Yep I'll be there for 9am, RR booked for 11:15am

Funny that as they're the ones i sent you the link of weeks ago 😅

Putting the boost into booster jab today, any excuse to take it out for a spin. Feels great to be out and have something to take a photo of 😁

Wow, that was a long Saturday picking the car up! 4am alarm call 04:40 taxi to the train station 05:20 train to Liverpool Street 07:30 Kings Cross to Doncaster 11:10 Doncaster to Durham arriving 12:25 Kindly picked up by previous owner Mike we head back to his to pick up the Clio 25 minutes...

The Mk4 RS didn't get off to a good start being panned by most if not all the motoring press. The 4th generation was a big leap of change, the gearbox being the biggest. The British as a tradition don't like change, add in the 4 door only shell coming from a previous 3 door manual it was a big...

The Turinis were indeed off a Subaru so I had the centrebores machined out to 66.1mm by a local engineering company. The ET worked a treat on the front but had the 2 rears machined 5mm to just tuck in the rear arch.

Thank you, much appreciated. In fairness there isn't much to do really, as mentioned I'll probably go Turinis again as IMO they looked spot on. Other than that just enjoy. Cooksport RR day, they advertised on many social media platforms as a Renaultsport rolling road day with power runs on a...

I just scour the tinternet for them! The last set I found were a 6hr round trip for a set of 6 at a bargain price. They do pop up now and again. More than welcome to have a look round, I'm looking to go to the Cooksport RR day on the 17ty December.

Cheers mate, hope to catch up with you soon 😊

Thanks mate, much appreciated 😊 hmm, looks like the wheels are staying red.... Wing mirrors are going back to gloss black and the sunstrip is being removed. Looking forward to joining you in the car n coffee meets now 😊

Forgot to mention it sits on black wheels for everyday, the red are cup racer wheels on Cup 2s

I have a couple of Turinis and was thinking of sourcing a couple more and having them done white.

Thank you, yes cage and seats were the plans on the previous owners agenda but just couldn't go ahead with it! It's done me a favour! It won't be going that way that's for sure, just to enjoy it.

He has indeed, the main reason I just couldn't resist. I know that every aspect of that car has had the right attention to detail. Can't wait to pick it up now.

Yes it's Ian's old Clio and indeed the same chap who does the hybrid turbos

All the sale gubbins is done and now just the small matter of picking this up next weekend. It came up for sale last week and knowing what's been done to this and how well it's been put together it was hard to say no. I've been away from the Renaultsport scene for nearly 18 months for various...

Machining 5mm off the rears will be fine

OE offset is 55 on a 7.5J You should be ok up front as I ran 16mm Eibach spacers, the rear max I wouldn't go more than 10mm. I used the PMS hub spacers and the stance was just right IMO. 15mm all round will go but the rear will have a bit more poke and might... Might just rub when lowered. I...

My old supercharged PB 182 on 16" Supers. Edit: FFS pics of Ultras not Supers d1ckhead 🙄

It was just as much the Trophy experience and maybe not losing any coin on it but as mentioned if it doesn't have the Sachs then that's the experience of the drive out the window straight away.

After reading everyone's comments and thinking more about it I'll give it a miss. 6k outlay, I don't know say at £6-1000+ to buy and potentially refurbish Sachs dampers. Then say another 1k on bodywork refresh it's a fair whack of money on something with 150+k miles. There's bound to be more...

Tempted to go and have a look at this Trophy, advert looks well presented. What are the chances of sourcing a set of original Sachs dampers all round? With a bit of tlc over time it could be a half decent Clio...

Are the original 172 Cup door decals still available? #askingforafriend 👀

Non cup chassis 😬

I had the 280 cup chassis, this gives you the red Brembo calipers, LSD, 10% stiffer dampers. As I knew it was going on track I wanted the Cup chassis. Apparently it's not as forgiving out on the road but with my history of modded cars it wasn't a deal breaker. Mapped saw it to 330bhp and...

See if you can keep the old one to exchange for a hybrid 😅

Always happy to help @Big_Steve_T and that goes to any local Cliosport club member and beyond if they need any parts or help at Renault. I've built up a decent rapport with all the departments at Southend Renault for probably over 15 years, especially the parts department. They're more than...

All in good time mate, and yes it's not a bad location for a sunrise, sunset photo or 2

Down in sunny Sarfend I see 😅
