3's are defo better than 2's but still softer then the likes of the PS4.

There was definitely more time to be gained from that set up as well, this was the first and last time I got to try it at Oulton as it dropped a valve seat on the next track day in Feb and had to be scrapped, still makes me sad to watch, lol.

As above I feel 8/9kg is to soft for track/sprints but it's subjective, I like a lively rear to get the nose in easily but some will find this a little too on the edge and prefer the safety of a softer more predictable set up. I would go even firmer at the rear and thicker arb if mine was track...

9kg front/11kg rear and rarb ?

If the Clio is just a bit of fun not a daily then yeah the Yokos will do a job as you won't be out in daft conditions. They're good on track in damp/cold conditions as well which I was surprised by. £240 fitted (195/50/15) from Kwik fit last time I had a set.

Wouldn't advise AD08r's on a M3 or Clio in winter. They're not to bad once warm, but it's getting them warm. The new F1 is decent if not a bit soft, but really good in the wet.

BC racing an option?

Bilsteins, ST X is a bottom/mid range coilover. Especially the B14's if just a road car with the odd track day!

These SHOULD be similar to DS3000/DS1.11 & CL6 etc.

Bloody hell they are old with that design on the box. Used the 1155's and rated them. Similar to the DS2500. These are a enduro spec if I remember correctly.

Good tyres Nokian, think they started out as a more winter orientated tyre. Hakka is pricey though compared to the Falken and they don't seem to do the line in 18s. They do the line in 16s though @MrBlonde check out the reviews @R3k1355 posted above for £65 they also look a right bargain...

Not in 1*2 sizes yet as they are relatively new but currently running the high performing Falken FK510 on my remapped Mondeo ST TDCI and they are great even putting 420nm through the front wheels, a much better all-rounder than the likes of the RS3 and not far behind in the wet either. I'll be...

Falken do some really good tyres at very competitive prices. I've used these below on road and track and highly rate them. As mentioned though tyres can be so subjective. As below these only get 7th in the test with Continental sport 5s coming in top, yet I'm running the CS5's at the minute and...

They're all hard compound being S9. Good luck with a used hard compound slick on the rear of a Clio. It'll be like driving on a plastic tyre until you can generate some heat into them which will be a challenge in this country without tyre warmers. The Hankook on his site are medium being C** and...

I've got a Pioneer avh-x8700bt in mine that came with the car, not a feckin clue how it works and what I can do and if its any good. I just play the radio through it from my phone as I cant get the radio to work on it as i'm a tech dummy...

Having a good read on the M135/140 it seems these are over sprung at the rear and set up more for the smoother German roads not our crappy UK surfaces. Lots of complaints online about this as above about hopping around at the rear, a set of springs (Eibach, Birds etc) seems to help but not fully...

Well that didn't last long. Wanna swap for the VRS, lol.

Also remember when buying new they need a decent heat cycle which I found impossible on the road being illegal and I wasn't booking a track day just to heat cycle them. Luckily we have an industrial oven in work so I managed to get them up to temp nicely.

@pule333 bought my wheels with new RS1's fitted and he was very impressed.

Noooooo the OP.

Have you used slicks before?

It can be a lottery buying used slicks as they don't have a DOT code (manufacturing date), but as James mentioned if you can get used slicks from this years race series you'll be only a winner. The guy I mentioned gets his from these series I think. In fact he's still got the RS1's which are a...

Loads of suppliers but they a feckin expensive. I got 4 new Toyo RS1's from eBay for £300 delivered from a guy with user name paultwin82. He normally has a good selection of 15" slicks and is very reputable. For a Clio you want a medium compound, or medium on the front, soft on the rear. Hard...

AST 4100 all day. There's a set in the FS section that have just been rebuilt and come with AST top mounts if I remember correctly, he only wants £850! I used these on road and track and can confirm they are brilliant! Got vids of them in action if you're interested.

PBS boy! You've only just fitted a new set, or did your John burn them up with his 2 hour stints on track ?

£400 ? they'll probably sell before mine as well.

Haha brilliant, my advert for 'rare, jdm wheels' below Still no fecker wants them...need to rethink the advert, maybe 'super rare' ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332798822974

If like the 182 you can actually swap the pre and post cat lambda sensors to see if the problem persists as the post sensor is only to take exhaust gas readings and doesn't affect the performance of the engine.

So they are crying out for a diff even for spirited road driving? Mate has just JB4'd his M135i with mid-box chop and it goes and sounds great. Looking forward to the details of ownership as the M135i will defo be my next motor, albeit an auto.

There you go then, get the pre cat lambda changed.
