Not sure if anyone will know but I'm trying to put as little weight bak in the car as possible. I've decided to do things properly and go for a 6 point weld in cage. Does anyone know the weight of an omp cage or oreca race cage? Cheers

As above, have the chance of getting one of these, its only the rear section, are they any good and will they provide any kind of safety if the car ends up on his roof or will it do more damage to me rather than save my life? I'm aware a full weld in cage is better but not sure of the pro's &...

Some who know of me will know I've had this clio cup for around 10 months now, in that time Its seen many sets of wheels, suspension and exhaust systems :o After going through a spell of wanting another trophy, I decided to invest my time and money in the cup instead, its only had 2 owners...

Hi Guys, been weighing up going forced induction or N/A, I know a lot of the issues you can get with boost but do people with ITB's experience any problems at all? Also what sort of power are you getting with cams? Cheers

Wasnt sure which section to stick this in so here goes At the minute I'm busy putting the clio on a diet, I'm not going silly I.e chopping parts of the panels out as one day it will be returned to a road car when I get bored. I'm wondering what people have removed to get them as light as...

Been posting up a few pics lately but just of updates, not a propper clean Here they are, Carbon washer blanks and darker wheel refurb coming soon

Been after a Carbon fibre bonnet for the car for a long time, the original had some paint missing and the usual press down dents off the last 'lady' owner. Picked this up, paid a little over the odds but its in decent condition, not quite sure if I like it yet as I think it looks a tad chavy...

Wanting some advice really, just recently got a carbon bonnet and I want to fit Aero Catches to it. Where is the best place to position them and where did you fit the securing bolt ?

Hi guys, my current kestral Rotary gave up on me the other day, will be looking to replace it in the new year, what do people recommend for around £150? I want something good with a good track record and no problems. Cheers

Just wondering if you get any more 'lock-ups' with the extra braking force and lack of abs? Do you need to change anything else apart from the caliper/carrier? Is there any more pedal travel than with standard calipers I'm planning on upgrading mine in the near future so would love to know the...

Recently changed my wheels from turini's to these to save a little bit of weight, Cup is currently stripped at the rear awaiting the next phase of weight reduction. Currently sitting at exactly 1000 kg's with the air-con still to come out Again sorry for the poor quality pics, Iphone...

Anybody ever ran this width on 15s? Particularly 2118's or are they too wide?

As title, whats the differences? I fancy like dropping down wheel size and want some 2118's ideally, or ultraleggeras

Me and my good mate popped along to a local weigh bridge to see what the differences were. We both had similar fuel loads (Around 10 litres) and nothing in the car, everything standard. His without air con was 1020kg Mine with air con was 1040kg So theres 20kg somewhere or another enclosed...

Quick pic request for a mate of mine, I'm sure someone called Tim had a white 197 with white speedlines on coilovers. IF anyone has pics of that particular one or a one similar it would be cool, Cheers

This is my girlfriends Clio Dci 65bhp, she bought it completely standard and she's chose the mods and I've ended up fitting them :) she bought it to replace her 172. Mods so far: Coilovers 182 cup wheels 25mm spacers 3/4 front plate 172 interior Austin-182 alcantara trim pack Omp...

Have a cheeky bid ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320756816056

Hi guys, I've fitted coilovers to the gf's dci, tried to refit the 182 cup wheels to it and they were fowling on the coilover and they wouldnt even sit flush on the hub. The same was for the standard wheel. Am I in need of some spacers? I think 10mm is going to be needed. Where is best to get...

Right guys, apologies for my last thread, for some reason my work computer pushes all my words together so it reads terrible. I've had to push this back a little further as I'm actually going away this saturday ...DOH! I'm going to do this back to the 24th September, that way we can get the...

This saturday I'm going on a little journey of some of the best roads the north has to offer. Setting off from durham services at around 8.00 am, heading up to hartside, grab a bacon sarnie at the cafe, head down to penrith, top up the fuel tank with V power at the local shell. Then Head along...

Offering this to North-East members onlyBasically remove all the fading from the top of your headlights and restore them to a great clear finish again. I've got plenty of pictures of my workI want £30 for a pair of headlights done, you bring the car to me, or I can come to you iff you have an...

As Above, this came on this morning, cut the car out completely, as I was flat out at the time and running late it let me down. I actually thought the cambelt had gone, pulled over, fired it back up, drove it for a couple of mins, nailed it again and it did it again. After that it was ok. I will...

Wondering if anyone can help, recently purchased some vmaxx coilovers, only a couple months old and since I've fitted them I've been getting a banging noise from the rear when I go over bumps, I thought it could be the shocks bottoming out so I raised the car slightly, still the same. Could it...

Decided having a compromise just wasn't for me, so the eibachs have sold and back to coilovers it is. I've also fitted some black xenons from a normal 172 to smarten it up and make it less poverty spec One of my favourites Future plans: Wheel refurb in high power silver...

As thread title, pretty sure its 58 but need to make certain before I purchase coilovers

As the title really, on some sort of crazy quest to create a fun B road blaster I'm on the lookout for some Trophy front shocks. I know the hub spacing is different on them, so apart from hubs will I have to change anything else to alter the track width?

Popped down my mates to have a look at a rear cage for the cup and saw that the trophy had been dropped back down on its feet, thought I'd get a little pic to show how good it looks on compomotives :)

Standard'ish :) After leaving the 2118's with their new owner, on the way home on the salisbury plains I stopped at one of the tank crossing's and got some pics of the clio as it stands. Nice drop from the Eibach sportlines Then two of my favourites Thanks for looking

Some may have known i got rid of 007 at the beginning of the year to a mate who had big plans for it. Sadly he's got a superbike now and not interested. I miss it quite a lot even though it lost me a fortune, I've got some recaro's for it, only need an engine, some sachs dampers, turini's...

Decided after putting this off for a while, that it was time to sort out the front of the cup. Ever since buying it, the washer blanks have been on the wrong sides, the standard cup splitter has left me paranoid and the headlights had gone dull/yellow over time. I also had some other jobs to...
