I'll see how the standard discs / pads fare first - they are all in good nick as i saw that with my own eyes yesterday. Fluid - who knows; hence the change. Plus thats cheaper than discs and pads a this stage with alot on the table.... Yea - the strip and cage idea was an all in one combined...

Awesome on real World roads IMO. Slightly stiffer / less body roll than stock. And designed around standard shocks. But fairly supple and not crashy either. Love mine. Can't comment on track...but i suspect they would be to soft for anything semi-serious and people who are doing more than the...

Absolutely Jon. There's no question of revisiting colour. Its fresh and tidy and that's that..... So much to do to car to get ready for track - even on a minor scale isn't there. I've been here with 2 wheeled vehicles; but not with a car before: 1./ Tyres have been refreshed and the tracking...

Sprogs financial contribution so far = £0 Son's 'shoulder to lean on' partnership level so far = zilch His overall interest = none. (And waning....) I think his interest might pick-up when he finds the rev-limiter up the Pod though :tearsofjoy: It's great having another project Ben. I feel...

GOOD MAN Beany ! They look fabulous buddy. Would look even better with some spoiler end plates agreed..... You pleased ? Glad you went that direction in the end ? **Carbon badges with Orange writing. Now that would be the bomb :sunglasses: (Guy on fb doing for £30 a pair i think ?????)

You've been through the mill with the Clio a couple of times havn't you Ben. I'm kind of just behind / with you on that..... :openmouth: Plenty out their will trounce the Clio in lap-times / performance if your cars gonna be mainly a Track / Sunday blat car and that's the main consideration...

Keeping a progress thread going for future reference :smiley: Holiday over and man-time begins today ! Mainly just me being me and 'tidying' a few bits up i didn't like the look of..... :sunglasses: Wheels powder-coated. 4 new tyres fitted, tracking / camber / toe etc adjusted and set. Was...

That’s made my eyes bleed ! Presumably ‘average Joe’ can’t even consider affording / risk having to pay the excess with real hard cash. So; in reality do you have to insure yourself against that eventuality too ?

Absolutely. The whole reason the flexis often fail; is because of the movement put upon them / the engine by the soft original mounts. Fixing the issue (Blowing flexis) and then solving the root cause (soft mounts / bushes) so it doesn’t happen again is logical and sensible.... As Johhny99...

Cheers for the info. I kinda guessed all that - and didn’t think for one minute it was all left to chance by the ‘hirers’. And I’d never looked; but could well imagine the hire prices are reasonably eye watering because of the above. IF you had time and money to burn and this was your hobby...

Brilliant update. Literally ! They look superb. You must be chuffed. I would be. Just the right stance and poke. Nice....

2nd photo is EPIC Jon... Just enough car and lovely backdrop !

So far. Let’s hope they do it right...... Are they fitting a new genuine Renault manifold ? ***The flexis ‘go’ because of the soft standard engine mounts / polybushes allow the engine to move excessively - straining the joints on the manifold. To insure and ensure it doesn’t happen again -...

Welcome aboard ! Great looking car ‘Renault Sport Club - Dubai’ you say. Hmmmm.....a few of us like our travel. When’s your next meeting

I wonder what the upkeep is on this car: that will get thrashed to within an inch of its life nearly every day by a variety of drivers..... I’ve done many trackdays on bikes years ago, and also know the cost (In money and labour) keeping an enduro / off road bike ‘tip-top’. Wonder if it’s as...

Genuine as the watches on Marmaris seafront :tearsofjoy: RPD - Renault Parts Direct (Paul Temperton) would be my choice when buying this stuff....

Wow ! Either that wheel ran for years longer than I thought or you are showing your age ! If you had a set of those on your XR2; you really were a boy about town in my day....

’Ambla’ itself is a trade term for industrial quality / hard-wearing ‘plastic’ seat coverings. For reference....
