I’ve heard he’s opening up a museum.

Lovely track for Clios. Looks great.

🤣 That hard, short braking into Barcroft before Sunny In is a proper scary moment. There used to be a gate there years ago, and I’ve been through that a few times. If the car isn’t straight and stable as you enter Barcroft, braking is definitely going to give you problems. No better feeling...

Don’t lift through the Jim Clark Esses - keep your foot flat through the first two corners. Then ease off slightly just before turning into Barcroft to keep the car settled. Be cautious not to carry too much speed into Hawthorns. If you go in too hot, you'll run wide, which compromises your...

As above, they’re not standard. They have a torsion beam running through the middle but it’s main purpose is to absorb shocks and maintain ride height. Out of curiosity are you just using the car on the road or track?

Bloody lovely that :love:

Slightly cheaper - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BCQ4CBYF/?tag=cliospnet01-21 I have bought both and pretty much the same.

These work nicely - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324689728528

Have you looked at a particular series?

Cheers Mark, I’ve heard great things about them 👍

Found an engine now, so at least I can start the process Jon.

It’s been a glorious start to the summer, and I was looking forward to so many things with this little car. Sadly, she’s coming off the road until I can address this oil issue. If anybody has a decent, working 182 engine that I can switch over while I get this engine off for a refresh, please...

You don’t remove the rings, the pipes unclip. It’s pretty straight forward once you’ve figured it out. Very much like the fittings on the carbon canister pipe that goes to the inlet.

Yep, that’ll do it.

I know Grams are making the 182 Cup Springs. I have a brand new set here, which look identical and still have the Renault part number. I’ll be fitting them in the summer, so will feedback. Hopefully, more companies will get on board as there’s still a market, I’m sure 🤞🏻

Beautiful, but why cheap out on the oil filter?

For reference, most 172/182 racing in TDT/TDC/ClubSport Trophy - I think it’s the same for the K-Tec 182 Championship - use standard calipers with a decent pad setup like DS1.11/DS2500 with braided lines, racing fluid and a set of big balls. No need for bigger calipers on a 172/182 unless...

DS1.11 if you're doing track days.

Standard Brembo pads aren’t the most confidence inspiring. I switched mine out for HP2000 which is the Brembo Sport version and those were a little better. I’m currently using DS2500s, but not even sure if they’re available these days. I’m talking for general daily road use. Lots of other...

Nope.

Resisting the temptation to go back to Silver on my Turinis, but these look lovely 🤔

🤣 not my style fella. I prefer all-inclusive 🤪

🤣 The drama hasn’t gone unnoticed 👀, and I didn’t for a moment think the clique would lower its drawbridge for a peasant like me! 🤣 Just a few lads from work, but it sounds like my car’s more likely to make it than yours. If the clique ever wants a race to Germany, it can be arranged! 🚙💨💥

😂 Germany, mate? You inviting me to the clique’s sacred pilgrimage or just taking the piss? 😜

Biggish service on the car today. I was going to get work to do it, but then I remember how they hate working on these old cars. So, I’ll just let them do an oil service when it’s due later in the year. It’s been three years and 6,000 miles since the spark plugs were changed, so I figured I...

Yes, I noticed the mistake after posting—it was my error. When I checked with Monroe, the number had disappeared, which is why I mentioned that some parts are no longer in production since I compiled the list. I guess this is one of those cases. I should have been more careful, but the list is...

I think KONI offers an alternative – 8710-1395SPORT. I'm not sure if they specifically cater to the CUP versions, though, which I imagine would be more road-compliant, with the KONI being more performance-oriented. Was there much difference between the standard strut and the CUP versions back in...

Brigsy’s a feckin’ Renault legend, a Yorkshire lad through and through — one of ours!
