    Best track tyre

    I currently run Michelin PS3's X load (non squidgy sidewall), this is the first time I've considered track style tyres. I mainly go looking for decent roads to enjoy so want the best grip possible in that scenario but also plan to get on track once or twice a year. After reading this whole...

    Hi simoxmino love the car mate, been following you thread for a while now. Sorry if I've missed it but could you please tell me what size tyre you run on your OZ Ultraleggera's please? I'm going to order some soon but getting mixed information on web searches. Thanks

    Yeah I spent months reading mixed reviews on spacers, I think you just have to give it a try and see how you feel

    Get a patient helper for sure lol. Main thing is to make sure you keep the reservoir topped up cos if it gets too low you'll end up pushing loads of air into the system and that can play havoc with some of the ABS parts on these clio's I read somewhere. This video was the most helpful I found...

    Changing the lines was quite easy, it's just bleeding it all through that took the longest amount of time. I'd say you only really notice a difference when your leaning on the brakes hard, gives a little more confidence further down the pedal travel. I can't say make a drastic difference, I only...

    Yes I did thanks, had it pretty much much to myself for the first hour and then more people started turning up. Easy to get chatting to people over there and some nice cars around. Will definitely make the trip again

    Just a few photo's of the last couple of weeks with my springs and spacers fitted, along with my morning at the Evo triangle last weekend. Exciting day getting everything together finally spending money on some fun stuff I always said if the spacers affected the handling badly in any way...

    Well I got carried away over easter and finally ordered my H&R springs and 19mm spacers. Fitted it all without any dramas. I think the car looks great now, whether there is any improvement or reduction in handling is hard to tell as work is only a short drive. However I'm heading upto the Evo...

    A week later than I'd planned due to the weather but I got my HEL brake lines fitted today and got the ATE blue fluid flushed through and replaced with MOTUL RBF 600. I'm hoping in a day or two my squeaky clutch will sort itself out (fingers crossed). My old mucky rear lines Much better...

    197 cup

    Cars looking really nice, I had the same issue with trying to wind back my callipers. One side was easy and the other required two long bars to get enough turning force. I've just had to have my handbrake cable replaced due to it sticking on so maybe that was the problem all along

    Hi everyone, Thought it was time I updated this. The good news is the car is going well and is still being used as intended. To go back to where I left things though...... I got the pin's out (or what was left of them) thanks to a great local garage that I've always taken my wife's cars to...

    Squeeky clutch pedal? GET IN HERE!

    Thought I'd chip in my 10p, found this thread on a search after my clutch pedal developed a squeak the day after ....... you guessed it, I did a full fluid replace with ATE Super Blue. Now need to decide which is more annoying, the squeak or having to replace all the fluid again

    Thanks Pav, I guess most new 197/200 owners will go through something like this unless their really lucky. Glad I ordered the improved pins now
