Nice one Russ. Will order some now.

Yesterday a mate and I set about fitting the Coilovers. It was one of those jobs on a car that you think will take 2/3hrs....but ended up taking 6hrs. Front driver side came off nice. I went to make a brew and my mate (Liam) came running in with a sheepish look. "you need to come look at...

Great updates as always. Although the seats are "a done thing" they just work so well and suit it perfectly. Can I ask where you got your resistor from and did it come prept in the yellow shrink?

Good updates. Looking forward to seeing it up and running. Hope the missus is good too? When's the due date? 😬

BC DS coilovers arrived next day delivery from @Kamracing cannot fault the service at all. Coilovers look the business. Hopefully fitting this weekend. I choose 8kg/8kg as that seems to be the middle group between a b road blast and a track day. Time will tell. As previously mentioned I...

I'll be there. After the success and feedback from the last caffiene and machine meet, I was wondering if anyone would like me to take some proper photos of their cars? Say 10 photos of your car, you'll receive the high res copies etc £10. All of which I will donate to charity? Does CSOS...

For those that haven't seen @MrBlonde 's clio. Here it is. Everything is just right.

I'd like to think so. I had a delivery message from KAM/DPD saying delivery tomorrow! Went for 8kg F/R which I think is standard so maybe they have them in stock ready to go. I'll get them on this weekend if that's the case! Then I'm contemplating a half cage, possibly. It's amazing how...

Now the tracking was sorted I started using the Clio a little bit more to see if/what more niggles it had. Apart from the decat bodge, rattling heat shield and the really rattley PMS it went and stopped really well. A few more pics Then back home to start more tinkering.... Headlight...

Some more I am working through....

Would love to come but it's 4hrs each way for me. I don't think I could handle the PMS rattle for that long! Have a blast guys!

Morning all, Thanks for arranging the meet. Had a great time! Can we wear name badges next time, I just can't face walking up to people as calling them by their user name "oh hi, you must be RB182TURBOBOI" Anyway, here is a selection of my photos, I'll upload more soon. Give my media page a...

Dislike. Ah well, excuse for another meet in the future!

Save me digging through numerous posts, what time are you meeting at jct 9? It'll be a hell of a sight for anyone 45 Clios convoying down the road....😲😆

Anyone travelling up from Cardiff/Bristol way?

Thanks both, I've got an Instagram page for my photography work, although it's taken a backseat for a while. However taking the photos of the Clio made me realise how much I enjoy it. Its @bowz_media if anyone wants to see more. I'll be at caffeine and machine meet. I'll bring my camera and...

After having all of the bits done and the alignment sorted I took it out for it's first proper spin in my ownership. Pleased to say it is awesome. Rattling heatshield and the heatshield under the shifter tower needs reinstating as it's no there. Slight blow on the exhaust. I also do a bit of...

After fitting all of the above parts, and counting the threads of the inner tie rods the tracking was way, way out. I couldn't make it down my street without the steering wheel fighting me and the tyres sounding like I was a champion drifter. Nursed it home, licked my wounds and went to insta...

Just took it down the road. I may, no I HAVE, messed up. So the tracking is way, way out. Car is crabbing down the road and tyres are screeching at 5mph...... Ughhh.

Oil and filter Fresh spark plugs PBS pads Brembo HC discs Decat which I bodged where it meets the KTEC cat back. Will need to look at that again soon. Powerflex upper engine mount insert. Wheel alignment tomorrow and then I can use it! Still need to wash it.

Hey Russ, Bowen from IG. Top work on the shifter, I'll be following your route on making it silent.

I'll remind you..... Also beer /coffee tokens here as I've got a few lights needing extinguishing. Appreciate your there to enjoy yourself and not there to be turning dash lights off but if you can, then I'd be eternally grateful. 😊

No I'm on my macbook and not my phone and these images are huge, I can see how stinking it is. Need to throw a bucket over it!

Ha. Yes mate! Fabia VRS days. Nothing beats a PD lump. Remember your detailed build, was it an ibiza FR you had? Got a clio thread on here?

Some of you may recall I bought an Arctic Blue 182 to keep me busy through lockdown etc. I finally got it up to scratch had a blast at a local trackday and then a mate who I'd been bugging for a year to buy his 182, decided to sell it. The one I should have bought. Originally he planned to...

Well took me 2 days (with work getting in the way) but I finally finished your thread! Brilliant read. Looking forward to updates when you get it back on the road.

So my time with the Clio came to an end.... The car did its job over lockdown keeping me busy and out of trouble. However and opportunity came up to buy another car that I wanted to tinker with and enjoy. Yep another Clio. This was ownwd by a mate of mine for the last 6 years...
