Yup. Normally a bit like libya on the sunday though. I normally make sure theres a fire extinguisher to hand ...

Wheels are sexual. Need black centres though. Oh, & raise the sodding coilovers 20mm lol ... ;)

Randomly, i can add to this, met these on holiday, half way up a mountain in the Alps. Yup, they looked cute. Until they got angry, invited all their mates round & decided to amble towards us. A clio does about 30mph in reverse btw.

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse And as if by magic, an appropriate sticker arrived through the post.

Its not too bad: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?552996-JMS-Air-Con-Removal-Package-(PH2-RS) Would have been considerably cheaper to do when you were having the cambelt re-done anyway though. Doh :dapprove: Best engine mod i've made by a long shot.

For those that do track days (not many people on here), there is an old lady who does them, in an R26.R. She gets in the way, but its nice to see that she's still into driving.

I think thats Tony, just from the back ...

Thats not me btw ;) lol @ this thread. You best hope Tony doesnt see it, he's an old chap that would show most people on here how to drive ...

Next day delivery not fast enough? www.nextdaybrakes.com Pagids would be decent enough im sure. GSF do Brembo's though iirc.

Glad to see its all sorted at last!! Albeit with a few surprises along the way for good measure :o Car will be fantastic to drive now i bet, like the difference i felt after my work, but with an additional 20bhp lol. Glad the filter of death is going though, the state of the trumpets on...

epost. Ah well, obviously need to spend more time on CS, less time at work earning £££'s ;)

Warning, contains awesomeness :D PH linky: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23529 :race:

Yes. Although if you want to use the isofix mounting points in the boot you need an M10 eyebolt.

Great pics. Trophy's are awesome. Fact.

Well, not quite, the GFV on a 3 year old clio, will be a lot less than that of a 2 year one ...

Pay in a lump sum on your credit card, then pay that off monthly! Admiral interest charges are horrific anyway ....

lol, someone took this at footy the other week, i forget how tall Ollie is sometimes ...

I just stood up in front of the steering wheel. Benefit of being a short4rse i suppose ;)

Christ, im gonna start charging people £5 to turn up to the Staines meet lol ...

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse I'm not going to disagree tbh. Cleeeeeeean meeeeeee :dead: Although, to be fair, its no worse than the other two dirty f*ckers. IR showoff.

What would need to be done for this to work exactly? Can the actual suspension components be machined so that the different hub spacing can be accomodated? For example, if you really wanted to fit Bilstein's, KW's, or FK Konigsports coilovers (normal 1*2 fitment only), to a Trophy...

Currently i cant be bothered to strip the clio, partly as i have to leave it outside (condensation on the inside of the car FTL!) and it would mess the suspension up - i have Trophy Sachs and cant adjust them/lower them enough to counteract the lack of weight. In the future though, with a...

The most expensive one isnt always the best btw ;) Personally, i buy a cheaper one, say £3.5k that needed the belts doing, then take it to someone you trust to do all the major work - then you know its been done properly!!

Why the big thing about mileage? If its been serviced on time/belts done etc, i'd be more interested in price/condition, etc. They're in Bristol, he should take Daniel!! Or at least pm him for info on the dealer ...

No mention of cambelt in the ad either: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201115384530503/sort/priceasc/usedcars/seller-type/trade_adverts/price-to/5000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/colour/blue/price-from/4000/model/clio/make/renault/page/2/radius/1501/postcode/rg213eu?logcode=p

Also, if you have access to a diagnostic tool, like VAG-COM ask the seller if you can test the car for faults ... Then, when they're not looking, turn all the warning lights on* * Note, i dont recommend you do this, it would be unethical

And if you want to get a great deal, dont go to a dealer, buy privately.

Also, set a price in your mind before you go, if you dont get to it, be prepared to walk away. 9 times out of 10, you'll get a phone call 15 minutes later, so just go sit in the car round the corner.

Find all the faults, make an offer after listing them all. Handy Hint - if they dont look offended/tell you to f*ck off, you've havent offered low enough. Once they have calmed down, start negotiating from there.

Oh yes, they are comfy, but i was talking more about having to get in & out of them. Its like throwing yourself down into an Elise lol.
