WEDNESDAY 24TH JULY - CLIOSPORT @ DYNODAZE 1. Dave 2. Will B 3. Thomasbrentnall (not sure which car yet) 4. Ryan Hughes 5. Tommo.

Just wondering how much my Trophy is worth.... (not planning to sell, just curious) Usual Trophy specification, incl Sachs suspension, Recaro seats, etc. The bodywork is in good condition, just some stone chips as to be expected. Original Speedline Turini wheels, recent refurb in original...

I'm easy mate. I'll be ok to come anytime.

I'm pleased you're getting on ok with the car mate- I would be VERY surprised if it doesn't pass the MOT first time.. Are you planning to come along to any meets? I'll be at the Rolling Road day @ Dynodaze later in the month, it would be good to see the car again :)

I'm up for this, wouldn't mind seeing what my car makes.. Are non Clios welcome? I could probably get a few others to come along if so.

Funny you should say that. I actually sold the Titanium last week! The new owner is on here, so hopefully he'll stick around... It has now been replaced with Trophy #244 :)

New steering wheel / retrim? Recaros?

They seem prone to failure on these cars, so I'd say even if they aren't leaking, you'd feel some improvement from replacing them. And like you say, you will save on labour costs doing them together with the springs.

Not 100% sure what you mean, but have you tried some wire wool mate...

As above. If you've got the funds to do it, get them replaced.

Nice choice. I have a real soft spot for these, would love a red one.

Stop when you no longer enjoy it..... I genuinely enjoy spending money on my car, which probably makes me quite sad?! As Chip said, it's a hobby. Some people are happy to blow £100+ every weekend getting p***ed, whereas I get a buzz out of modifying / looking after my cars.

Great work. It's nice to see a bodyshop that takes pride in doing a job properly. My experience of bodyshops has not been good, most don't seem to care.

Just to let you guys know, I'm not sure I'll be able to get to LFE for 8:30, but I'll be at CSS later on if not...

I'd expect to pay £600-£700 from a specialist on here.

I did my headlights with the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit at the weekend - http://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-Headlight-Restoration-Discoloured-Headlights/dp/B0078IHJ1K I'm pleased with the results I got, the headlights look brilliant compared to before. However, if you look closely, you can notice...

Nice progress mate. Where can I get a knob like that? ;)

That's what I've got at the minute. I've just been doing some reading and everyone is saying Z2 on silver so it looks like I might as well stick with it.

Just ordering some bits. Fancy trying a new LSP for my Titanium 182. Any suggestions? Not too fussed about durability, just want something that's going to make it look good! Must be < £30...

Spent the last couple of days getting insurance quotes and ended up taking out a policy with Direct Line. I'm 21 with 4 years NCB and have no points/claims. They quoted me £514 for the year, which was for fully comp, 10k miles per year, protected NCB, legal cover and all mods declared...

Ahh ok no worries. Thanks for clarifying. ​

Hi Brian, Sorry if it has been asked/answered before, but when will tickets be dispatched?

It is fine in my experience, having used it on my own Clio a number of times and countless other cars. As you say, most likely a precautionary statement to cover their backs.

I would go for Z6 (or Z8), both are brilliant IMO. Just a wipe down after a quick wash gives such great results.

For the sake of £250 I'd probably pick up a set of brand new B14's mate. I think Kam Racing are probably the cheapest at the moment, just a touch over £650.

Funny you should say that mate, I've just bought one off eBay ;) Could you see any sanding marks left even in direct sun light? That is my only fear!

Here's mine - DSC_2593 by tommo1991, on Flickr That's how it should look as standard..

Really nice. Would love one of these. Any plans for it?

I've only had my 182 for about six months and so far it has been very reliable. The only money I've spent on the car has been through choice really.

I'd renew the suspension components personally. They handle great in standard form, but with age/use some of the parts wear and don't perform as well as they should. As for brakes- Brembo HC discs, DS2500 pads, braided lines and ATE Super Blue DOT 4 fluid would be my choice.
