Good stuff. Wheel bearing seems a strange one as you don’t normally hear or see many issues with those. So are you just doing the remainder of 2021 developing and doing trackdays?

@FPummell How did the Trackday at Croft go?

Good to be back in the old girl again.

I think it’s the need for speed. Thank god I’ve got some trackdays coming up in August to get my fix 🙏

Then I was drooling all over this today. Already had one and sold it after a few months. What is wrong with me 😂🙈

Driving is now effortless but missing the old girl already and it’s only been 2 weeks 🙈

Back in the company lease scheme for 6 months so new car on the way. Took the old girl out for a final drive before tucking her away until 2022. I’ve had a solid offer to buy her which I’m still mulling over, but my heart is telling me to sorn her, then when the lease is up, go and have...

Only one i really know of is the PMS 200 Cell Sports Cat. The caveat being you have to purchase the exhaust as well. If you go down the route of the decat drop me a pm as i have one lying around in the garage.

Never been to Caffeine & Machine but has always been on the bucket list. Not much going on in the Yorkshire/North East section so might just come down on me tod anyway. Will i be the only one in Clio Sport then :ROFLMAO:

Finally managed to source a few more Yokohama A052's after searching all over the place. Plenty of deals about but no stock. Luckily enough a good mate tipped me off to a local supplier who was keeping them for a lad who races in tin tops, but doesn't need them right now. Mixed reviews on...

Looks good and sounds like your enjoying it. Sabelt do a 330 mm wheel which is popular amongst Clio owners.

Most European factories close down for a short period towards the end of summer, to re-tool and restart production from Oct onwards. So your car will have rolled off the production line up to between 2004-2005. As has already been stated, your car would have sat around until the dealer...

Have people actually been scrapping Clio Sports just for the value of the CAT?

I’ve missed off a few things like PMS air con delete kit, Powerflex poly bushes all round, braided lines etc... Most of the modifications they’ve done have come from years of doing trackdays and things breaking down like power steering pumps, exhaust flange falling off, destroying standard...

PBS are a good pad for fast road and are decent for track days. As was suggested above, take front fogs out to get some cooling to the brakes. They’re pretty good around track from factory but you’ll soon find the limits when trying to keep up with dedicated track Clio’s. A few lads I go with...

The rear beam isn't too bad, although mine has gone rusty in less than 6 months. I've got a spare so i'm going to refurbish that one myself, to ensure it lasts a bit longer. I assume you're planning on doing some anti-corrosion work under the tank?

Another trackday done at Cadwell last week although it was probably the most red flags i've seen to date with major oil spillages at Coppice going into Charlies, end of Park Straight into Chris Curve and finally between Gooseneck and Mansfield. At one point I went out, did 1 lap, red flags came...

Well done. The temptation to go into 5th down Park Straight is always there. And the pace was there from the off considering it was your first time there.

Car looks lovely!

Congrats on baby Drew

I brush it on. Just make sure parts are cleaan and rust free etc... It goes a long way.

A few shots from Croft last week. Not many Clio's there this time, but had some good fun chasing the few that were there down. New PB too 🚗💨 More satisfying though was the car held up beautifully, which means all that work i did over the winter paid off. Pretty pleased considering i'd never...

So a dodgy breaker switch from Amazon, less than 4 months old, appears to have been the cause of my frustration. Anyway at least I know how to take a UCH out of a Clio now 😂 I also noticed the female spade connector on the solenoid was pretty loose. I think this has been at the heart of most...

Replaced the female spade connector on the Solenoid with this.

Much appreciated @sennaalbronda . The DF067 code also led me in the wrong direction, in fact I’ve still got that fault code now despite the car running perfectly 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess having a proper Renault Clip diagnostic pays for itself.

That’s really nice of you. Message sent

I know, but I’m not built that way. I can sorn her and let it rot tbh. If I knew what it was going to cost to fix, I’d reprice. I drove her to work last Friday with a smile on my face, no intention of selling. It’s only a car at the end of the day and I’ve absolutely loved working on it and...

Yeah it’s a £3,000 car all day long but until I can get her started I couldn’t ask that. 2 weekends of messing about trying to figure out what is wrong had exhausted me. I know plenty of people who’ll be able to fix it but I’m not putting anymore money into it.

Well after spending all day trying to get the old girl started I finally threw the towel in. Spent a lot of money and time on this car and was hoping I could fix her but I’m at a loss, so she’s going the journey. I’m sure somebody who knows a bit about these cars or is mechanically minded can...
