Hahahaha funny how that turned! [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

I will do at some point. For now I'm just being sensible while I settle in to the house and everything. In a year or so I will likely buy a toy again. What that'll be I'm not sure I had thought about selling the Clio for ages (probably nearly a year now) as at times I kinda lost the love and...

Bit of a sad update this one. The car sold yesterday I'll be sticking around the forums and reading through people's blogs still, just won't have my own! :( The car has gone to live near castle Combe so I'm sure it'll see plenty of track action and the new owner is mates with someone who has...

Me again [emoji112] Been daily driving the Clio again for 6 months now. Figured it could do with a little love, needs a bloody good wash though. But I've changed the gearbox oil and engine oil today. Been sitting on the parts a few weeks but finding the time to do it has been hard, today was a...

Yeah exactly! If I'm okay at Bedford I think I'll be okay anywhere No worries, happy to help. Ah that's a shame. The sales do go up every now and again. I got mine basically half price. £290 I paid which I think was like 330 euros or something? Can't quite remember. But usually they're 600+...

Cheers mate. Exactly that yeah. I've been tempted to take it to a proper exhaust place and have it modified slightly Yeah it really does, no flatspot from this Oreca system either which is a bonus No issues so far with noise. Done Bedford twice & haven't been flagged, that's basically the...

You can just about see it on the pictures of my car. It is quite low, but not an issue for track use I wouldn't think. I don't think it helps that I have a predator manifold on which a few people have commented on having fitment issues with too. I haven't really noticed a major issue with mine...

Yeah I do have the Oreca It's a good system, fitment is a bit iffy I have found & so has my mates. Hangs really low but sounds good, bit noisy though if you have a standard manifold it's actually not too bad. As soon as I changed the manifold it got pretty loud & had to put a secondary cat in...

Yet more general maintenance! Had my cambelt done at ktec today. Weirdly the thing that stood out to me a lot is that the car idles so much better than it previously did, I don't know if maybe the timing was out beforehand or something & caused it to idle a bit funny or just run a bit lumpy...

If they're really far gone, maybe hammering the smallest socket you can get on to them that will bite hard & then replacing them after. Not pretty but if it works! Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

Clio had it's MOT yesterday Passed with advisories for slight play in the rear wheel bearings, but I think the nuts may need tightening rather than there actually being play as the discs are not old at all I think it may be from when I did my rear beam bushes & the abs rings, maybe they've...

Yeah exactly that. My old ones I was not fussed about so I just hammered them out and that did the trick. But getting back in obviously is a different matter. Is it just with the additional camber & caster you've noticed it? I swear they weren't that difficult previously The bottom nut is a...

Did a little more maintenance on the car yesterday, changed out my drop links as it's MOT time next weekend. The boot on my RH side one has been pretty chewed up for a while but I've just not been able to do it. No knocking or anything and the ball joints were still actually solid but I thought...

Duct looks sick mate. I'd like something similar to be fair for my airbox, probably just for track work for me though [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

Looks good mate. You might also struggle with Bedford on that exhaust too if you plan to go there at any point? Guess it depends how loud it is on the drive by haha! Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

Been a little while! Just a little update Yesterday I turned a spanner for the first time in ages on the car haha. Quick oil and filter change & swapped my stock wheels with the Goodyear's on to the car. Reason being is I have a new job & the Clio will be returning to daily duties for a little...

As above, I've done this all on my drive. It's not too bad. The only trouble with the manifold bolts is it's a bit of a back killer leaning over the bay so much Off the top of my head I actually accessed most of the bottom ones from the bottom, lying on the floor Sent from my AC2003 using...

Car looks great mate Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

Nightmare! Glad you're up and running now. I just hope I don't have the same sort of problems when tinkering with mine [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk
