    Which head unit?

    So I am still in 2 minds as to fitting the carbon blank for the radio or not, it looks cool and I hardly ever listen to the radio.......but I can't shake the feeling that I think there are times when it would be really good to still have a stereo. As I plan to actually do a lot of track days...

    Random plug behind stereo...?

    I seem to have a random plug pretty much behind where the stereo sits, I assume it's used by a feature I don't have (satnav, bluetooth, cd changer) - but as I've had a lot of the dash apart wiring the gauges, I want to just make sure I've not disconnected anything. Cheers

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    Just wondering if anyone is using any of the genuine competition Renaultsport stuff, and how much we can use assuming stock subframe and steering rack are retained? I don't want to change one thing only to then discover to make it work actually requires a bunch of other bits :( I'm not...

    Bulkhead grommet - extra cables

    So I've done loads of searching but can't quite figure out a definitive answer on this. Most people use the large grommet under the glove box to feed a sub wire through - what's not clear though is if people are feeding it through the centre of the grommet, or what seems to be suggested a lot...

    Clios at Goodwood

    Clio's were as common as muck today! RB 200, White 200, my LY 200 and on the way (though didn't see it on the grounds) a Black 197 with red diffuser.

    Wheel barely fits over hub

    On the front/drivers side - my old 200 cup wheel, on and off fine. My new 200 cup wheel, required some pretty hefty force to get on. I tried both of my new ones which had the new tyres for the front and they were both the same - tight. Yet....those 2 new ones fit the passenger side fine...

    Centre caps - colours and options?

    Need some advice on centre caps please. I've just had a set of 200 Cup wheels refurbed in Satin Black, the centre caps that where with those wheels had been painted about 4 times prior and have seen better days. I'm pretty sure I've seen some Gloss Black caps with an R.S logo - these would go...

    PC gaming specs?

    Anyone into gaming? Trying to spec a build but it's got a bit too expensive or I'm just being cheap? Currently thinking... CPU: E3-1231v3 (£200) GPU: Asus R9 290? or a EVGA SSC GTX 960 to save cash (£230 or £170) SSD: Existing 840 Pro 256GB or buy a new 850 Pro 256GB (£0 or £115) RAM: 8GB or...

    Carbon Cup Racer spoiler

    Just thought I'd post this up after seeing a post on Facebook about Spray Shack doing a carbon dipped spoiler at £430 supplied!!! Now I've been aware of full carbon spoilers for ages, but having done a quick search here I don't think anyone knows that you can get them! and for only €340 (~£245...

    Removing inlet manifold / head port sizes??

    How easy is it to remove the inlet manifold? I only need to have a quick glimpse of how the gasket sits over the ports i.e what the size difference is? Ideally I'd want enough room to maybe take a template of the port sizes/take a picture. I am having the inlet manifold ported and need to...

    Front brake clips

    Do the front clips ever really need replacing? I kinda want the R-clip pins (Mr Pink style ones) but they don't come with clips. Cheers

    Wheel bearing

    Does anyone know what the OE brand of wheel bearings are? I've got a whistling noise which is only when warm and quite intermittent. Not engine revs dependent as it still does it if you dip the clutch. Brake though or put some steering angle in and the noise stops, sound like bearing(s)...

    V6 airbox - correct orientation?

    Guys, which way round is the 'right' way to fit them? By 'right' I'm referring to the way the Cup Racers and R3 Maxi (230cv) cars fit them - assuming they know best. I think it's with the intake hole behind the headlight?? Googling V6 airbox's seems to bring up a picture with it fitted...

    DBW compression test?

    Quick question, anyone know if you need to do anything different on a DBW car to comp test it? Short story is all 4 pistons removed from car and all 4 pistons fine, rings, ring lands the lot. So need to look at valve seating as that could explain it, Or, DBW cars need something 'special' doing...

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Thought I would start a project thread for my car now it's had a bit done to it and having a hell of a lot more over the next 2 weeks. As I'm already paying for web hosting for something else I thought I'd just register a domain name and piggy back of the hosting :smile: www.cliorsr.uk Just...

    Check emissions light (which code reader too?)

    My CEL came on yesterday, do they go off on their own or will I need a reader? Also anyone got any recommendations for what reader to buy? I've got a 200cpsi sports cat so wasn't expecting it to come on, but then equally given how **** my car runs and the fact the engine is on it's dying last...
