Thanks@bashracing!

Took a photo of the old girl on my new camera at the weekend, did a bit of editing. No new plans for car at the moment. Loving it as it is.

I'd have to disagree with @ForcedIndia, I see the logic behind what your saying however owning a boosted Clio isn't the ball ache it's made out to be. People don't post on forums moaning that their cars are working well - only when they're broken. Mines had the ED kit on it since December 2015...

Personally I prefer the darker photos.

Perhaps, however I was under the impression your mpg reading will be way out because of the larger injectors. Mine reads 38 too but that's sure as hell not what I get when I add it up myself.

I believe so. Mine seems to run very rich. Is there anything I can get to help improve mpg then?

Not really. I'd say I'm pretty relaxed driving it these days. It's always been really bad on fuel. Hence why I now daily a DCI. I assumed 250 miles to a tank or a little more was normal from speaking to a few others

Actual mpg on the ED kit is more like 26/27. Works out at about 250miles to a tank on average for me.

As above I wouldn't go any higher than 250bhp if you want reliability. I've seen a few clios running that or above that eat gearboxes and constantly seem have issues - if the moaning Facebook statuses are anything to go by. I've been running low boost 230bhp/235lbft for about 14 months now and...

I've noticed more feedback or vibration through the wheel on rougher roads but just as smooth of a ride on newer ones. Sometimes they can feel more crashy / bouncy on more challenging b roads but I think that's just because they're firmer. Personally I like them as my cars just a toy I use at...

Haha. Alright when I get round to it i'll post the sizes here.

What do people reckon on using stainless steel bolts for the engine mounts etc? Just want to replace a few under the engine bay as it's looking a little tired.

:cool: Cheers buddy. Will keep an eye out for yours.

Fitted the Grams springs from Kam Racing today... initial impressions are really good. They've dropped the car a little more and handle really nicely. I've had Cooksports before on my old Cup so decided to try something different but i'd liken them to Cooksports in terms of ride/handling. The...

Thanks mate, appreciated it! was just heading out for a spin after fitting the new springs

Grams lowering springs ordered today... should have them on this weekend. I'll get before and after photos seeing as there's virtually none I can find for anyone else considering them. Can't wait

Yes @BoostedSi, wheels fit but there's less than 4mm clearance. Wheels are ET43 and i'm running 280mm discs with 10mm spacers. I'm pretty sure the 4 pots have had some machining down to fit. Not up until now @imprezaworks , just had a look. Current Eibach Pro's state a 15mm drop and these are...

Cheers mate. Couldn't agree more. I don't think cooksports will quite cut it tbh, so coilovers are on the cards next.

Haha I thought they'd divide opinions! they're in the garage for whenever I fancy another change...

Thanks @Dr Jekyll. Was a fan of the Turini's but was getting a little bored tbh.

Yes mate but planning on keeping them as spares

So a few updates on the car, it's still going well. Passed MOT with no advisories last month.. happy days! Everything is going well with the turbo kit but the clutch started to slip really badly so i've had a Helix Organic clutch fitted by ED which is actually really nice to drive.. it handles...

Would be up for this too if my clutch slip doesn't get any worse!

Yes.

That's pretty interesting. On my documents with Greenlight my Cup is down as being valued at £7k. Only took the policy out a few months ago but whether or not that's agreed i'm not sure. It's not a figure I plucked out of the sky though, that's what I feel it would cost me to get another in the...

I would but i've grown attached to my knob since I resprayed it and tarted it up with a new decal off of ebay

I might look at getting it removed then to be honest. I really don't have the money to start refurbishing gearboxes and given that it makes no real difference it's better to be safe than sorry.

I only have one fitted because I like the way it feels... lol. I really couldn't care less about shifting quick, that's why I have a turbo to compensate for my boring driving. So what I can take away from this thread is that despite me shifting slowly it's going to eventually ruin my poor...

Sold my first Cup back in early 2013. Huge regret. As soon as I was in the market for another car I got a Cup again. Never selling this one.

Mines not even running 100% at still returns 55mpg with mostly town driving. I did a month of mostly 50mph B roads and got 640 miles to a tank. Really economical cheap cars.
