Right a little update!
Had the car for a few weeks now and done over 1500 miles, all I can say is how good it is to drive! (once i've spent a few pennies on it!)
Had a stuttering/hesistation when driving that would cause it to run on 3 cylinders at times so replaced all the coils, seemed to...
Buy a £500 diesel runaround with long tax and test, swap the insurance over to it from the clio and declare the clio SORN for the time being. That means you can chop the tax in on the clio which will give you a lump of money towards a car, insurance will be no doubt half the price and fuel bills...
Re: Wanted: Quaife / Gripper Diff
Nah Tony I didnt mean to cause you offense as you know a darn sight more than me! Just think it's the others in this thread who look at what one person says and agree with them to make them look big/clever when they havent read what I said properly.
But...

Awesome stuff! I'm guessing it makes around the 212bhp 170ft/lb mark. Get the results asap! ;)
Tom, as per pms and what Revels has said. I'd be picky as if you have to spend a shed load on the first one you see then you'll quickly fall out of love with the car like I did when I first got mine!

Re: Wanted: Quaife / Gripper Diff
No I totally agree with you Tony in terms of racing, i'm sure it would make a huge difference.
However there seems to be a few idiots on here who clearly didnt read my post fully. I was refering to Dave who created this thread, who is not racing and will...
Fletch - I may have a B&M shortshifter available in the coming weeks ;) Its off a Megane 2.0 16v which is the same setup as the Mk1 clios, and I think there the same as the Mk2's!
Also have you seen the price for a shortshifter, a megane one new is £250! If mine fits you can have it for £50...
I love everything apart from that rear spoiler, they could of done something similar to CSL bootlid maybe to create downforce if it needs it in comparison to that spoiler.
I'd imagine similar to the CL brake pads...
10x 30mph to idle/rolling,
10x 70mph to 20mph,
100-120mph to 40mph.
Obviously dont do that all without a few breaks in between, just drive for a minute or so without using the brakes so they cool down a little and then continue on with the bedding in.
Re: Wanted: Quaife / Gripper Diff
Unless your running a silly amount of camber or stupid power (over 300bhp) not really a need dave i'd say. I run 3 degrees of neg camber on the front and around 220bhp per tonne and never had a problem with traction loss on track.
Just spend them pennies on...
This!
Tbh i couldnt give a flying f**k if someone else is quicker than me around a track in a standard car with tuition, people do what they do to there cars for the enjoyment and thats all it should be about... I like the fact that my cars a piece of crap yet feels absolutely savage when...
Ah right forgive my negative post then Paul, thought that only K-tec mapped there own gen90 ecu and no one else. Hence why I said it should of been done completely at TDF.
Its definately not cheaper as I own/insure two cars, however I dont do it to save money. I do it as one's nice and comfy to drive and the other ones my toy to play with whenever I want.
I think anyone thats thinking of running 2 cars to save moneys stupid frankly, unless you do 50k+ miles a...
Lol you guys need to chill! When buying a second car did I ever say that it needed to be economical? The way I look at it is i'll now be driving the Audi 90% of the time and only really using the clio for trackdays, going out for a mad 5 minutes and the odd breakfast run. So I dont see spending...
Marco - I've kinda said I'd give someone the engine/gearbox. But if that fell through I'd probably say £500 without the silver 2118's, could make much more in bits though.
Cheers dude, tbf I actually am enjoying in comfort and quietness, no rattles either! Could do with a little more power which will be sorted in due course ;)
