    Why a clio?

    This. They are cheap enough to abuse and replace parts. An engine is less than £1,000 if it blows. There is something about driving a slow car fast - or in my case a slow car slow.

    Cliofest 2025

    I have always wanted to go but it always seems to fall at the wrong time of year for me with family commitments/holidays etc., etc. Anglesey is a great circuit - even if it does take me longer to get there from Essex than the Nurburgring!

    Various pics of my C3RS "Sport Auto Edition"

    I tried a stubby aerial and found that whilst it looked a lot better than the OEM one it wasn't very good at receiving a radio signal. For some radio stations which had a weaker signal it was not very good at all. The mk4 Clio shark fin aerial fits on to our cars nicely,

    How difficult to change gearbox?

    This will give you a rough ida of what to do.

    197 airbag light

    Have you got any rear seats or rear seat belts installed?

    197 airbag light

    Does your car have bucket seats or different seats installed compared to how it rolled out of the factory? The first error looks like a seatbelt issue and the second error suggests that there is something wrong with the front seats and the ECU cannot find the sensor that it is looking for. You...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I have had some time to look at the video footage of our trip to the Nurburgring now. The car did well, but the hot temperatures did hinder it's performance a little bit. The logs show that when the car was being pushed the intake air temperature was hovering around 50 degrees, the coolant...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    The Nurburgring 2025 trip went really well. We set off on Friday and when we got to the tunnel I realised that I had picked up the Wife's passport instead of mine. Helpfully the Wife drove the passport down to me and we then had an uneventful trip all the way to Nurburg. My two brothers and a...

    My first Clio - LY 197 F1

    Very nice. It looks almost too good to modify.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    My Yaris has auto blip built in to it, but that is intelligent enough to know if you are downshifting regardless of whether or not you touch the brake. After a track day I am sure I will work out if I this any good.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    We have purchased an Auto-Blip. The auto blipper is wired in to the clutch pedal, brake pedal and throttle pedal. When the device gets a positive signal from both the brake pedal and clutch pedal it blips the throttle. So, if the Clio is on track and coming to a corner when the brake pedal is...
