    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    Brands Hatch Indy circuit Wednesday 13th June Booked a week before and pre Brembo and H&R fitment, my plan was to give the parts a shakedown so Brands seemed the perfect place as its less than an hour away for me. I'll do the update in parts sections as well as general text in between. Arrived...

    Clio 200T Badge removal

    If you're referring to the diamonds you can buy gloss black ones that go over the top of the originals. If you Google Diamond Performance on Ebay or go to the Cliosport.net Facebook and tag Paul Brandrick he should reply.

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    Pre Brands blow over, just to say I NEVER use the brush. Really needs a going over, wax and seal.

    Good to meet up with everyone last night, apologies for not getting round to speak to ALL of you. From where I live in Southend I navigated my way on the country roads from Rayleigh over to Hanningfield, onto to Stock where there's a Shell garage for V Power, then up to Galleywood, Writtle and...

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    The Meg 250 calipers are indeed bigger, I've been told they're the same bolt locations but can't answer as to why they didn't go ahead and use them. I think the Meg 250 discs are 340mm where the Clios are 320mm. The disc offset is different as well on the Megane but it's something that could...

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    RenaultSport did as they used the Brembo 4 pot calipers on the Clio Cup race cars, at some point in time they changed to PFC 4 pot calipers using a 2 piece disc setup. Who knows if we share the same hub setup but I imagine what will be different is the disc offset between the OE Brembo disc and...

    Update this Sunday for the next installment but the last couple of weeks I've been accumulating parts and doing a little bit of DIY refurbishment.

    Machine alloys or longer hub bolts?

    Assuming the wheel nuts have the same taper angle as the wheels,and there's no paint on the wheels stopping the nut mating up to the wheel 100%. Step away from the stepper drill bit, do not DIY the wheel bolt holes AT ALL. Bar changing the studs to longer ones you could have the backs of the...

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    It's a nice step up in power for sure! What with 260 torque as well I'm more than happy with the outcome.

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    Bird s**t! I hate it, the sad thing is I don't have a unit or garage so as mentioned it's open to the elements which brings the birds. They decided to drop a couple of bombs on the pearl so I thought it was a good excuse to jetwash and QD it. On a side note I've been speaking to a person who...

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    I should be there mate! Always a pleasure meeting up with you. It certainly is! It brings the Clio alive, the torque makes the difference! RS Tuning never disappoint.

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    What helps is that the wheel is brand new and in mint condition already so there's not much build up to clean off. It did work on the minor build up of brake dust but as I've only ever used this I can't compare it to the likes of Iron X. I do get the feeling it's not as aggressive but what it...

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    As you can see the front end was covered in flies so a wash was in order, with that it also gave me an opportunity to try out the wheel cleaning products. I'm trying to keep on top of cleaning duties, it's open to the elements daily. Ideally it needs a wash, wax and sealant.

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    8th May Spoke to Paul at RS Tuning and managed to book the 220 in for a session on the rollers, I also managed to have @RMDavis booked in on the same day. We met up en route at Toddington services on the M1 at 9am then headed up north to Leeds. This would make for good comparisons between the...

    Options on a new 220 trophy, question.

    Excellent choice in colour, buying second hand its basically whatever's about in the dealerships. It's down to when ordering a Clio who ticked whatever on the options. I've seen all sorts of concoctions from nothing, full leather only, Akrapovic and leather only.... Or all the bells and whistles...

    Options on a new 220 trophy, question.

    Potential options: Full leather interior, heated front seats Akrapovic exhaust Bose sound system Shark fin aerial 'Black Pack' Black blade, rear diffuser, boot badges When purchasing the 220 brand new you can tick as many options as you like from the list above. Rear parking camera is...

    Ricardo's Pearl White 220 Trophy

    I think it's the clock tower photo that's poor, apologies for that. I'll upload another to if that one's any good. With a new car it would be nice to try and keep on top of cleaning. I'm no detailer but appreciate a clean car, it's a bit hard not having a driveway to myself so I have to use my...
