Thanks - I did have spacers on before and they weren’t massively worse - just seemed to dial down the ‘feel’ on the dead ahead - and obviously didn’t want the added weight. Car has changed so much recently with lowering / h&r springs / full bushes it would be hard for me to compare to back...

Ahh sorry just been looking at some more detailed information on what the different alloy options mean in terms of distance to the suspension hub Comparing the oz ultraleggera 17” and 8” wide with et 55 and the speedline turrini at 17”and 7” wide with et 42 - distance they stick out is very...

Thanks for that. Thanks for confirming you can still go 215. Contact patch will be pretty much the same then. Thanks again

Did you notice any significant reduction in overall grip with the narrower width? They will be my track wheels so will have direzza on so would assume that would compensate for the reduction in width

That’s great to know thank you;)

I’m back with more offset questions. Has anyone any experience with the speed line turini and how it’s affected handling? Assume as most really want the look and lightness of some nee wheels, but don’t inadvertently want to wreck the delicate balance the clio has I’m currently stuck between oz...

Okay... wheel debate again I’m currently stuck between oz ultraleggera 17 with 8” with Or recently just seen the speed line turini at ap which are 17 x 7 with an offset of et41 Ultra are 0.5 lighter per wheel so no major decision based on weight I am planning on coilovers with a drop of 40...

The modding has started ! So far - akra exhaust - fully polybushed - rs steering wheel - removed rear seats - harnesses - itg intake with cold air feed - lightweight battery - nesynchros / bearings etc - lowering seat bracket for recaro Next on the list is some oz ultraleggera For...

Where have people mounted the end of the flexible hose on their maxogens? It seems to just hang behind the light cluster with no means to attach it?

Yeah there is no comparison for me. It’s one of the things that put me off my 250 and civic type r fk8. They didn’t have so much as engines as ‘power plants’. Bereft of character As long as there isn’t significant extra running costs versus a meglio I think I’ll definitely go supercharger. In...

Thanks for reply When you say it’s expensive - do you mean in terms of maintaining it, or initial cost , or both!! Haha Desperately want to supercharge rather than turbo just want to have my eyes open going in. Do you know the weight of the charger by chance? Does it make much difference to...

Hi great build and a real inspiration for someone that is looking to supercharge also. Is it running std cams? Is there any advice for someone looking to go down the same route? (Ie Stop now! Get a meglio or do it!!) Hearing your car is the main reason I want to do it!! Thanks in advance

Could anyone that has had a supercharger long term comment on the long term health? Im constantly dithering as to whether to get a supercharger / Megane engine / or just swap back to a Megane 250 My ideal would be a charged clio as I prefer the small size, less stable chassis, and the na...

Am I being an idiot - looks like it’s only available for the gen 2?

Thanks for the info on the pure motorsport shifter. I was about to get a zero point one shifter but I think I’ll wait for this.
