Bosh the YouTube links in too, apologies for video two I forgot to edit it down as ran on in the pits and then cba redoing upload, lol.

Mint day at Mallory other day, gear linkage let me down in the end but overall the cars back and feeling f**king excellent!

Another one to watch for now too is the aux belt pulley/harmonic damper delaminating and having a similar effect

Airbox support was no issue, I just bolted through that bracket then the cover so the support is on the outside of the cover. Stock air feeds I just chopped the arch in the side of the cover larger to clear them

Epic day yesterday at Mallory, for now quick pic of the car in road and 'race' trim and link to YouTube video of a few laps including dice about with my mate Dan in his Red F4R powered mk1. Car handled a peach, so happy it's back performing as it should. Just need to start trusting my brakes...

Put a cage in, full track car now the Meganes the daily 😉

Sounds like a leak that's led to fustiness and if worse in boot could be the rear grommets or similar. AA,above, rip boot carpets etc all out and see

Looks mint matey and no worries, anytime

For track standard tried and tested is 7J as fitted from factory to truly avoid any issues

Plus what model

I get rarity and appreciation etc, but my resounding memory of the phase 2 V6 was blowing the doors off my mates one with my low boost mk1 Clio about 14 years ago. They're a catastrophically bad car in stock form, can't corner, can't accelerate, just comedy slow and lumbering. That memory has...

You won't regret it, mines still doing me proud

Just with a hamster driving the wheels, thus negating completely which wheels are driven 👌

Funny looking Clio that mate

Looks like it's going to be loud!

Fair enough although iirc the 6th makes very little difference at cruise as the 197 are short geared to improve acceleration to overcome all that extra mass that makes them feel refined...or disconnected depending on how you look at it. However they sit on a bloody brilliant chassis, absolutely...

Welcome, you may find you get a really lovely 182 for that budget which IMO is the better car

Welcome, older cars? No idea what you mean..

They're painted, no idea with what a I bought them off chap on here years ago who I believe did it

Couple from a wash other day, paint is so badly marred, needs a buff at the very least like you wouldn't believe! Raised the ride height too and drives so much nicer.... Doesn't look as cool though, flol

I'm about 6.5K into the oddy now including mods and purchase cost of the car.... So yeah, money gets spent! Lol

Did you not find the circlip to remove as I suggested?

As the car is currently in daily use I elected to insert the adjusters into the rear spring platforms and raise the ride height around 15-20mm all round. Just to make the car slightly more comfortable and chuckable for the day to day usage. Also gave her a wipe with a rag and sealed the...

Common fault that one the old alternator harness snaperoo

Brakes squeal like a bastid so I've ordered some Mintex 1144 for road use, hopefully that'll make it manageable. Also a sidelight blew so swapped those out for new. Nothing else new to report really, just counting down the days to Mallory

Probably quite rare as they'll be late registered cars basically they gave away as the mk3 was being sold. Build date could be anytime though, may of sat about years

Andy (Snappy) sorted me a new gear gaiter, oem+ approach again so went alacantra with white stitching and moved the stitch from the front which the stock one had to the rear so you can see it. Next job is the handbrake cover to match. Old original New Fitted

Welcome, introduce away

Unsurprising really, to me that says people who've owned it in past haven't kept it long and as such probably unlikely to be project thread or similar kind of folks
