I like the creation part of the project, once I've made the plan in my head work I come up with something totally different to keep me entertained. Its starting to get a bit boring now though I think I've done everything I ever wanted to lol

Yeah mate that was the plan, having doubts whether I want to blow £5000 on a turbo build that could go bang, I like to use the car properly and have a fear the reliability will go right down the pan. Still contemplating Fred's cams he's selling as the dephaser needs doing and want to remove the...

Yeah shell that will be spot on, pm me your address and I'll pop through tonight if thats ok?

So plans are forever changing with this little cup, took it for a long drive last night accross to Tan Hill and back to richmond, which highlighted a few problems. First of all was a headache, not something I was fussed about before but as it looks like the car is probably going to be a daily...

I went last night and had a good time

whiteline arb was the best thing I ever bought for mine. Pure motorsport top mounts and strut brace never really saw the benefit off it so removed it

He is doing cd's I heard, £5.00 ago, soon to appear in your itunes store as well

I did see this as its local, I'm kind of tempted but the mileage is a bit high for resale etc

You silly b*****d, opened the video thinking why the f**k has he done that, then nearly pissed meself laughing lol epic

The engines are very sensitive to how they're timed up, most garages you use will probably not have the propper renault tools so try get a car that has been done by a specialist, good specialists are on here for example; Fred@BTM, Birchdown, Mick@Diamond motors or K-tec Racing. if the timing...

I know mate tbh thats the gut feeling that I need another trophy

haha yeah mate I get bored of it so quickly however I'm hoping I wont have to use it much longer as the plan is to retire it to a fun car and get a decent daily instead

Deposit put down on a set of trophy recaros, really looking forward to getting them

Will no doubt see you chaps at the show, think I'm working the saturday so will not be getting to the hotel until late, maybe time for a pint or three though

There was a place up around high force area which was really good for some pics, it's a bit of a journey though but a good place for pics, I think every location round here has been completely exhausted

You can come in mine if you want mate, will have my trophy seats in by then

Engine, belts, dephaser and other top quality fluids and service parts rang in at around £1700 on my trophy

Was just about to come home and post about this, have been up today and had a good time as always

Small update: Car is now back on the road and in daily use, a little bit of trial and error with some parts, trying my best to make it as user friendly as possible for a lightweight clio. I'm thinking possibly going back to two recliner seats, probably recaros Also it's booked in to AAS -...

Just a quick one to ask is there any difference between the two lambdas or could I use for instance a lambda that was originally a post-cat lambda and use it as a pre-cat lambda? Cheers

Looked more purposeful on the gti-6 wheels than now, however I think the 1.9 wheels certainly give it a twist of old skool to go with the boxy shape of the front end on the p1 306's. I quite like it :)

Hurry up and get the next installment done, I love reading about cars like these that owners like yourself have had for quite some years

Re: Austin's AAS'd GAZ'd BG 182 Gaz arent too bad if you have a play around with the settings, however they will end up needing a rebuild, the same with all coilovers though tbh

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** Quick one, Brother is thinking of selling his 53 plate 172 cup in blue Very very clean car, done 59k miles with the belts done Completely standard example

Tbh the article actually states if you want a good all round fuel that is reasonably priced by Tesco 99, if you can afford it buy the bp 102. It was an interesting read, however like the OP, I've stayed well clear after hearing some horror stories from supermarket fuels. One thing I will...

Thats a similar spec to what I want to run...hmmm

Really like this car, craigs supercharged one had 100,000 miles worth of swirls lol Was a nightmare but check the recent pics of his and it still looks amazing 8 months down the line

I'd say the newest car I really enjoyed driving/ owning was my 04' mini cooper s, the feedback from that steering wheel is sublime, couple that with trophy handling and you've probably made yourself an awesome driving experience

As my mind is full of red mist I'm struggling to see what I love, if you did a list for hate then I'd be on all day :) I'd say probably giant killing potential, handling is great and makes you feel connected with the car, unlike some more modern day equivalents

Alright chaps, looking to get some 1.2 wheels for a car I'm breaking just so I can wheel it around. Will the 1.2 alloy wheels fit over the brakes, or even the steel wheels for that matter.
