Ditto, just read the thread. An enjoyable read and great to see the learning process throughout. RE Tim Harvey, Gold and Green Esso Ultron 406 was circa 1998-1999. I started my love affair with all things Super Tourer in 98 at Thruxton, driving down in a Mk2 XR2 sleeping in it overnight to be...

Was it your car @Martin.?! I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

He sent me a video of the fuel line leaking in the engine bay and bad wiring, done by a well known 'specialist' that everybody on here swore by.... Ridiculous. He bought a house that I can only describe as a row of 4 terraced houses in one plot, half of which was a barn to store hay and the...

In a funny way, and a nice way, someone should do a parody video :blush:

Genuinely gutted when he said he was selling up and moving there. He really is, I know it's easy to say that and people tend to over rate friends or people when they've had work but he was bloody good. His depth of knowledge about Renault tech was unbelievable, add the Motorsport equation ino it...

Yep, but wasn't done by Matt. He'd moved to France with his family by then which was a shame.

When I did my projects I had a chap called Matt who used to work for Renault as a master tech, he also had a sideline in motorsport prep. Having a degree in all things motorsport tech, worked for Quaiffe spannering on the GT cars.... I knew the Clio would be in safe hands. What he didn't know...

@SharkyUK Appreciate you taking the time to not only answer my question but to everyone else :up:

40 fuckin K What was the end goal bhp out of interest?

Keep it track only, awesome Clio

I make, or made those carbon brackets with 6 buttons utilising the top 2 as a horn.

Awesome, this is definitely my kind of thread.

To be honest I don't think I've come across a buzz or whine I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the car. I hasn't really made a difference capping the ends, in fact as I've put more miles on its stayed the same maybe a touch louder with the ITG induction kit on. You can noticeably hear it...

It is, to be fair the more miles I've out on it sounds like it's getting louder unless it's placebo

NOVEMBER And back to November, a year on. A few plans in the pipeline over winter. Cup Race spoiler has been ordered, not the genuine one but an exact copy. Hopefully in the new year I can reveal the finished exterior look. 2018 will be a year for trackdays.

SEPTEMBER Mallory Park Tricolore Trophy, ADO8s and Turini test fit. OCTOBER 4 day driving break to the Nurburgring.

AUGUST B road blasts, Turinis machined and DIY painted, CSS17

JUNE Just enjoying the drives out for the hell of it. Facelift 220 in the local dealer has me looking around it. JULY 2 wheel type options, French Car Show Passenger laps in this, epic

APRIL Map tweak at RS Tuning, full enhancement detail at DetailR in Milton Keynes. MAY Circuit De Clastres trackday and driving mini break

FEBRUARY Brands Hatch trackday MARCH Photoshoot in London with Mark Abbott

A year today I made the 566 mile round trip to trade in my Mk4 Clio Media Nav diesel for the Liquid Yellow Clio 200 EDC. In the week leading up to the deal I'd been on the phone to the salesman working out the finance numbers, I then took the punt to drive to Vospers in Plymouth to view it, test...

And still looks rubbish, the first thing I did when I bought my EDC was fit Cooksport springs :up:

Ordered the spoiler today, should be with me next month

Was a passenger yesterday, torque steer! Epic car, so raw, basic, quick!

Haha good to see an update, as mentioned love the attitude of just getting on with it, no dramas. It's a great Clio

Wants 6 months free motoring?

It's been an amazing thread to read so far, I can't imagine how happy you are to finally have the chance to give it a shakedown and drive it in anger! Can't wait to see how this goes.

I'm glad you've had a go in a car with paddles Mark, how you describe the drive is pretty much on par with the 200 EDC in Sport Mode. It holds the gears much higher, sharper/responsive gear changes and blips the throttle on down shifts. It's an auto in letting it do all the changes in everyday...

I'll be honest the wheel IMO won't want spacing out that much, the rears are already close to the arch edge more so than the fronts. The rears maybe 5-10mm, fronts 10mm maybe 15mm max. Again, based on my findings just lowering on Cooksports makes a difference by filling the arches and giving...
