I’ve got 15mm spacers on the rear of my van and have no rubbing with 182 wheels.

That’s lovely, good choice! That wonky rear number plate is annoying me though. And it’s anout 10mm too high. But I love the car, congrats.

Mate in work has a Mk3 FRS. Done less than 10,000 trouble free (hard!) miles and he had to have the head gasket replaced under recall/warranty. Didn’t want it doing but didn’t want the recall outstanding either... Had nothing but problem after problem since. Shower of s**t really for a near...

There’s loads on here already. Storm grey 182. AST and PMS for most stuff, caged, ITB’s, etc etc every nut and bolt on it has been apart and put back together again.

You won’t be able to buy and build a collector-spec clio for £18,200 let alone make profit out of one. My mate has pretty much the perfect spec clio, built it himself over 3 years so owes him peanuts. We’ve worked out it would cost at the very least, £20,000 to build, maybe even £25,000 as he...

My Mk1 has been in this u it for the last 3-4 years. Prior to that it spent 3-4 years in my mates garage. This winter.... this winter it’s getting done. (Unless I get this new job, then it will get left in this u it... ?)

Clio 197/200 with a Meg R26 conversion. There isn’t a better car for the money imo.

Lower it a bit, put spacers on it, paint wheels white, keep spoiler, be cool.

I get free tickets to this every year, still never been! (I give them to my staff instead) Was it a good day?

Or just buy some of this and brush it over the rust. It goes purple/black and stops it rusting further. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112335520240

You’ll get some cheap pattern wings for about £60 a pair. Buy them, paint the back of them with under seal so that they last, and fit them as they are. Problem completely solved, cheap, and will last.

It rained? In Wales?! I don’t believe it.... Amazing pics though, good work. And good work coping with Von-Bottlebank all weekend. X

I love this car! E46 tourings Still looks fresh.

We’d to see some pics to advise properly mate. It could be tar, fallout, or could be masking lines from a previous (poor!) paint job. Just grab a quick phone pic and post it up and someone will be able to help. ?

This is amazing, keep the updates coming please!

In the first pic, the coolant/heater pipe is supposed to clip in to it. He one below the clip. In your second pic I can’t help. Sorry.

Amen. Never seen a good wrap, they all look s**t.

B14’s are way too soft for track. Don’t get me wrong, they’re amazing in the road, the best I’ve had, but no good for track only.

Your fuel gauge makes me want to cry. ?

Are you sure the 02 sensor has gone? Most decays come with a Lambda hole for the 02 sensor to plug back in. But if not, people just cable tie them up somewhere out of the way. Id be very surprised if someone has removed the lambda completely.

It yourself a new cat from somewhere like this; https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F311317685364 Get your current exhaust cut, get the new part fitted (by a reputable exhaust place, £100 max) and carry on with life. All good in the hood.

Good work kidder, Loves a good rescue.

Yeah man! If you c0ck by a mm or a cm, c0cking’s c0cking.

Yeah man!

It’s nice not worrying about the bonnet flipping up a la mk2 clio... Yeah it’s been a s**t ton of work I can’t lie. I needed to get it to CSF as if I didn’t set myself a deadline, like you I’d have just done half the work and moved on or started day dreaming again.

Took the van to CSF at he weekend. (An awesome weekend, like, really awesome) and the van, aside from boiled power steering fluid, performed faultlessly. 8 sessions on track, plus my mate had a go, and it just kept on going with no issues. The front wheels are now gold as they got so hot so...

The strut needs to come out to change the spacer unfortunately.

When were the rear shocks and springs replaced? (Apologies if I’ve missed that) If you’ve fitted brand new kit to the front and are running old/tired stuff on the rear, that would explain the height difference and the wayward handling.

Some great prizes and an awesome amount of money to raise for the guide dogs! Well done all.
