An update for anyone interested, I had been using RS-Rs (140) and changed to NS-2R (180) two track days ago.
I had been generally happy with the federals apart from what I found to be soft sidewalls, Shoulder wear when pushing hard but good grip. Two track days ago I swapped to Nankangs, it was...
There's an English tab at the top for ordering, pretty simple, I almost did before a cheap set of ASTs appeared on here
I have full set of cup dampers, Pms top mounts, front spring cups, bump stops and cooksport springs, all are 6 track days old if interested?!
order them from here, a few on here have and they work out ~£500 delivered.

I'd have cooksport springs and new standard dampers over anything but the billies...
Horrible :( get another engine in there and give it some abuse, then have your own built if you're going that way, all this work/money and no fun in it will end up in the for sale section!
I had mine like yours, kept the carpets etc etc, I've just done a more thorough strip job but cut the plastics to keep some of them. With the painted floors and a bit more cabin noise I have to say it adds to the experience, wish I'd done it earlier, plus it just makes me smile, because racecar...
Have a look at the upper engine mount, on the drivers side, if you look underneath it there will either be a weight or a gap as someone has already binned it. Weight loss depends on how far you want to go, carpets, sound deadening, seats, fibreglass panels, poly windows, airbags etc etc
Alignment done this morning, I know the road isn't like a circuit but may have to soften the rear slightly as it was skipping on back roads, currently have all 4 corners at 7 clicks from soft.

Great pics, Spa is the dream for me, Z4m in Spain must've been epic!
Lol at the Clio not killing funds, I'd advise you not to look too much on here 🙈 Mine started off at a grand including the dephaser/aux kit..........gone slightly beyond now 😢
I knew you had some hassle, just not that much :( the Clio is so much fun, generally reliable, only issues I've had is a misfire that turned out to be the crank sensor and my 3rd gear synchro is on it's way out, just have to be slow and easy into gear or it'll grind. Mine's staying road legal...
