I don't know where this is going to end up...

He’s likely to need a car transporter not a trailer….only reason he’s coming to Cadwell is to pick up all the broken Renaults

I better put my winch back on my trailer at this rate...

Looks great. Love a Silver Mk3
Nice seeing one which has all the same shade of panel too!

Well… almost! The clear coat on front bumper keeps going hazy, it’s one of those things that once you notice your eye is constantly drawn to it!

Stuck a fresh exhaust on the non-Clio this morning - factory was quiet as an EV, now it sounds like a V6!

 

[Big Ben]

That’s a great effort. Can’t of been many options for aftermarket exhaust on that model I’d imagine?

You’d be surprised - a few South Korean options and a whole bunch of US ones… quite a lot of Kia Stingers being modded across the pond. Problem is they’re so expensive, especially with import fees and taxes. I was really lucky and picked this up from UK distribution in a sale!

A few pics of the Clio for a change!

Wasn’t going to buy any but then saw the post about the other photographer who was at Cadwell and he was much better value.



Plus a personal favourite - alfresco lasagne and chips was top notch, and what a view!

Clio’s been tucked up in garage since Cadwell, and no more plans until Anglesey at end of August.

I’ve been sticking to my guns and not modifying the family car… except for the the dump valves… induction… exhaust… catch can… badges… spoiler…

That is a tidy looking bay!

I swear this f*%king car is doing it on purpose!

Took it for a spin ahead of Bedford and funny gearbox noises ahoy… plus it felt like the LSD locked up at one point. So off to Alex for a gearbox oil check and it’s full of floaty bits of metal - argh!

I’ve had one track day and about 2,000 miles out of it… money down the drain.

Sorry to bring up bad memories, but I was wondering what diff you had, and what diff you moved onto? Ever find out what caused the failure?

It’s was a reconditioned 225 box with a standard R26R diff supplied by BeanieSport that destroyed itself. I went for the same again, but this time supplied by AW Motorworks. It behaves well on the road and track, so fingers crossed I get a few more miles out of it this time!
