I drove the Clio today and.... It only drove absolutely spot on! No rattles, no banging, went in all the gears, idles, stops, it even goes in a strait line after having all 4 corners removed, happy days! EPAS is working well atm which is also a relief. It’s going to be an interesting week...

So this is the week I should be able to use the Clio as a road car again. Today I’ve set about the final prep for it going for some finishing bits at the mechanics tomorrow and an MOT on Tuesday. I’ve managed to source some terminal covers for the battery at last incase anything falls on it...

This week i’m fitting and checking a few little things ready for the MOT. I’m working through a list in preparation. I think it’s all ready 🤞 I’ve sourced some internal covers for the manual mirrors to help keep the interior tidy. The Clio’s off for some final items at the mechanics (i’ll...

Yeah but this car sits between race car, garage queen, fake race car, a beat up old Clio, a track car and many other things but ultimately a car I care about so it’s always a compromise. Remember I’ve driven a rattly old 182 race car and I’d rather sacrifice 0.1s a lap and lug around a few extra...

Ticking the jobs off the list ready for the MOT. First up I now have no airbag light on because I’ve obviously got all the airbags working....... Next up I remapped the car with RS tuner. Must say the cold idle is massively improved. The cat’s back in ready for the MOT. The windscreen...

Cheers but that’s for a PH1. I manage to source an extract of one. Turns out black tape is the answer

Hi Has anyone got a link to the instrument panel wiring for a PH2 Clio? I'm trying to locate the airbag light wire and oil warning light wire. Any help would be appreciated Cheers Chris

Still busy with the Clio. The new heat shield is now in place I had some ST steel brackets made for the fire extinguisher nozzles so they’re all finished now I’ve changed out the front brakes as the old ones were pretty worn.... I went with DS1.11s again as I rate them and they lasted...

Slicks, £100 job done

Cheers, I run have the standard setup so can’t help you with that

RS Tuner arrived at long last 🙄 But the good news is it’s exactly what I needed. With the wife in the car activating the solenoids and pressing the pedal and me outside collecting the fluid the bubbles gushed out! Now I have a very firm brake pedal 😀 With the car then on the floor I only...

A couple of updates but no progress with the actual Clio of sorts. That hasn’t moved but... The silver 16’ TD1.2s are sold. This wasn’t planned but the intention was to put some rainsports on them. A set of Oz F1s came up having just been refurbished and with brand new rainsports on them so a...

Hi Yes the silver ones are 16’. The 2118s are 15’ Cheers

A few changes on mine... I’ve finished the engine bay so it now matches the car with anthracite and yellow I have some new wheels for road driving Finally I’ve had the 2118s refurbished from white to liquid yellow 😳

Cheers! Feels so close but so far atm. I literally can’t wait to drive it now 👍

I don’t know the offset without looking tbh. They’re 16’ and off of the blue car I raced. I bought them off of Russ who owns the blue car. They look big at the front atm as the 20mm spacer is still on there from the 15’ wheels.

Cheers! Yeah now it’s looking like a car again it definatly re lights the desire to get it finished. I was a bit worried about the 2118 colour but it’s a track car so colours are allowed?!

There’s a lot to read! My aim was to go to the Clio festival this year but I’ll aim for next year now. It’s still has two seats so anyone’s welcome at any trackday tbh. There’s a lot faster and better ones out there and they’re probably better driven 😂. Cheers

Cheers! I try to have a good attention to detail but I also do a good job of hiding the rusty bolts with camera angles 😂 The LY looks better in real life TBH and should look even better on a race track and not on my drive! Cheers again

Cheers, tbh at times I feel like I’m talking to myself 😂 Next up is new pads and discs for the front, alignment/corner weighting, MOT and finish all the little bits. My aim is to put a few road miles on it and then a trackday (or evening) at Bedford in preparation for the Ring trackday in...

Cheers & thanks! I’m still a little way away from completion but it’s great to having it st least looking like a car again. I’m looking forward to driving it next!

My 2118s are back and they’re now liquid yellow with anthracite stickers to match the graphics!

Cheers guys there seams like several good options 👍

Hi I've just received my Speedline 2118s back from powder coating and they're obviously looking great. What's the best paint sealant out there to stop them aging with brake dust. Cheers in advance Chris

I bolted the panels back on mine yesterday after an 11 month rebuild. It’s good to have it looking like a car again

Cheers! It’s been a long hard slog but at last I can see the end line and see the results 👍

Here’s my effort. I’m under no illusion it’ll stay like this

C5EAD version 3.0 done* *Apart from all the fettling bits

I’ve never had an issue with it and it’s been there along time. Cheers

Tyres are here and the wheels should be ready Tuesday. I’m looking forward to getting them on the car. Pulled another all day shift today. I’ve had to pull the fuel tank out to check for corrosion*. Good job as there was some behind it. That’s all cleaned up and painted now. Now I can get in...
