    1.8 16V Clio.....Rebuilt engine & Mint arches

    Here i have for sale my valver that has been my project car for the last year or so.

    A little bit of history on the car and engine:
    I purchased the engine from Patrick_g46 on here in October 2010.
    http://www.clio16valver.co.uk/forum/...p?f=12&t=41292
    As you can see from Patricks post the engine was rebuilt and had approx 22k miles on it when i purchased it(I have loads of pictures of the engine during its full strip down and rebuild)
    Due to the burning of oil mentioned in the post i decided to send it off to be checked before i fitted it.

    In December 2010 i took a trip down to Danny at 519 Automotive for him to have a good check over and find out why it was burning oil.
    It turned out to be a couple of valve stem seals wasnt seated properly.
    While it was there i had the following work carried out:
    Cylinder head rebuild inc full gasket set.
    New headbolts.
    Time in Kent cams.
    Hone bores and fit new rings.
    Fit cambelt kit.
    Fit thermostat.
    Fit new bolts to vernier pulleys.

    I then spotted another valver(The one for sale now)on eBay in January 2011 that had a lot of bodywork done to make it rust free.
    Inc having both arches cut out and re-welded with new metal to make them rust free, the windscreen was also removed to clear up the rust around the screen.
    I have plently of pics of the bodywork progress.

    This was now going to be the home for my rebuilt engine so went and picked it up the next day


    Now the history is out the way heres a brief description of the car:
    MOT untill (DATE)
    Tax untill (DATE)
    Had a full service when engine was fitted
    1.8 16v Clio engine with approx 23K miles on the bottom end and 200 miles on the head
    Kent 1601 cams and pulleys
    Turbine alloys fitted Yokohoma Parada tyres(Less than 500 miles on them)
    Strut brace
    The interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears anywhere and all the dials and electrics work fine.

    I have a folder full of old MOT's, reciepts for parts purchased and work carried out.
    The car went to KJ on (DATE) to be mapped where it produced (BHP) on the rollers.

    I never thought i would be selling this car as its something ive always said i will never do but due to needing a more economical car and money for a house deposit it has to go :(
    I have spent a lot of time and money on this car so wont be letting it go for peanuts but on the other hand i dont think im asking for too much considering the amount of work it has had done and the condition its in.


    This car is available in 2 packages:
    1. As it is at the minute with no MOT, Tax or Map....£1600
    2. I will get it all set up and mapped, 12 months MOT, 6 months tax and put on the dyno for a print out.....£2000

    Any questions drop me a PM on here.

    Don't forget this has a nicely ported head too. Seemed like a very nice job when i had it apart. Perfect base to put ITB's on. Real shame you're selling

    Looks real nice.

    What suspension is that running and is it widetracked?

    It's got standard shocks on the rear.
    Then standard shocks with 50mm springs on the front.

    No widetrack but it does have spacers on the rear.[/code]
