I wouldn't be spending £8k on a Clio as a novice mate, budget half that and you'll get a real decent example 1*2 with cage, diff, seats and harness, power upgrades like cams and rs2, even throttle bodies, track brakes, track wheels and loads of spares etc.

Nice buy mate.

I personally wouldn't do either and spend the money on TD's, but It'd be the supercars over driving around cones in a car park.

Haha sounds like a handful already, what pads are up top?

2.0L?

How far are opening them? Just unscrew them all the way and see if gravity pulls fluid through if it does put the nipple back in and try again. If nothing, change them.

To get the injectors out I found wiggling the rail quickly side to side got them out really easily.

Get you mate, he'll know his stuff then. Looking forward to seeing the results of these, keep us updated.

Who's Kevin? Also are you gonna get it set up professionally with corner weighting?

How come you went with 9kg front? Did you go with DR or BR?

@K_McDermott how long did delivery take on the 1155s from eBay mate? As its saying estimated delivery date of the 20th of May, and in postage description states dispatched within 30 days.

Have a read through this... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/ecp-handbrake-cables-for-182-fitment.804018/

Haha, payment pending...

Brilliant, nice one gonna order some now. Did you fit them without shims?

@K_McDermott Do these fit yeah? Look like they have wear indicators though? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302183925298

Thanks for the review of the 1155s, at only £90 could represent a real bargain.

Cars coming along nicely mate, just makes me want coilovers so bad as yours looks so much more planted around Oulton than mine. Car looks quick though, defo a good few seconds to be gained once you've got to grips with the track and new mods. How are you finding the 1155s? as I need...

f**k it off Carl, sounds like more hassle than it's worth.

Get ya.

If funds allow go with the DR's with solid top mounts if solely a track car? I'll be going with DR's with 8kg/8kg spring rates when I get them as this is similar to the AST spring rates of 80n/mm = (8kg).

Why would the dampers need revalving?

Yeah its the high speed braking zones mate that are the tricky ones with the ABS disabled, especially if you like to trail brake. I've done Aintree a few times now with no ABS and braking from 120 mph on the back straight is squeaky bum time, but it just takes a little getting used to, funny...

Also the BC's come with custom front spring rates as a free option, options below... BR series...https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk2/suspension/renault-clio-mk2-bc-racing-br-series-coilover-type-rn-2-0-16v-rs-172-172-cup-182.html?___SID=U DR...

This ^ I've done a few TD's with no ABS with good results, can get a little hairy braking from higher speeds (100+) though.

As mentioned driveshaft(s) or DMF, if the latter you can normally hear it rattling at idle. @james24785 are you back in the Clio then?

I'd just buy one already prepped if I were to do it all again, something like this...

No 182s in budget, they're all pretty much the same when stripped, just no ABS on the 172 cup.

Are the sliders from a Corbeau Clubsport by any chance?

The track slag!

BC racing coilovers as you can adjust height and pre load, and you get the option of solid top mounts. Think they're around £700-800 last time I looked.
