Southend seafront looking across to the Isle of Grain I believe, taken last Sunday. IMG_1988 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

A Southend meet that changes to Beckton

Saw this pull up last night in the Waitrose car park about 7.45pm, 05 plate with anthracite 2118s. Looked pretty good

Weather's looking good chaps, think I'll pop down around midday

Agreed, no harm in asking questions. The owner can hopefully answer questions with confidence along with photographic evidence and/or invoices to back it all up. Like anything go with your instincts, if you don't feel positive vibes from the answers or info politely walk away afterwards...

Echoing what @incey-spider has said, I'd be slightly offended if that's what people were thinking. Mines done 2500 trouble free miles so far, it has an extensive project thread to back up all the work done, parts bought including invoices and went the expensive alternative route to mapping...

I think the biggest thing about buying someone elses charged Clio would be 1: Who's selling it? 2: Who mapped it? Would anyone stay clear of my charged Clio if it ever came up for sale??

Good to see you've finally gone for it :D Is that a stock OE ECU I see in the photo?

I should be able to attend

Brilliant pics, I see my friends were there in the Raider, Glacier White, Tungsten Grey R5 GT Turbos and the Coupe Cup race car. The Raider is a thing of beauty, he's also restoring a Renault 11 turbo back to it's former OE glory

My honest opinion, to drive a 100 miles to a park up on a plot of grass within a campsite...... Poor location Activites, average, catered for people who have children fair enough but that's about it. There didn't seem to be as many Clios attending this year like at Duxford. At least Duxford you...

Turned 40 last month and on my 5th Renaultsport Clio with the supercharged Petrol Blue 182. My first was when I was 34

So I ended up buying just 2 new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres and had them fitted to the OZ wheels. Saturday morning I headed back to Foundry tyres in Hockley to have all the wheels swapped over, decent chaps and charged me £10 each to swap the tyres from the 182 wheels to the OZ wheels. They...

It's not a bad mod but can be improved on, the tubes on mine were held in place with zip ties. Although what does let it down is the original rubber splitting which has made the tailpipes move slightly out of centre. I reckon the sealant with the tubes would be a better solution than zip ties...

Ricardos x 1

I'll be at CSS so if you're going you can have a look round and have a chat :)

Cool beans, will try and hook up when you hit the M25

Mark I might meet up with you en route after you've left the M11 meet up point if that's ok

I'm not convinced personally, I needed 2 new tyres so I bought new Michelin Pilots then swapped everything over to the Super Leggeras today. IMO it takes a lot to beat the OE 182 anthracite wheels. . by Ricard o1, on Flickr . by Ricard o1, on Flickr . by Ricard o1, on Flickr . by Ricard o1...

+1 just bought a pair at £95 each to replace the old sport 3s, the old fronts lasted 18k

Thanks for all the kind comments, indeed that steering wheel is a work of art Incey but cosmetic jobs like that will probably be done after the wheel/tyre, coilover, geometry jobs are done. If i go anthracite it means i'll paint them myself, after that i'll have 2 of the Michelins fitted off...

1758.8 miles since conversion 33.1 MPG average Been a bit quiet lately, I've been buying a few parts for the next phase. Now the power is there with 256 horses I'm addressing other areas such as braking and handling. I have decent Brembo HC discs and plenty of meat on the Ferodo DS2500 pads so...

Group B, WRC and other rally car exotica descend on the German town of Daun for 3 days for this annual event. Daun is pit paddocks to at least 150 rally cars from over 4 decades, surrounding towns host special stages with thousands of spectators all having the chance to see these cars being...

Sash been chauffered around the Laindon neighbourhood about 1ish :D

Hai! Lovin the banter... I'll be there again tomorrow

Haha Sash saw you on the way home about 4ish pm in the DS3 waving out the window!

I can't make tonight i'm prepping things for going away to Germany this week.

Was just wondering if anyone has fitted 40 profile 16" tyres to their 182. Is it a deal breaker? Only asking as there's a set fitted to some wheels for sale and wasn't sure whether it would make a massive difference or should stick to the OE 45 profile. Cheers

Give me a head start then :o
