    The correct 15" alloy offsets

    Standard offset on a 172 Cup is ET38.5, so something within a few mm of that will be more than satisfactory. I don't think 2118s come in many offfset variants, but the TDs have more choice. Buy the wheels you want, then you can add spacers afterwards if you want.

    R.S Sabelt steering wheel refurb

    How does it 'feel'? I love the feel of the original material, its so tactile, but after 5+ years and not enough TLC it's hard and shiny at quarter-to-three, and irrecoverable. If I went down the same route am I any better off? I'd still have a hard and shiny finish where I'd have my hands 99%...

    hard to get into gear downshisfting

    I was just browsing this post from a couple of years ago and was about to like it when I saw I'd done so when you originally posted it, so I must really like it lol. Who goes from 2nd to 1st while the car is still moving, but more to the point, why?!

    New car for the summer...... oh s*** wrong season.

    It looks like an absolute peach, Dave, great work! Since I've had the MX-5 I have to say the experience of driving topless is incredible, any time of day/night/year - really hard to describe but as has been mentioned, and as you'll remember from your Escort days, cut grass, the moon, the...

    Tim's Trophy - #455

    The Trophy Welsh Weekender was another great weekend with 18 of us in convoy at one point. I know Andy started a picture thread, check it out if you haven't seen it yet. I found a few minutes spare today so I trial fitted the Ultras, which are still on the old tyres. I'll give it a few weeks...

    Threads to feature on the Facebook page

    The benefits of the forum over Renaultsport/Clio Facebook groups is the ease of searching for solutions for various problems, interesting debates on topical issues, and great project threads. If the Facebook group wants to compete with other similar Facebook groups I just don't see the point...

    My Old Petrol Blue Supercharged Clio

    I think it's advertised on the Facebook Clio Sport Owners group.

    172 and 182 refers to the power output (in PS) from the 2.0 naturally aspirated F4R engine.

    Vodafone Fibre

    No offence mate but that's an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. Their entire UK network cannot be poor for voice, data, 4G and messaging, in every hamlet, town, city and urban area in the land. If you don't get coverage anywhere I'd suggest it might be a problem with your device(s) rather...

    I am, not had a problem at all. Aren't they also offering a free Sonos Play:1, or has that promotion ended?

    ClioSport Festival 17 feedback thread

    Thanks Nik. Of course you always need to consider new venues but I think if it's works well and does everything you want/need it to then why change just for the sake of it? Of course a change might be needed if the venue becomes a bit stale, but until then if it ain't broke...

    ClioSport Festival 17 feedback thread

    Location must be one of the hardest things to decide on - you'll never please everyone, but is Blyton likely to be used for next year or are the team considering alternatives?

    2118s fitted - can't make my mind up

    When I had my white 2118s on the Trophy it never looked 100% right. I desperately wanted to put coilovers on it but couldn't bring myself to do it. Are coilovers an option? If not, I'd have to agree with Mossy's sentiment.

    2118 back to standard alloys?

    If you like the look of standard wheels then buy a set but keep your 15s for when you want to appreciate the dynamic benefits they offer. Swap when you feel like it, best of both worlds.

    2118 back to standard alloys?

    I think your post doesn't give any indication as to why you're thinking of going back to standard.

    Tim's Trophy - #455

    Just because it doesn't need anything, it doesn't mean it stops me buying 'treats' for the Trophy, the latest of which was some 16in AD08Rs courtesy of Ben P on Facebook. And on Monday I'm hoping to collect some wheels to put them on. I found them on eBay, got in touch with the owner on...

    Rolling diameter of 15" rims
