mmmm CSL. Common as Corsas at KFC they were.

I remember reading ages ago about the turbo nuts coming loose. Looked like a right pain to just tighten them up with the clearance.

Although I've been following this for quite a long time I've just been a silent observer. Really have done a cracking job on the car, one of only a few people who haven't done a drive in drive out boost build which is great to see. Much inspiration to progress to boost but hopefully without the...

That's a sign from the car gods.

Have you done him for attempted murder yet? Thought I saw this on FBI files earlier. Surely this is criminal damage or vandalism? I suggest driving past with a medieval catapult on a trailer and launching rocks back.

Not holding back on this are you Stu! All guns blazing!

I've got Clip. Can always pop down if you want.

The farm clio is now forsale! £250 takes it. Think it's on about 160k now, doesn't use any oil, turbo is still great. Has signs of early fuel pump failure. Sunroof leaks unfortunately. Interior still in great condition now! MOT until may, can't think of a reason why it wouldn't pass. Had new...

Yeah they went at the weekend, OZs from my old DCI for cheap tyres. No no, chopped it down to 5" after.

Glad to see Sam's ph1 about! Also really great to see a non 172 or 182 project thread for once!

When I first started working in total loss I wrote off every single one of these bonnet catches I ever saw if it'd hit the roof. After time they showed up less and less frequently.

It's the best way of checking tracking! You just measure how far the front and back of the wheel are from the line to see what toe it's got. The next car is up for discussion here, likely a BMW of some form though I think. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/upgrade-time-soon-%C2%A310k-budget.790761/

Just a small update on the car. Not much point in putting up a project thread as the car is just a stop gap. I've been through the SH now and it had the same owner from new until about 130k with what appears to be a no expense spared approach which is great. Even brake and coolant fluid changes...

That was me in the other 182.

@Dr Jekyll Me too matey but on the budget these were irresistible ;) get some discount when I order my roof scoop too :D Can't say I attached pipes or deflector plates to the back though as on the first outing the brakes came in almost on fire ha.

Yes washer is required. Fairly certain it goes on the bottom though. It's a rather thick one. If I remember I'll measure up the mount I have in the garage tomorrow. Remind me.

There are two types of CMComposite ones. Cup racer replica ones. I got these ones for £70 IIRC brand new. They fit a 75mm pipe on the back.

This is absolutely insane Steve. A lot of inspiration in here on how to do some seriously great mechanical changes to a car.

Motorcare in Tunbridge Wells should be able to help failing Renault. Their manufacturer approval list is possibly the best in the country.

I'm going to chime in here with a slightly different question so I hope the OP doesn't mine. Rough cost of getting a SD 6 pointer fitted? I can do all the prep work, just not the welding.

Don't do that mate PS: Wheels = sexy Bay looks so nice and clean. I'll have me a bit of that. Danke

I posted a link to the vid but not the textual explanation behind it all :)

This just popped up on my feed too. Damn mighty car mods making me crave haltech http://www.haltech.com/knock-control/

This is what I was talking about on Saturday Dave. Not sure whether mini factory ECUs have this functionality built in but may be worth a bit of research. It definitely was an interesting watch none the less.

What doesn't look right to you mate? It looks OK to me if your car has A/C. Not that it would make a difference unless the A/C wire was activated anyway. I'll try and get a screen shot of mine next time I visit my car although that could be a couple of months at least.

Such an easy thing to do in a cup and of all the things that could happen 2 momento tyres and a great video of a flying stick are a good laugh! I must be most of the views on the video :tongueout: Great to meet you yesterday Keith and as I hope I said many times, really appreciate you taking me...

Yes! that £23 a month is a quarter of a track day in 2 months! Mine has been off the road for months, it's really good at gathering dust. If I had the money though I would rebuild the engine myself to learn about it, have a full cage fitted, rebuild the box and boost it. I'd also love to...

Low ball joints, had something similar on my car, used to wander and veer all over the place thans to probably 10mm movement. Also had something similar on another car which turned out to be a combination of terrible tyres and the tracking marginally out.

Ren stopped what she was saying to say how good that second photo is!

I'm still running mine with no problems. Admittedly I've done barely any miles in the car but have done one track day with it. The only thing I would like to change is having some proper spreader plates welding in but other than that it's very good for the money.
