Stick with the Clios! ​I've had 9 205's (still got a 1.9 on the drive) and there is no way I would go back to using one as a road rally / track / sprint / hillclimb toy after having the Clio.

Can't you borrow one? I had to borrow a helmet for my first 2 events as my OMP helmet that I bought for rallycross was no longer legal as it didn't have the flame retardant liner so it meant I have now had to bite the bullet and buy another helmet.

When are you going to compete in it then?

I saw it there too, I was hoping you were there taking photos but I guess you were busy getting your logbook.

Well I've used it a few times now and double checked that nothing fouls/touches and there is still a really annoying clicking sound from the mount. ​Further investigation required.

H&S issued footwear ;-)

Same wheel base on the 2 and 4 doors and I don't think there is a great deal of weight difference so they still drive the same. 2 doors looks better though.

4 doors are still just as desirable for the motorsport scene, quite a few of the top Welsh road rally championship escorts are 4 doors. Proper bits of kit too.

Some cracking roads down that way too

Lake Vyrnwy, the road to Aberystwyth for Sweet Lamb, and Hafren. Guess you have been clocking a few miles up whilst you were down there. Best place for seeing the aircraft flying is in the valley inbetween Dolgellau and Machynlleth. Its known as the Mach Loop, ive seen some excellent photos...

JJC = Demon Tweeks!! Same company, different name

172 Cup now on 170k miles and just flew through the emissions test on the MOT.

My claim to fame is that I have jumped Ballaugh Bridge on my bike - well it was really a bunny hop and it was a mountain bike, the opposite way to the bikers too. That part of the course is on the Isle of Man End to End Mountain bike race which I did in 2011. Closest I will ever get to riding a...

Ive got all respect with these guys, one of which lives a few miles away (Paul Owen - Hes on TT Closer to the Edge) and i will get over to watch and experience it one day. There are 2 non bikers I also have respect for doing laps round there and they are Tony Pond and Mark Higgins. In 1990 Tony...

Whilst mine was on the ramp for its mot, I noticed mine is leaking too. Will get one ordered.

As Kelv said!

Doubt a cup master cylinder would be that expensive new, it's probably an item that is used on other renaults and not really cup specific. Never had a mess about car with abs so not had to remove it before, so you might not even have to replace the master cylinder but just fit new lines from it...

To bin the abs, just need a cup master cylinder with 2 lines going to the front wheels then run 2 lines to the rear, 'T' them into 1, fit a tilton bios valve, then 'T' then line back to 2 lines that go to the rear brakes. New brake fluid, adjust bios valve to suit and it's happy days. Cheaper...

Measure twice, drill once!

Had my Hero2 stuck on the dash at the weekend and there is a really annoying clicking sound on the video. Turns out it was the thumb screw vibrating against the case. ​Lesson learnt for next time.

Needs the interior befitting and a few other bits and pieces, I got it mot'd with just the dash and drivers seat in it. It's had loads of new bits and I spent 800 having the bodywork tidied. Probably a couple of days to sort it all and it's time I don't have. I even have to get my mate to sort...

Yeah, it's for sale on the 205 gti drivers forum as an unfinished project for £1500. Had some interest but nobody has come to see it, they asked what it would fail mot on so I put it through one and it needed a couple of bulbs and the handbrake cable snapped on the test so I sorted them and it...

Very tidy example that. I've got a Steel Grey 1.9 gti non sunroof sat on my drive that needs finishing off, can't see me finding the time to do it.

I ran the practices at 28 then remembered to drop the pressures to 20 in the front and 18 in the rear at Three Sisters recently and it certainly increased the grip and i was using 16" Toyo TR1. As with everything in life though we all have different ideas so it really is a case of trial and error.

I would say that is quite a bit too hard for loton, i didnt run tyres that hard on stage rallies. As Loton is so short and sweet I would try them a lot softer to try to get more heat into them quicker. 20 front, 18 rear It will feel a bit wierd and its a bit of trial and error really but thats...

I think that was my car for a while, you got it from Paul Dark didn't you? That was the 2nd XS I've had, and I've had loads of gti's too. (still got a 1900 gti on the drive) Clio is a vast improvement over a 205 though.

Was your 205 a 1.4xs?

Re: Why are Mazda RX8 so cheap?? Brother had one for a few years but the compression started to drop off so he thought it was time to move it on but he did really like it. Hes since got himself an Evo 7 and that does more MPG

This!! They are shockingly uncomfortable seats - used them for one night to do one road rally and then they were gone!! I had Cobra Imola 2's for years and they were great seats. Currently got Carbon Sparco Revs which are comfortable but perhaps a bit too rigid in comparison to fibreglass ones...

I phoned him on the closing day to sort an entry and he was an arsenal so walked away. My brothers car wasn't ready in time so he used his black Evo 7 and enjoyed himself. He got 4th in class. I couldn't get to watch as i had the kids to look after. I did the sprint at 3 sisters on Sunday and...
