Really struggling with finding a set of wheels due to the high ET the EDC has. While I was in Renault yesterday they have the facelift 220 and saw the wheels.
I asked parts department for a price, in my opinion it would give mine the look of the facelift model. Then I saw that the French...
Well, an amazing day, as expected the Clio performed faultless. SPORT mode all day, didn't use the paddles bar coming into Clearways in 4th where I had to blip down to 3rd. Other than it was brilliant, hit 105mph on the start/finish line but with the mist first thing the track was a bit greasy...
Was digging through a load of old photographs this morning and came across these 2. I joined Cliosport first time round back in 2000, this was my first ever Renault Clio. Lowered, 17" TSW Venoms, stainless cat back exhaust, big induction kit straight off the throttle body. Used to attend the...
Start figure 189bhp - 172ft/lbs torque
Mapped result 226bhp - 250ft/lbs torque
Had the ITG filter fitted too.
So much better now with that big hike in torque.
Had the Cooksport springs fitted yesterday and couldn't resist taking it out somewhere in the 'light' to have a better look. Looks wise it's made a massive difference, it will settle more apparently. The main thing for me is its lost that massive front wheel arch gap and lost that reverse rake...
Popped over to North Weald for the afternoon to have a mooch about and see the cars running the quarter mile. Quickest of the day was the Nismo plated NOS'd Skyline running mid 10s
A mate of mine mentioned this today and is going tomorrow for a mooch about. Was wondering if anyone from here is attending? I was thinking of taking the Megane out for a run.
Ordered the parts last week and just got round to making the panel to create a cruise control bracket for my Sabelt aftermarket steering wheel to go in my Megane 225.
So with the PB sold last July, as ever with all petrolheads we're never too far from thinking about buying something else. In between that I bought a 14 plate Clio for best and have a 1.9dci 130 for work. The itch to buy another hatch was still there.
So 3 weeks ago a black Megane 225 came up...
Thought i'd post it here as it's an area thing. Pretty sure there's a south east club member who's brother does the paintless dent removal. Might have even been to a CSS show offering his services?. @Scrooge @Rob @Evil giraffe wasn't sure if you know the CS member, could point me in the right...
Spotted a Racing Blue 55 plate 182 on the way home back into Southend going through Prittlewell about 20 minutes ago. It was either being loaded or unloaded from a National Recovery low loader
I'm not convinced personally, I needed 2 new tyres so I bought new Michelin Pilots then swapped everything over to the Super Leggeras today. IMO it takes a lot to beat the OE 182 anthracite wheels.

Group B, WRC and other rally car exotica descend on the German town of Daun for 3 days for this annual event. Daun is pit paddocks to at least 150 rally cars from over 4 decades, surrounding towns host special stages with thousands of spectators all having the chance to see these cars being...
Was just wondering if anyone has fitted 40 profile 16" tyres to their 182. Is it a deal breaker? Only asking as there's a set fitted to some wheels for sale and wasn't sure whether it would make a massive difference or should stick to the OE 45 profile.
Cheers
Must be nice to own something like this, and race it. Oh, crap at PC tech so can't embed videos. Hopefully not a repost.

So this is a little background into how this project came about before I get into posting text and photo updates from now on.
As some of you local to me know I owned Christopher's old Racing Blue 182 before the Petrol Blue 182. The reason I sold the RB isn't the greatest story and how the...
I'm just in the process of making a list of parts on the engine that can be painted and/or powdercoated. Can anyone add to it? The engine will be taken out so i'll be painting the block, head and gearbox. Also what paint types have you used?
Top inlet
Lower inlet
Rocker cover
Cambelt cover
