    Clio RS 200 cup advice needed

    I run brembo oe front discs and mintex m1144 front pads, perfect combination imo for a fast road car, not overly expensive, easily available, work well from cold but a big step up in performance over the factory setup

    What service do I need?

    agreed, i had to do a shaft on my 22yr old 1.2 16v last weekend so i drained the box oil and replaced it (probably original) and it feels like its got a brand new gearbox!

    What service do I need?

    as above plus brake fluid and box oil.

    Air-con randomly coming on?

    my 197 has a noisy AC compressor and this is the first time I've experienced this (due to actually being able to hear it!) its a climate controlled car so when the AC is on, it displays AC on the screen, it seems to have a bug that when you press the demist button which puts fans to max and AC...

    172 Cup. Investment? Where are prices going?

    Agree with that, if you want a car to enjoy and not loose money on it's not a bad move, I wouldn't call it an investment though.

    172 Cup. Investment? Where are prices going?

    I had a really tidy/genuine one, although a bit higher miles and sold it about 6yrs ago, think I eventually got £1500 for it after a month or more of advertising

    Underside of Spoiler pictures please

    Yeah they use shorter gas struts which were apparently a fortune but I'm sure people use a BMW 1 series strut which was cheap and fits, there will be a part no somewhere. Yeah connection is the same on all the spoilers for the brake lights
