Great updates. Still think the best and most notable out of everything was getting the rear lights back to OEM and not tinted. Great work!

Funnily enough, had a call from the powdercoater today and the subframe and other bits are done. I just couldn't get them today. Pick them up Monday. Been keeping busy by refreshing the calipers as they were multiple colours and peeling. Stripped them back and gone for an OEM silver. Once the...

Lovely updates as per usual.

Knowing I'd have a fresh Subframe and ARB (and powerflex purple bushes) I could have old or at least rusty dirty hardware on it. Saw a hack on here about using citric acid to freshen things up. Overall pretty happy with how they came out. However the outer ARB brackets were beyond saving...

We got the Subframe off and eventually got the PAS line (that caused us to remove the Subrframe) off. Filled the PAS rack with fluid, went to fit the loop kit and I soon found out why the one line wouldn't come out, it had been cross threaded somehow. This now meant I couldn't loop the rack...

I have many an update. Firstly, picking up where I left off. The USB port issue abiuve was solved with a new USB plug. Wasn't a wiring issue but a fault with the USB port itself. It goes mildly down hill from here. I wanted to fit EPAS as my PAS system was leaking and at the last track...

Great updates. Currently going through the Subrframe pain myself. Where is the cage from?

Should add, the USB port/cigarette lighter still doesn't work but the CD player and climate does. Any help/advice/common issues before I mess something else up?

I collected the Clio, probably 2 weeks ago now, thought I'd updated this....anyway here it is It took a little while longer that anticipated, however it was worth the wait. The bodyshop also fitted the trophy spoiler which really sets it off. When I collected the Clio I asked if it...

For anyone googling or searching for an immobiliser answer, mine was the 15amp USB fuse in the engine bay. Looked visually fine but it turned out to be goosed. Replaced fired back in to life. Still no cigarette lighter power....problem for another day.

For a while my cigarette lighter (which is a USB port now due to previous owner) hasn't worked. I set about trying to fix it this weekend. I popped a multi meter on the wire/s to the USB/Cig lighter and some how shorted it. I heared a noise, albeit brief. Then the CD player and climate was...

Bodyshop emailed earlier in the week with an update and I asked if I could drop the spoiler off and have a look at it, which they had no problem with. Dropped the spoiler and side skirts off which will be fitted when I collect next week. I spoke to the actual fabricator to understand...

Popped to see @Toms_clio at the weekend to collect a replica V6 spoiler in RB. Believe it come from @Jekyll 's old car. No news on when I'm getting the clio back, but it's booked for an MOT on Saturday, hopefully I get it back before then. Also booked tickets to ClioSport Festival!

Love checking for updates on this. Keep it up.

Bodywork update. Firstly, it's in the bodyshop dropped it off 2 weeks ago Any one else have anxiety when dropping a car off to have work done "please don't ring me with bad news!" 2 weeks later and no phone call, no news is good news? There's a play centre right next door to the bodyshop...

Hey mate, recognise the name from IG. Definitely, should get a little drive out sorted for summer and a track day at Llandow sounds good.

Thanks both. @Louis good info in the resistors will remove and try again. @hopgop1 I think so. I mean, I've had a beer....so maybe. No I definitely did. 👀

Yes, another airbag light "help" request. Right then, recently I bought an RS tuner with airbag module. I was able to turn off all the airbag lights/sensors but when I went over bumps/turned the wheel the light would come back on. Over another bump and off and repeat. I plugged in the RS...

Update, worth a read kind of. RS Tuner: Since I've had my first clio, I always wanted to get my hands on an RS Tuner to see what the fuss was about and currently turn off the bloody airbag light. @Don’t call me Dave dropped me a DM as he was selling and knew I wanted one. What @Don’t call...

Studs are 82mm tip to tip. On the spacer thing, it's a real mix of opinion. Some say no bigger than X and others say (like @Louis ) 20mm is fine. I've not driven it yet so can't comment. @MrBlonde - Sliding into your dm's for spacers as I'd like the option to change it up etc.

No real updates as I'm waiting for my slot at the bodyshop, my garage is full of building materials which is stopping me from getting stuck in and the weather is mehhhhh. I've also been busy with my daily. I did find time to fit a stud&nut kit and some 18mm spacers to the front of the car. ...

That looks so fresh. Like it a lot.

I chased a 3rd quote today, they're renound for their work in my part of the world. It's a busy place, which I know speaks volumes but chasing for 3 weeks (they replied once and were nice enough) is annoying. Hopefully I'll have it booked it and I'll get this bit and the fuel filler done too...

Thanks both. I am also parts gathering, so far I have bought PMS AC delete v2 EPAS setup Battery relocation to the boot and need/to do: Tyres for the 2118's as the Toyos on them are dead (I have GITI's on the Team Dynamics) Rear discs and pads Quite like the idea of a rear cage Refurb rear...

This was the last photo I have before I spent the weekend doing all the above.

Lastly for this instalment: I have this issue.... I'm having a few quotes to repair this and looking to book in ASAP. Problem is the quotes I have received range from £400 - £1700. Ending on a high, I received this message through instagram: And some pics of when it was brand new...

The centre interior light was super bright and would ALWAYS bit lit. I took out this monstrosity I had a parcel arrive a little while ago from @Coops Mk1 a lovely v6 spec spoiler in RB. Sadly it arrived like this: Gutted was and still is an understatement. Credit to @Coops Mk1 for sorting...

Long time no update. Not much has really happened, well nothing big and no track days etc. I'm having an extension built on my house, which is sapping funds and also garage space as that's where the building materials are living. Highly annoying. I've been ticking off some smaller jobs in...

Loving the progress mate. How have the stub axles been done wrong?

Good updates. Is that spare wheel tied down at all?
