Hit it with what? How? Are you sure a dab of oppo wouldn't have sorted that?

Two and a half years old, 43k miles, thought it would have lasted longer but kind of glad it hasn't, it's just the nudge I need to visit Mountune again.

Thanks Russ.

Can this be done easily or at all? Mine is very slightly blowing from somewhere, it's just the excuse I need to go for the MR230 pack which has the exhaust included but knowing Mountune it could be a good few weeks before I can get it fitted. Paste? Bandage? Welding? What are my options?

1,158 vs 1,204 kgs IIRC...what you gained in kerb weight you lost in your lardy passenger.

LOL 200 bhp vs 200 bhp with the same weight. Fun trying though. Brakes? I'd be amazed if you need new ones...I saw over 35k on my OEM discs and pads...that's unless you're always on the brakes.

This bit is though; http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/regulation/27/made Do not use them if they may dazzle other road users...ergo if you can see that I'm behind you in traffic, turn the f***er off.

Nice! You need a rear facing camera.

I absolutely agree 100%. This is why I now drive the ST. The Clio 200 I owned was superb, perfect even, but only when you were wringing its neck which can become tiresome. In the almost perfect world of boost that is my ST I don't have to hold 2nd gear at 5.5k rpm in case an overtaking...

Silvervisions or any attempt at de-oranging indicators. It's not a mod. You are not being individual. You are making your car, in regard to the indicators, the exact same as everyone else's out there. I've always founhd it odd that orange behind a light lens is seen as baaaad, but red is...

I drove behind a blue one today for some time, it was immaculate. Looked stunning in the sun.

Did it start?

As above. Coloured ovals make me weep. Fantastic car otherwise.

Plus the Fisher Price plastics on the gearknob. There's more substance in an empty crisp bag than in the selector button.

I've passed 42k miles now, nothing to report. Chart and cost update is overdue so I'll get that updated later. I almost had to make another call to the insurance company last night...

Fire and theft?

This makes for an interesting read; The Case Against Grip... http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/09/the-case-against-grip-as-evidenced-by-the-2016-mazda-mx-5-miata/

Ha ha ha...you fail hard for not going around the roundabpout at least twice though! :p

I compared the two, the Fiesta requires less effort to make progress, the Clio rewards the required effort more and has an infinitely better throttle response. Compared to anything boosted most NA cars require more effort to overtake...that doesn't necessarily make them sh*t.

These are a Clio 200 (same track, same wheelbase, same power, same torque*) but with a much lower centre of gravity and slippy-diff-rear wheel drive. I really can't see what's not to like about them...other than the full list price...which you negated very well. Love it. * slight variances...

Whoa, good effort. Clearly ran out of common sense and gained a sh*tload of stupidity a good half a mile or so beforehand.

Because of this maybe? http://www.cliosport.net/threads/iobd-app-compromised.782108/

Yep. I need some external footage too, then I might be happy...

I've learned a huge amount this time around working with four cameras and a separate audio field recorder but it's a huge task still pulling it all together. Annoyingly I'm trying to justify to myself another three cameras which will make it even harder.

Here's the entire day in 20 seconds; and 10 minutes;

A cheap £5 Bluetooth OBD from eBay is what I use which I then log from using Torque Pro. GPS? Nexus 5 does that. There's better out there but for me it's enough. As above, yes it looks complicated but out doesn't have to be. What I do in the video above is taking it to extremes. You can do...

I use a GoPro HD2, GoPro Hero, and 2x G1W-H to record video, a Zoom H1 to record audio, Serif MoviePlus 6 to overlay and synchronise all of the video and audio streams, an old beat up SIM-less Nexus 5 to log data and GPS position, Excel to manipulate and correct/smooth that data, and with a...

That's race red? It looks like Molten Orange! That was £725 well spent LOL I bet that Octavia is a limo by comparison ride comfort wise.

Very!

Exactly, although it is odd that the only people who seem to get behind the car and proclaim its greatness are those that own them! I would have had one, love the way they look, almost had one too but swayed to the ST at the last minute. I'm kind of glad I did as, from what I've read, the car...
