Then that could just be cup handling pack? Needs both handling and appearance packs, plus climate control and a few other bits.... I think.

Lol, I'll be fine :weary:

Does it look like this? Splitter and spoiler...

Also how important is the handbrake for transporting? As I don't have one on the Clio lol. :grimacing:

Cheers mate, any pics of the Clio loaded?

Nope, been googling all day though so get the gist. Hands at the bottom of the wheel using small inputs, right hand up (left lock) brings trailer right, left hand up, (right lock) brings the trailer left?

"If you passed your car driving test on or after 1 January 1997 you can: drive a car or van up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass ( MAM ) towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM. tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined MAM of the trailer andtowing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg."

Old enough (passed my test long enough ago) to tow 3500kg mate.

Rented mate £65 that includes hire, insurance & straps plus picking it up the night before so not pissing about it the morning.

Bit nervous TBH as I've never towed using a car transporter and I'll be alone, once picked up I'm gonna find somewhere to practice reversing and parking without the car loaded. Anyone any helpful tips and advice? I'll be using the below trailer hitched to my Mondeo...

I use Shell Helix ultra 5w 40, which is only £20 for 5L at ECP with discount code SAV852964. Always used it in my performance cars N/A & TC and its always performed well.

Has anyone used a cotton type filter for this set-up? I've got the Ramair foam type ATM minute but needs replacing and cotton ones are cheaper.

Right finished my exams, so gonna be giving this a good go tonight, cant be losing my crown so easily :tongueclosed:

Yeah seat belts will be gone, just gonna leave the rest in with bucket and harness.

@20vKarlos out of interest what would you say all the plastics, headlining and carpet weigh? I'm thinking of doing mine but if minimal weight saving I'll just leave them in.

Fair do's. Due to no road tax Yeah? Last time I got done it was an £80 fine, this was a decade ago mind...

Who clamped the car John at number 10 or some cowboy outfit, or was it the council? If the latter then fair enough, if the former then as long as you don't damage their property then there's f**k all they can do as it's a private matter, which cannot be upheld in the courts.

£260 for that clamp to be removed, seriously? I would have cut the wheel off and give the c**t his clamp back in tact.

I've just got a pair of Kumho V70a in hard compound with a tread wear of 50, so the soft maybe what you're after and should be around the 20 mark.

For sure, should have really explained the logic behind my decision, the timing belt on the car looks very fresh, as in teeth are all there and of normal length, no cracks and is nice and tight, the Aux belt looks similar and is nicely seated on the pulley so not to alarmed with this either. If...

I'm just gonna take a chance on mine and if it goes wait for an engine to come up on here from a car being broken with belts done and have someone like Carl fit it or attempt it myself, same with the gearbox. They seem throw away units these days, lol.

I purchased my titty FF exactly a year ago with no receipt of belts being done and put a video up of an engine bay noise which sounded doggy, got all the usual defo dephaser, water pump, belts, get them done immediately, don't drive it, it sounds knackered etc.. car has done 5 full track days...

If I where you mate I'd say leave the belts and get the car for £1400 and get the belts done by a reputable Renault specialist, which will be around £500-600 all in with belts, water pump, dephaser, coolant and ancillaries, that way you have a nice fully sorted FF for £2000 without the worry of...

Are you referring to me there are you?

If you actually use your brakes, especially on track the Brembos are shite. Suppose they'd be OK for pensioners :tongueout:

Don't buy OE brembo pads as they're made of cheese, go Ferodo premier or Pagid on pads.

Premium branded scrubbed tyres from ebay are cheap enough to taking risks with retreads, hell budgets are dirt cheap new and offer 80% of the premiums performance. I thought retreads where old school and died a death...

Totally forgot about this, will give it a go later.

BC BR's with custom spring rates and adjustable solid top mounts (recommended) can be had for £824 from Kamracing, but honestly mate a set of stiff springs on fresh dampers is fine for these cars. I have cheapo AMAX springs from ECP and they're fine for an amateur like me doing 5-6 days a year...
