You could possibly trim the slam panel down - but I remember when I tried to refit mine with the 90mm trumpets in place that the locking mechanism was only about 5-10mm away I remember thinking about the only thing that would fit is socks and they sap power Even that filter you've linked...

Mate of mine is selling his http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330864179425?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

LOL In my previous experience there for "car show" days like FCS - more exciting = lots of people going home on recovery trucks It's not a very forgiving track for people who misjudge it :(

Nope - there's no room for a filter - you have to lose the slam panel with nearly all jenvey setups unless you run really small trumpets and then you're just sacrificing power :( The 90mm trumpets on mine just about touched the slam panel without a filter fitted

Really? Photography-on-the.net and the other photography forums are a far better resource for camera knowledge than the ones on here

They're those silly captive nuts that just clip into a hole - you need to soak them with WD40 for a few days before you start, I did that when I dropped my subframe to fit my 182 manifold and still one of the bolts wouldn't undo :( If they start spinning around it's nearly impossible to get a...

LMFAO I must admit I have never got the thing about staying on a forum cos mates are on it - that's what facebook is for

That write up from Fred sounds easy but it's a b**ch The bolts holding the steering rack to the subframe are nearly impossible to get too - that's why most people undo the pinch bolt on the end of the steering column - then you can lower the subframe 4-6" with the steering rack still attached...

You're about the 3rd person to tell me I don't read things properly this week - so maybe I don't lol

Stunning work - I can't believe you're only 20mins from my house too!! I'd love to have the Clio done properly, maybe one day...

That's the main reason I've kept mine - with all the euro emissions crap these days the only way to make a quick car is boosted. It's one of the last big engined N/A french hatchbacks.

Ahh yeah non-cup so yours is ABS controlled - as Dan has said I'd check they're freed up. The rear calipers are a s**t design in my opinion, they seize up quite easily. Just jack one rear corner up and see if they spin freely Could be the shocks - but they'd have to be VERY wrong to make the...

Simply not true, if I had the time I'd pull out some quotes, but things like "It's not a very good engine to start with" are thrown around quite a lot aswell as people saying there are much better cars for the money. Maybe it's just the impression I get because I mainly talk to the same group...

:D thanks mate It's been very well looked after - I certainly haven't scrimped on anything it has needed. Sir_Dave put a ton of motorway miles on it while he had it, and it's been to the 'ring and back twice which put about 7k alone on it It's getting back to average mileage now though cos I...

The cost of things is a huge issue and I have no idea why ITB's on a clio - £2.5-3k, ITB's on a 106 £1500 Roll cage on a clio - £800+, Roll cage on a 106 £200 KW V2's on a clio - £1k+, top spec coilovers on a 106 £500 They're both french cars from similar eras - I really can never...

It's usually rear brakes coming on too hard Could be your brake compensator valve?

Mines on 117k, original drive shafts, gearbox, head gasket etc.. - it's had one cambelt and dephaser change but just coming up to needing another one now Made over 170bhp standard and now makes 195bhp with jenvey ITB's etc... get's ragged to death around track and it never skips a beat Well...

I guess that makes sense - the people with saxos/106s etc.. generally are their first fast car, not many buy something better and then go back to be honest This place does seem to have a lot of people who've owned clios, gone onto something else and then come back. It's still a bit weird...

I can see this is instantly going to be an "I love clios" thread and make me look an idiot haha :D

This is a genuine question, I'm not s**t stirring or trying to start a war.. Coming from 106owners people on there will defend 106's to the death, they destroy everything on track blah blah etc.. SaxP is the same and so is every other car forum I've dealt with, full of people passionate...

^^ Entirely this I got talked into viewing my Cup by Sir_Dave as it was one of his old cars and although he'd chucked 60k on it in 2 years it had 2-3 oil changes a year, regular proper services and a book of invoices 2" thick I bought it 2 years ago with about 90k on the clock and it's...

Eh? I didn't quote anything? And of course I'm still here :| You realise that going to buy some wheels IN PERSON and then complaining about them and taking the young lad to court afterwards is the equivalent of me going to buy a new camera, looking at just the box, paying cash and then winging...

Gotta say there's a LOT of this thread spent moaning about buying stuff You bought wheels and they turned out to be the wrong colour when you washed them? Well you collected them could you not have noticed that or rubbed one with a rag before paying? Went to buy wheels and one was buckled which...

Yep noise restrictions means 20 cars maximum - will be pretty sparse

I know some of the locals will disagree with me like mad - but after watching chips videos again *yaaawn*. It's such a boring track

The map changes both the ignition timing and the mechanical timing VVT yo!

Fit bodies...

Yeah as above - it doesn't reduce the vibration it stops the knocking. Leave the gearbox and bottom dog mount loose then grab the top of the engine near the drivers side engine mount and pull it forward then tighten that mount and then the gearbox top mount and then the dogbone mount It just...

Holy s**t it get's worse on here every day! LOL
