I took a trip over to Croft in Little Bluey after dropping out of my track day due to injuring my back. I'm on the mend, but I was quite peeved as it was my last one for this year.
It was a bit of short notice, and unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone to take my place, which is a shame...
I’m surprised how any of these cars fetch this type of money without pictures of the underneath.
There’s a Green 205 1.9 GTi parked next to mine at the storage unit. It's a standard car but it's in a sorry state of decay. It's been sitting there for 20 years, and despite my efforts, the owner...
Ah, just reread your original post. They supplied the hubs and you pressed them in. Gotcha!
No sympathy for you then 😂
Probably pushed in too far then. Does the hub snag on anything?
Hmmm never known them to be that tight, but I’ve only ever had two sets done. I would imagine they’d be fine and soon settle in, but I’m sure others can chime in. What did Fred say?
Not as bad as some that I've seen so you might just get lucky.
Get some Bilt Hamber products like Surfex-HD, DEOX Gel, Hydrate-80 and some Dynanx S50 wax or similar if you haven't already - https://bilthamber.com/product-category/anti-corrosion/

You don't need a Clio specialist for this job - just a reliable exhaust centre.
My local exhaust centre welded a new flange in place while the car was on the lift. It was a straightforward job.
If you're up for fitting the exhaust yourself, it's not too hard. I followed a guide on the PMS...
One last thing...if you do opt for the PMS System, get this gasket kit as it's the only one worth buying and seals it perfectly - https://k-tecracing.com/products/aftermarket-clio-2rs-manifold-to-cat-fitting-kit
You might have to wait 100 years for it to arrive though lol
Depending on how bad it is, you may be able to get a new flange welded onto the manifold - see picture.
I got mine from a member on here but the name escapes me now, but stick a wanted post up - use my picture by all means :)
I got my local exhaust centre to weld it on.
If not, you should...
I know what you mean. I did a half lap of shame when my bonnet went through my screen.
Well, you can at least sleep knowing you’d pulled a decent gap on him.
Span there myself a few years back in the wet, cold tyres coming straight out of the paddock. I went the other way onto the grass and miraculously managed to keep it out of the barrier. Hope it's a simple fix.
I've found @Touring_Rob to be incredibly helpful. Though we've never met, I've seen enough of his posts to form that opinion. I wouldn't judge him based solely on how he types a reply – we've all rushed through responses when we're short on time but still want to help.
I recall a time when...
Are people still fanatical about Apple since Cook took over?
My first Apple computer was a G3 iMac in Bondi Blue - I still have it. Then, I got a G3 desktop - I still have that too. I continued through G4 and G5 models before transitioning to MacBooks and iMacs - I still have some of those as...
Well, they're racing and are brutal. I think my current car has a standard clutch that's running 226 hi-comp engine, so it's not a given that it'll go.
I haven't pushed mine yet to be fair.
