I need a decent electric ratchet. I have lots of 3/8 & 1/4 sockets. Any recommendations? Nothing heavy duty.

I'd love to drive that through a muddy puddle 🤣

It sounds like a Utopian Hellscape. I’ll be putting my flags out for when it arrives home.

You’re welcome. When replacing the floor-to-bracket bolts, ensure the bolts have sufficient threading. When I first replaced my rear beam, I bought some bolts from Cromwell to save money. Unfortunately, these bolts didn't have enough thread, so I had to temporarily use a bunch of washers until...

The bolt that goes through the bracket and bush is 7703002732 and uses an M10 bolt. Kam Racing sell them here - https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-rear-bush-retaining-bolt-nut-renault-clio-mk2.html The bolts that go through the floor and into the bracket have captive retainers on them -...

With another track day approaching, I inspected the ITBs to determine the cause of the sticking throttle. With the filter off you can see a fair bit of dirt and sticky residue. A close up. Whipped the trumpets and front plate off for easier access. Used a lint cloth and carburettor...

Avoid a PMS exhaust then. Mine sets off car alarms just reversing slowly off the drive 🙉 And that’s just my stock 182. Strangely it’s only 92dBs @5,500 rpm

A few from Croft. I love this shot with the blurred background. Met a lad and his dad with this PH1. Proper people and the car was really quick. Followed them around for a bit. Arse end shot coming out of Hawthorns and through the Chicane. You have to approach this one just right to avoid...

Brilliant day at Croft, although it wasn’t it without its problems. It rained all the way there, but by the time the fun began, the rain had stopped. The track was damp but gradually drying out. I thought I’d be rolling around the car park puddles but managed to wing a garage. Bought...

One at Croft today, not 1000 bhp, but he was the fastest out there.

As above. I’ve been storing my Clios outside for the last 7 years. Run the fuel down, park them up in October, run the engine in December, ready to go in Spring. Just repeat more often if you’re storing for longer.

It was for my 182 RB restoration. I wanted it back to factory.

They’re fine. My RB had a set when I bought it and I switched back to standard. Hardly noticed any difference.

My @FrogJam Motorsport Corvette brake ducts arrived. Lovely touch with the Froggo (Fred) and Jam (James) pot. Cheers fellas. Came at the right time as I discovered my new ducting on the NS had ripped. I think I left too much length on the end and hadn’t tightened the cable tie enough. It...

On my road going Clio 182s I’ve used the following: Cheap Motrio equivalent - awful pads, zero bite and when it rains or go through a puddle of water, you have zero brakes. Brembo - better than the above but still poor in the wet and not great from cold. Brembo Sport/Plus ( HP2000) - a bit...

I’ve been using it for a while on both my road going and track Clios. No issues and as you say, probably the same stuff. My daughter in law is a scientist so I’m half tempted to give her a few samples of genuine and Febi so she can confirm it.

I've found the DS1.11 trackpads to be the best I've used—durable, as Brigsy mentioned. Dust isn't a real issue, although I am on Black/Grey wheels. Friends who used PBS and DS1.11 trackpads in their Clio for both road and track loved the PBS for value but admitted the DS1.11 outperforms on the...

For posterity, i'll add my current 182 FF in Racing Blue. This isn't/wasn't the cheapest Clio that I have bought, but it's the best standard hot hatch car I'll probably ever own.

I went to Mazda headquarters in Dartford, Kent in the RB last Friday. 520 miles there and back. I’d forgotten to stick my spare wheel in the boot as well as the jack/wheel brace. Yikes! First proper journey over 100 miles since resto and ran beautifully.

My second 182, which I bought 2 months after my first one in November 2017, was a real bargain. At least in my eyes anyway. I paid £2,000 for it, but it only had 79,000 on the clock and came with a brand new Safety Devices RO22 6-point roll cage (unfitted) and brand new ACW windows which were...

Did you manage to get that rear bumper trim on? Difficult to see from pictures.

My first foray into the Clio Sport world was this 54-plate Black Gold 182 FF. This is the day I collected it in Sept 2017. 109,000 miles on the clock and I paid £1,275 for it. It came with an ITG intake which I sold a few days later for £250 so £1,025 using Man Maths. I then spent -...

@ripp - from my suspension post "Switched a couple of bolts for some genuine spares I had lying around. I’ll get a couple of new ones this week ..." The camber bolts were initially fitted to the BC Racing Coilovers, which I've since replaced. A case of using what was available at the time. AST...

Adam Gears is the perfect name in this situation. You eventually won’t be able to select any 😂

Sorry first part of your question. Slipping is when the friction material on the clutch disc wears down. When it becomes too thin, it can no longer grip the flywheel effectively, causing it to slip.

You’ll notice the engine RPMs rising without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. Usually when the engine is under load.

I wouldn’t do anything until it starts slipping. My missus Tucson has 70,000 and that had a high biting point. We had the clutch changed when it also went in for gearbox synchros and the old clutch was in good condition.
