Wow, that's not bad at all. Seen loads of newer cars worse than that. Agitate the surface rust, give it a few coats of Hydrate 80 and if possible buy a can of B&H Dynax S50 and apply in all the seams and hidden areas. It creeps into all the places you can't get a brush and has anti-rust...

A picture I took of the car in Morrisons this morning, 24 hours after the fitment of the new suspension. I'm going to have to get some 15-inch wheels on this sooner I think. I made the choice to have it set up for the circuit as I won't be killing it with road miles and wearing the tyres...

Hi Andy, yes I did. I realised I'd taken a picture of it missing. I'm rubbish at that sort of thing. Mine were in really good nick.

I bought a couple off K-Tec when my first Clio 182 had a dodgy connector. I tried all sorts to fit them but couldn’t get the new connectors on. Tried warming the pipe to soften it, but to no avail. I was lucky Renault still sold replacements pipes, so that’s what I did. Best of luck fella, hope...

Yeah it’s certainly a challenge. I’d still invest in some S50 though. A can with a flexible lance is only £17. The UB is good but I use it for underbody protection. The S50 is thinner and creeps into seams and cavities. It won’t harden in the way UB will, so will self heal if it’s disturbed...

Not the worst I’ve seen. Hydrate80 will stop the surface rust but it’s down in the seam which is the problem. Once it’s in between that, it’s just a matter of time. I’d agitate it with a wire brush, then stick some Hydrate 80 on it. And as above, whip the skirts off and repeat. I’ll tell you...

Any updates?

I was just about to say, I snapped one of those on my BG 😂 I could never get the thread out.

Just been to have the suspension set up in York, so did a detour across the North Yorkshire Moors. What a car!

Admin!

Took the day off to visit Track Torque Racing in Tockwith, York. They’ve set up my old track car many times and they know what they’re doing. Work included setting the ride height, geometry and corner balancing. Poor blokes face 😂 he wasn’t having a good start after hitting himself on...

Here’s a picture of one of my old beams with sensors still in place. Might help you a bit. NSR (left) two male pins and the shorter of the two. OSR (right) female plug and much longer.

I’ve restored 3 Clio Sport 182s FF with ESP and replaced rear ABS sensors on every car. They’re a fortune but the only ones I’ve used are those on the K Tec racing site - https://k-tecracing.com/products/oe-spec-clio-2-rs-abs-sensors I know there are some cheaper alternatives but I stick with...

Time to tackle the melted exhaust trims. And remove the melted plastic off the exhaust tips. A bit of Acetone, a thumb nail and some Autosol did the trick. Got a length of plastic trim lok from my mates at CMRacing and cut a piece 27cm in length. It’s virtually the same width as...

I’d second that. Unbeknown to me, our Bodyshop had snapped the end off one of my headlight jets, so it never worked. It flew through its MOT.

I think you need to speak to Luca de Meo fella.

But it is a new version of the old model which is now electrified and crossed over. Semantics..... :)

I think that looks quite nice. In terms of nomenclature, it makes sense to launch a newer version of the old model as it's less confusing for buyers. Look at Peugeot with the 107 which was just a newer version of the 106. Then after the 107 came the 108, again a newer version of the 107 and so...

If you're thinning on top and going for a full-face helmet, invest in a Balaclava. 1. In case you set on fire (joking) 2. It'll soak up the sweat 3. Stop the helmet from rubbing on your napper and making it very sore.

Welcome! I saw this post on the FB Group. Looks nice. Did you buy it from a forum member? What are your plans for it?

If it’s the same car, my mate had it as part of a buy out and I put Max in touch with him. Max said he wanted to buy it back. I think I know you from British 24 hour days. I used to sponsor a few teams under SG Petch. Teesside Tigers, Fury and also some EKl teams. You were driving for Kartforce...

N/A I’m afraid

I thought I recognised that car.

They look the DBs in White. But nobody’s overtaking you with those stud nuts 😂

That made me think of when I supplied a bloke from Scotland with a Daihatsu YRV which was sourced from Ireland. The full detail is a little fuzzy but I remember him kicking off because Daihatsu UK refused him a warranty claim. They said his warranty started from the date of manufacture, and...

Crikey that takes me back. Didn't this all kick off when the media were campaigning for car prices in the UK to be more in line with Europe? I remember the job being on its arse, so we all started flogging parallel imports. Mazda's in particular.

God's own county. Me and the missus often take the Richmond > Hawes > Kendal route, before heading north through the Lakes to Penrith and back home along the A66. Might have to make a few diversions by the sounds of things.

I’d have been going to the branch on the A66.

I’m not a fan tbh. They’ll never rust under my ownership.

Forgot to update the stud nut kit, supplied by @FrogJam Motorsport. I went for 68mm as they’re ideal for cars running no spacers and TD Pro Race alloys. They’ll also allow me to run my standard Cup alloys with the centre caps on.
