    4th gear synchro repair cost or upgrade?

    Depending where you are there a few options. Some places can do you a reconditioned box and either fit them or post you them - Rentune, pro-line motorsport, k-tec (there may be others). You’ll then be able to sell your old box or as part of the deal leave your old box with one of these...

    roblee8g Clio X85 Cup

    Well I didn't know that, I thought the Sadev boxes were proper sequential boxes and you only needed the clutch for pulling away in first gear?

    Hello!!

    Welcome along. You’re right there’s lots of useful info and helpful people on here, plenty of things to read up on before you buy one, the buyers guide is a good start. Take your time choosing one to make sure it’s a good one. Good ones tend to stay good if looked after but bad ones will cause...

    If Porsche made a hot hatch

    Welcome along looks like you’ve had a great selection of cars. +1 for the Akra exhaust if you’re interested in one, I’m really pleased with mine. Sensible for normal road use, easily passes track day noise tests and pops and bangs for fun when you’re on it.

    Shuv's Racing Blue 200...................

    Out of those two the Porsche gets my vote too. If you get a Fiesta your essentially just replacing the Clio with something similar but far more common.

    Center Silencer

    I think the centre silencer is part of the whole exhaust assembly so unless you're lucky and can find one somebody has removed you're either looking at a new exhaust or maybe find a local exhaust specialist place and ask if they have or can make something that will fit. If you do find one, it'll...

    Shuv's Racing Blue 200...................

    Shame to see it selling up but I suppose it’s the right decision for you. Hopefully you’ll not regret it over the coming days/weeks. Is the new owner on here? I recognise that LY from either here or one of the Facebook groups.

    Car Pulling to the left

    Have you tried driving on the other side of the road? Does the car pull the other way then? They’re quite sensitive to following road camber. Tyres, pressures all the same? Tread the same depth? Tyres the same brand and model? After them maybe check for worn ball joints, bushes, suspension...

    Anti roll bar link

    I think the standard size is 280, I’m guessing the other size will be for a different Clio. Measure your old ones and see what they are.

    RS 200 cambelt / gearbox recon

    My personal opinion is you’re probably best avoiding this one anyway, unless you can get it cheap, belts should have been done by now and its important they are done. It doesn’t sound like it’s had the most care and attention shown to it and unloved ones of these can be BAD. Take your time and...

    My LY 200

    Had them quite a while now when I first fitted them (and set them up correctly) I had it on H&R springs which were as we all know very bouncy. Taking the pre load off the anti roll bar seemed to settle it down a bit. These also seemed to make turn in sharper, I can remember at first I was having...

    200: Clio 200 advice please

    I can’t comment on the comparison but I’ve used mine with kids seats. It can be a bit difficult to get the seat in and out around the Recaro’s (don’t know about the standard seats) but once they’re in it’s fine. I don’t think you’d be able to get a baby seat in with the baby in it if that’s what...

    My LY 200

    This afternoons been spent doing a little maintenance, brake change on the front and a little clean and check in and around the front arches along with re-protecting the coilovers with more ACF50. Its not something I’m particularly bothered about as long as they’re working as they should but I...
