    Black standard 197

    Grand job with the A-pillars, something I've thought about since I got rid of my old A3 S-line with full black interior, just something a little sleeker about it! Don't know where you are but there's a KTR exhaust on here for a 197 in the classifieds. Get sorted with membership for a fiver and...

    Holidays 2018..............

    Wow that sounds like an epic trip planned for next year. Never been keen on going solo but I think I might grow some balls and get stuck in. Always wanted to get up to Norway/Iceland for the Northern Lights at some point, some of my mates laugh at me and reckon I'm too young to start doing trips...

    OAP Clio 200

    Welcome along fella! As Johnny said, bit different but still a box of tricks, you'll have a lot of fun!! Dephaser isn't as ill-fated as on the Mk2, so as long as the pulley has been done you should be fine. Wheels - City Wheel Refurbishment in Birmingham is a popular and very cheap option...

    New owner 200 Rs Cup from the Netherlands

    Brilliant looking 200 Rick. How do you get on with the DSG on the R32?? I've thought about one for a few years but always been put off by people saying the DSG isn't great! What's the potential on a remap without turbocharging? I'd want to keep it N/A..

    Nicole ? Papa ! - Clio 197 F1

    Sounds like a really good day organised by Kev and Will. Was hoping to get up there but crazy busy at work so it was always going to be a last minute impulse decision. Glad you had a fun time, Snetterton 22nd July??

    Big Bens non Clio

    Is that the infamous stretch of water that @///M secretly hates you for taking his Lotus through there?? Car is looking great, seems like we're both on the same wavelength on spending money right now (ahem stop tagging me in bloody good RPD deals ;) ) I think Snetterton is definitely this...

    Brakes question

    Second this Rick. I've had a few passenger laps with people running DS2500 but the DS1.11 are a level above for track!! Get some pictures up of yours :smile:

    Ultra Red 200 Cup FF

    Eddie, these guys did my calipers in Gloss Black. Website has changed a bit but they used to offer three different levels of service depending on how much you wanted to spend, might be worth giving them a buzz, they're a really decent pair of guys. I reckon bronze with red decals would look...

    Which caliper pins?

    The Mr Pink ones are spot on. Obviously you pay more but I think it'll make life a lot easier in the long run. If you go for the Mintex ones, I wouldn't want to leave them in at one time for more than 4-5 months before getting them out or they may seize.

    To buy a Quaife or not

    Cheers John that would be great. If I had the money before Spa when I had the recon'd box fitted I would have, spoke in depth with Rich from Rentune but it would have completely broke me at the time. He's told me he'll fit it for £100 if I get the box out so not bad at all, plus he'll check the...

    To buy a Quaife or not

    I really need to come out with you John and see what it's like first hand. Was meant to say at Spa but completely forgot, yours is the most like-for-like in terms of spec so would give me a real good idea. Just realised, £735 for a Quaife. Not half as bad as I thought.

    Cleaning/Polishing Decals on the Clio R27

    Rate Tough Coat for the whole car? Discontinuing very soon so 30% off on final stock! Tempted to get some but at the same time if I like it I'll be gutted I didn't go for it sooner!!

    Yup. After not having the Clio on the road for nearly two weeks, I nearly threw up when I got to Tesco the other night...135.9 for Momentum.

    Hey

    Yeah the amount of looks I get from people who’ve never seen one before is unreal! Great fun giving it a blip so the exhaust bangs and watching the heads turn too!!!
