G'day fellas. A Tassie road trip has been on the cards for a while, but we finally put our ass into gear a few months back and booked some ferry tickets. Our group consists of all OZRS members with an Arctic Blue 182 Cup (me), Glacier White R27 (buddy), Megane 225 F1 Team (CHRIS-172), Lunar Grey...
Convinced my mate he needed an RS in his life, not a GTI. So he bought a white R27 from Melbourne and we flew down on Saturday night and drove it home the fun way to Sydney on Sunday - only took 12 hours!
Anyway, just grabbed a few quick pics of welcoming him to the RS family (all of us have...
Hey fellas,
Organised a drive day in Sydney weekend before last. Ended up with about 14 cars which was a decent turn out! Took in the usual highlights of the Royal National Park, Mt. Keira and Macquarie Pass south of Sydney and had a pie at lunch at Robertson. Was good to get out again and...
Hey lads and ladies. Just did this update on another forum and thought I'd post it here too:
Just a few updates (been too busy lately :( ).
Been on the track a few more times now. Still not timed on a dry day at Wakefield since the first one but got a 1:58.7 at Eastern Creek (2nd time...
Been a bit busy over summer but progress has continued on my/dad's 172 track car (quaife, seats & half-cage going in). I gave my 182 a good detail while on hols in Jan and got it nice and clean. And Dad has been enjoying his R26, as you would expect ;)
But in December, an opportunity came up...
Hey fellas. My 172 is having a Quaife ATB LSD fitted at the moment and I bought a new standard clutch to fit too, but my mechanic has suggested looking at an uprated clutch because of the extra forces placed on the driveline created by the LSD.
Has anyone had problems with the standard clutch...
Exhaust noise :eek:
Wheel spin :approve:
What else is there? ;)
My dad was lucky enough to have this for 3 days this week. It hauls... :rasp:

C+C welcome!
The first phI Clio v6 has just arrived in Sydney and is now driving around trying to avoid the pot-holes. To celebrate a few of us met up and took some photos and then some of us went for a blat through "the Nasho" :cool:
This came down to check things out too :cool...
Pics were taking back in August in the Carriageworks in Sydney. C+C welcome :cool:

Hey everyone. I've had my 182 since Nov '06 and have been slowly modding it for track days/fast road. It was also my daily driver. A cheap 172 came up for sale nearby back @ the end of May and my Dad (who's got a Meggy R26) and I went to check it out. Paint was mint, drove pretty well, had...
Hey fellas. I am fitting my Sportlines (rears are done) and am having trouble getting the bolts out of the front shocks/hub, although I have gotten all of the nuts off, no problems.
I have followed fubar's & crispy's guides & they just mention putting on lots of WD40 & using a rubber mallet. I...
Well it's been a busy year down here with lots of Clio related action. Me personally? I attended the 2nd annual OzRenaultsport Nationals, this year held in Goulburn (2hrs south of Sydney) and got on the track for the 2nd time this year. I went to (& organised some of them) 8 meets for our Aussie...
Hey fellas,
Just thought I'd share some pics I took of the latest meet & drive we had in Sydney on Sunday 20/4. Had about 16 cars at various stages - 9 RSCs, 2 RSMs, 1 mkV GTi, 1 206 GTi180, 1 147 GTA, 1 Focus ST & 1 405 mi-16
Pics were taken in the Sth Coast area, between 1 & 2 hrs drive...
