To finish the year off, put together a short video of some of my favourite highlights. It would be impossible to include every best bit a the video would be ten times longer, but the clips used are some of the best!

Car is going to be off the road very shortly, but not got long to...

Re: N/W Xmas Meet Sunday 13th December
Start a new thread with a new poll then merge all the posts from this one to the new one......
Pfffffft moderators these days ;)
Considered PE2s? 205/45 or 195/45 - Id say they would be the best all rounder and probably last the longest. Good deals can be had if you are buying four? (Usually have deals on at Costco)
I wouldnt rate Paradas for this time of year after running them last winter, pathetic levels of grip in...
Cant describe it really... difference between standard top mounts and fitting these was unreal though. Plus the ability to adjust castor and camber is a bonus.
Everything on the front end so much tighter and 'together' is probably the best explination.
Good price, the last group buy that went down was £150 or so, but everyone paid and it fell through as the supplier to the supplier messed everyone around!
Luckily I managed to source them elsewhere
Another thing to check is....the red light in the center of the dashboard, does it go out when you are trying to turn it over? If it does not go out there is something immobiliser related stopping it from starting
Has it got an aftermarket alarm or immobiliser fitted? Or just the standard renault system?
Tried locking and unlocking the car then attempting to start it?
I had this. It did it once or twice over a period of a few months, then started getting more frequent, until it ended up having to pump the pedal multiple times just to stop.
Turns out one of the seals inside the master cylinder was knackered when I took it apart. Put a second hand cylinder...
Its because the Ph1 clocks work off direct wires to the sensors and ECU (thats how I can run Ph1 dials on my Mk1)....whereas the Mk2 most of it runs through the CAN-BUS and UCH systems, so cant be just put in and wired up :)
If you want to loose power steering AND air con, get the brackets from a bog spec Mk1 Clio....its just a bracket that bolts to the block and an arm that holds the alternator.
If you want to keep the power steering, and just loose the air con only, get the alternator brackets from a 172 Cup...

Sometimes I wish I had kept it....but it was too slow and there was nothing else that could be done to it really!
The OP said without ITBs
I know of one that made 190bhp with Schricks/Matched Inlets/Decat/ITG Panel Filter etc
Fred got similar with some CatCams a few weeks back AFAIK
Unsure on costs, guess it depends how technical either end of the car is. If you wanted stainless they would easily do it in a day TIG it all, rather than most other places that just use MIG...or I think they can do mild steel for cheaper. They quoted me £250 for full system on my old Mk2 in...
Just edited my post, used them both before aye.
If you want top top quality that will be perfect go to JP, probably be a bit more money but the quality is far better. TBH though it wasnt all that expensive, Christophers had stuff done there before too
