    Is this an oil leak from a bad gasket? Or overfill? (Pics inside)

    Given that I don't know what I am talking about, but if you have put oil in and not turned the engine over, then, unless, as has been said, you have spilt the oil, I wouldn't be expecting any oil to be coming out just because of a slight over fill. If it is, I would be putting a lot of money on...

    Pad Life on Track Days

    Blyton and Croft are hard on brakes, so they have not done bad. They are a good pad, if you like them, stick with them.

    I've put it back to standard for now, which has instantly reminded me of why I changed away from standard in the first place! Interesting though. A rather compromised Clio, as far as road driving went, against a standard (brakes aside at the time) road car. Sems you can have your cake and eat...

    Apologies for putting this in your thread, but it sort of fits the theme of none Renault. Interesting stuff. How are you finding the brakes a bit further down the line? This is my none Clio I am surprised how good it is as standard. Likewise, I don't want to modify it for track as it just...

    You want the soft MRF if you want to out do the AR1, which you would, but obviously it would wear quicker than the medium or hard, but probably still less than the Nankang. My car weighed 1250kg on Donington's scales and still did a 2:21 round Snett and probably been quicker if the gear change...

    It's the providence that makes it valuable to some people. Being able to say it was on Top Gear and that people in Korea will recognise it because of that, wins you more pub conversations than "I bought it off some bloke on the Clio forum with low milage."

    Stainless Steel threads can gaul, however, I have never used St Stl in Aluminium so not aware if it will be a problem or not.

    What is the passenger weight and C of G please, and also their last 4 meals? Will you be putting genuine, native, Norfolk air in or will it be imported from another county? We generally have problems with Northern Air as it contaminated with Whippet and Carbolic soap pollution and generally is a...

    I would suggest the design is actually flawed and the slots are too long meaning that the the land between is under too much stress as well as potentially allowing forward and back movement which would saw on them. I forget which company made these but the slot is only to allow for alignment to...

    Lots of things to consider here. First, and quite an important thing, is that they will replacing their tyres far more frequently than you will. It typically used to be one pair per race meeting, or around every 1.5 hours on track. The tyre typically does not need a lot of camber to keep the...
