    MS 200 fun road and track car - and other car stuff!

    Lots of car stuff going on as usual, my partner has recently returned from Spain so we needed two cars again. With the Clio ticking the practical box we were quite free in terms of choice, though with a house move planned next year wanted to avoid any finance. I was looking for a e86 Z4 Coupe...

    Clio 200 cup chassis vs coilovers?

    Will do... :grinning: Much less so than adjustable ride height IMO, and certainly more beneficial on these cars, where I'm sure most would be grateful of the ability to soften things off for normal road use and our bumpier B roads.

    Clio 200 cup chassis vs coilovers?

    As an alternative I'm about the try the Koni Sport kit comprising Koni adjustable shocks and H&R springs. For the vast majority I think the adjustable damping is a more valuable feature than the adjustable ride height of a coilover, I'm sure most don't corner weight their cars for fast road and...

    Ready to order suspension, hoping someone can confirm compatibility..

    I think these will fit my car... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292017622457 Can anyone confirm whether I'm right or not? The listing says non-cup but I don't think there's anything different about the Cup suspension that would cause an issue. My car is an 09 200 with Cup suspension and the...

    Ooh thanks Gents, sounds much more positive! Hopefully the Compbrake mounts help with your later car @Timbo More hairdressing stuff, but I did my first trackday in the MX2000 since it's been supercharged yesterday. I'm popping a video together but it was just sensational!! Feels...

    Not good, need to find out how Steve got around this. Would Compbrake top mounts help?

    Uh oh! I have Cup suspension too... Any ideas which bits cause the compatibility issues?

    Those are the ones I fancy, the Sport yellow adjustable shocks sold as a kit with the H&R paired springs. I have always been very impressed with Koni dampers and although they 'only' use twin-tube technology, having owned both previously, I would choose them over the mono-tube Bilsteins.

    The Clio is fighting fit again with a new o2 sensor fitted! :grimacing: I've been dangerously close to ordering a set of Koni shocks and H&R springs on a few ocassions now... I fear it's only a matter of time! :tearsofjoy:

    Back in the UK now and Clio is still unhappy. Have plugged it into a reader and fault codes are P0130 and P0135 which points towards one of the O2 sensors. So hopefully a simple fix and back to full health. :grinning: Short vid to share of a couple of quicker laps at Cadwell... I actually...

    Used the mk2 MX5 (The Avacado) at Blyton, it has a hot start issue so we can't turn it off apart from lunch! It was 30*c at times and the old nail performed faultlessly, hammering around all day, water temp never budging from the mid-point, and embarrassing lots of quicker stuff as usual...

    MS 200 fun road and track car - and other car stuff!

    I've heard very good things about the MRFs Peter, I've used most other semis but on other cars so it might be tricky to be truly definitive about them on the Clio. I'm doing Blyton tomorrow but planning on using the mk2 MX5 instead, so not sure when the next Clio outing will be. I'd really like...
