I have a 1996 Mk1 Clio and looking to get it a little lower as at the moment it's like a boat when going around corners. I'm just wondering if MK2 Shocks would fit? Also I was wondering if MK2 Springs would fit on Mk1 shocks? I'm not looking at going really low just around 40mm to improve...

What's the best way to fit a kill switch on a Mk1? I was thinking of doing it to the ground of the fuel pump but I'm not 100% on what I'm actually doing. After realising how easy it is to gain access to one of these without the keys I'd prefer to have some extra security in it as it doesn't...

The cambelts gone on my Mk1 d7f 730 and needs a new head or engine. I've found a Cylinder head for sale advertised for the Mk2 D7F. I've contacted the seller and asked if it would fit my MK1 D7F 730 engine and he said it would and he has used one before. I'd just like someone to confirm that...

In need of a new engine for the Mk1. Its a 1.2 (d7f 730). Just wondering what will fit straight in. Thanks in advance.

Driving along at around 30mph and our car has just completely died and wont start back up. It went completely silently (no knocks or bangs etc) and will try and turn over but wont start. We had the AA out and they seem to think the timing chain has gone. I'm pretty sure it's a belt not a...

It's used from around the max mark to just over the min mark on the coolant bottle in around 500 miles. Sometimes there has been a little bit of water from the exhaust but I've only noticed it when the car was cold so thought it may of been condensation. If anyone has any advice on what I...

Will mk2 springs and struts fit on a mk1? Also what springs and struts do people recommend for lowering around 35mm?

Thought I'd post up my other car build incase anyone is interested. I'm just bored and thought I'd do it :). I had a 2003 Volkswagen Bora and absolutely loved the car but I had problem after problem with it. So decided to put it to one side and purchase a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta. 1st thing...

Just wondering if it would make a lot of difference soundwise? It's only a 1.2 so I'm not looking for any performance gains just a bit more of a grunt (nothing OTT) as it sounds so weak at the moment!

Just wondering if anyone knows what the wire pictured below is for. At 1st I thought ABS but the car doesn't have it. Then I thought brake pad sensors but the car is a MK1 1996 and the basic 1.2 model... So doubt it would have it. It's driving me nuts so if anyone knows please let me know :D

I'm after some wheels for the MK1. Ideally I would like some RSI or Williams wheels to keep the OEM look, only thing is though they seem hard to come by. I'm wondering what else will fit? Obviously I need 4x100 with a centre bore of 60.1. Most 4x100s just seem to fit VW polos etc that have a...

Hi sorry, I'm new here and still getting used to the site. I'm wondering anyone could link me to a few MK1 builds/projects etc. Wanting to get some inspiration and fancy a good read :) Tried searching but it didn't bring up much :(

Thought I'd start a build thread up on here. I'm new to the forum and decided to join after getting my girlfriend a MK1 Clio to learn to drive in after realising my car isn't really sensible enough for her to learn in. We've only had it a few days but this is how it arrived. Not had...

Thought I would join up as just got the girlfriend a MK1 Clio to learn to drive in Nothing special, but we plan a few little mods. Nothing OTT as it's her first car and she's learning to drive in it. Thinking a nice set of wheels and a slight drop of say 25-30mm? I myself drive a 2008...
