I remember shortly after getting mine and thinking the flexis had gone. Turned out it was a crack in the mani, so I bought a second hand mani and drove to Nottingham for it. On the way the mani blew two of the pipes clean off the engine plate, sounded like some sort of V6 with no headers, was...

Service history over mileage tbh. It's pretty well known the cars are pretty dependable when looked after, and the opposite when they're not.

I'm using 20mm bolt on Eibach spacers (might even be selling them before the year is out) front and back with the standard bolts that come with the car and had absolutely no issues. They definitely make the car look how it should imo! Mine has also been dropped 30mm on H&R springs.

I went for the sprint, much prefer the subtle look over the shopping trolley one.

I had just written off a yellow Meg 250 cup, and still owed 6k on it. Was getting a 12k payout (took 3 months to sort the payout so I was window shopping for a new car for a while), so used half to pay off the Meg and I had actually been looking at 197's in red and white around the 4k mark to...

My missus hates the colour as well! :tearsofjoy:

Not sure if this will help, as I have very few pics of the car since done, but here's a before, and then after with the car lowered 30mm on H&R springs, and 20mm Eibach spacers:

While your definitely right it doesn't state that, I would of thought the 'Can be disassembled by heating to 300°C.' means it's pretty heat resistant. :sweatsmile:

Is 272 what you recommend then? Looking through the descriptions 270 seems to be bang on the money: LOCTITE 270 is a high-strength threadlocker for maximum efficacy in the securing and sealing of bolts, nuts and studs to prevent loosening due to vibration. The product serves to permanently...

Doing a bit more digging seems like 270 might be the best option.

I was going to try 243 as that's what my work has, doing a little googling one of the bike forums came back with this: Loctite 221 Threadlocking - Low strength, low viscosity, small threads Threadlocker, Breakaway torque 8.5Nm Loctite 222 Threadlocking - Low strength, general purpose...

I've had mine fitted for a week now and I think they're a great bit of kit, only really used it on 'sport' mode so far. The throttle pickup is great, had to adjust to it as it's a bit more sensitive, but the instant pickup when planting it for the likes of an overtake is really noticeable. The...

If I recall right, he runs 25mm H&R spacers.

Chris has the 30mm H&R springs from what I recall. You can find H&R spacers on Kam Racing.

Does the issue only apply to the Elite kit? I've bought the TPI kit and wondering if I'm gonna have the same issue when I come to get them fitted.

Depends on how much thread you get with them I guess but I don't think they're available for the Clio, if they were, I wouldn't use them as that seems like very little thread in them.

I can agree with where your coming from, guess it depends on who you buy from, being in engineering myself I know what grade of aluminium to look for, and most of the newer types use steel threaded keen inserts for bolting into. I had this issue on my 30mm spacers which were the bolt on type...

Only Eibach do 20mm. You won't find lower of that type. Most companies only do them in 25mm and over.

I think this is all down to personal preference really. I used to run 30mm a side spacers on a MK2 Clio, and I prefer having the bolt on type. Yes your correct in stating you have 10 bolts per wheel, but in my eyes that means more bolts to take the loads on therefore sharing the compression...

Does the TPI stud kit have this issue?
