Looks smart, I don't suppose you have a link to where you bought your LED sidelights please?

Saw this on the way home from work about 4.20pm, RB with stripes and Recaros, CS sticker on the rear glass, looks pretty tidy. Gave you a 'cool as can be' aknowledgment wave as i drove past :o

The RB passed it's MOT today with no advisories so i'm pretty pleased with that

It didn't miss a beat all day With the geometry set, new Spax coilovers in place, Carbon Lorraine RC5 pads, Whiteline RARB. It felt bang on everytime i took it out :cool:

Twas indeed, i had a brief chat with you and hung about when your Clio went on the rollers.

Was a Blyton for the weekend back in July with RTOC and was papped a few times, rollin on the primer OZ F1s :o ND105 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND103 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND101 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND108 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND104 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

They're Christopher's old Turinis... That came off my RB.... Which I bought off Christopher :D

Really :D RB 057 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Bloomin ell you weren't wrong, that IS clean :D

Re: mintys 172 turbo This is the very kit I'm looking into having on mine. Is that 3k including fitting? Look forward to seeing how it goes, nice one

What turbo and ECU are you going for? To me they are the items that will cost the most.... Unless they can be sourced 2nd hand in decent working order. The down pipe and manifold can be bought from ED FMIC and pipe work potentially E Bay Can source the spark plugs, sensor, drain feeds. Im not...

Its an option, I'm mulling over the Engine Dynamics conversion kit as pound for pound when you add up the parts list (new parts) it might not be far off their all in price. I don't have a problem fitting the kit, I guess just thinking of how to finance it without credit. There's a 172 Cup...

Give that man an Oscar!

Was talking to a friend last night about doing a turbo conversion, or setting my sights on going down the turbo route. It's something that has bugged me for over a year, having had relatively quick R5 GT Turbos back in the day I've always missed turbo power, the torque. Anyway, his reply was...

Serious?!

54 plate Clio FF in RB, 86k ish, belts and dephasher done at BTM I think early 70k Over the last 6 months it's had new OE rear discs/pads, front Brembo HC discs, Renault HT leads, NGK plugs Aero wipers, Renault rear wiper, Renault number plate light New Alpine headunit with I Pod lead, Alpine...

I had a white set on an Odyssey blue phs1, IMO looked good with lowz

Wouldn't it now be worth having the geometry checked just to make sure the camber is all good?

Im thinking of going down this route too, and yep collating parts over the next few months :o

Not sure if you know but I bought this off Christopher :o

I live in Thundersley but head over to 2 tree to hit a few balls at the driving range every now and then. Tell a lie I took some pics of my old white track 172 in the car park last year.

Thanks :) Spax RSX coilovers

Yes indeed, ill bring it to a show next year.... Just deciding on what to do next with it :)

I believe the 15mm spacers up front are the 'A' centric type, requiring the longer bolts. I'm using the original wheels bolts at the rear with 5mm universal spacers, wheels areET43, no scrubbing. Id love the TPI bolts but can't imagine they do them longer.

Indeed it is 2 tree, down on the jetty

Chip, is that with the Focus FMIC in place? I was just wondering how efficient these universal intercoolers that are on E Bay for the Clio and K Tecs FMiC. 1 can assume that on low boost with the FMIC size there might not be anything to worry about or whether a little R&D went into charge temps...

1 question that springs to mind regarding all these turbo conversions, does anyone know what charge temps they have when giving it full beans. Just thinking out loud after hot intake pipes were mentioned

Super tidy engine bay, I've read this from the start and looking forward to the mapping results. It's something I've been seriously looking into doing.... But scared to actually take the plunge!

Air leaks from either side of the cat could bring up the EML light, mine does so I've bought a new gasket.... And exhaust paste to rectify the problem :o

RB writing on carbon? :D Out of interest, in the pics can you actually notice the bullets are carbon? :o I have the original bullets so I could paint them anthracite...
