2nd child arriving earlier that scheduled. To appease the Mrs basically. Though as I've said, this one is a third/hobby car and not a daily so this one is staying.

Once you've had one the want for another never goes away.

So today the first of the bits for the 200 arrived today. Some shiny new projector headlights:


Also managed to clear the garage to a point that the car could actually fit in:


Tis a tight fit but better this way than sitting on the drive until the season changes.

Snug that

Emptied everything out, stuck the Clio in then thought, this stuff aint going back in

Managed to Tetris it in the end. The plan is to get a shed before spring and all that stuff at the front can go in there.

Surprised you don’t have palpitations clambering over The recaro’s... bolster wear is real ... lol

Good work on the projectors, I got some for my 197, only crap thing is, like most Renault's the light output is so rubbish, I've tried so many bulbs, I finally got some LED bulbs and it makes such a massive difference! So easy to fit and fit with covers on.

I got the following:

KATUR H1 Led Headlight Bulbs Mini Design Upgraded CREE Chips Extremely Bright 12000 Lumens Waterproof All-in-One LED Headlight Conversion Kit 55W 6500K Xenon White-2 Years Waranty https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QVBYBPX/?tag=clio197-21

Did you have to cut the dust cover or did it fit?

Nope, I thought I said above cover fitted fine? This is on a 197, I assume 200 will be same?
Just take off the adapter and lock it into the headlight like you would a normal bulb.
Then pull out the earth (it's plugged into the housing for a normal H1 bulb), then plug in two leads on the LED and push into the housing you've already put in.
Making sure orientation is facing up (or look at the original H1 bulb for reference.

I’m on my 2nd mate - such an awesome colour

First trackday of the year is booked for the start of May. Went with Opentrack (first time I've booked through them) and their full day event at Knockhill.

Seems like an awful long way away but I have many things I want to do to the car before this (Essentials being brakes and wheels/tyres).

The kind man of DPD had some goodies for me today:

Inside we had some lightness:

These little bad boys:

Nice:

Now I just gotta decide which tyres to stick on 'em. Swaying towards Michelin Cup 2s over the R888-R.

I would go with some Dunlop DZ03g's. I had some Cup2's on my 220 Trophy 18 months ago and killed them in 1 day around Donington Park.

What suspension will you be going with?

PS nice wheels

 

[Beany]

Dz03g or AR1s if your doing down semi route..

otherwise just go full slicks

Thanks for this info. Sticking with the Cooksport springs on cup dampers at the moment. I'd love coilovers but probably won't happen.

I still need to be road legal to drive to track so semi slick route it is.

AR1s look nearly like a slick but are £30 cheaper per tyre over the Dunlop's.

Cup 2 will be fine if you don't push them to hard and run the correct hot pressures (36 psi)

I've ran PS4 on mine for an absolute age and done quite a few trackdays on them, inc a full day at the ring in the dry. I've just stuck with the above pressures and they've been fine.

If your sticking with a spring and OE damper setup I would probably sway towards a 225/45/17 AD08R then. Fully road legal and a great all round tyre
