Jesus, that's more than one a year, lol

Still so impressed with how you've lucked out with this shell old bean

the F7's do use oil, even had a sticker in the window to say top up every 1000 miles, lol!

As above, comp test it and if that's okay just keep topping up. Mines just starting to use half a litre or so between oil/filter services now which I do every 6k. 192k on original engine though so think it's entitled to drink a little now!lol!

All the 'yoofs' are now on the Facebook groups, .net is now the old folks home. I joined 2005 I think at 22, nearly 36 now and still got the clio virus. But it appears despite my many long years of service here I am but a whipper snapper

last time mine did this it was the earth pin on the connector block on the wiring loom for the drivers side rear cluster. It bends out over the years of lights being removed and refitted and makes poor contact with the actual light cluster bulb holder assembly. Quick bend back with a small flat...

I'm not 100% but as the rear push button to open the boot is totally different I presume the metal is a different shape too

Just make sure you get phase 1 boot as they're different aren't they?

All depends on engine strengths but yeah it's about stock torque @Darren S

Welcome, never too old for a clio

totally depends on fitment of the cage, my old bolt in fitted with standard belts no issue, current one I have never looked so not sure if there is clearance or not TBH if you are building a proper competitive car from scratch, i'd be getting a custom cage made to the regs and make sure the...

I run the jamsport wildwood kit under 15" no issues, all the wheels I use are ET36 however but no spacers required.

Nice progress matey

Henk just ignores the user base he's no longer making money off, so the mk2 rs tuner he has no interest in now so just f***s everyone off. He did the same to me with the old mk1 ecu, no money in it so literally just completely ignores any correspondence about it. Frankly the guy appears to be a...

My Pa has a 2.0 sport, used it daily for last 8 years ish, it's a nice thing and I've always had soft spot for any mx-5 tbh. Looking forward to rods all across the track :-)

Cheers all! @davo172 yeah 180/135

Kinda used to it matey, drive it everywhere, no trailer queen here. But I'm starting to feel mid 30's after 3 hours in it.... Lol

Cheers all, yep it's driving better than ever now and looking forward to Cadwell next month to really test her out @Daz... 860kg with half a tank in it and on the track wheels

Took a trip over the pennines today to visit @bloke to get the 197 cams timed in then straight over to see Chris at EFi for the whole setup to be mapped. Cold and foggy trip in a car with no..... well no anything really. But the result was a surprise to say the least. Thanks again to both...

Welcome

No worries @scalino65 that's not Google weights either that's me weighing bare wheels I own, rounded to nearest kg but deviation of 100g max

All road cars are 16" on the cup Williams wheels weigh 7kg, super and ultra legs are 5kg each. Pro race 1.2 are 6kg. Bit of lowering and 15" can look mint, weigh less and cheaper tyres

This not finished yet, come on chop chop ?

not in the same way @White16valver, they may have some form of idel control from road speed sensor but its not on the cable like a mk1 as trhey don't have cable speedo if its doing it before driving that's not the fault anway I would simply say, if the throttle cable hasn't been changed...

Bin the side exit, must be loud as hell that and probably doing the engine no favours in terms of powaaah,lol. I'd look at lowering it a bit next maybe. Great to see a mk1 still in daily use however, fair play

Mega motors, I've dailied my 182 for 6.5 years now and although I've had a saab aero for few months during that and keep looking again at them, I intend to see the clio past 200k before I retire it. About another 10 months to go to hit that mark

Picked up the track wheels from the powdercoaters today, slicks are in the shed ready to be fitted so all coming together for Cadwell park on the 17/3 Can't fault city wheels in Birmingham either, 20 quid a wheel is a bargain. Not immaculate, but by God they're ideal for the price point

I have absolutely no love for mk3 onwards clios really, but there is something about a 200 in alien that just floats my boat, such a lovely combination and keeping it standard ish from an engine pov, cracking. Top work

Lovely as ever Mr S, when is it I can expect to drop the odyssey with you for similar treatment?

I'm not looking forward to the cold tbh, bear in mind I'm driving the car there and back too and its completely stripped, no heater matrix or fans or anything so could be...….interesting
