Fantastic pics Graham, glad to see you getting some proper enjoyment from it after all your hard work :)

How many miles had it done before being subjected to full load mapping?

To be fair, i think its pretty well priced considering it has the thick end of £15k of dampers, brakes and wheels hanging off it.

Still looks great despite the odd battle scar mate. Just shows she’s used and loved. Quality update as usual, shame you couldn’t do the diff just yet. But it’s more than understandable to need to hold off for now. It will feel so nice when that fresh box goes in. When the wheels get refreshed...

Not bad. But I’m back in the realms of dicking about hunting for wheels nobody stocks or can supply. Simply not worth the agro for a non forged wheel.

Whilst i agree with almost everything you've said there. I drive it every single day and every day i feel the weight of the 2118s with every single steering input. They look cool but you really do notice it and you can feel how much harder the damper is having to work to control them. Maybe it...

I think my cars low till i park near you. Then it looks like a tractor :D

Bloody low :D

Personally i think they look cool, but the weight is what bothers me. Correct 20kg of unsprung mass is alot. But its the rotating mass i think is the biggest gain. Of the two i think the ATS would suit the car better but i love the RPF1s too. I can only find a pic of 1 clio on RPF1s and its on...

So hard to decide so wrote em all down :D Agree the ATS look superb and lots of the guys run them at the Ring, also used for the Fiesta ST cup. Just convincing myself to spend out on a 15kg weight loss when i could easily have a 20kg weight loss. I thought writing it down would provide some...

More than anything this is just for fun and may be of interest to anyone doing similar: So im still digging for wheels which are both lighter than the 2118s (not hard) and that i actually like the look of. I've tried really hard and still am to get a sensible price for a set of forged JDM...

Looks great as is on the Turinis though :)

Now down to £4k on Faceache. Dropped 20% of the price in a week! To quote the seller previously "Dont low ball me, i know what i have and i know what its worth" #Genius

So, An issue with the sourced rims has meant im back to the drawing board. Apologies 🙈

Ha, RB, PB, LY get all the attention, poor little infernos are well overlooked. Mine on its 15” 2118 summers and it’s 16” Turini winters.

That looks lovely. So nice having a clean space to work. 🙂👌🏼

Obviously. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Apologies, my dumb ass wasn’t thinking when I responded. Lol. Custom set? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124030168869

So I’ve done something either pretty great or pretty stupid tonight. Ive only gone and bought a set of wheels that I would otherwise usually describe as ugly and fucked... but have potential. I must be mad. 😅 But... they’re made of the good stuff. 😏👌🏼

Do they have to be alloy?

Annoying isn’t it. 😅

I genuinely wouldn’t give you £500 quid for it. The only thing that makes it PF any interest is the colour and lets be honest. The paint is fucked. So after that it’s a 182 with no belts, no history and has clearly been treated poorly thoughout and even worse by our Mike Brewer wannabe. I’d say...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Clio sit so right as the way yours does Steve. Looks absolutely superb back on the Turinis.

Yep. I bought mine at 8k miles old and sold it to a friend after 4.5 years at 84k miles. Stupidly i sold it for a Mini JCW GP1 which was the biggest HOS going. Totally overrated piece of junk. Missed my Clio from the moment it went. Eventually bought back my original 182 from my friend last...

In addition to that , Ian at Carbotech is super helpful. :)

I dunno what to say to that. So what percentage does that put me in? 🤷‍♂️:p

Personally, i hate 2500s with a passion. I use Pagid RS29 front and RS4-2 rear. Daily driven and nothing but great breaking performance with no issues. Work from cold, get better with temp, great disc & pad life. Only downside is theyre dusty and a bit expensive.

Vibratechnic :)

The funny thing is, the vast majority of people buying Clios want gold for brass money so wouldnt pay anywhere near that price for one. The Clio people that are happy to pay handsomely for a nice one wont buy it because its a shitter for 200yds away. So god knows who he thinks hes going to sell...

Assuming the KTR ones are just a sticker on a VT mount? Cant see them being any different in shore rating can they?

Not as much as all that coolant cost him! :D
