PERFECT example of what I just posted about you! :) :cool:
I dont wanna be rebuilding boxes and stuff mate....
and yes... I have had ball joints and track rods already! and other stuff like gearbox mount which was cracked everywhere!!!
the parts list is huge!
mark always...
nice vid!
how loud are the ITB's on a cruise?
wheres best place to get them done?
by the way Fred, I really like the way you come across on here. obviously VERY knowledgable and VERY experienced in all things Clio.... but you don't ram it down peoples throats or be a 'know it all' keyboard...
its NOT building it!!! its maintaining it!!!!
I BREAK EVERYTHING!!!!!
that figure includes stuff like new rollcage, new sets of wheels, new seats, harnesses etc etc...
and all marks labour!!! all those little things that you guys take for granted like changing pads or fitting seats or...
been thinking about ITBS since I got it.....
Just don't wanna make the car unreliable though. It has enough power to have fun and without sounding like a flash tw4t... but if I wanna go fast in straight line I have other options in garage. I like being the underdog in the Clio and using my...
LOVE my little Clio!

took an ABSOLUTE f**king BEASTING all day at Combe!!!
and drove there and back BEAUTIFULLY as well!!!
MASSIVE MASSIVE THANKS TO MARK FISH MOTORSPORT FOR ALL HIS AMAZING SET UP WORK ON IT!!!!
and thanks to Mark at...
wow... that 5mm difference in offset is SOOO noticable. Clio looks ALOT less 'fat' with the new ET 43 'Palmersport' spec 2118's on!!!!
much prefer the look of the ET38's!!!!
you have GREAT taste.
Ever read the article in EVO magazine about the 288GTO v F40 v F50 v Enzo?
was lucky enough to go get a go out in a F50 few weeks ago. LOVE THEM!
I did know two people with F50's :) as a friend of mines dad owned both F40 and F50... until he sold F50 YESTERDAY...
Cracked the block... :(
Just needs longstudding... and a WRC multilayer gasket and a rebuild. Pain in the ass... but it will be bombproof engine once these mods are done.
In hindsight I should have done this when I had engine built.... but I was only going for 380bhp at the time and so...
Mark Fish just called. bottom ball joints knackered, power steering pipe broken, driveshafts rubbing slightly... and slightly leaking rear AST shock.
otherwise all ok! apart from Brake pads and tyres but I have those already in stock!
so looking good for Combe!
Get it from Dogsport. They had the Gopro HD is stock
GREAT service, you will have it tomorrow if you order before lunch time.

go for the trackpack if you have a roll bar or cage.

these were the very cams...
Thats the one.
I am doing charity passenger rides in few of my cars.
I'll take you out if you want?
better still... book your clio on dude! think few places left? will certainly be some on the day as all the Fords break down ;)
Just bought it another pressie. a GoPro HD hero cam....
you guys need to witness some giant slaying antics in 1080p HD ;)
and saves me keep taking the Aim smartycam off the Westy...
its already set up superbly my Mark fish... and on 195 section medium R888's.
Just going a touch wider with some different offset wheels and slightly wider but much softer R888's
hahah... yes!
decided that needed sorting actually....
so decided to treat the little car to some proper carbon seats, 5 point harnesses and a Renault sport steering wheel.
I drop it off at Mark Fish motorsport tonight! he is gonna fit all the new stuff and get the car all checked over...
The 205 R888's are all in supersoft compound, don't think you guys will be that happy with the wear rates compared with the normal ones to be honest!
I only have 16 brand new left now anyway. so I suppose thats not exactly lots anyway!
Just bought a set of Speedlines in ET43 from Speedline. They were last anthracites in stock. Arrive thursday
If the tyres rub... its your fault ;)
I am on AST coilovers. Car is pretty low. but not silly.
Lovely sunny day yesterday at Bedford.
Managed to break my Westfield after just 2 laps... that was bad news.
Good news was Clio was faultless and took a REAL beasting all day!
only car to get get past me all day was 996 GT3 mk2 on the straight.... I got back past him...
LOOKS WICKED! I just bought that steering wheel for my clio this morning!
and bought ph1 gearknob few weeks back!
great to see pics.
thanks for sharing :)
Wheels are ET38.
I have LOTS of Toyo 888's in 205/50-15 as I use this size on the front on the Westy...
and wanted to use them on my Clio.
car is pretty low and on coilovers.
any reason why I cant do this?
