    Sale thread replies get deleted

    Hi, I stuck a for-sale thread into the relevant section here I've had a few replies on it since it went up, but some time later those replies disappear. To my knowledge there were approx 3 or 4 replies added to that post which I read and responded to and now all of them and my responses are gone.

    Bedford Autodrome 07-06-21 - Javelin Trackday REPORT

    Had a fun day out at Bedford yesterday with Javelin doing the GT circuit which is an amalgamation of all four of the venues usual North, South, East, West tracks (I think) which they use on the PalmerSport driving experience days. Weather was perfect and there were lots of great people and...

    Roll Cage installation

    Haha! I did EXACTLY the same thing :tearsofjoy: Yoga mats are also good for protecting your bones lying on concrete and you can usually "borrow"one from your significant other.

    Donnington National - Evening Session Video

    Thanks Nick for the detailed reply. I'm going to run the camber shims at Bedford in a couple of weeks, but I'll try adjusting my driving style and see what's what. Before my next trip to Donington (assuming me and the car survive Bedford) I'll take the shims off and see what the difference is.

    Donnington National - Evening Session Video

    Couple of things I've realised: 1. I need to clean the inside of my windscreen. 2. I spelled Donington wrong in the video :( I was also wondering about my rear camber shims. Previous track day was Blyton, and while I wasn't quite as brave, the only major difference to geometry is the...

    Donnington National - Evening Session Video

    Yeah I was struggling with understeer in some corners. This is only my second track day. I really need COVID to be done with so I can get some tuition :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Donnington National - Evening Session Video

    Haha, yeah but I can give the main points here for convenience. The car is largely stock; Engine and drivetrain are stock. Stripped interior, half cage (for harness mounting more than anything). 4 point TRS harnesses, Cobra seats. Federal 595-RS Pro 225 tyres. Std. Cup shocks with H&S springs...

    Donnington National - Evening Session Video

    Hi all. Just did an evening session at Donnington on 26th of May. This was my first trip to that circuit. I'd been told by a couple of people that the Clios are a bit underpowered for the track, but I had an absolute blast. Chatted to a couple of other Clio owners who came over to say hello...

    CL10 OOH Mallory park.

    Red one? I used to see that parked in Nuneaton. More recently it seemed to have disappeared and been replaced by a Megane. Always thought the number plate was cool :smile:

    Track rod ends... sided?

    Just in case anyone wondered, yes I did put them on the wrong sides. Swapped over, got tracking done and it’s sorted now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Track rod ends... sided?

    Yeah fingers crossed. I’ll check and swap the ends first and if that fixes the full lock problem I’ll leave it at that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Track rod ends... sided?

    Thanks suj Ah... crap I did have the inner ones off too and I’m sure I put the spacers in, but it was a while back and you’ve now planted the seed of doubt [emoji28] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Track rod ends... sided?

    A while back I replaced the track rod ends on my 197. It’s been in the garage since over the winter. Just took it out, full lock coming off the drive and I get crunchy, clonky, scraping noises. Not good. Stopped, with car on full lock track rod end is making contact with the inner rim of the...

    197: Insurance?

    Thanks chaps. Got a call back from Greenlight this morning. All mods declared £370 which was a bit less than my last policy. Decent.

    My First Renault - Clio 197 Weekend/Track Toy Project

    I've had a bit of time over the last couple of days to play with RSTuner. Henk from Fastchip.nl was very helpful with the airbag module issue (I bought the wrong one) and let me pay the difference to get the module I actually needed. That has worked perfectly and I've been able to disable all...

    My First Renault - Clio 197 Weekend/Track Toy Project

    Quick update on fastchip.nl. Henk emailed me regarding my request to swap the airbag module. He said it couldn't be returned, as once it's part of the app, it's always part of the app, but he's asked me to just pay the difference between the Bosch module and the Temic one (10 euros), so pretty...
