    Help me shave 6 second off my lap time

    I'd say AD08R's, a good track set up on the brakes maybe? PBS pads or DS2500 with a grooved disc, HEL braided lines and some good fluid. Shed some weight here and there and look at the niggly stuff- tyre pressures, camber n toe for a good setup. Then look at your times and go from there.

    197: Shall I or shouldn't I?

    A family member of mine just bought a M140i, completely different from the E46's I know but having driven that and very nearly swapping for a Megane myself- neither of them could come close to the charm of the Clio's! So I say no... But thats just my opinion mate :kissingsmiling:

    Silverstone GP progress thread!

    The first proper warm sunny day of spring was intended for fitting the big mountain of parts to be fitted. However... A recent trip to A&E left us hobbling about to the house. So I just spent the day prepping and painting the the ends of the cup spoiler. Could never justify the price of carbon...

    If i was a betting man I'd probably guess so. Such a simple mod for such large and positive results. Reminds me of my old car too, bonus!

    Not sure mate, all I know about it is that it was bolted to my seats when I picked them up and now they're in the car! :tearsofjoy:

    It's an aftermarket seat base. It drops the sear around 4/5cm and totally changes the driving position- a well worth investment imo.

    Correct sir, jumping in out of turbo charged cars for the last 2/3 weeks, all amazing and all lacking the N/A charm. A good long hard look in the mirror convinced me to keep it :blush:

    Silverstone GP progress thread!

    So, here is my Silverstone GP (36/50) Fully loaded with a limited paint scheme, she's abit of a minter! Photo below is the day I first got it and gave it a good days detail. Instead of constantly updating my gallery I thought I'd start a progress thread for future reference and for any...

    Snow has finally gone and the sun has made a guest appearance which meant a spot of TLC... Really want to make this an amazing example of the Silverstone GP for 2018. This means she's having some attention in the coming weeks. Today was the niggly stuff... Door sills etc etc... The stuff I...

    Silverstone GP Ft. Recaro leathers

    Went to work last night and came out to a sh*t load of snow... Usual case of frozen calipers, I'm now a seasoned expert at solving that issue, push out from the boss and the Clio pulled me home. Summer tyres on a summer car and still made it home through all the ungritted roads- we've had alot...

    Swapping up...

    Ahhh, the Meg conversion, a conversation I have with myself 39times a day. It's all pro's with a meg conversation no doubt but the downside of that is insurance. An engine swap is something I'd want covered on my car insurance. Having had modified insurance before its not that much hassle but...

    Swapping up...

    After always wanting a Clio 200, I was 11 when they first came out, I finally got one last year. A good one too, really good one! Kind of felt abit meh about the car though after a few months, the dream car novelty had worn off... The Clio does everything I want in a car, handles, quick, ideal...

    ABS/ESP/Service lights on

    Problem solved- ish. Ended up gritting a 200m stretch of road as a run up so to speak, some hot water on the calipers, release the handbrake then repeat. Used my new tarmac patch as a run up to the snow,a good run up at the snow at some lets say questionable speed for the climate and hey...

    ABS/ESP/Service lights on

    Okay, here we go again! Lil' update. Cleared some snow, warmed the car arm, hot water on the brakes big chunks of ice fell out when I rolled the car forwards and backwards. Currently still have all 3 lights on and traction control/abs still disabled. I'm guessing that by driving without unfroze...
