If it's just a track car, ditch the power steering all together. Makes life soooo much easier.

Your UCH is dying!

It's taken him 6 years! It is like a show car, but give it half a dozen track days, it will be battered. He has no sympathy!!

See the gaps? Once all the screws are out, you slide it right so the left hand side clears, pull the left hand side free and then the right. He's thought of everything! (Apart from a new dephaser)

If the clio was going slower he would have broke less hard. Nobody other than the clio driver is at fault for locking up and nearly having a crash. If mark was doing 130mph and the clio driver decided he would do 130mph, it's down to the clio driver to drive at a safe enough distance that he...

The cage goes throughout the bulkhead to the suspension turrets too.

He peeled the vinyl off, cut the hole out for the cage, then glued the vinyl back down.

No his work uniform, the gimp suit.

Marks speed has fk all to do with anything!! It's up to the clio driver to remain at a safe distance. Which he either didn't or wasn't paying attention. Either way, mark's speed is irrelevant in this instance. IMO.

I don't think you understand... I just typed 'Clio 15 alloy' in to eBay and there are hundreds and hundreds of them.

Standard engine, custom ITB manifold, power steering and ac delete, 182 manifold, custom exhaust, mtec ecu mapped at circuit motors/sabre tuning. 214bhp and 186ftlb.

Yeah it was a bit of a downer. The dephaser was replaced less than 150 miles ago but it was over 4 years ago. I don't think it liked 8000rpm the first day after being rested for 4 years. I told him it's an ideal time for cams but he's having nOne of it.

He got LOTS of attention today, everyone commenting on how well it's been finished. And it has. I just don't tell him because I'm a jealous pig.

It had it's first outing today. It's quick!! Sadly it shat it's dephaser on the last run and knocked the timing out :( But it made a 2014 trackday which was the aim. Bloody nice car now!! Some pics;

Yep. Will look like any other 530d with 160,000 miles if it had black/grey wheels.

More driveway?? Blimey. Must be able to fit about 44 cars at your house now??

There are thousands of sets of clio wheels for sale. Why can't you find any??

182's have a narrowing on the end of the cat. The '182 cat mod' removes that narrowing and sees it the same size as the rest of the exhaust.

So, this has been made and is on the road! (Illegally...) Going on its first track day on Friday. It was mapped by circuit motors last week and it managed 214bhp ATF. It goes like stink!! Makes our 240bhp mini look like a micra. I'll update with some photos on Friday. @Cub. should be in...

Yes! The dci 106 if looked after is a proper little weapon in the mk3 clio. Easiest away to tell it has a 6 speed box.

This. I use a specialist for window scratches, he has all the kit, and he said that if you can feel it with a fingernail, there is no chance of getting it out.

They look shat. That's all you need to know.

It's fiddly but yes it's just a standard procedure. Don't just replace the belt though, get the whole kit. If the belt has frayed due to a tensioner issue and you just replace the belt you'll have the same problem in two weeks time! Order a kit from Renault Wolverhampton on here. As cheap as...

Why not just try it and see for yourself?

This is how I treat all of my cars. Best way!

45mpg around town, 55+ on a run.

@MarcJP what's going down kid?? Did you get anywhere with it today?

Cut it with a Stanley knife and pull it out. Even a monkey can do that!

That's your aux belt. Not the end of the world mate. (As long as the part we can't see isn't wrapped around the Cambelt!) Rent a car for 2 days, get a mobile mechanic to fit a new aux belt kit. Bosh.

Nice wheels, noddy would be proud... Engine bay looks nice though.
