Oh you do know how to put me in a predicament @Big Ben....

Listed for sale. Planning on a new turbo toy for 2019, you interested? Just been MOT’d and serviced, clean bill of health ;) I’m back down 1st and 2nd of Sep if you were interested I’m sure we could sort something..... PM me! I’ll give you the full story! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a thing! Flew through, no advisories.

Pre-sale MOT and service! :(

It is! You there now?? I’ll be there with Rupes in half an hour! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bit of saving to do for sure. I rushed into buying a 197 being young and naive, won’t be making the same mistake this time round! Cost me a fair bit of money but all part of the joys of French hot hatches... Hit the nail on the head. 6 months will go quick, I hope.......

You know me Pav, I'll have a 200 eventually, that was why I bought the R200 number plate! Just need a bit of time away from it to get my head sorted with my new role etc...Meg 250/265 first, played on my mind for a while so it's got to happen! Then a nice 200 track slag maybe! If I could...

250/265 is the plan next I think! Devastated but the Clio is too track focused to be a daily round Birmingham, back breaking stuff. Waste of a car too, would have liked to get up to Donny before it went but I’d rather not risk it and stack it! I’ll be at Donny in whatever heap I buy for bridging...

Welcome along mate, gold membership is well worth it! Get some pics up. :thumb:

Bad news...in a sense. Tentatively offered up the Clio for sale over the last week or so, got some serious interest in it now so it might well be on the way....plate is coming off this week...:disrelieved: clears the driveway for something bigger, better and faster after Christmas...

You won't go faster for less money. Serious bit of fun.

@Jimmy

Another non-car update! I've been completely AWOL for the last few weeks so thought I best show my face whilst I have a spare minute. I should be packing right now but I'm procrastinating like mad. Deposit is down on a house share and I move in tomorrow, really close to my depot I'll be working...

I honestly couldn’t comment on comfort etc of B14s, @Pav runs them as do several others, really popular setup for these it seems. I’m running Gaz Golds which are adjustable but I’ll be the first to say that they aren’t really road suited. Absolutely insane on track though.

Training Scheme! Will message you the details, not making it too public until it’s all signed and done! As long as it’s safe, I’m not overly bothered inside or out! If it’s reasonably local then I’ll probably have it out at weekends for a play anyway!

Couldn’t tell you, never had a heat shield on mine. It’ll be tight but you might be lucky. Have you sourced one already? The guy from Rotterdam still has his Bosch one I think, brand new. Nearly bought it myself but was in a rush.

Eibach Springs and Cup shocks will do you fine. However...buying the whole lot, you might be better off spending a little extra and getting Bilstein B14 coilovers. Gives you a bit more freedom plus all 4 corners are done and fresh then!

No idea right now to be honest! Looking at house shares at the moment but nothing set in stone until the contract comes through, I could be based in any of ten depots, from Wolverhampton across to Coventry. At college too in Birmingham so need to find somewhere reasonably central to both.

If you can get it off the ground, directly underneath is your best bet. If not, driver’s side wheel off and in through there, you will scratch your hands up and it is tight but it’s doable. You’ll struggle to get the heat shield on and off with the manifold in place so just keep that in mind...

Normally between 2.5-3k. But I remember reading Ktec have put a lot of time into this 3rd gen manifold to rule out flat spots.
