Lol, somewhat off topic but which shop Eddie? I also used to race 1/10 touring and then 1/8 buggy.

Well done Andy. 👍🏼

Not that much more weight but around 1290kg and circa 350bhp. worth investigating the Ti shims though. The CLs having copper backs will only compound the issue. Cooper has exceptionally high thermal conductivity so yes it pulls heat from the surface of the pad it piles all that heat into your...

I’m on the Porsche 4 pots front and rear with bigger 2 piece GiroDiscs. these take the fronts to 345mm and rears to 335mm. RS29s, titanium shims and GT3 ducts complete the setup. They still get a solid work out on track even with cooling and ally uprights all round.

Never needed washers on either terminals in my experience.

Might be worth seeing if you can get some titanium shims laser cut for the backs of the pads. We used these on the Porsche to prevent heat transfer to the calipers and fluid. if you get some done, get a load done and sell some to fund your own. 🙂

@2bobbillionaire on Insta if anyone’s into all this young and trendy social media 😂

I’m 37 this year and have absolutely no intentions of growing up... ever 😂 I’ll always own a modified car, I always have. In fact I think I’ve modified everything I own in one way or other. 😂

AMG and Audi too, they’re all at it. It sounds absolutely s**t. Proper upshifts bangs created using a load cell and ignition cut is different gravy. This oem engineered in crap they think we want is awful. ☹️.

Modern DCTs are just f**king awful on upshift. Hearing one of those you just think “TOOL!”

Yeah they only 15 year old I’m getting in to is my Clio thanks 😂😂

So I’m 36 and only really started modding it 6 months ago. #penisalert 😂

That would look truly awful lol Either one should freshen the car a treat. I hope 😅

Ha! Well if that’s true, I’m glad to help inspire you. I hope that little car gives you as much enjoyment as mine has me. I absolutely love mine and seemingly know no bounds as to what it costs me to keep. Crazy lol. Wishing you all the very best with it. 😎👍🏼

That looks like a bloody lovely crisis to have. Enjoy. 🙂

Yep I knew, and yep, brothers from another mother lol. Lovely car there Darren 🙂

Gits!! @Darren61 @Dr Jekyll 2 stunning cars, I love em both. 🥰

Thanks for the kind words man, glad you approve. I’m trying to add only high end upgrades that genuinely improve the car as an ultimate fast road package. Ive not totally discounted the low boost setup, but for now I really like the original build ethic of the car with is big capacity NA...

I have to say they’re probably the best £11 quid I’ve thrown at the car so far. Such a significant improvement that I never knew I would be so pleased about. Lol.

Cheers boys, I have to admit that’s a large part of my thought process of liking the period style emblems. I still think they look great and suit the cars vintage. However as Mr Blonde has kindly shown above, the clean lines of the 197 style is also really appealing and makes for a fresh and...

We’re all on lockdown now anyway. 😅

Does look pretty mate i must admit. :)

So, the age old badge question. I cant decide between the OEM 182 or 197 rear badges. I've purchased both so i can decide. Plan is to remove al the emblems and machine polish the tailgate before refitting new ones along with the "Clio" badge. I still really like the original design, and wonder...

Excellent update as usual.

White plug in the fuse box got damp?

This, however, do yourself a favour and tape the socket to the extension. As if this falls off, youll have a royal pain in the arse fishing it out of the subframe. Also make sure you keep the rack nice and level as it helps get the new bushes in. They can be done in about an hour by someone...

Such a cracking looking little car :)

I owned mine from 8k miles to 84k miles. Sold it for a Mini GP1 (Absolute H.O.S!!) #fail Took me 4.5 years to get the car back, bought it back on 111k miles and have thrown everything at it to get it back to as it was before. Like many of us, i dare say im fortunate enough to be able to have a...

Spend the money, get the belts done and get it painted. Another car could be a few grand as it appears lovely on the outside and then need a good few grand on getting unseen issues sorted. 159k is sod all if the cars been cared and maintained. just enjoy it. :)

I've got a set of Northloop hubs to go on mine, (actually dropped them at the electroplaters today). I'm hoping these with the track rod cones will all but eliminate that and make the road manners even better. Josh Cook spec'd the ASTs especially for road at 70kg/40kg so should be interesting to...
