Kpas Posted 12, April 2021 Report Share Posted 12, April 2021 Howdy All, I'm the proud new owner of a Gordini Clio 3 rs200. It was the one from South Aus that was advertised on FB marketplace. It needs a few bits and pieces. I've already sorted the dead wipers (seized mechanism), and its booked in for timing belt this week. Apart from that I know I'll be needing to do engine mounts, front strut top mounts and probably 100 other bits and pieces I find along the way. It's my first foray into Renault cars, but not Renault engines. I'm almost finished with a COVID project that's powered by a Renault 16 engine which I enjoyed rebuilding...... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple3337 Posted 12, April 2021 Report Share Posted 12, April 2021 Nice one. Bring it along this Sunday! The first ever Clio 3 only day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpas Posted 12, April 2021 Author Report Share Posted 12, April 2021 Ah bummer, I doubt I'll have it ready in time. The list of stuff to fix is sadly pretty long, and spare time is short. If I can get the basics sorted I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 13, April 2021 Report Share Posted 13, April 2021 You're not alone in having an R16 powered vehicle here although yours is probably a lot more fun than mine is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been amazed at how simple and cleverly designed the engines are. I've played with other 70s engines in the past and they're way heavier, larger and more complex for not much benefit. Now the important question, what's your engine in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
