It's hard enough getting these shitty Renault ones off without adding more

Now this brings me upto the present day Bit of history car was a cat c pre 2015 and was repaired by the same bloke I bought it off who is my best mates friend runs G.A.D bodyshop, owned the car all that time, and has done the mods aswell, I even had a few laps in this car in 2015 at Bedford...

full build pics again need no explaining all done by myself That brings me upto august 2018 where I had a change of heart and sold up

Well im back after nearly a year, lots of cars full builds and a new clio for our spa trip in april. Lets backtrack to start April 2018 spa francorchamps 2nd year in a row and the clio never disappointed Pics from the trip need no explaining After spa I decided to sell the clio to rebuild...

Evening all Wondered if anyone could be of help? Just picked up my new car and need to know where I can get the Renault sport decals pictured, mine have shrunk and started to peel over the years from being baked in the sun. Any help appreciated

me neither mate, though it might of been a omp one but the ends never matched up 2 any pictures. Its a mystery :)

Quality Whats it like round a track?

Dont quote me on this but i dont think they have the cars on the shelf as readily as they say. I think they wait til one comes in and then send the parts out, in the mean time just fobbing off the customer with false promise's. I had the identical treatment mate, with my car off the road for 5...

Quality build mate, cant wait to see it with the throttle bodies.

Personally i wouldnt bother, unless its a 200t, megane 226 or megane 250 engine. A few choice mods on the 182 and you could have same power if not more from your 182

Do love a well thought out car youve set a very high standard and shows that track cars can look like show cars and still be driven hard.

Well i have had enough of the poorly resprayed satin black wheels, managed to get these finished off today. Old kia something grey :) Also added the fabia splitter too which makes a big difference for something so small.

Enough of the car p**n we got mine on the ramp first as we discovered the mk2 needed a new top mount, which northampton motorsport ordered there and then and fitted (top blokes) The camber shims i had discovered installed on the car the other night were negative 3 degrees camber slightly more...

Update 6 T-minus 1 week to spa :) After all the work thats been done to the clio it was time for an alignment and some camber. I phoned up northampton motorsport on tuesday and got myself and my mates mk2 golf 20vt booked in for setup this saturday. First things first this morning i came out...

Surprised the disc even went round without a spacer, worrying to think that people think doing this stuff is acceptable

Cheers george there is a disc spacer on either side mate, think i was baffled by the cut to he axle i didnt log it

ch 18's mate think they were 18x8 and 18x9

cheers Will try that if the jelsol doent turn up this week

I wouldnt hold out much hope mate, renparts sent me 2 broken driveshafts ( one someone has smashed the splines on the spkndle where the hubnut goes with a hammer and a leaking boot the other had 2 split cv boots ) and the third one they sent me was way too big and not the same model. 5 weeks in...

i know mate, im glad i found it doing the brake overhaul as it wouldnt of lasted this years trackdays i believe the car was looked after with a few choice mods and then passed to a plonka who abused it at some point. i havent mentioned it in the thread but i did gearbox oil and engine oil and...

No not the wolfsburg kit that is alot smaller more custom made job from a plastics company, that i cant remeber the name from. I went to italy with the wife so i did my old mk5 in old skool graphics too.

UPDATE 5 (i think) Finally the car is almost back to how a clio cup should be. The tyres are finally on. ad08r's (worst picture of a tyre ever :) ) While my mate did the lines, i split the stub axle down so that when the new one arrives later in the week it would be free and easy to take...

Update time HIT OR MISS While the weather was shite and im having withdrawals from my mk1 :,( i equipped myself with a £11 heat gun and some milk for much needed tea. I decided to use the leftover martini graphics and jazz the RB up, its hit or miss if im honest going to keep it like this...

I checked and checked again there not being crushed and there not rubbing either but im not too keen on the design. Im getting my lines re done tomorrow as there corroded :( going to see if my mate will put 2 kinks either side of the u clamps so the pipes are in front and no chance of rubbing...

Cheers mk1 has been my prode and joy for 10 years, there will be a few updates on that in july. All will be revealed soon on the graphics front

Im sure i read in someones thread the other day they moved the damper alot further up and it helped reduce vibration more than the recommended position. Cracking little car,i think your build has swayed me to definatly spray the floor, as i too like a more complete looking car.

Cheers. ive ordered standard top mounts for time being, bit of a cost saver to see how the car does over the next couple of trackdays. In due course i will most probably go the full coilover route change all the top mounts and get a brace. Do you know if i can fit a brace on the rear as i...
