4 months into ownership.

Some moments to share.

Current mods are:
18" OZ Ultraleggera
Eibach Pro-Kit w/ Cup Damper
Akrapovic Evo
Ultragauge
Resting foot scuff plate
RS gear knob
Ultra racing rear arb
Sprintbooster(want to sell) £150 free shipping, 2 months old. Bought at £200. Too responsive for me.

Haha. I do agree with u. However it looks even weirder without any sticker behind. The panel looks very bloated.

The car came with this sticker.

Did these to counter the heat. Just had a short drive today. Gonna monitor and share more info later.

Notice alot of oil in the inlet manifold due to oil vapors from the pcv. Custom an oil rebreather capture tank. It gonna works perfect

MAP sensor loose? Might as well secure it with a bracket

That must be the best MAP fix I've seen so far! Nice one:smile: thumbs up for the capture tank as well, does it really work?

I have to say, I very much prefer our car on 17" wheels rather than 18".

On theory, the capture tank should work perfect. The wire gauze should cool down the oil vapor and liquify it before reaching the manifold. Once liquify, it should flow back into the crank case. In reality...it is too early to check my manifold for oil stain.

I move from 18" to 17". I fully agree that 17" looks better with clio. There are more tyre choices for 17" also. 225/40R18 is way oversize and 225/35R18 has very limited tyre choice.
