How do you manage to stay *on* the seat?
Put one of those CG locks on the seatbelt and it will probably help a lot.

I'm hoping the bigger wheels denote bigger brakes!

The spec is as follows:

Brakes

Front: Williams discs and callipers,
Rear: Standard drum brakes.
And now you know why the driver's seat is that lovely shade of brown...silly

The brakes do there job fine. The rear are drums but then they are only responsible for 10% of the braking.

The interior is grubby as it was used as a storage shed for four years before I got my hands on it as a standard car in need of a new engine.

Brilliant sleeper! Any problems fitting the engine or is it basically a bolt in conversion? Must be quite slidy in those seats but some sparcos would ruin the illusion biggrin
The conversion was a straight swap plug and play. The inner skin of the bonnet has been cut to clear the inlet manifold.

She is currently running the full standard interior as this is how I wanted it to look on the club stand at the French Car Show. Previous to that the interior was stripped with a clio 16v seat.





Also an older picture I like.

Pah, I think we are all fans of clio's. Just that we believe Tin Worm usually gets the better of them...Well, it did with mine frown

Still would buy another valver though thumbup

YES! Love it! A friend of mine did this with a more sleeperish clio than that, but then he got it all minted. I thought it was better as a mega sleeper!

Completely and utterly brilliant. My first car was a MK1 Clio (albeit with the standard 1.2!), so this is doubly fantastic to me biggrin

Great work!
