Does anyone know if there is any difference between the Weeder Motorsport radiator support and the Clio Cup version? I cannot see that Weeder have got any stock of their radiator support at the moment as it is not shown in their shop. I contacted R Sport and they say that the part (marked as...

Has anyone tried a TMPS rather than just use a gauge at track days? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BV629SJW/?tag=clio197-21 I saw someone on Facebook suggesting a cheap system like this. Or has anyone gone in to this a bit further and got sone TPMS valves installed in their wheels to avoid...

What would be the best gearbox oil to put in to my 200 gearbox with a Gripper diff? How much oil do I need for a full gearbox oil change?

I am going to remove the drivers side cill plate in my 200 as part of the body work repairs it is having next week. I have got the impression that the standard cill plates are fairly flimsy and it is likely to break when it is removed. Supreme Motorsport sell replacement carbon cill plates in...

I plugged in CLIP to the car last night and was looking for obvious faults that would explain why some of the electrical items in my car are not working. The radio and multimedia screen have no power and cannot be found by CLIP. It may well be that they are some dodgy connections somewhere. But...

I have two GoPro Hero 5 cameras which are really good for track days as they have image stabilisation and get rid of most of the vibrations from track days. I am looking to buy a third camera and am wondering if any of the cheaper action cameras are any good, or just cheap. There are a few...

I put down a deposit on a GR Yaris today. I had to replace my liquid yellow Megane RS 280 after it was written off - it had an unfortunate meeting with a dead deer at 70 mph on a dual carriageway that launched the car in to the air. I had considered a whole range of other cars but took a...

A few weeks ago my Megane RS 280 had an unfortunate meeting with a dead deer (it was dead before I got to it) at 70 mph on a dual carriageway. The car has been written off as the repair bill was something like £21,000 and the insurance company did not want to risk the repairs getting any more...

Has anyone here installed a ZPO shifter on their drive? I am seriously thinking about buying a ZPO shifter next month. I have seen the installation guide which states you need to remove the centre section of the exhaust and the heat shield to be able to get to the cables that run to the gear...

The Clio suffered with fairly violent brake judder at Snetterton last week. The front brakes are Renault Megane R26 drilled discs. We put those on last year and at the same time ran Ferodo DS 2500 pads. In early July 2022 we changed the front pads to DS Uno's. At Anglesey in July 2022 the...

I saw a liquid yellow R27 in the queue at a drive through Costa in Colchester today. I had pulled up in my liquid yellow Megane 280 and gave the driver a nod to say, “nice car”.

I had two excellent track days at Croft and Donington recently. I took my track wheels which were a set of 17" Oz Ultraleggeras which had part work Direzza DZ03Gs on them. The tyres are 215 45 R17. The tyres had about 3 to 4mm on each tyre. I don't know what usage the tyres had had before I got...

Has anyone used Millers Oils EE Performance 5w40 Engine Oil in their Clio? I have used Fuchs Titan Race Pro S oil since owning the Clio but I cannot find anyone who has a decent stock of 5l packs of the Fuchs stuff. The description of the Millers oil says it is good for track days so I hoping...

It is time for some new brake pads. I have Ferodo DS2500 brake pads on the front and back at the moment. They have been fine. I have never had an issue with them, and I probably don't even push them too much when I am driving on track. But they are starting to wear out. What are people's...

I saw a nice looking Gordini 200 in Braintree on Wednesday 8th June 2022. The registration was something like VD10 or VH10. Does it belong to anyone here?

I saw a tidy looking storm grey 200 with cup spoiler and black Speedlines in South Woodham today - just round the corner from my house. Registration T23 HAD. Does it belong to anyone on here?

On my way up to Croft I saw a very nice Albi blue 197 on the other side of the road near to Duxford Imperial War Museum. It had an anthracite half cae and bonnet vents. There was a good looking bloke driving it. The number plate was SD06 ??? @Big Ben

Do all right hand drive lights for Clios fit other models? Is there any difference between a 197, 200 or any other mk 3 Clio light? I am looking to buy a cheap headlight and butcher it for a cold air feed.

I picked up a JP Cages Hal cage from @PITA yesterday. The cage fits inside the car but is putting pressure on the passenger side seatbelt mechanism. The cage is the right cage for an unstripped interior and fitted perfectly fine in the full fat Clio that it came out from. This is the drivers...

When I had the rear wheels off of the Clio at the weekend one of the rear callipers looked a bit scabby. It has obviously been repainted a few times before my ownership. It had been prone to sticking before and when I checked the brake pad wear it looked a bit uneven. I have been looking at the...
