Did you manage to get that rear bumper trim on? Difficult to see from pictures.

My first foray into the Clio Sport world was this 54-plate Black Gold 182 FF. This is the day I collected it in Sept 2017. 109,000 miles on the clock and I paid £1,275 for it. It came with an ITG intake which I sold a few days later for £250 so £1,025 using Man Maths. I then spent -...

@ripp - from my suspension post "Switched a couple of bolts for some genuine spares I had lying around. I’ll get a couple of new ones this week ..." The camber bolts were initially fitted to the BC Racing Coilovers, which I've since replaced. A case of using what was available at the time. AST...

Adam Gears is the perfect name in this situation. You eventually won’t be able to select any 😂

Sorry first part of your question. Slipping is when the friction material on the clutch disc wears down. When it becomes too thin, it can no longer grip the flywheel effectively, causing it to slip.

You’ll notice the engine RPMs rising without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. Usually when the engine is under load.

I wouldn’t do anything until it starts slipping. My missus Tucson has 70,000 and that had a high biting point. We had the clutch changed when it also went in for gearbox synchros and the old clutch was in good condition.

New belts pretty much in, just the straps to fix and adjust on the roll bar. I’ve never used Motomec products before but the car came with a set of 4-point belts which are really comfortable. Sadly I can’t get away with them. I like to be properly strapped in. They look really good quality...

Ordered. Great timing as I’ve just noticed the end of the pipe work is missing off my NSF. I think the steel wheels ripped it off on the way to the circuit. Only just put them on as well. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Time to sort the fans out before Croft next week. Picked up a cheap digital temperature gauge/sensor and an M12 and M10 mm 3-way T adapter from Car Builder. I wanted to retain the factory temperature sensor and monitor temperatures without drilling additional holes in the pipework for the...

I bought mine brand new a few years back but if you’re saying a dealer can get you some for £65, order them. I’ve seen them sell second hand for more than that. Let us know if you order some and when they arrive.

182 arch liners?

Is the plan to make the Renault badge interchangeable? It would be cool if it was as a lot of wheel refurb centres can paint the centre caps separately. I think that might be the biggest challenge.

All your wheels look great. I liked the gold EVO Corse combination you had, but that's just me. I think the factory look never gets old, so when a car has the standard cup or optional Turnini's fitted, it just looks right.

Perfection right there ☝️ You're like a car chameleon with serious commitment issues 🤣

Looks brand new. That isn't seeing the road, Nick.

I've seen a few Clio's using front splitters combined with rear spoilers—namely Pro-Am and Frogjam—and I understand the potential benefits given they're highly developed race cars, especially the Frogjam car with 240 bhp. Any downsides to having just the front splitter? More oversteer and...

Nope pretty straight forward. I may have removed the inlet. It was a long time ago.

I'm sure @Jekyll made some. Not sure f he has a file though. https://cliosport.net/threads/speedline-2118-centre-caps.831106/

It's an old picture and not very detailed, but this is how I fitted a sheet of Nimbus in my circuit car. I just removed the header tank bottle from the bulkhead, then added some heat tape to the left and right of it. Used self-tapping screws to secure it along with washers. It was just a sheet...

@FrogJam Motorsport

Good shout. It happened to me at Cadwell once and halfway round the stomach cramps kicked in. Set the fastest lap that day I can tell you.

Exactly like mine were. You can still a bit in the image I posted. I just gave them another coat and it all went.

I bought these off a chap and they were in good condition but had some proper crusty dust which wouldn’t come off with a general purpose wheel cleaner. Used some Bilt Hamber Korrosol and it literally dissolved it. I’m running CL6 pads which are good for destroying wheel paint if you don’t...

I suspected it would be close. It’s why I never went for one after my i30N. Clio is the better all round car imo. Wish I was back over there. Maybe next year. Ps. There’s a PMS 240 engine for sale on faceache 😉

Cracking shot. Is it behaving itself?

Looks all good to me. Obviously, I can't see all of it, but I assume this is how it's assembled.

A short break in the weather so took Muttley down to Saltburn for a quick run on the beach - me in the distance. I’d only been down there a few minutes and got a ping on my phone - “Is that you mate?” Haha I’m looking all over the place expecting to be shot by a sniper before realising it’s...
