Can't say I've noticed the wheel thing not being level at all. Being a true pedant, aside from the sat nav, the audio system is the same for ST2 and ST3...both of which are a Sony unit and of a higher spec than the non-Sony that's on the ST1.

Looks very nice! You've got the earlier limit rev-counter (red before 6.5k). Makes no difference at all...but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which one you get!

How someone can spend six years and 50k miles sat in their own sh*t I'll never know. Great work though Daniel :approve:

Inappropriate courtesy...there's barely any scenario where it makes sense to slow down and/or stop a line of fast moving main road traffic to let one individual out. Inconvenience everyone behind you to do a good deed for one person? Just no. I don't even flash from afar, I may ease off to...

No safety briefing required either IIRC? LOL

As a passenger only, yes. I went to Goodwood thinking that if I had bought one a year ago I'd be really p***ed off. I left thinking that if I had bought one a year ago, I'd be really p***ed off with everyone that wouldn't listen or give the car a chance. I've driven 100s of laps around...

Here's a back to back comparison of the audio before and after. The audio level showing in my video editing software gives the 'after' a definite edge...to the tune of approx 0.6db. I think you can notice it, right at the top of the rev range...

I've got some back to back video filmed in the same gear on the same stretch of road, with my microphone tucked right up where the tip of the passenger's feet would be. I think, as said above, it's about 0.00001% louder and 0.00001% sharper. A slight change but nothing that noticeable.

I've been rocking a camera protruding like that on my Nexus 5 for a while now, it makes perfect sense if you use a case as the lens isn't sat 2-3mm deep in a recess. Even without a case the lens is hardly noticeable.

Amazing colour. I thought it was black until it was pointed out that it was actually brown/green/gold. You've captured it perfectly.

It was. Any slight Renault 'fan' that wasn't there missed out. I really hope they have the balls to go for it again next year as it must be a huge undertaking.

This shows exactly why Goodwood is such a good place for a trackday. 2.5 miles of circuit run with 10 car only sessions meaning on each session everyone effectively gets 0.25 mile all to themselves. You hardly ever see anyone else unless you're Ali in which case you fly past everything.

Very few as far as I could tell. It was just like a trackday but with several trade stands and some lovely concours cars on show.

A car meet is not a car meet in my opinion unless you can smell burnt tyres and brakes which adds to the ambience. Track action also generates interaction between members as evidenced at the Llandow day on Wednesday. If there was track activity of some sort I'd be there.

I learned two things yesterday that were quite eye opening; 1. Despite many claims to the contrary, V6 Clios can be thrown about on track just like you would a 172/182/197/200 and, if you do, they're f***ing rapid (thanks Ali ). 2. The Clio 200T is a proper RenaultSport Clio through and...

Dead easy to do, you could even just block it up with blu-tac if you wanted to...it only carries the noise after all. Was hilarious when I pulled it off at Goodwood today, Chris or Tim (can't remember which) started talking through it when I was sat in the car and it sounded like his head was...

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll run some back to back videos and see if the difference is noticeable.

I heard about this simple, reversible and free mod a short while ago and today while at Goodwood idly chatting I thought I'd give it a go. Find your sound symposer and the ribbed pipe that spurs off around the right-hand side of the engine toward the bulkhead; Hold the symposer body with one...

Once I've put the BBQ away I'll go and take some pictures and post a guide in my ST thread. Do you like the sound symposer noise?

Shame, great pic above though thanks.

If you want a proper run out in it let me know. As for the little mod I tried today, I can report it works really well!

I really wish we'd stayed out a little longer now but looking at how I was over-driving it on the last lap to try and keep up it's probably wise I came in when I did! We were very evenly matched I also thought, I was a bit stronger on the brakes, your 200kg advantage really showed through the...

Very.

Not quite what I was expecting LOL Was short but a good laugh marc1330 Jay Payne

Do essential things (like the engine mounts) and leave everything else. Go and do a few trackdays, decide what you want to change. There is no set route when it comes to modifying these things, I myself think they're adequate out of the box, the perfect balance of on road usability and on track...

Weather's looking fine down here Chip, should be a good day tomorrow :approve:

Great pics, still l can't get over that it stayed dry sunny and warm all day. You didn't happen to catch an orange Fiesta in your sights did you?

Advertiser should be shot for photographing it with both eyes closed. What f***ing useless pictures! Nice enough car though.

It may well be ball joints on the front hubs, on my 200 I had both of mine go at the same time, one week out of the original three year warranty. Renault's attitude initially was "they're wear and tear items sir and you're out of warranty, that'll be £900 please" - it needed complete front hub...

Seconded. A cheap and easy way to try Android.
