He has it on eBay and it's in my watch list. Nothing will happen until payday anyway unless he'll take £500 for it :tearsofjoy:

Snetterton never happened for the 197... It's older softer brother (the 172) took its place. Today is a sad day... RIP Clio. The engine is clattering away. The future remains uncertain but the present is that it may go off to my in laws farm for storage until I can source an engine. There's...

With the 197 throwing a tantrum, the shedtastic 172 was pulled in for track duties at Snetterton on Tuesday. Oh boy... The Accelera Phi-R budget tyres held on surprisingly well. The brakes were very upset about the whole situation though, starting the day with boiled fluid, then having to...

After a week or so of not driving the car, I had to get the car back on the road as I miss flinging it around, so I ordered a set of Eibach Sportline springs to replace the broken one. Once I'd stripped the strut down I watched as the chrome rod dropped from full extension to fully compressed by...

So did the decision to move on from the Quaife come around the same time that you started running slicks?

Spent a few hours on the blue turd last night and this morning and found exactly what I'd expected. Lots of shite. As you can see the NSR caliper hasn't actually ben doing anything. I'm pretty certain this car had a Bluetooth MOT... New caliper, disc and pad fitted, it finally had something...

When my MRFs turned to plastic I found they just wouldn't warm up properly and felt awful. Which is why they're stacked in the garden waiting for someone to collect for drift tyres :tearsofjoy: However, something like 15 track days will do that to a set of rubber...

Done very little with the blue turd lately. Other than replacing an upper gearbox and upper engine mount, I've just been daily driving it and enjoying it. Wes was bugging me tonight to go for a blast, partly because he got the Golf back on the road but mainly so he could drive the little 172...

Forgot the car was black if I'm honest... It's been so gross and dirty the past few months I was wondering if it was actually a shade of brown! PMS aircon pulley works a treat, easy enough to fit too. Longevity remains to be seen! Hoping to be doing Snetterton next month depending on work...

They did, we dropped the car off last year in June before Matt decided to close up

Well we're planning to go over on the 1st. Matt has been told this is the plan but he's been making excuses about the work not being done. It's a shame because the original Supreme cars he built were mega and done in a reasonable time. I understand things do go wrong but on June 1st that will...

Shiny. Also made sure my mates Clio will actually fit in his garage when we eventually get it back from Supreme. It's only been a year...:unamused:

I was watching the live timing on TSL and listening to the commentary. I love that an F4R engined Clio spanked a pair of K swapped Clios with aero... Nicely done mate!

I rated them in mine, no real noise either with Brembo HC discs. Worth a go for the price for sure, I don't run any brake cooling on track and I never felt they were getting too hot and fading. Big upgrade over PBS Pro Race, CL RC6 are slightly better IMO but it's early days yet for the RC6's...

Had a bit of time on the 172 this afternoon, cleaned the inside again as I missed a few bits last time. Previous owner had used baking soda and vinegar to clean a few bits and I realised there was loads still in the carpet to get rid of. Decided to break the polishing compounds out too...

Big licks in the big rig. Bet those tyres were fun :grin:

Feeling that was an attack on my personality there Nathe :tearsofjoy:

Don't judge me... This car was an absolute bargain and I can't turn those down. It all began with the usual casual browsing on Facebook marketplace of a Friday evening. I saw this listed for £900 down from £1700, figured it was a shed and I love a shed. Sent a message expecting to get told to...

Got around to fitting a new battery and the car fired into life with no issues at all. A few weekends ago I got around to fitting the replacement cat and get a part number off the springs. Once the car was in the air I could see the bodgery that's happened to put the underbody protection plates...

Looks good when it's clean! Watching the onboards from Tom's E46 shows how planted the Meg is, really does look to be the full package.
