    Centre Display and ECU under handbrake cover

    Hi all, I’ve been stripping my car. I’m wondering if I need the centre display on the dash. It displays the outside temp but I can’t remember if it does anything else like warning messages. Think they all come up on the dash clocks don’t they? My stereo is unplugged. Also there is a large...

    Floor Plate

    I have bought a carbon footplate for my Clio 197. Plan is to attach this to the raised box section on the driver side. However I think I will also need to put supports under the 4 corners of the square so that they can take the load of me standing on it - putting weight on it etc... How would...

    Red Battery Connector Unit

    Trying to figure out what this is all about. As standard the battery is connected at the top left. Its fused from the right side and also the starter/alternator on the far right. The 4 power connections to equipment Blue A & B and Green A & B are also fused. It all seems a bit extreme to me...

    Wrong Wheel Boss

    I have been sent the wrong boss by Oreca. It doesn’t fit as the steering column on the 197 has a tapered section. I’ve emailed them but it means waiting for another one to be shipped from France and are they going to want this one back first? Can anyone confirm this is the wrong model number...

    Wheels hitting Arch Liners

    Has anyone else had this? After fitting my new suspension I had the car on track at Knockhill in November. The wheels were making a noise especially through the chicane like the wheel was hitting on the arch. Turns out both front wheels have been hitting the arch liner directly above the...

    Does anyone know why the standard radiator support bracket goes back to meet the subframe but the clio cup racer support bracket does not? If you replace the support bracket with the clio cup racer bracket or chop off the 2 arms going back to meet the subframe what are you missing? (Nothing...

    Arch Rubbing

    I had some arch rubbing on a track day at the weekend. At the time I couldn't see any marks on the tyres to see where it was hitting. Haven't had time yet to look in the arches. Anyone had anything similar?

    Small Holes on Air Intake Pipe

    I noticed the air intake pipe running from the front grill to the airbox hose has some small holes in it. Has anyone covered these up? They will be taking in small amounts of hot air?

    Clio 197/200 Top Mounts Pointless?

    I went to all the effort of getting top mounts for my car but I hadn't fully realised - with the anti rotation link the shock and top mount doesn't really rotate anyway - the hub does. So whats the point in having top mounts? Standard ones will probably do the job.
