Locking\unlocking I’ve found is the battery, swapped to a PC680 and it went away… until that had drained a bit and it returned (as expected, it’s on axel stands so isn’t getting much charge), they seem to do some odd things when low on voltage - the steering lock will be next!

Exact same situation except my rear window will be replaced with polycarbonate so I’ve taken that wiring out too. I’ve got all the wires free from tape and clips, LHS has been sorted - I couldn’t ping the crimped connectors out of the connector block which was annoying, I had to cut each one...

Ahh makes sense, thanks turkie

I’m currently removing all disconnected wires from my car, I’ve found this thing in the rear right pillar and I’ve not a clue what it is, anyone know?

Holy cow the rear bumper has been off for some time and I didn't actually realise there was no cut out available for a towing eye, what a great design - that's going to be fun. I've made a bracket to mount the tow cable to using the existing M20 thread for the original towing eye. It's not...

Really tidy looking Clio that is, welcome!

I am currently fitting tow cables to my car - I'm not a fan of tow straps after one snapped on me some time ago which is why I've opted for cables. The front one was nice and easy, buzz off the thread that accepts the standard Renault tow bar and mount it there. The rear however has me...

For my first season in HH i'm not really expecting to be too competitive, the car needs quite a bit more work to even be at the top of class B, as a result tyre choice is somewhat steered by price (pardon the pun). The direzzas' and Advans are just that bit too much, which is why these ZTR's are...

I've not tried either - I've only been on track with crappy road tyres or AR1's which felt pretty good. I was looking to move to Toyo Proxes to compete but i've since changed my mind on the 750 clio cup and looking more at the hot hatch championship (I didn't rate the suspension you need to run...

Great thread mate, I purchased mine at around the same time in similar condition, it hasn’t hit the track yet as it’s still in tear down and rebuild but hoping to have it on track by May. Interesting to hear about the Accelera tyres - I’ve fitted these to use as my setup tyre, I’ve made my car...

Thanks mate, do you know if the seat offset position is affected with direct to floor mounts?

Didn’t realise I had a reply to this I kept an eye on it, I had only previously driven it in the cold and driving it during the UK heatwave it was quite alarming how quick it got to temp. Seems to be running just fine though. I’ll be flushing the rad soon enough anyway so we’ll see what comes...

Hi everyone, I’m soon to be fitting a bucket seat in my 197, I’m curious of peoples opinions on either a seat subframe with mounts bolted on to it or mounts that bolt directly to the floor? I don’t like to be too low in a car, from what I understand the subframe and mount option doesn’t go...

Hi guys, first post here. Had my 197 on axel stands for the last 4 months doing work on all 4 corners, back on the road today but found the engine is warming up super fast, hot after a slow 5 minute drive, temp readout seems normal however. Has anyone more experience than me ( minimal) on the...
