@Dr Jekyll - I didn't have, but you've sparred me on to put up a thread. It'll take me a few days to get it up to speed though as I've done a bit of tinkering, nothing major compared to some, but just starting the track car build journey :smile...

I've done quite a bit of work over the last few months since picking the car up - I'll post up over the next few days to catch up to where I am. First issue to resolve was the quite frankly shocking exhaust..... The exhaust was fixed hard up against the rear mounts and had an assortment or...

Hi everyone - well I thought it about time that after lurking for quite a few months that I put up a thread and join in with the forum. First a bit of history... I've never owned a Renault, nor really paid them much attention if I'm honest - having started out initially with Vauxhalls and then...

Just ordered some eibach camber bolts - will get them fitted over the weekend and hopefully all set up early next week ready for Rockingham on the 18th :up:

Thanks gents - makes sense. What about settings for geometry? What should I be aiming for. The car will be used mainly for track - (driving there and back also).

Hi everyone - I tried a search but didn't quite get the answer. I purchased my Clio back end of last year and have been slowly returbing / replacing bits and pieces. Brakes, coilovers etc The car has PMS top mounts, H&R coilovers, rear 15mm back of hub spacers and also front 16mm spacers...

I found what I was looking for - bought from Hydroquip M10 X 1 to 3/8 unf with convex seats. £9.98 per fitting

Managed to get sorted from Hydroquip. Just need the seals to arrive tomorrow from comprake and I'm all good.

Thanks mate - I'll have a look. Issue I have is the braide hose is a M10 x1 fittment - so I'll need an adaptor from M10 x1 to 3/8x16 unc if that is the size. Been to 3 different places, to type match the exisint fitting and none have them in (euro car parts, local motorfactor & hydraquip)...

Hi gents - currently trying to get the car sorted for the Clio turbo meet on Sunday and if I dont get this sorted I wont be making it 😞 Does anyone know the union size on the front brake pipes that the flexi hose screws into or what size the standard clio flex is please I...

Hopefully someone can help with this. Does anyone know what the thread pattern / size of the female brake union fitting on the end of the brake pipe as it connects to the flexi hose? I thought it was M10 x1 but its too small. I'm currently refurbishing the brakes on my 182 ready for the...

The idea is great, but in my opinion it'd be a nightmare. I 50/50 split previously with a good friend and it worked perfectly, but there was no need for a written agreement - everything was split 50/50 - still pee'd us both off though when one of us decided it needed new tyres or a refresh of...

That looks awesome - almost brand new.

Thought I'd just stick this in here as I'm here for he Beers. :tongueout: Seriously though your luck has to change soon. Bring on the lottery win and beers for all :beers: :up:

I used to be a moderator over on some of the Audi forums and it used to drive me nuts the same topics coming up over and over again. I therefore try my best to search before asking the same questions that have probably been asked a 100 times ! Have found the answers to most of my questions on...
