That R26 is :cool: I don't want it....... Honest.

As ever the result is awesome. :cool: One day the little old Clio will have to be treated to this level of care and attention.

When giving the car a proper clean the wife pops out and makes some comment about how long it's taking before pulling 'the face' and walking off.:argue:

WOW You can actually see the workshop floor. ;)

Looks nice. Might see you around.

Cheers. Off to France tomorrow so will be making use of that.:approve:

At last. I was starting to think I was the only one with any grip on the real world. Must be something that comes with age. :coffee:

I have no real idea but would take a wild guess at overheating. Open the case and give the CPU fan a good vacuum.

But you are comparing two hot versions of the same car. The person who is looking at a 1*2 FF falls into the same category as the Elise buyer. Couldn't care how safe it is etc so will take the more focused cup for the better driving experience. Unfortunately I would suggest the hot versions of...

And a picture of some description may help....

Lotus Elise at the height of production shipped 4500 cars per year worldwide. Total Renault Clio sales in the UK last year 8640. And the UK is nowhere near the top of the pile when it comes to Renault sales. So in real terms the Elise is a low volume car. Lotus Elise has never been NCAP tested...

Your average Elise buyer pays no interest in how many NCAP stars it's got. I would also suggest an Elise is by no means a mass produced car. A Clio on the other hand...... ;)

Crash tests and occupant safety have resulted in cars becoming bigger and heavier. Now emission restrictions will cause a reduction in engine capacity. Light weight high bhp mass produced cars a thing of the past ?????

Wife's sim died in her iPhone after two months. :(

Had mine done by Paul at the Enfield branch a few weeks ago. Took mine in as bare wheels so no tyres to strip/refit and he had them done in a day. The wheels I had refurbed had bubbling paint and corrosion rather than curbing/dents so there was no filling etc needed. Very happy with the...

I hate tyre shine/gloss. Reminds me of dodgy 80's car dealers. :rasp:

I did seriously consider keeping them silver but after leaning one up against the car prior to the refurb I thought the anthracite looked much better. Thanks for all the comments. :D

Yes another I got new wheels thread and yes I am a sheep. The Bean as it stood at CS Saturday. Picked these up in need of a refurb from a member on here Refurbished by Paul at the wheel specialist in Enfield. And finally fitted to the bean. The wheels were the first thing I wanted to...

Had my wheels done at the Enfield branch last week. Great service from Paul who runs the shop. They offered to match the Renault colour for a slight price increase. They stated that they would powder coat in their standard anthracite colour then paint the face in the Renault colour prior to...

PM Simon from sprayshack in the trader section. He uses the renault colour and is very reasonable for wheel painting I believe. Sure he will give you the paint code if you ask him. He did put it in a PM he sent me but I've deleted it.

Recaros in the 197's are height adjustable.

Indeed they are no longer made. PS3's are the replacement. There is a thread somewhere if you have a search.

That sounds just like tightening the bolt to the specified torque setting. :nono:

This is why torque wrenches were invented. ;) Glad you managed to get it out.

lol You and me both.

UPDATE lol Recaro's £650 Turinis + refurb £450 Samco induction hose £45 Painting Diamonds & Bullets £55 Oil & service items £120 Head unit + adapters £280 RS Tuner + unlock/cal £120 Pair of handbrake cables £55

F1's if your car is low enough to carry off 15's. If not keep your Turinis.

Looks superb. Getting my cup turinis powdercoated on Tuesday. Can't wait to get them on the car. Long live the sheep.

Not for me. But I'm a sheep.........

As others have said I had a look around making use of the discounted entry fee. I thought it was worth the money and enjoyed it but wouldn't go again unless there was an extensive change of exhibits.
