It's easy to get pissed off when things don't seem to be going well, but you've done a cracking job on the car and it's one of my favourites on here. You're absolutely not allowed to think of breaking it again?.
After 3 weeks I'm finally back on my machine and it's got new spindle bearings and lots of other new parts fitted. OMG it's so f**king quiet now??. Should have been done 18 months ago, the old bearings have about 5mm of play in them!
Welcome aboard, it's great to see renaultsport enthusiasts from other countries on here.
We didn't get any special edition mk2 RS clio's over here apart from the Trophy. I reckon they may have had some in Australia though and maybe those were duplicated in Japan too? @gambit do you know of any...
I've got an Alpine in my Clio and it's bloody rubbish. It's the first alpine I've ever owned and well, they must have gone down hill since max power shut up shop! Clunky to use and overcomplicated to navigate the menus. You can match the colour of it to your car though.
f**k that, did you ring the previous owner when it limped on you? You've spent money on it at a specialist to try fix it so you've nothing to feel bad about. Tell him to ring them as their fix hasn't worked.
Tell them to send an damage assessor to look at the cars and guess the speed as that's more their job than yours.
f**king insurance companies are corrupt as f**k.
Changed the front discs and pads on the wife's car after 7 months of being fucked about by the garage that fitted the noisiest pads ever to a shopping car. If these start to squeal it's going in the river.
Old fucked ones, I'm guessing they didn't bother to check for any lip on the disc as...
No they are slightly different, more like a Cs Cross sportster seat.

I've tried finding something too. I got some rubber feet for a drone but they were too big, I'm sure there's some that would fit, it's just finding them!
@Kev@KAM has 25% off bilstein iirc. ??
The 172 cup is a great looking car. The whole package is spot on and it was a bargain new buy which is proved by how many people saw past the lack of fancy seats and air-con and bought into the lightweight fun car ethos. Future classic for sure, don't let...
Removed some bling from the car last week.
The temporary bolts in the side skirt had already started to rust so I replaced them with black rivets. Couldn't be bothered to remove the other side one as it was fekkin hot so that can wait until 2021?. Much better:
The dog was a great help as usual...
Just fitted the pms arb and purple beam bushes to mine. It took lots of time but we got there in the end. Not had chance to really test it yet though but the old bushes definatly needed replacing.
