GET THIS ****IN CAR AWAY FROM ME!

I have lost all passion for it and i just cant stand looking at it now

This is a M reg 1995 Clio 16v in Naples Red.
This has recently been FULLY restored meaning new:

wishbones
cv joints
hubs
wheel bearings
magnex exhaust
all new engine mounts
gearbox mounts
brakes [disc and pads] front n back
suspension [springs n dampers] front n back
drive shaft
all new gaitors for everything
new callipers front n back
engine is brand brand new, it was taken out of a 66k N reg clio due to a rear shunt write off, this was then taken into Nick Hill @ Hill power and everything replaced [dont ask me why] new valves, pistons, gaskets, new inlet, everything which then imo brings this engine back to 000000. Gearbox has only done 58k also

Full leather interior which is mint and has been looked after, colour coded engine bay, no rust on the body at all inc arches and paint work is mint. 15" wolfrace voodoo's [look like 17's but i assure you they are 15's] there practically brand new

bad points are:

Tiny little dent in the very front passengerside of the bonnet on the lip, can barely see it unless pointed out, can fix this for about £50 or even cheaper from my dads business

wheel bearings need replacing in the drivers side wheel [again my dads company will do this cheap, and wheel bearings are not expensive at all]
and both front wheels need balancing, again cheap as chips

may need a ISCV or just a clean, not sure, havent checked inside it

if you spend about £100 on this car it will be 100% mint, but i hate it now and dont want to spend another penny on it as u can see i have already spent loads already!

offers around 2k if possible but iam open to offers, this car is really really nice and due to the rebuild practically brand new

engine has done 3k since rebuild [due to driving up to see the mrs in sunderland] but never got the car past 60 as i didnt want to risk it due to wheels need balancing, so there all easy miles.
I have never ragged the car except when i went to santa pod, and even there it didnt fail to impress

serious offers please
would swap for another valver but cant be no shed [meaning, rusty arches etc]

Cheers

Gav

That's a new technique to me...

i sell leasing, not clios...if it was clios i would quit

there isnt anything wrong with the car except above mentioned, but one gets to the point where they have had enough
ive spent too much money on it and it needs to go

why sell urs for another valver? since u have had all the work done to urs it must be more reliable than another?

Gav
24-03-2006, 22:31
because i have put so much money into it, and now more needs to go into it, and it just isnt what i wanted it to be, i just want another valver than i can get into and drive

this car needs to go to someone who hasnt put any money into it at all and is happy to fix it's problems

im not happy to do that cuz its cost me too much and its beginning to take the piss, its fully restored and it still needs more money

plus its only until i get my yrs ncb then i will go onto something else, for now i need something to last me till then and i will be a valver, just not this one 8)

by then you'll be in love with it again :wink: to be honest unless you go and buy another one thats had an engine rebuild i doubt you'll get one that pulls as well as yours does.

been tryin to get hold you all day gav about ur motor, as u may know im gettin some money through but want a turbo and people r making me sway towards the idea of buying a mint 16v and spending my change on a diy turbo kit.

typical, cant get on here all day, dunno bout anyone else? then when i finally do to ask u about it, u decided to sell then not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dunno wot im gonna do?????

ideally want a mint m/n plate naples valver/hybrid

parents giving me the old this cars gotta las you 3 years b*llox so a complete rehaul wud be good in there eyes. then jus purchase the turbo bits n get somewhere to do it so they do see me rip it apart!! i wont find out till next friday if i got the cash but if i do i will let u all know wot im gonna do?

is there running issues gav???

Gav
24-03-2006, 23:31
apart from the wheel bearings mate nah she runs sweet as a nut

what else u expect from a completly brand new engine :wink:

lewis_willy2
24-03-2006, 23:34
i'll let u know, thinking the 5 gt turbo lump could be hassle?

Gav
24-03-2006, 23:36
easy to tune but least this already runs

up to u mate, am only 30% on selling her as it may be a big mistake on my behalf so keep me informed mate

ash clio gtt
24-03-2006, 23:40
dont do the clio gtt conversion trust me! if you want a gtt engine buy a renault 5 gtt simple as. if you want a turbo clio get a clio 16v and turbo charge the valver lump. speaking from experiance

24-03-2006, 23:42
been saying since i joined i wanted a turbo and for reliability the 16v engine is the way to go plus the money shouldnt b a prob.

Gav
25-03-2006, 00:16
