    lowering recaro position seat

    Having sat in both a meg and clio the meg driving position is much better compared to the clio's. I have fixed buckets in my 200 and the driving position improves the car massively as you are actually sat in it. The standard renault seats make great armchairs too (yes they are in my living...

    AP Brakes discs for OEM calipers?

    IMHO an awful waste of money for a road car. Invest in a better set of pads on standard discs and these brakes are more than adequate for anything you'll do on road, and on track TBH.

    Rocas's Flame Red 220T (goodbye 201)

    That looks like absolutely epic fun. Did think that red van was going to spring out and take you out though! Can't see that type of event happening over here unfortunately.

    Clio 200 what's it worth?

    Sorry for the boring what's it worth thread but thinking about selling up and haven't kept an eye out on prices that these are selling at now. Car is a black 200 on a 59 plate. Standard seats. Nearly 41k miles. FSH but due a cambelt. 3 owners. Mechanically spot on but has a scrape on one...

    A good garage for clio 197's near Tamworth/Birmingham

    Doesn't sound like you necessarily need a specialist for those jobs. re specialists a lot of people will recommend Fred at BTM. Work is great but in my experience he is a little chaotic and if you are busy and need to rely on things getting done when they have been booked in then he's not...

    Tracking Out

    p.s. did they pull the old 'new tyres therefore needs tracking' BS or did you actually need an alignment?

    Tracking Out

    tracking vs full alignment did you actually get a 4 wheel alignment i.e. comes with print out of readings for all four corners. or did they 'track it' i.e. align front wheels to rear? an alignment is not an alignment etc.

    Tyre pressures

    Prepare to do short stints. They'll go off in no time, especially in warm weather.

    200: Clio Gone

    Lovely collection mate. If the cargo net fits across the boot floor (I have no back seats) I'll take it for suitable amount of beer tokens. In brum so not far from you and would certainly like a nosey at the remainder of your collection! PM me if you like.

    So where to order new breaks and pads from??

    agree BUT those brembo pads are good pads - before I got some carbotech xp8s I did track days and road driving with these and they held up fine. In this case I wouldn't pay £100 for a renault OE stamped part as I don't believe the quality or performance is better. the XP8s are a world apart...

    @ Fernandez - who is providing the fitting and alignment mate? Interested as sure my rear bottom arm bushes are shagged. p.s. Can you do a deal for bottom arm, arb bushes, and engine mounts fitted?

    200T in LY

    That is a stonkingly good part ex offer. Probably reflects the true leeway in the sticker price. £17k for a clio is a lot regardless.

    No more subway :(

    Good questions. With hindsight following the aftermath it may be difficult to spot the logic BUT surely it is (or was) an attempt to extend market and revenue. What's laughable about the pervading interpretation here and elsewhere is that somehow a mulitinational like subway had a seemingly...

    200 or 200T?

    How much for the trophy (wink)? I can only see a couple of black ones for sale ATM and they are not silly deals.
