15 but....... They do look to small?

Looks like TD1.2s then. I like the 2118s so might look for a set of them aswell First off get the Suzukas back and then start the hunt. Cheers for the help

Et35 but i’ve tried with a 10mm spacer and it need at least another 20mm on top. Whith the ET37 2118s do you need a spacer as well? I do expected to run a spacer but I don’t want this to be massive! Cheers

Hi I’ve downgraided my brembo conversion from the 300mm disc to a 280mm disc so I can run a 15’ alloys going forward. I splashed out on some brand new Calibre Suzuka wheels but they are fouling on the inner step of the alloy by quite some way. Luckily I can return them but i’m interested in what...

The first one I owned was this mint Orion 1.6i ghia. Awesome car until a went to work one morning, span on a patch of black ice and carried an Orion to escort conversion out on a lamppost. The drivers seat hadn’t been reclined, it pulled the floor up and snapped down the centre. I then...

One wheel with a brand new 888r on is 16.0kg. Always want to meet you again on a trackday as we were so even last time! Both cars have come along way since we met but i’ve seen all th trick bits you’ve been putting on yours so i’d probably be left for dust 🙈 Cheers Chris

Managed to get the new rear wheels on the car. I had to buy some ‘tuner’ bolts as the bore of the hole is thinner than the standard wheel/TD1.2s. I also had to cut down the studs. Mine are stupid long from when I ran the 25mm spacers. When i’m happy with all 4 wheels on the car I will buy the...

400 mile road trip to pick this up last night It’s now halfway home at my Mum and Dads as the timing for it was poor as the clio is sat in my garage on bricks and axle stands! It towed really nicely behind the Passat. Didn’t even know it was there tbh. It will fit in my garage with about...

I’ve been busy, thought I had the car ready to use this year but the quest to make it faster, better and eventually a race car has seen me make some changes and dig deep into some funds First off removing all the wheel. So hard to do in a single garage! These were collected which released...

Same but 15’ in anthracite probably. Want to get a few sets so I can run slicks, cut slicks and wets. I have the brackets already for the conversion back to a 280mm front disc. Someone just shared a link to 50% off @ euros (2 hours only!) so i’ve just purchased some brembo discs for £44! Result

I’ve uploaded all the vids from Monday. Funniest/best moment is in this session just after 5.15. I’m surprised we didn’t end up facing the other way! GoPro did the usual job of making things look less exciting than they are 😊 The clio feels controllable when the back starts to move...

Excellent day at Bedford today but didn’t start well. Went up in convoy with my mate who help build the Clio. Nice journey up when just before we came off the dual carageway then boom. He hit a dead badger in th road (unsighted from another car) which threw all sorts of garbage over my car...

Track day tomorrow in the morning and the weather prediction is dry :grinning: I taxed the clio (cost the same as a 2011 X5 which is insane!) and then took it for a drive. Result the new wheel bearings have fixed the rumbling. Time to sort out a couple of bits. Binned of the cheap tow hook...

Taxed it, how the hell is a Clio £280 a year to tax?!?!

Nice car, it’s silver so it’s going to be fast :smile: Silly question time! I’ve just brought the same tow hook but it’s to short to fit as the hoop would sit behind the grill/bumper. How did you make yours fit? Cheers

I replaced mine last year. It was one of the worst jobs i’ve done on the car! There are some good tips in this link....... https://www.cliosport.net/threads/front-wheel-bearing-removal.807709/

Great day to work on the car?! Decided to stay warm and dry so backed the clio into the garage. This made the job a little longer but we had the heater going aswell to keep us motivated. Changing he rear discs and bearings actually turned out to be a nice little job for a change as all...

I’ve been fiddling a bit with silly bits due to the rubbish weather and dark nights. Had some of the stripe material left so wrapped the Renault badges the same colour. Also ordered some other bits including a tow hook. I ordered one and they send two:smile: Also an extra big mirror so...

I run ds1.11 at the fronts (with brembo 4 pots) and ds2500 at the rear on my 182. Never had any issues in the two years I have run them. Predictable, no fade on the hotest of days, brilliant performance and last forever (the rears). I recommend them

Different colours (possibly a different scoop) but this is one with a scoop and stripes......

Booked Bedford 5th Feb. Was only £99. Weirdly I don’t think i’ll mind if it’s wet as I haven’t had the Clio out in the wet yet. Bedford one of the better tracks with some weather?! Ordered some new rear brake discs/bearings at the weekend as somethings grumbling since the last trackday. Need to...

Managed to finish off painting the trim parts. I also have managed to cover up the paint blemish on the roof scoop with a grey Unionjack sticker!

I mention this on my build thread and a couple of people said they had the same! I thought the car had a bump before I owned it and the owner was pissed off about it 😂

My mind had wondered abit over the Christmas period. I found myself in Halfords and came out with some crap that won’t make the car any faster! First up was some white side lights. I now have the urge to replace the rear number plate light. As you can see the new number plate is on. Fair play...

Santa came early for me! The tow car has arrived. My first hybrid car. Combined 218ps with 8 speed gearbox. It’s a strange sensation moving with no noise. It definatly doesn’t hang about! Compared to the equivalent petrol/diesel car this will save me around £1000 a year on company car tax! So...

The Clio got demoted to living outside for three weeks whilst the building work was finished off. This coincided with some appalling weather. It’s only a car but these days it’s not the most weatherproof car! I did my best by taping up the roof vent etc. This was all fine until I went to remove...

I see you’re in this video from around 18.20 and 52.00........ The first one looked abit close! I was surprised to see how much traffic there was on such a big track

Is this a recognised design fault? Do you keep changing the engine every 8000 miles until the warranty runs out or does the warranty reset to the day the new engine went in? I had this from brand new.... It was my dream car having grown up with a RS turbo, then cosworth etc. A fast ford in...

I did start a thread on your videos a few weeks ago.... https://www.cliosport.net/threads/road-race-budget-track-car-clio-182-youtube-series.812637/ I’ve being enjoying the updates. I think a lot of people that can relate to your up coming adventures, myself included. My car started in a...
