    North East wheel alignment- geo setup

    Can anyone recommend a garage in the north east who could do a proper setup on my Clio 200? It’ll be fitted with coilovers soon that have adjustable top mounts and I’d like to get the most out of them once fitted. Ta

    Maidens1979 Clio 200 - clubsport build

    Had some time to have a look under the rear arches. Found a few little rust patches and some rust under areas of seam seal. Cut the bad seam seal away and removed any loose rust and paint. Used some red oxide paint over these areas, doesn’t look nice but will protect these areas. The offside...

    Couple of pics of the Clio at the recent Croft track day. Overall I was very happy with how the car felt, the brakes especially with the mintex 1144 pads and rbf 600 fluid. Only issue I had was the near side front damper, fluid is leaking from it and it started to make a knocking sound. Need to...

    I’ve got a harness to go in, but I’m not sure I’ll go down the cage route though.

    Keep at it mate. I bought one last December and it wasn't far of the same condition as yours, Although mine did have a bent rear axle :( Four months later of hard work and visits to garage I finally feel like its now presentable.

    Maidens1979 Clio 200 - clubsport build

    Yeah I kind of like the no horn look but an RS one in yellow could look good. The seats are comfy but a tight fit. Not sure how they compare to others as I’ve not sat in anything else. The main issue I’m having at the moment is getting the seats at the angle and distance from the steering wheel...

    Motamec steering wheel and Volantech boss fitted which keeps the indicator canceling action. Also remembered I'd bought some RS mats and got them in. Not sure if I should have the Motamec horn button in or not?

    Hi Thought I’d post a few pics on my Clio 200 progress. Trying to get the car setup for track day use. Removed the rear seats and fitted a baf motorsport brace, added some carpet to finish it of. Today I got around to fitting my M2 gtr seats on pure track direct side mounts. I’ve also got a...

    How to check the status of BELT

    I'd guess you'd have to take the cover of, or maybe there's an inspection panel. I took mine to a specialist for a health check when I bought mine as I was in the same boat.

    Under Front Bumper Cover Under Tray 197

    This info might not be useful to you anymore but the answer is no they aren’t the same. I bought a 197 one for my 200, the middle part fits to the bumper ok but the left and right parts don’t.

    K20 my Clio

    Yeah I also owned a 2004 EP3 and as you say it just washed out. But the FN2 that got and can still get slated is much better, but hey it has a fixed rear beam and that will never work will it :)
