Unfortunately so. Had the car in yesterday to start with the work. Some positives, mostly negatives though. Ball joints are in and fitted - knocking gone. I didn't actually get any pictures, but they are group n ball joints and don't look any different to normal. They cost £58, and I'd...

I'll get this going again I think. Not an awful lot has changed on the car since the last post really. I've fitted PMS top mounts & a white line, that's about it. Last weekend I did a track day at blyton, great day and car performed well beyond my wildest dreams. I overheated and warped my...

Out of interest where did you get the arms from & what did you pay for them??

Stunning Gaz, presume this means you don't want the Cup back ;) This the one that was in the pictures that you sent me me when I bought the cup?

Thanks for all the comments. Yeah, the car is pretty much perfect, that's why it's looked the same for the last five years or so...!

Yesterday i went to Blyton on a track day with a few others guys from here. Whiteley, Jord etc... Great day, the car performed exceptionally well. I felt so much confident on the limit, it seemed to have so much mechanical grip & i was only running on road tyres. Car performed faultlessly on...

After going round in this for a some passengers it's such a great car. It's made me want an ///M car more than ever. Thanks for the laps again pal :)

Re: E36 v2 Looks great Jord, hopefully get to come out for a few passenger laps on Saturday with you. Made me look at E36's today, think I'll probably go for a M3 3.0 when I eventually come sell the clio. Offer brilliant performance for your cash.

I had a battery issue (used 50% battery in the matter of 30 minutes), but turn off 'background app refresh', it will be fine.

What wear like compared to a 'normal road tyre'?

Perfect, thanks.

Yeah, that's exactly why I want them. I'm no track hero and hardly do any days, I don't use the car in bad weather so wet grip isn't a massive issue (although there meant to be pretty good) The one thing I have with getting them through work is that I don't have to pay upfront for them, which...

Gents, I'm looking at getting 4 new tyres for the cup, I am swaying heavily towards AD08R's. I'm wanting them in 205/45/16 fitment. Cheapest place I seem to be able to get them at is through my work @ £107 p/corner. Anybody seen anything cheaper?? Are they worth the premium over a normal road...

Mines the same too, it's on H&R coilovers, no idea what the ride height is set too.

It's just H&R springs - but looks great. Next thing we plan to do is spacers all around, will look perfect. After that, just plan to get the wheels refurb'd - there a matt finish and never look that clean, so think we'll be going for a anthracite powder coated finish.

It's Linz' daily - I have driven it once, it drove really well. She's averaging around 35mpg out of it too - so in 197 terms she's doing bloody well!! Only issue we have got / had is, it won't select 1st gear when you first start up. We've figured a way around it, but it's not ideal. We've got...

Yeah, I'd seen it on Facebook. Yeah, I'll stick to my word, like you did! The way things are going I can't afford anything better and the clio doesn't cost anything to run / keep. Just need to sort out a few bits and pieces over winter - still needs some new top mounts - they have a very...

One day maybe you'll be able to buy it back... One day - but it won't be anytime soon!!

Me and Linz went out last night and took some photos of my Cup and her new Ultra Red 197. We found an epic location, if only we had a better camera and a tri-pod they'd have been superb!! Anyway, heres the pictures :) Comments appreicated as always, Jamie

Here is mine throughout the time I've owned it, it has changed abit over time.

We'll see - will depend if she joins up on here or not. I'll get a right rollocking if she does!!

Just a very quick shot once we have got my other halfs new UR 197 home. It's a stunning car - I'm a tad jealous of it! Not sure what the dealership thought when we turned up in my Cup!! I'll get some much better pictures up with time!

I'll be along to this, seeing as I can't make it to CSS.

I saw you on the way there i think looch, was coming through Wellow and followed you to the roadabout in Ollerton. Was in the company car, so you wouldn't have recognised me!

The father in law works under autokool, he's mobile too. Based in Mansfield. Pm me for details if required.

I'm out this time, an afternoon of cider & BBQ's is way too much to resist.

I'm in Ollerton which is all of 10-15minutes from Newark. Glad you've found somewhere after the problems with the house in Mansfield. :)

Put me down as a maybe for this :)

Thanks, was only parked on the gravel for a short while, initially parked over the grass the other side of the ditch. Was a few 1*2's there, didn't recognise any though.
