I’m aiming for it to look something like this... (It clearly won’t look as nice as this but something similar will do!)

A dreadful choice of car for your needs, no question. But heroic nonetheless. I absolutely love Them I think they’re Beautiful.

Dropped off at the bodyshop this morning, complete repaint in Ford Frozen White and I should have it back in 3 weeks. (He only works part time) Then when it’s back, I will be sending it somewhere to get finished and pay whatever it costs. Fed up of looking at it and I just want to drive it...

So you lost it...?!

Didnt you win a free Remap as well...?!

Welcome to the club. And a great purchase! Very hard to find a nice one nowadays. Most people with nice ones aren’t selling them!

They’re not strong enough, whenever I put semi-slicks in there they bend under the pressure on the tyre machine. And the don’t allow enough heat out of the brakes. They’ve currently got Rainsport 5’s on them and they’ll be staying in for daily driving. But some decent wheels and semi slicks will...

I did sell it. And regretted it the second it drove off the drive. So I bought it back... 😂

You’re talking about NS2R’s. good tyres! NS2’s are a proper budget road tyre, nothing like the R’s (that i highly

You certainly can’t do it on NS2’s! Absolutely shocking tyre.

There were 5 or 6 of them there, and at least 3 of them were a f**king pain in the ass and wouldn't move out of the way. Same with a Silver Boxster and a bloke in a Big Jag XJ Race car. Seemingly a fat bloke in a van irritated them... lol

Had an Absolute Riot at Oulton Park on Tuesday. What a Circuit!!! Van caused a bit of a stir again as per usual, must have had 10 people come over and talk to me about it. Given my lack of social ability that isn't pleasant but I tried my best... Coilovers and some Better wheels are on the...

No idea! Lol

Yes. Using a different coolant is fine I’m sure, but I’d only do it if I’d flushed out every last bit of the OE stuff first. Or, save the hassle and just stick to Type D as it makes life much simpler.

My mate has been running it in his track car for about 3/4 years and it seems brilliant. Can open the lid of the expansion bottle after 30 minutes on track and it’s nowhere near as hot as normal coolant.

My perfect road spec clio; Petrol blue clio 182 FF. Bilstien B14’s, 15 inch TD1.2’s in silver with PS4’s. recaro SPG bucket seats but with standard seatbelts. Sabelt steering wheel. Janspeed exhaust and sports cat (best I’ve ever heard!) and some decent discs pads and fluid with braided...

Vapor Blasting imo. There is a guy on here that does to an extremely good standard.

Ali, Do you enjoy the mechanical side of it more now you’re not on the tools 9-5?

If you don’t and you fill your 172/182 with generic red coolant, it reacts badly with the OE Type D.... 🤦‍♂️

bucket of hot water, as hot as your hands can take. Half a bottle of Miltons baby sterilising fluid. Couple of clean microfibers and wipe, rinse cloth, wipe, rinse cloth, etc etc. They'll be like brand new and smell lush.

Search “leather repair company” on google. They sell/promote some awesome kits. A lad that details on FB that I follow swears by them and his before/after shots are epic.

Spray Tar and glue remover over the wheels, leave for 15 minutes, pressure wash off. It’s the easiest pain free way to remove plasti-dip. (I used to valet a car for a guy that did it for a living) Oh, and yellow cars are hella-gay!

I love these. I’m not usually a fan of Jap crap but I could quite easily smoke that bad boy around. (Is it not super rare in a manual? Apologies, I have no knowledge of them)

Bolt straight on mate.

I've been doing track days for 15+ years and have a big circle of friends that do it too. Im yet to find someone that's bought a 'Track prepped' car and not had to fix umpteen bodges inside and out. Buying someone else's headache if you ask me. I once went to view a 'Track 172 Cup' off this...

Ahhh, I see. There's a few different engine variants on the 1800. Majority are Timing chain iirc, with the earlier ones Belt. I just assumed they were all Belt.

£400 you can have my wife as well. (Collection only)

Get new brake fluid flushed through, take a tyre pressure gauge and a pump, a pack of cable ties, a Stanley knife and a trolley jack/wheel brace and a 10/13 mm spanner. Been doing track days for 20 years and never needed anything more. Most fun I’ve had was in a standard 115bhp MX5 At Combe...
