Yep 😃 did it just incase I can sack off work.

If I can get out of work I’m planning to come along

Now turbocharged…. One day this car will be done and used 😂

What value would you guys put on a used gen90? It was bought new by me in April ‘22 and was fitted/mapped by Ktec for an ED low boost setup.

I haven’t seen a valeo clutch at that price since about 2014. Two techs are a good specialist and good guys, spent some time with them when they sponsored a car I used to race. Dick move putting this up imo

Still makes me laugh that the cup in the picture has a tow bar on it

I bought this one for my 172 (but total 182 running gear etc) rear right linked. Fits and works all okay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185076621225?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=pfWVgpugSlK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=OL8M4kwdRPS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

One day she’ll be back together and used.

Now I’ve got you in with my ‘172 cup abs problem’ and you thinking but they don’t have it, mine does as @GrahamS retrofitted it. So the last few track days I’ve done I’ve had an intermittent ABS light appear, ignition reset sorts it. But it’s now grown into a bigger problem. On live data I...

I did think that would be the case 😂 I’ll get one ordered!

😂 typical, was only a tenner of eBay. No doubt it’ll melt again at some point but probably not in my ownership 😂

Fixed the blower motor tonight, had melted the second pin as seems pretty common. New plug and and pin and it’s working on all 4 again 👌🏻 Now I just need to get into the boot, the previous owner said it was dodgy but knew the knack of getting in, I don’t know how he did it yet!!

I’m lucky it didn’t do the rad as well, it made some deep marks on it but still seems water tight!

Ah that’s good to know, thank you! I did read they can get quieter after a regas so I may try that. Also last week the rad fan gave up, think the motor seized and then subsequently overheated. Thanks to @Chode Lint though, new (used) fan fitted and we’re back on the road. I definitely prefer...

Driven it a couple of days to work now, I can see why they’re so popular. Although I think I do still prefer a 182! Couple of questions though: Is this a normal place for the temp gauge to sit? I feel like it’s higher than it should be but could be wrong! Are 197’s prone to have noisy a/c...

Nice one, cheers for that. Will get some ordered! I had visions of them being £50-60 each or something daft.

I picked it up Thursday but still haven’t taken any pictures! The previous owner also sorn’d it the day I picked it up so I wasn’t able to tax it yet. I’ve already given a service a though. Underneath is pretty clean, brake pipes and suspension all good. The wheels are in desperate need of a...

Will do 🙏🏻 knowing me that’ll be in about 3 months

I’ve bought another Clio, as having a cup turbo and 182 wasn’t enough. I’ve fancied a 197 or 200 for a while but didn’t want to commit to selling one of the current ones to potentially find I didn’t like it. A friend of mine actually bought a 197 a couple of weeks ago and once he told me I set...

I would say that’s a uch issue, pretty sure you can get them repaired for not much money

Contact Alan at ACPW Bodyshop near Silverstone does a lot of race cars with good workmanship

You’ve owned the mini as long as I’ve been alive 😅

So happy I can now enter this thread 😂 will be a garage queen for a little bit longer but then will be used!

Thanks Graham, it does look so much better I must say! Definitely got lots of plans and now I’ve got an RB to get stuck into as well. some pics from the last track day at donington before the 1/4 was fixed.

I hope @Joah won’t mind me saying but I am now the proud custodian of this RB. It’s not far away from being track ready at all, so much so I’m hoping to have it on track next month.

Last video Graham made: I’m thinking about making some videos too

I thought I would update on NUP as after 6 and a bit years, the rear 1/4 is fixed. The car is performing great and all being well may be being raced at some point this year (if I stop buying clios!)

Hmm weekend with clios at Anglesey on my 30th birthday think I’ll have to get involved this year
