounds odd that it had the smaller brakes :S

cant wait to get my car, setting off at 12, about2 hour drive in either a clio 182 or meggy 225 and she will be alll mineeeeee yeeeyyyy!

is there any, D.I.Y mods you can do to make them better? without spending money? lol

little tweaks?

Daz.
03-06-2006, 01:10
No I insist on calling them RSI brakes.....


RSI RSI RSI RSI RSI (Repetitive Small Brake Injury anyone?) 8)

:lol: at daz!

part from the free adjustable ride height rear suspension nothing on a clio is free as you will learn!! :wink:

samboRT
03-06-2006, 01:14
and i suppose even the rear free adjutable suspension isnt free for long.... boom... standard shocks have bottomed out....££££££ CACHINGG :(

i need to get saving for bits n bobs!

Daz.
03-06-2006, 01:15
I think its time for a new shocks all round day soon...

The fact its been dropped all its 11 year life doesn't bode well for the state of the shocks!!

Coops
03-06-2006, 01:15
:wink:

altho i lowered my rt 3 years ago and its still okay! 8)

samboRT
03-06-2006, 01:17

samboRT

sooo cum on people what rims, i do like turbines... they are cheap... but boring :(

any more, what do people have on them these days... other than willy rims?

Daz.
03-06-2006, 01:19
Hey Sambo you post hoarder lol

samboRT
03-06-2006, 01:19
Bloody hell a two page Newbie sectioner already....

lol.... i think it has developed in to a lot more than a welcome, asked all my questions in one thread :P

Daz.
03-06-2006, 01:23
Doubt you'll get many more till the morning now - i'm fudged i'm off to my pit...

As for alloys I truely only like the original 4's Willy's Phase 2's Turbines and Steelies :D

Although the phase 1 19 alloys look bloody ace too - If I didn't have the willy and was doing something with my old valver i'd have black phase 1 19 wheels with a deep polished lip - polished past the lip and down a bit more :wink:

samboRT
03-06-2006, 01:27
hmmm its a possibility Daz0rz, i do like the look of the willy/turbines rims etc.. but think they are to common these days...

i will get pics up of my car later on today :)

thanks alot for the help guys!
