My new daily, (traded the Clio)... & new daily for the wife... Keeping the Megane...

Ricciardo to Renault for 2019. Woohoo. :)

Here’s pic of the one I fitted to my 200: And the one I fitted to my 275:

I did a lot of weight removal with my 200. From memory best results came from ditching the entire air con system, replacing the Recaros with 1 piece buckets & replacing the battery with an agm type. Other stuff like losing the rear seats & the rear wiper assy & stereo system helped along with...

Best mod you can do to a Clio.

Cup trophy with adjustable Koni dampers & H&R progressive springs & Compbrake top mounts. Had all the adjustable Powerflex bushes too. The Konis were superb.

We have another Renault in the household, the daughter just picked up a new Captur. It’s basically a raised up Clio GT.

Not much of an update but. Key card decals...

Using the Megane in the more competitive higher level events. New roof decal...

Been using the Clio in club level motorkhanas & hillclimbs.

The Jap domestic market STI’ have always had the good 2.0L, it’s only the export markets that get the rubbish (non forged) 2.5L engines, it started back when Subaru entered the US market which is when they really went to crap. They put on 100s of kilos after 99/00 (cg8) & just got worse & worse...

Here’s pics of my 2 RS’ (may help u decide): Black roof (painted), RS front badge (painted), diamond cover... Debadged hatch & diamond covers...

Yes the WRX was absolute rubbish in comparison to the STI. The big issues were that the WRX was 50:50 power distribution thus understeered like a pig whereas the STI was 35:65, the STI gearbox was stronger internally so didn’t break as readily (even the pre 6 speed box), the STI engine had...

Had 3 in the past, the 99 STI V5 coupe was the pick (think you called them the P1 in the UK), they got heavier & heavier after that. Just like Mitsubishis’ EVO 6.5 TME, 1999 was the height of Jap awd ‘bang for buck’ performance cars. My 99 coupe...

Hi, As long as I can rotate front to back I’m happy, I race on plenty of varied tracks so my wear is fairly even. The big difference I found between 888 & 888R is the much quicker heat up time & improved grip. It depends what discipline your doing & how long your pushing on track for. I...

Bonnet pins fitted...

Can’t change size in showroom, can in most other disciplines I do but the 19” speedlines aren’t a heavy rim, I’m doubtful you’d see much of a lap time improvement anyway (much more benefit in going to a wider footprint), the main benefit I see of 18” is the cheaper & bigger selection of semis...

Ready for another season of fun.

New semis for the 275R for the new season. Opted for the newer R888R over last seasons R888 which although good for longer supersprints proved a little too hard a compound for shorter lap dash or hillclimb events. Only downside was having to go from 245/35/19 back to 235/35/19, hopefully the...

Thanks for the kind words guys. This is still easily the best Renault forum online imo. Good info, good cars & good people.
