So one of the things I noticed was that my shifter was very stiff to operate and didn’t self centre as per the OEM shifter. This made the drive feel very solid. But the shift always felt a bit vague in location as you was never 100% sure in you location across the gate. It was lovely at low...

It will be a slightly flawed review because the bushes and diff were done at the same time. Certainly though even on the softest setting the tail is a lot more lively to throttle input mid corner. I think it makes a significant difference to how loose or adjustable the rear of the car is...

I have to say in these slippery conditions of late, the diff is very noticeable. Times when you might pull out of a tight greasy junction and the inside wheel would slip, Now it just hooks up. The way it grabs for the apex on tight corners is very noticeable. I hope in the try in addition to the...

Check out Powerbulbs Neil. I always find they have the best prices.

First class service from Nick @ Pure Motorsport today. Ordered yesterday pm, arrived this morning. Also had a headlamp bulb die the other night so decided to upgrade to some new bulbs. Phillips Xtreme Vision Gen2 bulbs for the dipped beam and matching Phillips Xtreme Ultinon LEDs for the...

Looks a tidy job. Keep us posted when they’re available. 🙂👍🏼

Thanks for the detail, look forward to seeing your solution 🙂

All sounds good but I think a cooler in the return line is what will make the kit if possible. What heat sleeve are you using? Goodridge Firesleeve or similar?

I had one made for my Impreza that was in white delrin which looked/felt superb. More classic lightbulb shape in profile. I may explore that idea at some point. Yeah I’d rather delrin than something metallic in these temps 😅

Cheers mate. Truth be told, it’s something I’m still not quite sure of either, however in the metal I think it looks better than the photos suggest, and I hope that it looks more at home once the seats/steering wheel are in. The actual knob I think is slightly too small in your hand and feels...

Thanks chap. To be honest I can’t say how well it feels with the diff yet as I drove home from Alex with my OE gearbox in the back. So it was a very steady drive home. Looking forward to having a play in it and exploring its new balance with the rear bar too. I’ve got quite a few bits left to...

So I collected WZD from AW Motorworks this evening. I really didn’t fancy swapping gearboxes and doing beam bushes in this weather. So Alex was once again entrusted to take care of proceedings. Super knowledgable, reliable and friendly. Alex is always a pleasure to deal with and I can highly...

Personally id go with the Pure cat or as @bloke says. Get a cheap Cat with a pair of flanges fitted and a centre box with the same flanges fitted to the same dimensions. Then its just a case of 4 nuts/bolts come MOT time. If youre wanting something even slicker. Buy a pair of V-bands and have...

@massivewangers Nail on the head mate, no other words needed.

The need for new platforms is basically packaging. Its a lot harder and overall less efficient for the vehicle design to try and cram it in an existing platform. The "Roller skate" type layout keeps all the batteries and powertrain low in the vehicle and provides the best driving dynmics. You...

Lets be honest here, this type of car isn't aimed at the likes of us, the normal car enthusiast. They're aimed at the normal car driving family, and as much as we don't like it, electric cars are coming and the market deems that SUVs and crossovers are what the bulk of the car buying public are...

Looks good but would need to see the "before" images :)

Dropping my Clio at AWM this evening so no go from me too.

I hope so. Its drives fine as it is, but will be nice to tighten it up and start fitting some of this pile of parts i have to go on. :)

Dropping WZD back to Alex @ AWM this evening for some more love in the form of the following: Rebuilt gearbox with Quaife ATB diff PMS shifter Whiteline rear beam bushes PMS 19mm rear ARB. Hopefully the above should sharpen the cars focus up nicely :)

I have Recaro Pole Position ABEs to go in mine which are specifically designed to sit a 3 point inertia reel belt. I'll be making a fixing bracket to fit the pretensioners to so they slide with the seat runners.

@Dr Jekyll, Pass the mop, he's cleaning up! :D

3 laps on a full Trackday is a bloody expensive way to track the Ring. Sounds like they’re as bad a TF days now. The fitment on that splitter was dreadful Rob. Does anyone else make one that fits properly? The car looks absolutely mega, glad you’re enjoying it. :)

As expected the headlamps are an absolute game changer. Great job. 👌🏼

Massive thanks to Alyn @ AS Performance for the box of goodies that arrived for the Clio today. I’ve been purchasing my performance parts from Alyn for almost 15 years now and his knowledge and customer service is unlike any other I’ve experienced. Over the years I’ve never found anyone to get...

Superb result, well done gents :)

Just ordered the PMS one for mine, so looking forward to trying that out. £185 :)

Looks mega already. The icing on the cake will be those headlights. :)

A2/A4 is the grade of stainless steel, short for 302/304 with 304 being classed as marine grade. To be honest, all the lad on those mounts is not really on the hardware as all they really do is stop the dampers falling out when the wheels are unloaded. The stainless ones would have been fine id...
