This will be my first attendance in an actual French classic/performance car :)

I'll be there

Downloading whilst I'm at work

He loves it @imprezaworks! Loves to get involved and his hands dirty, much to the dismay of his mother :)

Ah, I remember looking at that car. It's lovely :)

Amazing, lovely colour

Amazing, I'll be there on Saturday now too. Deposit paid :)

Looking forward to getting on track soon on the T1-Rs, I'll use and abuse them before upgrading next summer. Air Intake: This week I mainly focused on diagnosing and then fixing the rough idle when cold. Having done much lurking on the subject, I decided to tackle the throttle body as a likely...

Solved this issue: By buying and fitting new calipers...

Yeah, I know the feeling mate, with your budget, they'll be stuff do on the cars you are looking at so I'd recommend getting to know the cars and the common/major jobs. I took 26 days from being ready to buy to driving home in my Clio and saw quite a few. I've got a project thread up which lists...

Welcome, I was in your shoes 1 month ago, enjoy the search and I'm sure you'll find a good Clio.

Just checked the rules - I hadn't realised we could "name and shame" on CS.net. @imprezaworks nailed it!

Oh :( Oh well, I'll give them some abuse and upgrade next summer :)

Sunday-update time! I've been working through the list of actions I want to take and I actually drove it a few times too! Brake Caliper Refurb, pt. 2: It's been a busy-ish week of car stuff. I wanted to prioritise the brake calipers this week so focused on that issue initially. I took the...

Yes, he may sell the wheels but doesn't know what price to put them up at.

I spotted that, I signed up as part of the club, we have 11 cars attending! Ticket printed, looking forward to it :)

I'll try and arrange a family visit to Yorkshire for the weekend of 25th. I'll sign up if I can get one of my family members to put me, my wife and little boy up for the weekend :smile: ETA - well that was easy - I'm in!

I recently posted a set of wheels for sale from 1anbad15 on ebay, he made me aware of his 172 up for sale. It's had A LOT of work done to it. Looks like a ready made track car and priced as such: Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262602277415 As per my other thread, he has a set of 15" Speedline...

nice vehicle, welcome!

Double Clio! Nice Progress @OssPoop You did well to make the "no mod" rule last for just over 2 months and you are right, it's absolutely the best colour :smirk: I was just getting to know my little orange emissions light but my cat arrived today so I'll be saying bye to my little orange...

I've been talking to this chap from Folkstone on ebay about his wheels. They're Speedline 2118's with Yokohama Neova AD08R tyres with a good amount of tread, desribed as having 80% of the tread left. They're out of my budget for trackday wheels but he's not on Clio Sport so thought I'd post...

Thanks @Budgie I'll have another go :)

That's right @OssPoop! Thanks dude, I would probably be interested in these actually, anything would be better than the Apex springs which I'm sure are great on track but not so great on NW London roads! A short update; I'd not planned on doing any work on it today but then I did some work on...

Thanks for the comments guys :smile: I've taken a look at a couple of threads and YouTube videos, I'll give it a refurb and see how it goes... another bullet point added to the project list! @pastymaster - clips ordered, thank you :smile: After my last post I got into it and ended up doing...

I've been quite busy this morning but took a moment to raise the car and work out which of the wheels was not spinning freely. Culprit found, my front drivers-side brake caliper has seized, I suspect a rusty piston is to blame: I've now got to make the decision, do I refurb them or do I get...

Great, thanks Scott. 1 less thing to do :)

Thx @Davyy , I'll find some capped bolts and fix it in properly. I thought they were originally held in with plastic clips but I'd be happier with bolts.

Life after my VX220 went to it's new home was bleak, I spent days lying in my bed, staring blankly at Judge Judy or Storage Wars lacking any interest in life and I ate A LOT of Walkers Ready Salted crisps... Then, I thought "f**k it, life is a steaming pile of turdballs without a fun car in it"...

Thanks @Knuckles and @Jeff simply! I would get it changed anyway based in this.

Interesting read, I'm looking at Clio's at around this mileage and read a few similar threads to this which put my mind at ease. I saw one today with 110k miles which had the belts/pulleys done 2 years/15k miles ago but the engine was making that diesel noise when warm between idle and...
