    Big Bens non Clio

    I Can't believe you've sold this. New owner has got a bargain, I think you should've added another £1k to the price but at least you got a quick sale. Hope you find a decent replacement.

    Cup vs Non cup?

    No difference in the chassis itself.

    Cup vs Non cup?

    Cup or non cup is irrelevant really. Suspension can be changed easily. I have a 197 cup on h&r springs used it as a daily with the family no problems. Now i have kw v1's and adjustable top mounts to go on. Just buy the Car you want. You'll end up changing it to suit you anyway.

    Purchasing a meglio

    Strange as I went from a vw Touran to my Meglio. But I did insure it as a second car to start with?

    My Meglio at 304bhp and all mods declared was £369 from memory but I'm a lot older than you. That was with greenlight.

    Mark's Nimbus 197 T Cup

    Been a while since I updated this. In short had a core plug pop out on it not long after the build but didn't realise at the time.‍♂️ Got it back up and running but it seemed to get a slight misfire when warm so checked it out and the Head gasket had gone! So replaced the gasket, had the Head...

    Looking Good as always Ben. Not touched mine yet. Bought a Clio head for it though and a new Reg no. Just to much to do at the moment.

    197 Cup F4RT track car

    Can I ask how much the brackets were? So are you going for the new shafts too? As the new ee brackets make the shafts 25mm too short. Meg engine will have different ones to what rentune supply.

    197 Cup F4RT track car

    Mike Sargent on Facebook is running meg and going cup racer subframe, I believe that one of the clio shafts will work as it's longer. Not sure if he changed the inner joint? But he got the other one lengthened. I'd have had one made personally.

    197 Cup F4RT track car

    From memory, you only need to replace one plug, the one for the fan relay and starter cable can actually be completely removed from the clio loom and put into the megane loom. Removing the same wiring from the megane loom. I believe you can remove the canister in the pic but I just ran the...

    197 Cup F4RT track car

    There is a guide for all the wiring on this forum. Not that you need it now. It is based on a ph2 loom and it doesn't keep the fan relay which is needed but it was good enough for me.

    18yr old Twingo RS 133 or similar insurance ??? Where do you guys go ?

    Must admit it was a bargain, full service history, belts done a couple of years ago. Does have a synchro issue but for what he paid it saved him a couple of grand. His cheapest quote do far was admiral I think.
