Still no clunking from the boot. Enjoying this noise-free driving now!
Also took the car down to Automax today. Left it with Nigel to fit my HEL braided lines.
At present can't really see the difference on general road use. However, I'm hoping to see better performance on track, with no more...
I'd also suffered with the knocking boot for too long. I'd moved the striker plate in the boot forward a good few mm, and it still remained.
Then I remember reading a little trick about putting a small layer of electrical tape around the striker itself.
Did that this morning, and no more...
Looks awesome after the detail. It's amazing how much contamination there is upon delivery.
The back end and wheels look gash on that car though (The styling, not your work!)
Hehe. I'd already bought it before my post yesterday!
Definitely a remap. Just hoping to shift some bits from the garage to generate funds and then off to see dan at 519.
Still tempted by a rear arb, and see if any power flex bushes fit the front arb.
Also want to try my hand at alcantara...
Don't get any scraping with mine over speed bumps, but I'm running 17's.
Car looks good Moff. Interior is nice an clean too. Like the colour coding with the main bodywork colour.
Sounds sensible Adam. It's not like I'm pushing the clio beyond it's limits!
Still thinking of a remap anyway - a little more power never hurt anyone. ;)
So I've had my Clio about 18 months now. Love it. Cheap to run, does mega mpg, and it's been on a couple of track days now which albeit slow, were a hoot.
I've recently contemplated tarting it up a bit, for some more track use. However, I still need it to be a sensible daily.
Ideas included...
I'll agree the bilsteins are a better shock, but at least with the AP's you have adjustment to raise and lower the car.
Just depends on what the OP is after.

Looking good Cub. Last time I saw this was at Silverstone when Tony was racing - as long as I'm thinking of the same car!?
