yeah think its going for a megane 265 at the end of the month actually. after having a poke about one yesterday. going to book a test drive in the 265 demo that ness have.
heres the alignment report guys...
They said the subframe sits in locating dowels, so once its in, you cant get movement from it, so once Progrip got it sitting in properly, thats as much as you can do, so it still has that 4mm difference between the front wheels.
Everything is sitting within...
our driving school learner cars do 140k on standard 1.2 16v clutches and they get abuse! so i wouldnt worry about it unless the car has had a mega mega hard life!
im sure someone found a 1.2 16v that had never had any work done on it that had 52mm spacing! but ive personally never saw one, all the mk2 ph2/3 1.2 16v's ive ever worked on were 58mm
ive owned 5 mk2 clios and had to do rear dampers on all 5 at some point!
3 of them have had rear discs and all 3 needed both handbrake cables too at some point!

found the 200 doesnt run anywhere near as nice on standard 95ron as what it does on 98/99 ron. Found Tesco...
need to loose that sun strip, looks 10x better with the side stickers gone and like the smooth rear bumper! 16" dynamique S aloys in silver with spacers will look clean as f**k on that!

cheers
Area manager from arnold clark has just been on the phone and asked if i would be willing to bring the car to their RenaultSport specialist dealership which 2 weeks ago was fitted with the latest suspension geometry equipement, he will meet me there, he used to be a renault technical expert and...
had a call today from the devisional executive for arnie clark! i was busy at work so hes calling me tomorrow at 10am to see what he can do for me to put it right or give answers for what went wrong! see where it goes tomorrow!
mine was a quick wee car when running 130 odd bhp and 190lbft, i had the torque limited at that due to the clutches, but you now get uprated clutches for them so over 200lbft is possible
