I had one on the car before but it’s installation was a little bit untidy, just a 13 row oil cooler under the front bumper crash bar with rubber hoses to the low pressure side of the rack and the PAS reservoir, worked well and stopped the fluid boiling over but looked terrible. This time round...

No, never. Not in a million years. Racing in itself isn’t that expensive but when it goes wrong it goes really wrong and then it’s a lot of money which you need to spend right away. Just track days for me!

PMS shifter ordered, wanted one before but never got round to it so now is the time. I’m pretty certain that’s all I’ll need other than some consumable bits like brake fluid so it should be pretty easy from here on.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I’ve got one ordered now, sold me old cheap runabout so this is effectively free (good old man maths!)

Looking for first hand experience only really, as I’m considering buying one but want honest user opinions... I’ve seen a couple of people complain about extra noise in the cabin but I’m not at all fussed by that. What I really want to know is if the lack of a return spring on the shifter to...

Looking at the receipts, he did, the garage just couldn’t find the issue, I feel a bit bad for the guy to be honest but one man’s loss... I bought it assuming it needed an engine so having a spare is a definite bonus, the old one had cam belt and water pump a few miles back though so this one...

Old build thread here - https://www.cliosport.net/threads/ctcrc-pre-05-race-car-build-claudetheclio.746562/ - ended in disaster, a bent car, financial disaster and a broken marriage! So, the obvious thing to do was start again, right? Almost... I’ve bought my share the old car with some of the...

Well they make somewhere between 190 and 210bhp depending on the variant, plus 230bhp in the Clio V6 ph1 and 255bhp in the ph2. The thing they do make is torque, 200-220lb/ft against the 150 in the F4R. the argument is there for all the engines I've seen used before, the Vauxhall one makes...

Before anyone says, yes, I know there's little point as the F4R makes fairly similar power, give or take 20bhp, to the Renault V6 ins non Renaultsport form, but... over the years I've seen all manner of V6s in little cars and the one thing I've never seen is a Clio with one in the front. It...

She went for Performance Friction PF08s in the end, swapped to Brembo Max discs too, they're a lot better than the Pagid so will be sticking with them as the price is pretty good too!

So... Snetterton She qualified 3rd in class, had a reasonable start and then this happened... Still, she finished 3rd in class so got her first trophy All 'repaired' for race 2 She had a blinding start, was leading her class then misread a mechanical warning flag so came into the...

I'm using Brembo Xtra discs (same material as Max but drilled not grooved) I do have some Max discs and another set of Pagid pads in the garage, I'm reluctant to try then just in case they're no better, it'd be £200 odd down the drain if they're not.

Well... I printed the bed in procedure and stuck it to the steering wheel for when the Mrs took the car to Snetterton. I'm assuming she did it correctly and she says she has!
