Day 1
I set out this morning, to fully detail the car over the next two days espiecally since the weather has been as fantastic as it has been.
I am on Stand at Trax on sunday, so perfect time to get it ready.
Before
As you can see, its not in the best of conditions, living in...
I currently have Brembo Max on the Cup at the minute, with Pagid RS4-2 Blue Pads, and they have eaten the inside of the front discs, and i think they have warped as i experienced bad judder at very hot temperature when at the nurburgring, although i never suffer from the problem on the road...
Guys,
Who fancies a meet in Mansfield or surrounding area in the near future? I ain't 100% sure on best location? Foxglove pub maybe?
Who'd be up for it??

Hi Guys,
I am sure of most of you all know my situation.
Would i be able to purchase a 2nd hand lockset for my car? And get the keys reprogrammed into the car? I know some manufacturers it creatings problems further down? Or would i be better to get a new lockset for £185?
Jamie
Guys,
As someone you will be aware i had my Cup stolen this weekend.
I am looking at getting a cup, my no claims have been knocked down to 1 years no claims (how infuriating) and insurance on a williams is coming out at £1300, when i was paying circa £800 on the 172 cup.
Anybody know of any...
After giving the good clean last weekend, and a good wash this weekend, i decided to give the car a good coating on Z8 and Dodo Supernatural tonight.
I took the Cup out tonight for a few pictures, in a local village, that has a nice location IMO.
Products on the car currently;
Chemical Guys...
Recently bought this, I am so so impressed by it, gives a completely new edge to an already immaculate cup - couldn't reccomend it anymore, will get some pictures up soon.
Anyone else used it?
Unfortunately i think time has come that i need to sell my Cup, its not really something i want to do, but have finally got myself a job/salary where i can look at getting my finances correct. I got the car on a loan from my family, and i want to get it paid off. I will 100% be buying another...
Went out again tonight with a camera full of battery and got some pictures.
These IMO, came out better than yesterdays efforts :)
Comments appreicated as always :)

Just had a good clean this morning and a final wax this afternoon and took a few snaps before my camera died.
I really need a DSLR :(
Comments welcome as always :)
Thought i would start my own project thread up.
I have no overall position or know where i want the car to be, but its just gonna progress over time. :)
I bought it pretty much as it stands now, bar a few bits and pieces.

Hey Guys,
Been a nice(ish) weekend this weekend, so washed the car on saturday, and went and took a few pictures. The car had been clayed, machine polished, glazed, sealed and wax the previous weekend, so just needed a good top up!
Products used last week;
#Poorboys Maxi Suds II
#Megs Clay...
Hey Guys,
Taken clio off the road for a couple of days.
NSR wheel bearing has gone and isnt really safe to drive.
Also brakes aren't really all that at the moment either.
Anyway, i have a set of new rear discs (inc bearing) and pads at work, and i have my new Pagid RS Blue pads, HEL brake...
Guys,
Been to a track day today and after about 6/7 laps, my brakes suffer from alot of fade and started locking up with ease (and thats not because its a cup either).
Will be gain anything from putting dot 5.1 fluid in? And i hear about a different style of pipes, what advantages would this...
Went to Cadwell today, was two other Clio's there a birchdown decal'd up 172 (lardy) and a decal'd up 197.
Had a really really good day, weather was rubbish - but made the day so much more enjoyable!
Anyway, here are the pictures.
more to follow...
I have arranged with a member of here to swap my Anthracite Turini's with a set of Anthracite 2118's.
I just ain't 100% sure what to do.
Can i have your opinions.
or
Cheers in advance,
Jamie
Hey Guys,
Been looking around the internet for a Renault branded Service Folder, to put my documents in. However i couldnt find bugger all - would love something similiar to the cliosport welcome pack folder, but i can't do much with that.
Anyway, i found a place where you can create your own...
Has anyone used it? I am planning on getting the front end of my car resprayed in a few weeks time, and i want it to stay looking as good as new.
What sort of cost is it? Are there any people in the north, that offer a similiar service?
I know alot of the FRS lot use it to great effect.
I was...
I ain't sure which to go for. I ideally want PE2's but i can't afford them at the moment.
I had the Toyo's on my last car - and i thought they was good, would just like some other opinions. I hear very good things about GSD3's
Or is actually worth spending that bit extra for the PE2's?
Hey Guys,
Trying to find out some history on my Cup. I know the previous owner, owned it for a long period of its life (in two seperate stints), just wondering if anyone knew anymore because after searching it up, i ain't getting anywhere.
Cheers in Advance

I want some door cards & a rear bench to match my Trophy Recaro's that i have in my 172 Cup.
Are 182's similiar match? How much should i be looking at spending if i want said items.
