    If you have a scorpion please jump in!!

    I'm a little late on this one, but just had my scorpion half-system fitted today on my 197. Looks and sounds awesome! The only problem I did encounter, the clamps that Scorpion provided didn't fit (wrong diameter (how??)) so had to substitute for clamps the right size. Other than that...

    4days of repairs & detailing

    Yea that's right mate, managed to use a luggage hook thing (bungee cord with two hooks on either end) to basically keep the caliper off the car but in the air, meaning it didn't need to be rested anywhere & didn't damage any cables. From there, gave them a good clean & light sand, then a few...

    Silver 200 - M42 (midlands)

    Saw an awesome silver 200 driving towards Tamworth (M42) and then on M6 Anthracite alloys, Red Brembo Calipers & chrome exhaust pipes - might not be exact details, but close enough given my quick look whilst driving!

    Hankook V12

    I can't comment on how good the Hankook v12's are, but can comment on how good my Ventus S1 evo's are...much better than the conti's before. It may be controversial as they are about a 100 each and people may recommend a better tyre for that price, but unless someone can guarantee a better tyre...

    4days of repairs & detailing

    So just wanted to post a few pics of the aftermath which was 4days worth of hard graft. Done quite a lot of work to her and saved a shed load of money compared to taking her to Renault. My technical knowledge has also grown which I'll share as much as possible! List of technical work done...

    Locking wheel nut !!!

    This happened to me last week...opened the box to find no locking nut. Ordered a new one (£22) custom made from a photo, only to find my actual locking nut was wedged under the jack in the boot! You may have already checked, but take a look in that tool compartment thing in the boot before...

    window seals

    I've literally just walked in from the garage after doing this. Exactly what I've just done except used brake cleaner instead of white spirit. Used a knife to get off all the old adhesive crap, peeled the backing off the new ones, stuck on a treat!

    fresh layer of paint for front brake callipers!

    These look awesome! I've been thinking about doing mine, I was going to do them red with anthracite alloys, but this could be a game changer. Never thought about the blue and it looks so good! The only question I have is about the stickers, a really nice touch which I think is necessary IMO...
