Morning all,

Just thought I’d introduce myself as I’m new to the forum.

I’m Phil from Devon and have recently purchased a Clio 197. She’s standard apart from lowering springs and the wheels are black but could do with another refurb.

I bought her specifically to be able to do a few track days whilst still being a decent daily. I did Bedford autodrome a few months ago and she lasted 10 laps before the cluctch slave burst and my day was over! Not the best start but hey ho, these things do happen.

Just on the off chance anyone does know, I have been looking around the forum and have noticed a few sections (particularly the ‘how to’) says I don’t have permission to view the thread when I click on them. Anybody have any ideas why?

Cheers,

Phil

Hi mate, thanks. There are always little bits that need doing! Since I’ve had her I’ve replaced the clutch and re-fitted the centre exhaust silencer as the previous owner took it out and the flat spot was absolutely horrific. It drives like a different car now it’s back to standard. I’ve got pure motorsport rear stub axle spacers to go on when I get an afternoon.

I have been reading up on the ‘Meglio’ conversions and I imagine I will go down this route eventually. I’m no stranger to an engine conversion and this looks easier than most! I have read your progress threads on yours with great interest in fact
