Always change my oil every 6K and with ELF bought from Renault, when i was in R5 GT Turbo ownership i changed the oil every 3K being turbocharged

Tax exempt Mk1 GT, mint. For a minute i thought this was gonna be changed into something completely different. Really pleased it's going back to original looks.... I hope :cool: Will watch this thread

2tree 006 by Ricard o1, on Flickr I'm in the process of ordering this photo so hopefully within 48hrs i'll have the Hi res copy if required and without company logos germany1 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

I had 1 part ex offer, that's about it

Cheers, have a look in the link below as these are all the companies/people taking pics at the Ring http://www.ringportal.nl/en/photography

First time i've seen the Clio on track and really pleased with not only how it handled but also how it looks. Makes for those long days and buying all the parts well worth it. Anyway, i'm probably boring people to death with pics now :o germany1 by Ricard o1, on Flickr germany3 by Ricard o1...

This is the 8 car crash mentioned on PistonHeads http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=24438

Aah hiya, yeah we heard on the way back the Ring had been closed due to an 8 car altercation which included the Ring taxi. The weather was awesome which brought everybody out the woodwork to go on the track, sooo busy. The main roundabout outside the carpark with the 2 roads either side were...

We had the lead foot for 90 mins but still missed the ferry back! On the way there we had to stop 180 miles in as my mate had to fill up his Evo, i checked the MPG and it was showing me 53 cruising at 80mph. I have more pics but my bloomin HTC USB lead is playin up!

I've heard Pinocchios is probably 1 of the best places to go to in Adenau, Matt you're right it's an awesome place to be around, addictive. Also, just to stir the MPG debate i tripped the meters to '0' when i filled up in Thundersley where i live to see how far 1 tank of fuel would get me. I...

It is raw, the stone it's sitting on is at a temp so hot it cooks the steak. Steak doesn't take long to cook and the stone stays hot long enough for you to literally cut bits off and cook it to just how you want it. Regards the 'Ring' any petrol head needs to go there to soak in all what it has...

The steak was that good we ordered a 2nd one! Never seen anything like it, highly recommend anyone going to Nurburgring to reserve a table there and try it. That steak pic is making me want 1 now!

The Tiergarten is indeed off the right hand side of the main road. We checked in there but stayed in a wooden 'lodge' building they also own a little further up on the left heading towards the castle. We had dinner in the Pistenklause restaraunt the Saturday night, steak on a stone, THE best way...

Arrived home at 2am this morning after a 3 day trip out the the Ring and Spa track, i didn't take lots of pics and still have some on my phone but the USB is playing up. There were a few UK registered Clios out there, 2-3 172 Cup model Clios, 55 plate Trophy, 197, track spec 172 or 182. All in...

I think it does, it has all the right ingredients.... And Code Red on hand :cool:

Thanks for the heads up, i'll source 1 if/when the Clio jack breaks :S :D

It has to be better than the ropey 172 jack i had :D i'm hoping not to use it! Gonna have the front wheels balanced again on Friday, have all the wheel nuts torqued too. Need to find a decent priced european breakdown cover for the 3 days. I'll decide what i'm doing with it when i get back

Nothing major but this week, just checking everything on the Clio before the Nurburgring trip this weekend.I bought a scissor jack from Arctic 182 as the Clio 172 jack broke on the plastic bit where the handle hooks in. The Clio is too low for a trolley jack and would rather take a scissor jack...

My peak average MPG ;) WP_000754 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Ok, so last night i popped down to my friends workshop to do a couple of jobs on the Clio. The main job was to raise front and rear suspension, it looked good for lows but the drive shaft was bottoming out so we raised it about 30ish millimetres at the front and i'd say about 15-20mm at the...

I found when shopping around that most companies ask for convictions over the last 5 years, the company i'm with now were over the last 3 years which was handy for me as my points are just out of the 3 year time period. A first for me though is the company require a photocopy of my drivers...

I have the FK Konigsport coilovers with Koni dampers on my white Clio 172, i think they're a decent kit for the money. Adjustable ride height, damping and negative camber

I remembered to take it out!

Thats some weight loss! I did wonder whether the weight they gave me was when i drove it on the weighbridge with me in it! The office is right next to the bridge, she gave me the weight as soon as i asked. No harm in going somewhere else for a 2nd opinion. There is more weight to come off if i...
