    Resurrecting a Clio 172 ph1 stood for 3 years 60k milage

    Remove rear door cards and check the condition of the arches/sills for rust. That's the reason I scrapped mine. If all is ok then basically what Dan has listed above.

    Equivalent or better performance to the 3080 and you get a warranty https://www.ebuyer.com/1896648-xfx-amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt-speedster-merc-319-black-graphics-card-rx-78tmercb9

    Exhaust Options

    A big single box system will pass noise limits. Adding a mid box will help you with drone on the way to and from the track.

    197 Brembo calipers rebuild- HELP! :(

    Normally the brackets are one piece to give more stiffness. Maybe yours allow the callipers to flex.

    197 Brembo calipers rebuild- HELP! :(

    Never had DS2500 squealing, used them on a few cars with single piston, 4 piston and 6 piston callipers. With and without shims. Have the callipers been machined correctly so that they sit in the correct position on the discs?

    Solid top mounts daily?

    The bearings and any seals and circlips or retaining rings will all be of the shelf items that you can get much cheaper from a bearing/seal specialist rather than the top mount manufacturer.

    Solid top mounts daily?

    Top mounts don't make much difference to NVH.

    I went with Footman James, I'm going to have to get an independent valuation for mine 🙄

    Thermalright stuff is awesome, normally way cheaper than the competition too.

    Wossner Valves

    Any benefit to Wossner valves over Supertech valves? They don't need different springs. Also 197 springs are uprated over the 182 ones.

    That's right. However I think the 990 can have reliability issues

    Insurance companies, who do you use?

    Currently Ageas on the daily and Footman James (Ageas underwritten) on the M3. Sterling did a decent quote for the M3 too. Been with Adrian Flux and Lancaster whenever they've come out cheapest.

    100% I went back to flat to go 4k from 1440p but now there are curved options I wouldn't go any other way.

    Let me know what you think of it. I've got a 27" LG 4K monitor at the moment but I miss my old curved monitor and I reckon I could get away with 32" on my desk.

    AST Suspension - Digressive option?

    I had DDP on my Mégane AST suspension. And on my Clio I didn't. I didn't feel any difference on track but on the road I felt like there was a bit more low speed compliance (speed bumps for example).

    172 Cup brake bias - rear brakes compensator fault? Not the MOT issue!!

    That's why I changed to different valves for a slightly increased rear bias. Made a world of difference to braking and stability.
