Thanks for the tip, from taking a look at the rear pads they are rusted so look to not be sliding free, i have greased them but still no good. Should have the new discs and pads coming in from ktec soon so will just do a swap out.

MOT time yesterday! It was a fail (as expected) but I wanted to get a gauge on what was needed before I decide wether to shift it on or not. Fail was due to a rear calliper binding, which I believe is due to the rear pads rusting. Other advisories were on rear tires and low rear pads. So I’ve...

Hi All, Purchased a few shots from the onsite photographer, weather was really sweet all day and the car was looking ace. Had a really fun day! MS1_0011 by Alexander Dunlop, on Flickr MS1_0098 by Alexander Dunlop, on Flickr MS1_1927 by Alexander Dunlop, on Flickr MS1_3677 by Alexander...

That’s the thing, I think I could be a lot faster with more power. Also clios really struggle to overtake stuff on straights!

Well this is the dilemma i'm in! I'm at the point now where some semi slicks, coil overs and a cage would be needed. Or do i just trade up and go for a R26 Megane!

Massive Rottweiler should do it.

Well due an update! Having relocated in the last 6 weeks its been pretty hectic, good news is that the 197 has been soldiering on. Mrs has been using it as a daily for 4 weeks and apart from kerbing a wheel :neutral: she's looked after it. Spanner time With an upcoming trackday it seemed only...

PS4 the best all round tire IMO

Note to self, make sure the rubber washer hasn’t come off your new oil filter... it makes an awful mess and is a waste of good oil...

Hi All, Mrs has been using the Clio over the last few weeks, being a typical women she's utterly munted one of the wheels into a kerb and left a 180 degree scratch :weary: I'm not really sold on the gordini wheels and am thinking of getting them refurbed into the gunmetal that the 197 F1 came...

Quick little update. Car has a few hundred miles under its belt since the repairs and its running lovely, starting to enjoy the car again and have forgiven her for the little bitch fit. Her days may be numbered however :( Will be relocating soon due to the Mrs getting a new job, she'll need...

Im currently writing an article for my blog i want to start up, it covers off if you should get a 197 ;) i'll post it up soon.

Hi all, It's been announced: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1755667 Looks like a corker! Alex

24hp off an ecu tune on an NA car... :laughing: not a chance!

Collected the car today, my wallet is feeling much lighter to the tune of £400 but the car runs great and seems to be having all good. Cars eh!

May as well go down the coilovers route rather than the cup dampers if you're spending the cash. As above leave the roll bar's till the suspension is done. You'll want a larger rear than front roll arb for some lovely loose rear end handling.

So new cranks and cam sensors, and does it run? No... Seems the fuel pump is now playing silly buggers, its live and relays are ok its just refusing to pump. Time for a new pump then. I was thinking of selling up before this happened, car must have heard me and is having a hissy fit :sweatsmile:

Well quick little update about a crap weekend! So me and the Mrs were off to York for the weekend, planned to spend a day in York then a couple of days around the countryside. Clio was the choice rather than the Scirocco as i hadn't used it in a while and fancied some countryside hooning. Made...

Bloody lovely! That colour is awesome.

Nice to see the progress! I drove a friend's modded E36 328 yesterday, had coilovers, semi slicks and a m3 cam. Absolutely wonderful car! Its got me tempted to sell the Clio and hunt one down...
