That's the plan @OssPoop, blackmail is probably going to be a necessary negotiation technique based on the picture posted earlier :)

If there's any space left I'm in. Put myself down as maybe until you confirm there's space for me and my 182

Indeed mate, my budget will require ALOT of hope!

Nearly @imprezaworks, I was so sold on Koni's after talking to @car.crash, might Koni the rear and stick nice coilies up front... or I might not.

Oh... Balls! Still keen to have a pax ride in yours @car.crash to see how they feel

@182_steve, it turns out it was s**t installation, one of my d-brackets fell off meaning only 1 d-bracket on the passenger side that was securing the arb to the sway bar! Removed are until a new arb bracket arrives

Thanks mate, I'll take a look :)

Yo Clio friends, I'm back again to update on the Clio and my continued issues with organisation, memory and general aptitude for anything other than writing s**t. It's been a slow few weeks, there's a very good reason for that which I will get to later (scroll down if you prefer to just find...

Booked her in to see @markfishy tomorrow to get the belts and dephaser done. Looking forward to getting her back and continuing with the amatuer fettling at home :)

The inside diameter is 85mm, if it's just the u-bolt you need, this should work: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tractor-U-BOLT-CLAMP-HANGER-85MM-M8-X4-PACK-TM9422-/321597910052?hash=item4ae0baac24:g:PnUAAOSwofxUdI8G

Clarke sell it but also, you can get them on eBay for a very small amount of dollar.

I'm back to answer my own question: http://clarkmotorsport.net/parts/Anti-Roll-Bar---U-Bolt-Mount-Bracket/Universal/KU2 Bloody expensive but not been able to find this elsewhere.

I have a Whiteline ARB fitted and recently lost one of the d-brackets that secures the ARB to the Clio's sway bar: I've contacted a few Whiteline distributors and can't seem to get the part sold seperately. I'm not happy moving my 1 remaining bracket to the middle so hoping to get a replacement...

When I fitted mine on 20mm it seemed a little too much. I prefer 10-15mm but it's all down to individual taste when on the road.

You sir are a badass! Another amazing update :up:

Nightmare @Davyy!! Take her out for a spin when all is sorted to remind you why we do this to ourselves...

:tongueout:

I'm short but my wipers don't seem tall to me at all... you must be sooper short! :tongueclosed:

Life is all about "sad car men"! I'm in the process of moving back to Stanley which is almost Leeds! Will get more active on the regional thread when the move is imminent but loving this thread mate, you have similar challenges to me, will be keeping a close eye on this :)

This is an epic build, I feel privileged to be able to watch the progress. I bet you can't wait to get this onto the ground!

I've not experienced anything untoward yet although there is a small noise over bumps at the back... not sure if normal or s**t installation

I attacked a few roundabouts after installing it and there's a definite reduction in understeer, a load more grip. I was surprised at the difference it makes to the handling actually. Well worth it based on my experience so far but I'm looking forward to getting into track to test it properly.

I've been resisting the urge to pull the credit card out and spunk it on some Gaz's for a few weeks. This will at least distract me for a bit... These little cars can become very expensive if we're not careful! But you're right @Dr Jekyll that Cooksports (which is what I meant when I said...

Good to know, thanks @imprezaworks and @Dr Jekyll I'll take a look at them. I expect I'll end up either staying on Apex or move onto Eibachs as the cost of coilies is quite prohibitive... as much as I'd love them!

Ideally Gaz, I have experience with them and they were great. I'm struggling with the Apex partly because I've come from coilovers so my expectations are out of sync with reality!

Crashy as hell, I have to take avoiding action everytime I see a pothole or a pebble. They're ridiculous. I've been on track with them twice and they're pretty s**t... it's on my list of upgrades but I haven't decide between Eibach spring or coilovers yet. I'm so glad to read this, I often...

Cheers dude, it's been a testing learning process so far but very worth it!

My old VX220 had a tiny steering wheel, the Clio feels ridiculous in comparison. The 280 is probably just right in my books

I love that photo, you clearly have a great night rig!

Happy New Year followers of my attempt at a project. I hope you made some life changing resolutions that you’re going to work hard to keep… I made a resolution once, I resolved to get fit by going on a diet and swimming twice a week. It was during my first swimming session a few days letter...
