I've just seen that if you go to a RS Track Day there is a 220T available! Great suggestion! Thank you for the comprehensive feedback- I'm not expecting it to feel like my 182 and tbh I'm hoping it doesn't! I want something that feels more grown up but is still very capable and it sounds like...

Appreciate that mate, thank you. I'll drop you a PM when I get home from work this evening.

I used to work at Tesla in West Drayton so am familiar with the area- I'm living over in Woodford now, but not too far away at all. If you've got any time spare over the next couple of months I would love to be taken out as a passenger for a quick run.

This better be good!!

Here's a question, in race mode, will it change down under braking?

I definitely would want a longer test drive, maybe even a couple- I doubt they would have capacity for a day long loan but you never know. It was a 3 hour test drive in the Abarth that sold me on it. Interesting to hear your thoughts, and very interesting comparing it to the Fiesta ST which...

Mossy, what do you want that gearbox for?! What you got planned haha

So, potentially controversial topic coming up haha. Trophy 220. Any experiences? I've seen two cars on here so far but nothing in any real detail. Has anyone had much experience in the way of test drives, weekend loans, passenger runs, owns one perhaps? Online reviews seem very positive...

Haha, I'm just pulling your leg mate, glad you found yourself a new motor and hope she treats you well. I'm with you on the smeary blades though, doesn't matter how powerful the car is, if you can't see where you're going you've got no chance!

How lovely :) @jamesycc where is your build thread?!?!

So has it gone then?!?!

Looks too rough for my liking- my favourite part is the black electrical tape over the ripped carbon wrap on the roof :) lol If it wasn't recorded as damaged it would be a decent project car to really transforms perhaps.

Absolutely cracking value that. What a lot of car, and a lot of a good car for the money.

To satisfy my curiosity, care to share what you paid? By PM or otherwise... Haha.

Crikey chaps, you both feeling alright? CS at 4am?! Lol. If this is the sort of car you buy to break for parts I'd love to see a car that you buy to keep! Oh wait, I have, and they're even more incredible!! Will the plan for the LY remain the same? Find a 225 engine to go in?

This megane looks so lovely- next time I am looking for a car I think I am going to pay you to find it for me!!!

My view is sod the neighbours, I may take up four parking spaces but at least I don't have two screaming little t***s that that never shut up! Megane looks nice though, curious how it feels without the diff as I thought the R26 was the only one to have.

Haha, yeah, I'll probably do pretty well on the low mileage competition! But there are probably are a few out there with even less miles! I use it every now and then... I would be curious to hear what else you had done... So- that settles it then. Going to do everything, guess I'll...

The 197 has only done 9,000 miles, so hopefully I can just change the cambelt on that and nothing else. I'm hoping the water pump and dephaser will be okay.

So basically, general consensus is do everything.

And thanks for the reply haha, it says 197 in my profile but this post is for my 182- little bit longer to go on the 197!

Did you pay £630 odd?

Hey everyone, So in June my cam belt will be due again. The car has done just over 73k and is a 55 plate. The big question is do I also change the de-phaser and/or water pump at the same time as I have no evidence of these being changed in the cars life time. I'm pretty much decided on going...

So, long overdue an update. Sadly, not many photos to share with you at this point but a fair lot has happened. Were we first left off, the EML had gone, a new lambda sensor was fitted and all was looking well for the MoT. Roll on MoT day, absolutely no issues whatsoever... EXCEPT... the...

Definitely due an update, and with lots to tell! Was hoping to get something up this weekend but have been too busy out driving!! I'll get it updated tomorrow evening :up:

Looks really smart

No idea, but here's the genuine Renault item for a 182, same price too: http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-172-182-mount-rear/

Curious to see this...

Yeah, exactly that mate. Went for brand new Renault Cup shocks all round and Cooksport springs that were only a year old when I bough the car. I probably wouldn't have fitted them personally, as it is a bit of a pain having the car so low with all the speed bumps/humps in my area but the...

Great progress mate! Youre ahead of me now, I have done the suspension and pre cat lambda sensor, brakes and steering up next.
