    Clubsport 250 Cup

    They're completely different. The Megane is a way better road and clubsport type car, whereas the Clios just feel at home on track. There's no doubt that the Megane is a way more capable car on tracks like the Nurburgring, but over here the Clio is the car to have. The seats fit fine, but are...

    Which One ?

    You’ll be in for a shock on longevity with the RS5’s. I guess we’ll discuss when the time comes around Your statement about wear is contradictory to what I’ve found having ran all four of the stated tyres, and what’s widely discussed amongst the tyre reviewers online.

    Which One ?

    Having ran all four of what you’ve listed, stick with the Michelins. The only thing Rainsports do better than the Pilot Sports, is driving in the snow. The Pilot Sports (whether that be a 4 or 5) are just a better tyre.

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

    You’ve put the wrong bolt in. Fit the correct length one. I wouldn’t worry about it personally.

    Gearbox Issues - how do I know if it’s Synchros?

    I always wanted one on mine, but I know a lot of people cry about the vibrations/noise. I’ve got a coolerworx one in the megane, and whilst it looks cool, it’s a bit of a pain in the arse. So easy to mis-shift! Fortunately for me, I’ve only mis-shifted into higher gear.

    Gearbox Issues - how do I know if it’s Synchros?

    Be difficult. Probably easier to remove the subframe and do it on the floor tbh.

    Lift the front of the car up on both sides, spin a wheel by hand. That will give you a definitive answer.

    You need to use the correct socket when you refit the sump!!!

    Clubsport 250 Cup

    It’s been quiet. The baguettes all growing up, Iain being a responsible adult, and me changing jobs again are the excuses I’m sticking with. Meganes sat basically untouched since the last trackday, and I have had thoughts of selling. So, to snap me out of that mood, I’ve booked a trackday and...

    A leak down test will be a good indicator

    I think that list is sensible. The only thing I’d drop down in importance is the airbox/map. Tyres are selective, but 651’s are pretty budget. Most the track lads here are either running MRF’s or Direzzas
