Nice little double spot at lunch today, a tidy Cortina and a Suzuki Cappuccino.

Supposedly these guys up in Scotland are now producing the RS2 intakes as they've gained the rights to it, not sure if anyone has actually managed to buy one off them however: https://www.flatoutperformance.co.uk/#&gid=1589341250&pid=9

With no MOT and no known history of the belts being done, I'd probably say that's worth maybe £2k at the most. I bought my nimbus grey 197 (non-cup) a couple of years back when the market was really inflated, for £2.5k on 99,000 miles, and was in the same state as yours with no MOT and the...

It’s not the batteries that were the issue, it’s the key itself. See if my method works, it’s easy enough to try. Otherwise it’s off to Renault for a new key, hopefully they still make them.

When my key was dying, I used to have issues starting the car unless I held down the button on the fob while starting the ignition. Sounds a bit wonky but it helped me start it for about 8 months until the key finally died and I had to go to Renault for a new one.

Well I've bought my weekend ticket and booked on for the full day! My clio is still in a million pieces, so let's see how this goes 😬

I was at Anglesey last week, no noise testing at all so I wouldn't worry.

1460kg without a driver I think, if you go for the bigger battery 150hp version.

0-62 in 7.9s, which is alright for a 150hp electric box. Plus this isn't the performance version, so not sure why you'd expect it to be rapid.

Continuing on with my mini-rant, what on earth do the new rally 3 & 4 cars have to do with the 'Hard Chargers' theme? Surely you'd be going for more cars that were known to be tough and could battle on, like the Octavia WRC? All seems a bit hashed together to me. Maybe they've switched focus...

I can't get my head around why they've added the '99 Focus, which was barely developed and massively overweight, when they could add the '03-04 Focus which would be much improved over the '01 Focus we have already. Plus the '03 Focus would give the Xsara a good fight in game based on the stats...

If I make a "Brrr" noise when I use it, does that make it powered...

I'm really impressed with it so far tbf, jacked my Megane up with ease. Only issue was I didn't quite realise how heavy it was, it's just shy of 40kg! I looked like a right plonker heaving the box across the carpark when I picked it. I stupidly turned down the Halfords' man when he offered to...

I got a halfords voucher for christmas, so I figured I might as well upgrade my jack. I went for the 3tonne low profile as it was only an extra £15 over the 2T when I used my tradecard. Safe to say I might have overdone it slightly... :LOL:

Fronts are from Brembo, rear callipers are supplied by TRW. Fairly sure you can still get them new, they might even be on Autodoc for pretty cheap.

I did the exact same thing on the opening lap of CSF23, blew the plug clean out the head. Thankfully I hadn't ruined any of the threads, so I popped it back in and it's been solid ever since.

That's the only version of the game that's really worth playing. Has hundreds of stages, great online rallies and the most up-to-date physics the game can handle. Be warned though, I think it's over 100gb due to all the stages. It's a little bit tricky to install, but if you follow the guide...

KamRacing appear to still have Phase 1 shocks in stock: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-dampers-renault-clio-mk2-rs-172-non-cup-phase-1.html And 182 non cups: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-dampers-renault-clio-mk2-rs-182-non-cup-54mm-bolt-spacing.html

That looks correct. When it's tightened up, the lower hook of the bar goes tight to the bottom of the mount. Not sure what the other hooked bit on the mount is for. Of course I could be majorly wrong but that looks fine to me.

Yes sorry the dogbone is right, it's for the black rod that attaches to that!

That's the bracket that sits on the outside of the gearbox at the bottom, to hold the rod attached to shifter linkage in place. I might have a picture of one somewhere. Edit: Terrible picture but it sits down here:

Right I get you, yeah you should be able to fit the 23.5's then, it just might be a squeeze getting them on. As long as they don't tear during fitting, you should be fine.

Right I get you. Like I say you could fit the 23.5mm's, but they'll be smaller than standard so the handling may suffer.

If you've got a non sport and want to fit a 23.5mm, it'll be a squeeze getting the bracket to clamp properly but it should be do-able as it's only .5 bigger than stock. But if you've got a Sport and go to fit a 23.5, it'll be 1.5mm too small so your antiroll bar will be really slack potentially.

These are the one's you want, they match the OEM number too: https://www.powerflex.co.uk/product-details/Front+Anti+Roll+Bar+Inner+Bush+25mm/326.html

I've got Megane R26 Recaro Trendlines in my 172, fitted to the stock Clio rails and Jon Foz lowering brackets. That's probably the cheapest way to do it, other than fitting the Evo or Accord Trendlines, but they don't have the ability to fold so you won't be able to access the back seats.

https://www.youtube.com/@juiceboxforyou It's a great channel! The highlights are their trips to Japan, they have a good time without being obnxious youtubers lol

Now live on Steam, I'd say £26.39 is a decent price.

I'm not too worried about the devs, they've set out a sensible timeline of releases and it seems like they've constantly tried to downplay expectations.. They haven't gone all in on hyping it up which is a good sign.

I'm super excited for this, the open world they're releasing later this year looks like a gamechanger! Plus the early access cars are focusing more on road cars rather than race cars, which makes a change from their usual GT3 stuff.
