    Wheel alignment North East

    Hi all, Can anyone recommend a garage that can do a full alignment on my Clio 200 up here in the north east? Someone who would be confident adding rear shims and making sure the whole setup is correct. Reason is my car pulling to the left and I’m constantly having to apply pressure to the right...

    I think I need to get it on track again soon to really appreciate what they can do and how I can set them up for how I like it

    Yeah I’ve been playing around with the ride height. I took a base measurement before I got them fitted and have set it up to be lower by 10mm all round. I’m trying to keep the characteristics of the cup chassis. One thing I’m trying to find info on is the hard and soft settings that they have...

    No I just asked the garage to set it to the standard cup camber setting. Should I try full negative?

    More work on the not so exciting parts. Managed to remove the sill kick plates without destroying them so hopefully they’ll go back on ok. Once the skirts where of I brushed away the dirt and dust and then washed everything down. I removed the grommets and cleaned around them. Once it’s all...

    North East wheel alignment- geo setup

    Can anyone recommend a garage in the north east who could do a proper setup on my Clio 200? It’ll be fitted with coilovers soon that have adjustable top mounts and I’d like to get the most out of them once fitted. Ta

    Had some time to have a look under the rear arches. Found a few little rust patches and some rust under areas of seam seal. Cut the bad seam seal away and removed any loose rust and paint. Used some red oxide paint over these areas, doesn’t look nice but will protect these areas. The offside...

    Couple of pics of the Clio at the recent Croft track day. Overall I was very happy with how the car felt, the brakes especially with the mintex 1144 pads and rbf 600 fluid. Only issue I had was the near side front damper, fluid is leaking from it and it started to make a knocking sound. Need to...

    I’ve got a harness to go in, but I’m not sure I’ll go down the cage route though.

    Keep at it mate. I bought one last December and it wasn't far of the same condition as yours, Although mine did have a bent rear axle :( Four months later of hard work and visits to garage I finally feel like its now presentable.

    The sparco REV looks good for cushioning and support.

    Yeah I kind of like the no horn look but an RS one in yellow could look good. The seats are comfy but a tight fit. Not sure how they compare to others as I’ve not sat in anything else. The main issue I’m having at the moment is getting the seats at the angle and distance from the steering wheel...

    Motamec steering wheel and Volantech boss fitted which keeps the indicator canceling action. Also remembered I'd bought some RS mats and got them in. Not sure if I should have the Motamec horn button in or not?

    Hi Thought I’d post a few pics on my Clio 200 progress. Trying to get the car setup for track day use. Removed the rear seats and fitted a baf motorsport brace, added some carpet to finish it of. Today I got around to fitting my M2 gtr seats on pure track direct side mounts. I’ve also got a...

    This happened to me a couple of weeks ago, turned out my battery had given up. New battery solved it for me.
