Can anyone recommend where to buy a cheap cat? Like this. https://www.cats2u.co.uk/renault/32606-renault-clio-20-12-03-11-05-catalytic-converter-re6051t.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA7qP9BRCLARIsABDaZzgkq5grZoop4oYXgUpBl7bPVUpNNltli_s2xcarG9IN-rpISP8E3ncaAnZFEALw_wcB Just want to make sure it's decent...

Don't be too put off mate. Okay, this is a rather large 'blip' in the road but overall, these cars are super cheap to run and maintain if you're handy with a spanner. Best value for money cars on the road imo. Sorry to see its giving you grief at the moment but once it's sorted and you can put...

Just read through the entire thread! Looks absolutely immaculate mate! Nice inspiration for mine for sure.

Nice work mate! Massive transformation from when you first collected it. What wheels are you thinking? Anyone other than the standard 182 alloys is an improvement imo, horrible looking things.

I was never keen on silver 172/182s but I'm a changed man now. I think it suits them so well!

Not exactly, 130k. But drives well and has decent history.

Not surprised there! It's at home here with the country roads in the peak district. Thanks, Whipped it off and repainted it mate, just using cheapo VHT paint. Happy with how it came out.

Took it for a quick spin through the peak district today. Absolutely stoked with it, I dare say it out-handles my old 172 Cup but this is spec'd considerably better so it's not that all suprising.

As promised back in 2018, I'm back in the game. Picked up this nicely modified 182 a couple of weeks ago, properly happy with it so far. Quick spec as follows Induction Kit K Tec Exhaust Pure Motorsport Strut Brace Whiteline Anti-roll bar BMS Shifter Corbeau Clubsports Turn 1 Wheel Turinis...

That's a bargain considering the price of the speedlines alone. Nice find.

I've had two GTi's, epic little cars. I see them in just the normal places really. See them popping up on ebay here and there. Probably around 3 - 4k for a well-spec'd one with a strong shell. The 106s are few and far between though

Cant believe nobody has mentioned a Saxo VTS yet. The few nice GTi's that are left are just beginning to creep out of that budget, but you can get a properly well-sorted VTS easily.

Are the arrows on the camber bolts in the right position? For example, looking from the front of the car, if the bolt on the driver's side is at 9 o'clock, then the bolt on the passenger's side should be at 3 o'clock, so they would be pointing towards each other. If one was at 6 o'clock then the...

You think I'd know how to upload photos by now...

Back in the game after a couple years out! Needs a couple of jobs doing - engine bay tidy being the first. Cosmetically it's not a mint example by any means, otherwise it's a really well sorted car with a decent spec. It's pretty nippy around the b-roads, to say the least. Ktec decat Pure...

Great looking car mate, that's some colour! I think it's crying out for some wheel spacers though.

It's not unbearable by any means. My cup was my daily and it didn't really bother me. Gave it more of a race-car feel ha. But that was just the lower gearbox mount, I can't speak for the others.

Looking great fella! Are you planning on putting the front plate back on? Need to remove the tape if not! 100% invest in a lower gearbox mount if it hasn't already got one, there's a noticeable increase in cabin vibrations but completely worth it. The feel through the gear lever is so much sharper.

Nice, I bought it straight from Constella who did a lot of work on it for him over the years. I did replace my rusty cobalt GTi with it , if thats what you're referring to?

Sold it late 2017 to a chap down south who builds race cars. He only bought it because it was a mint caged shell, it was stripped and he sold the rest of the parts. Don't know what it's doing now sadly. It was an ex 400hp turbo hence the plate. Fast car featured etc... so had a lot of history!

Sorry, just read you've worked on saxos before etc so you likely know your stuff better than me!! Project looks great though.

Had a couple of 106s myself a few years back. God I miss em. I wouldn't worry too much about new exhaust wrap smoking for a while, mine did the same. Probably just oil/dirt from your hands when you fitted it. Also I feel your pain about the cam ladders. They're actually made out of chocolate...

Just love love love the full Aero kit on MK3's, this one looks absolutely spot on in LY and with the Turinis!

wow, I drove past shaganappi just a couple of weeks ago on my way to the airport! Probably drove right past your street. Small world. I can remember because there's just something about that name....

If you're going up against a modern hot hatch such as the Fiesta.. Why not also go for a low boost engine rather than bodies? For 18k I'd be wanting heated seats and a great sound system as well. Not just a track car.

Great news, happy for you!

I'm massively relieved to hear you haven't been charged much as of yet, as I was going to make the same point as @Starlet_gt in my first comment but it was already dragging on a little. As you've tried to stress over this thread, there's a huge amount of work required, I do understand that...

Just scrolled back through this thread, it's been almost exactly a whole year since it got to Diamond Motors now? Something's just not right.

Don't come on this forum much anymore bit I like keeping an eye on this thread. Anyway, It seems like Mick is kinda taking the piss to be honest, there's just no way it should be taking this long. Not when the guy supposedly knows Clio's like the back of his hands and has got surely got...
