    197 Albi Blue Track car

    Yeah the V6 box will be great with a map. Great work on the club discount, that would be amazing (as I love Brentacre). Yeah that was told to me, but they know I am not your typical boy racer or chav, but yeah I guess it's the underwriters who had them by the balls.

    Pearl white Rs200 1 of 17 recaros black roof

    Yeah mainland europe has always been higher due to the fact LHD cars can be easily moved between countries and fit in fine, yet RHD cars UK have people in Mainland europe do not want (for obvious reasons), so Japan, India, Australia etc are the only countries, but they're so far away, the...

    197 Albi Blue Track car

    Looks great, @RSRowe is Mr Duct3d, that'll be great to feed the V6 box. Off-topic, but I take it you work for Brentacre? I been with them like 9-10 years now (shame they couldn't insure my E36 trackcar, "as you've not had a RWD car in the last year we cannot insure you" even though in the last...

    Do you know the previous owner?

    He meant the facebook pages, some examples: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1781255685464253 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1484501948492837/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/ClioSportOC It'll be easier to find out who did the cambelt as we don't know where the car is / where you are, there...

    Do you know the previous owner?

    As DS said, it came with a fake leather covered one, but RS knobs were bought (again I am not sure if it was optional from factory or if it was bought from dealers afterwards). I would want to check who did the cambelt (as many normal garages try to do them and mess up timing), I would check...

    Do you know the previous owner?

    It also has a Sprint Spoiler, wind deflectors and what looks like an RS Gearknob (there were replicas, but it looks genuine).

    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    Ok yes some cars are unsalvageable, it's funny as I've had BMWs and they're some of the most plagued cars but have a massive following. When we went to get my mates 350z 7years ago, the list of major things to check...3...my E36 was like those film scrolls haha.

    Also just realised I have had the car 5 years today! I bought it on 68,000 miles....It is now on 134,500miles, that is just shy of 67,000miles I have done in it lol! It would have been way more if we didn't have the pandemic (and WFH). Everyone warned me "French cars are so unreliable" this...

    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    I finally managed to get alignment done (I have done 12 miles since I changed bits lmao) but it was off.

    197 Front Damper Hub Bolt - No Nut *Rolls eyes*

    It could alleviate some of the force acting down the hub / strut, so worth a go, but I did my method above and after some hammer time on the thread, it come out. A good flat head punch helps too.

    New owner alert, 200 supercharged

    Gripper isn't an ATB diff, it's a multi-plate LSD mate (way more expensive and customisable over an ATB). Also lovely car, I remember seeing this being built on here.
