small update here
I finally received the wheels center caps, only to find they won't fit and obviously the color don't match.
So i'm in the classic Speedline-wheels-have-different-caps-than-Speedline-made-for-Renault-wheels story, should have checked earlier as it is well documented here. and...
brilliant weekend with the Clio on some amazing roads
putting some kilometers on it but all in all less than the previous owner so that the car is now at 6k miles/year
i still have a not-so-quite-but-nearly-annoying resonance when releasing gas around 4k, it might be coming from the...
took the miss for a ride
could only get to the top of Mt Ventoux by night, was fun though (if you could get past foxes, hinds and wild boars)
then headed further north for some amazing unknown roads, surprinsigly light traffic considering the time of the year
the BG certainly didn't miss...
Fitted some silver Turini's, very happy with the look. still waiting for the wheel center caps...
Anyway, I also bought a new lens which is just soooo nice. some pics :
still waiting for the wheel center caps as the seller was out of stock. someone else is selling some used original ones for twice the price i'm getting them ! just hope they'll be matching nicely the wheel paint.
some crappy dumb phone pics
So today i went to the garage which (hopefully, read on) is very close to my house. With only 3 wheel nuts on the right hand drive wheel, it was meant to be a slow and quiet drive. Nonetheless, as soon as i passed 10mph, I head a regular knocking sound coming from the left side. I stopped and...
i paid 750€ for them mate, from a french performance parts dealer. looking at the boxes and the engraved annotations, i can only guess they're coming from Speedline as Renault don't sell them anymore.
so... i removed the air filter and the exhaust because i was tired of the noise. Under anything bar full throttle, there would be resonances and vibrations from underneath that would screw my hears. Real shame tbh but feels better now. Might buy another one latter as the car now feels coarse...
epic project !
are you running a diff in the megane's gearbox ? also 40kg more at the front can be a drawback on the clio's handling, some weight should be put at the back to get things straight.
i think i'm keener on Silver. there aren't many available right now around me, so still waiting for them to pop up.
the F1's are pretty cool and they're OEM, light and cheap so can't go wrong. it's just sometimes when looking at the car they look smallish (but all 15's do except 2118's)
