2 weekends back, I did a bit of work on the clio. Passed its MOT on the thursday, took it straight to the unit to do exhaust and cooling ducts. Got these off eBay, bit expenive I thought but looked better than anything I'd be able to make so bit the bullet. I wouldnt say they were worth the...

Great pic from Brands

Done some christmas shopping for the clio over the past few days Yesterday I collected the dash top & I managed to get some standard PH1 doorcards Today, I collected a PMS exhaust off @Daniel for a bargain price. The Saab managed all journeys whilst being in limp mode throughout, fun times...

I heard Mick was using it as a winter beater until he gets something new 👀

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS.... Aint no clios with that luxury 😂 Gave it a wash What'sit been, 3 weeks of daily use now as I taxed it end of Nov too. Loving it, besids it constantly going into limp mode, problem I've stilll not gotten to the bottom of. Gave the clio a wash today, as it'd...

Leaving it outside to get wet too, why not just rest the bloody bonnet on top, wouldve taken 2 seconds and literally saved the engine. I just cant get my head around the state in which the car is now in. From a chap with such a good repuation across seemingly many RS platforms. If his...

Forgot to catch up on this... turned notifications off as it was literally none stop after I posted them screen shots lool. Hope he managed to sell the trackday or go in another car, thats about £500 down the drain for the trackday alone, never mind travel and hotel expenses. To people saying...

Theres always two side to a story, but I cant see how there could be another side to this making anything thats happened acceptable?

I've got screenshots, hang on and I'll up it all to flikr so I can share on here. It's clioturbo all over again Don't let it be a repeat 👀

Missed the boat here didn't I, damn 😂

So yesterday I did a couple of completely non clio related things. 1st up, I got my 1st tattoo No reason for me to tell you guys that at all, but there you go. Secondly, I bought a new car (I actually did this before the tattoo) I've bought a practical daily estate car, so I can hide the...

I used what was supplied with them, worth trying a better one?

Been a while since I updated Not done much to the car, Anglesey has been and gone though. This happened again whilst on track My front wheels almost fell off too due to PMS studs all working loose from the heat. Anyone managed to fix this issue? I've seen its a common thing for stud...

A/C is for pussys

I agree with he who said buy a C63, or tbh any fast saloon/estate car in red, to go with these two. Problem with finding a plate for the GT4, anything remotely related to Porsche or GT4 will be INSANE money, probably more than the Trophy itself.

Fixed Had to modify the heat shield thing slightly, so thats being painted again currently Also ordered a new ITG air filter as this one is starting to literally fall apart. And a slam panel seal thing as mine has fallen completely apart. Hoping thats the last of it for a bit, it's almost...

Quick one before I go to sleep Bad earth to ECU was the fault, main one which goes from the box into the main loom from ECU) Sorted that today and then instantly discovered another issue 😂 Considering I've spent lots of time and money pampering this, it really does hate me atm for some...

Where are all the earth points? I know there's a main earth from chassis to box on the side/in wheelarch area One I broke when doing the pas pipes, but I reconnected it, that still looked fine as it did cross my mind. That was on top of the box going into the main loom. Any others?

Tonight's update It's all a bit weird 😂 So, swapped inertia switch, no difference Bridged the conections, same. Tested continuety on the new plug I connected for cps, just incase connection was shitty, was fine. All earth's getting continuety Related fuses same Checked for spark, nothing. Now...

I have a spare that unlocks the doors but won't start it. I guess I could try that to see if it does anything different to the one I'm using. I'm sure that only let's you turn over a handful of times before cutting.

I have a spare I can try, I'll give that I a go tonight.

So Monday just gone I was at curborough sprint course, 1/4 way into my 2nd run the car just died on me. Checked all the usual bits, inertia switch fine,nothing looked to have come loose, fuses all fine We noticed the fuel pump isnt priming or even coming on when turning over. We managed to get...

Never needed a receipt to swap something before. All the kits are new now, got a fair few cool bits that they didn't before. Debating buying one just to take on trackdays so I'm not left begging for tools like last weekend 😂

Sooooo Went Curborough Did one lap, smoke coming into the cab and out of the bay, stopped, looked, realised I'd not put brake fuild cap back on properly. Thought mint, all sorted. Got a quarter into the second run and the car completely died on me. And that was my day at Curborough Suspected...

Wrote this up for Retro Rides forum, but I guess its all the same. Been a little slow to update, had an absolute mad one Saturday before the Gathering, feel like I've only just recovered, ready to do it all again for Curborough this weekend. I'm gonna start with the time I finally locked the...

Cheers mate, it;s nice to hear when it gets me down so bloody much ? Been several times over the past few weeks where I've been thinking about breaking it haha

Sooo as always, I've been having a bit of a mare with this lol! Hence me not updating, been too annoyed by it all to find motivation to write something up. By Monday evening everything was fitted and the car was back on all 4 wheels. Decided to clean the wheels inside and out before getting...

Forgot to say, steering is dead heavy also

This weekend I replaced literally everything aside from the coilovers on the front suspension (Hubs & northloopcup bumpsteer correction kit, cup wishbones, polyflex everything, new inner tie rods, new bearings, new driveshafts, PMS solid top mounts & brace) and probably other things I forgot...
