It must have taken serious brass ones to part with hard earned cash for a kev'd up clio :P
Full kudos on finding the goodness hidden under a considerable collection of halfords bolt'ons.
I personally couldnt live with those wheels otherwise its looking good :D
I like the way he promotes
"I seem to be throwing good money after bad at the moment and I can't afford too anymore."
What a dumb ass!!!

siiiiiiiggghh i officially hate braking systems :P eezibleed did its job as far as i can tell but i still managed to screw it up.
Hay ho its all a learning curve, ive learnt im not a mechanic :D
Time for a visit to the garage me thinks :)
Might be worth chatting to these guys http://www.rarerims.co.uk/ i buy my tires from here and if you say your a cliosport.net member you seem to get free shipping :)
Hankook Rs2's close to the levels of grip you'll see from the r888's (thay'll have us believe) and much longer life expectancy im going for these next :)
What size would you be looking at
found these vids of some crazy japanese guy and his 5 maxi turbo, looks an amzing piece of kit!!
Last clip is pretty wicked montage!!

hmm might get another 500ml's incase i miss judge the process, yea have read about the benefits of super blue :P bit late for that though lol.
Ta anyways its all good info, any thoughts on wether there will be much left over out of a litre of brake fluid?
Camber bolts.

Rear shims.

Fitting rear shims is probably a bit of a ball ache i'd imagine.. i'll let you know :P
Is it obvious when the new fluid starts to come through other than trying to judge roughly 350ml from the furthest caliper etc? both fluids appear to be a pretty similar colour :S
Hey ive got my hands on an eezibleed kit, i need to fit some braided lines and and replace the current fluid with some castrol super 4 stuff.
Ive read various threads on both fitting braided lines and bleeding brakes separately and im hoping combining these to efforts wont be too tricky...
hmm thoughts on what it will fetch? i cant see it getting over 5500 im not blown away by pertol blue to be honest but each to their own and it is rare atleast.
ive avoided buying the compbrake top mounts but the allternatives dont seem very cost effective, i would love mark fish top mounts but seem tto remember they come at an premium :S it might be in my head but i swear my front suspension geometry moves/changes almost constantly as i drive!! doing...
on the twingo no doubt in my mind that it looks better than before, as for the clio i think it may suit different colours but is by no means a sure thing in my books.
On conclusion i think you should do it :P dont follow the crowd or listen to negativity if you think it looks good go for it :D
