I have a project thread, not that I have done a lot: https://cliosport.net/threads/my-rb-197.832299/

Just read some of the comments and you'll get a good sense of what the guy is all about. What an absolute pellet.

Basically the same thing lol

What a prick. If he'd just got out of the car when asked, they probably wouldn't have been so hard on him. His attitude stinks. If he wants to give people advice, maybe advise them not to speak to Police Officers like they're c***s. It will never go well. I'm not sure taking pictures of a car...

Hang on, didn't you just sell one of these that had had loads done to it?

This is a beauty. Good, near-standard Cups are only going to get more and more desirable.

Yeah that's it. I had a few warranty issues with mine when I first got it, which put me off, but once that was sorted and I'd done a couple of minor mods, I loved it. Really want another.

Love them.

Man I miss my Meg.

Abi's car is for sale: https://rallycarsforsale.net/ads/renault-clio-s1600-f2000-maxi-kit-car-ex-remy-risaletto-the-best-clio-in-the-world/

Everything should have at least 200bhp.

That's a lot of money! Could you use a charge cooler like on the older Legacy? Might make it easier. Is there much space up front for cooling bits? Saying that, I imagine one of these with over 200bhp would probably be a bit scary.

The trucks are much cooler in my view. Selling the van? What's it like with the Subaru engine?

Ooooh, a euro spec Rallye :cool:

Nice! Will follow this with interest!

Should be a cracking upgrade this. A really good step up in performance. Lower arms are interesting. I like the rod end bearings on the inner joints, but using them on the outers would worry me a bit. Have seen them shear on heavy landings when used like that, as it puts a lot of shear stress on...

I'm knackered then 😂

From what Nathan told me, it's going to be rather good :cool: Oh yes. The driver makes such a huge difference, especially at the level most of us compete at, as there is so much variety in experience and ability. I've seen Simon Mauger put a pretty basic 1400 Micra into the top five on a...

Oh, the one you mentioned a while back?

Steve Quigley's car was pretty quick. Don't know if he still has it. Abi Mahmood has a Clio F2000, so looks like a S1600, but has a 2.0-litre engine. Don't know much about it. Who is it on here that has @NorthloopCup's old engine? Didn't that end up in a car with a clicky box? There can't be...

It's hard to choose a colour really. White is a ball ache, as it shows every mark.

I'd also be thinking about a 197. A bit heavier, but getting to be good value.

Man I miss my Meg.

Thanks man. It would look awesome with the Speedlines and a slight drop, but will have to see how it goes.

It's not too bad. It's had a little paint, but the body is ok overall. Seats are fucked though lol

I did have an Si Briefly. I was so into Escorts for years, with the MK5 Register, RS2000 club etc. Was looking at MK5/6 Escorts recently. Good ones don't look very common now, and prices are creeping up. Would still love one with a turbo Zetec in it. I'd love to drive one. I bet most of the...

And that brings us up to date. Last week I decided to tackle the rusty radiator support, so the car was jacked up, the front bumper removed and the support taken off: Removed: It was definitely rusty 😄 I decided that, rather than repairing it(!), I would go Cup racer style and just...

Another purchase; six Speedline R3 wheels with AD08R tyres. Decided to test fit them as the lock means not much need to drive. The guy I bought them from supplied some wheel nuts with them, but I don't have studs, and the standard wheel bolts seem to fit fine. They're 17x7J, ET41. They sit well...

I fitted a Powerflex insert to the low torque mount. I should really replace the whole thing at some point, because it's a bit grim. Will do the upper at some point too. I also had new track rods and ends fitted, then did the anti-rotation and drop links. No pictures of any of this, but it's...

The first few months were just spent driving it. It did act as a van, shifting a load of stuff when I sold my Escort rally car: The brakes were rather rusty and grim, so I gave them a clean up and paint. Going to redo the fronts though, as they didn't come up very well. Need to get some new...
