probably me mate, turinis? RS192
oh and it only looks immaculate at speed, don't stop and look closer...lol!
think I spotted you as well pootling past
lol, thankfully they came with the car when I bought it so no worries :)
Chip-mk1 wheels staying ;) for now at least. and i'll get a couple of pics today if I remember. but the wheels basically touch the front bumper even after I dialled as much as I could out with the AST adjustables
been a bit useless keeping the project thread up to date, i'll sort that tomorrow
but basically its done, MOT last weekend and Tax kicked in first of May so road testing/shakedown has begun. couple of niggles uncovered, mostly due to the massive amount of castor the 182 wishbones have put on...
as above, the cost is the prep, not the paint. decent prep (no buckets of filler) costs a lot as it take a lot of time
I paid 3.2k for my respray a few years back but that was full hit in and out and some welding, including a new roof skin fitting.
correct, no seperate tps and no iscv as such either. as you say the throttle itself modulates to give a stable idle (also that's how the cruise control works)
you still checking the clio forums.................means heading back ;)
myself, I've never left, I've always had at least one clio since I passed my test in 2001, currently I have 5 and nothing else!lol!
mmm, seems to be about the only thing available, they do a 8.4kw one as well but its a beast at 3kg
may have to get a nosey at your at some point mate, noise isn't an issue cars loud as hell anyway, just effectiveness
which one have you got chip, I was looking at this one

but wasn't sure how well they actually perform and what your saying isn't encouraging
standard box is a no go for...
you want offset (ET) of between 43 and 36 odd ideally to be issue free
PCD is stud pattern which is 4x100 for all 4 stud Renault hubs
centre bore is 60.1mm, so look for same or larger (can use spigots to bring bore down easily, but have to machine smaller bore wheels up to fit, PITA)
interesting
I may have a slightly bigger set of hurdles is all as my '172' track car is actually the b*****d child of a phase 1 172 shoehorned into a mk1 shell. so fitment could be a bit of a swine.
I can see that POV, however ime its been based in fear over experience. I've never used anything but used wheels and provided you check them over first, ring them for cracks and then fit tyres and balance there is no reason to fear
