Thanks for all you’re help mate will see how I get on

We’re on the car when I bought it in September mate, am I best off just getting some new pads before the ring? Will grab some pics of them Friday evening and post them in here

*update* just checked the specs from when I bought it they’re actually ds1.11 not ds2500, assuming why they squeal! But will I have done damage by using them everyday or could the brake problem be linked to them not being warmed up or something?

Thanks mate will give that a go this weekend!

Cheers guys will give that a go! How did you get them out? Cut down the middle and tap out? Don’t even know the actual method to get them out watched a couple of videos and no one even bothered trying haha

Cheers guys was hoping it would be something simple, haven’t had it long enough to do brakes on this before but read the pins can be a pain in the arse should I order some replacements?

Right so noticed this really recently, not ideal as I’m off to the ring in 4 weeks. Really hard to explain but hoping someone’s had the same issue, if I brake heavily from say 80/90, the initial bite is ok but then it almost feels like it coming off the brakes and something is blocking it and I...

Yeah I imagine there is pro’s and cons to both, no one wants to shell out all that money to get there and it’s hammering it down, however we were looking into going in about 5 weeks time (mid June) for just a couple of TF evening sessions and paying the 50 odd euros to have an instructor in for...

Ah I was gonna say plenty of room with just 8 haha! Cheers for all the help first hurdle is MOT tomorrow then will get it booked into a specialist for a check over and get the ring booked hopefully! Will have done another 5/6k miles by October mind :ROFLMAO:

Sounds perfect mate is there only 8 people in total then or is that just through circuit days? Thinking this is definitely the best way to go about it! Will you be going this October?

I’d happily pay for the circuit days event, where can I find what’s included in the package or Is it literally just the laps? Any breakdown cover etc, be nice to have a pit with other people out on the same sessions in case something does start to play up

Thanks mate! MOT tomorrow barring any unexpected costs will take a look over the weekend!

Wow thanks for all the replies and advice guys, will take a look at the track day! The idea of being able to go round at 60mph suits me just fine haha!

Cheers guys yeah read a lot about the bills, suppose all I can do is do as much prep and checking as I can and hope I don’t bin it, and take a credit card :ROFLMAO: does anyone take out insurance and breakdown cover or just hope for the best? Cheers!

Hi guys! Hopefully planning a Nürburgring trip in the near future, just thought I’d get as many pointers as I can before booking everything but couldn’t find too many threads on it maybe I’m worrying too much ;) Firstly I’ve never been on track, I’m going more for the experience and a few days...

Never implied otherwise, just said they’re dull. IMO you see so many because of the stupid lease deals and it’s the easy option. INO of course ;)

I saw 4 on the way home yesterday within 15 miles, dull as anything

I’m local to renaultspeed and every time I’ve tried to get quotes from them they’ve made it very awkward and make everything sound like such hard work so not surprised. They quoted me £1700 to do front lower swivels...

Hmm will have to give it a go and see if it stops as I brake but I’m not sure it does. Yeah everything is pointing towards shocks for me unfortunately just need to find the time to get them off and have a look ?

Thanks mate will take a look at the weekend, do get a slight high pitched squeak when reversing very occasionally so maybe linked then! Thanks

Thanks mate will give that a go, yeah the rear is pretty similar to my old 182 from what I can see

Hi guys! So I have a knocking noise on my 200 when going over bumps,hitting bumps, potholes etc! It’s coming from the rear and was certain it was the standard boot latch knock, adjusted the striker plate about 15 times then replaced the actual mechanism as they’re cheap and still no luck...

Full system, 2nd hand obviously, here's the link :) https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-tuning-styling/akrapovic-clio-rs200-evolution-full-exhaust-system/1156638011 Bought and fitted originally by Ktec

No it was the one on gumtree for £650, managed to get it for £600

Cheers guys hopefully collecting one today I'm always a bit worried about buying expensive parts like this second hand though is it better to buy new?

i bought a Clio 200 about 2 weeks ago and my "leaving it as it is" idea hasn't lasted very long. im contemplating getting an akrapovic exhaust for it, was just wondering what people thought of them. Basically are they too loud/ sound good, Worth the money etc etc i have watched a few videos on...

Never knew there was a specialist in north camp! I'm only in camberley so that's good to know :)

My 182 made 172.5 but 156 lb-ft and a nice graph so I'm pretty happy :)

At least it sounded nice! :P On a serious note it could have been worse considering the cat and misfire should see a decent improvement once it's sorted

Thanks for that mate much appreciated. It was getting to the point where it would go into limp mode like every other journey, I do 40 miles a day for work and since cleaning that white plug on Sunday I've had no problems at all touch wood. Unbelievable really haha
