If its mainly used on track then i would be looking at a higher grade but if its mainly a road car with the odd trackday then id stick to the manufacturers reccomended 5w40. Elf evolution sxr is cheap from renault on ebay. The millers nanodrive is alot more expensive but its proven to be a top...

Leave them on as there not needed if you dont have abs

Would do but im working mate! When i say working i mean sat waiting for it to stop raining watching videos on my phone haha

Love cleaning the van haha.. been looking at doing the bmw compact cup so selling this would put some money towards that mate:up:

Small update, changed the engine oil + filter for genuine stuff, gearbox oil, coolant, thermostat and header tank as the old one was too rust coloured to see what the level was. Also gave the car a good look over to see if anything else needs replacing, the front pads are quite low so will...

I've got one on mine mate, they are very good, made by evol engineering who also do ph2 mounts.. mine came with 2 spare bushes and 4 spare inner sleeves (2 metal, 2 plastic)

Should be good when Federal bring the 595 RS-RR to the UK, apparently are 1 second per lap faster than the old RSR around Tsukuba Japan. Can't find much info on them yet but they will hopefully have sorted the issues out with the old tyre, soft sidewalls/rapid shoulder wear etc...

Really common with them pal, they should be ok aslong as they dont come away from the back plate.. I was at brno last month with my mate riding a gsxr 1000 and he had cl carbon sintered pads in the bike and one of the friction blocks actually came away from the back plate, he wont be buying them...

I survived a winter on kumho v70 hard compound on my mr2 but it wasn't fun having to take corners slower than a bus, live and learn i guess

Id be buying proper winter tyres for the mx5 mate, there designed to be used in colder weathers compared to a "summer tyre" or even an allrounder such as the rainsports. They will be better throughout the colder months even if it doesn't snow.

If the cl6 and brembo hc's are fine now i wouldnt be looking into spending more money if you dont need to, Ive used max discs before on another car and all they seemed to do was shorten the life of the pads, stick with what you know works... Rc8 would be harder to modulate in wet conditions, i...

Federal 595 RSR mate as imprezaworks says, there similar to the AD08 but loads cheaper.. no point in going for a semi slick type tyre if your still going to be using it on the road. The RSR will be plenty good enough for what you want

Got my go pro videos uploaded finally, I should have saved the battery to get atleast one afternoon session but the morning was great too :smile: They will play in HD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSsr6AFEW4c

I've uploaded one of my morning sessions to youtube, there must be a few of you guys cars on here for anyone who fancys a watch, it will play in 720p but for some reason it auto selects the lowest definition for me when it go to watch it so you will have to up the definition

Gutted the camera ran out before it rained but im glad you liked it! Its quite a lively car in the wet the little b*****d!:openmouth:

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-II-PH2-2001-2004-Pair-NEW-Headlamps-Headlights-Black-Surround-/271037539509?nav=SEARCH Here mate, i think there a bargain when the cost of the meguiers restore kit is something like 20 quid

@Feirny it is mate! thanks for uploading them, great pictures :up:

Depends where you take it mate but probably between 30-60 quid, small garage-dealers. If you have the time its easy to do yourself.. id have thought the threads would have stripped before the engine cover bolts become too tight to undo with hand tools!

Looks like it handles well mate on those michelins :cool: love the seats!:up:

I would sell you it if it had a full one Tom haha, its been cut quite a bit to try combat the scraping but turns out there scraping on the bit the bumper bolts to at the front bottom of the wing.. I bet they were never designed to stay intact at 165 mate! Cheers @imprezaworks Im trying to...

Been a while since I've updated this but had a bit of time recently so got some stuff done. I ordered a pair of new headlights as no matter how much time i spent trying to get the old ones looking good it just wasn't happening, there not genuine but the fit is brilliant and the car looks 100x...

@Feirny your camera/photo skills are awsome mate, really good pictures! :)

Im looking forward to this even though im not very active on here as i work pretty much every minute im awake, hopefully the weather will be ok so everyone doesn't get soaked :)

Javelin dont allow suction mounts bud, you might get away with it after an hour or so though

What about turinis

Dont forget how much better the car felt after you fitted the much lighter oz's though marra :)

Michelin ps3's seem to be a good choice mate, a lad I know uses them on his st150 for hill climbing as he's limited to 1a tyres and it seems to do well.. there pretty hardwearing too.. another is the T1R you the but they need shaving down to 4mm to be any good

http://www.cliosport.net/threads/moving-the-gearstick-back-mod.576582/ Good little guide on this thread about doing it with pics if its of any interest

Thanks Tony, will give it a go, only thing letting the car down to be honest

Is there any adjustment of the linkage after doing this tony? Is it obvious what needs cutting when your looking at the box?
