Damn I gave the paddock a quick walk after it happened but never saw you, ah well I've been tempted to buy a clip or one of the specific diagnostic tools for Renaults anyways. I'll have to have a look at the top mounts, it's a 2010 car so I think it could be either, I'll check when I'm down in...

Did the first trackday in the new Clio over the weekend. Wasn't the smoothest of sailings but it was a good shakedown. Went out for a test lap in the morning after the usual checks, was about halfway through the lap and my driver's door swung wide open, not an ideal thing to happen! After...

Mines been the same for years too, I currently have a regulator out of a 1.9tdi golf in it. Been working fine for years. As far as I know, it's a "smart charging" system. Usually takes about 20 minutes for the fault to appear on my dash but anytime I checked it voltage was fine and no issues so...

Yeah do! It's meant to be a very hot day but I'll be there all day!

Even though I agree I feel there's a slight bias here

Did a few bits to the Clio over the weekend. We had a couple of friends down at the shed giving us a hand as the other Clio there was also getting a few bits done. I needed to install some eyebolts for the 6 point harnesses, why you'd not do this along with the rest of them in the first place...

Anytime I've taken them off I've set them to 170, it's extremely tight for sure! They are also an absolute pain in the ass to get out sometimes

If you have a helicoil kit that also solves the problem and is relatively easy do, done mine a few years ago and haven't had issues since!

Yeah I guess it can be hard to pin down! The trackdays ye do usually have a good elevation changes so maybe that could be a factor too? Anyways it's something we'll all be adding to our checklists every other trackday then!

That's nuts! Have ye any idea what might be the contributing factor to it?

So will I I've only drove it around the shed so I can't really make a comparison yet at all. I reckon the PMS is far more satisfying though just because it's rods and not cables

I've bought another Clio Went over and picked up this the other day. It's a cup 200. Well as far as I'm aware it's a cup, it's got a normal key and barrel ignition. Spec is as follows: 58k Miles, Full weld in cage and sprayed, bc coilovers, ebc RPX front pads, PBS rears, 3d printed brake...

Yeah I thought that was him alright! Ah nice yeah he was saying someone had bought/was looking alright. Good to see another one then down at mondello soon enough! I'll be keeping my eye out for a full race spec one but nice ones don't pop up too often, I'll happily use mine until then.

Best of luck with it! There's tonnes of threads on here and info for basically everything you'll need! On a side note, is this in ireland? I think I recognize the recovery truck logo but it's a bit blurry

Did some work recently to the Clio after knockhill. Just an oil service, bolt check over and changed the front pads. I got my money's worth from the EBC RP-X pads I think New pads put in and gave the pins a quick clean down to make it easy for the next time. The only thing I noticed worn was...
