Long overdue update. The flameshed moved further than 5 miles today, for the first time in ages :smile: Off to @NorthloopCup at TMR HQ for the roll centre kit. Brilliant bit of kit, and the man himself is a little, dwarfish legend. Thanks for your hospitality bud, and all the help. Massively...

Not sure how clear it is, but here you go. I removed the ABS (referenced in the email) and swapped to a cup system. At first the MOT station didn't like the braking, but that is a known cup problem, so I also printed the VOSA test note Issue 31, which highlights the cup brake issue. Armed with...

Lovely :) Sorry to hear of it's teething problems, but looks to be on it's way to recovery! Which track session you doing at CSS?

Give the boys at J-tech in Caversham a ring mate, tell them I (Oli) told you to ring. They have guys who can sort this out I think.

As informative as this is guys, I own a 330i N52 petrol engine :) So can we keep the derv chat to it's own thread please....

Welcome along, any questions, give one of the team (green and orange names) a shout :)

I have removed the arch liners on mine, but not enough air was getting directly to the calipers / discs / pads. Plus I'm a parts slag.

Sticking brake caliper?

Mmm. I may well be up for this. @mossyv6 - how does the eligibility for the display paddock work? And can your car be on display and go on track? :)

Brave words. Brave, brave words. I'm not worried. It may be some time before the meg is lapping anyone. Albeit I hope not 😧

I'm going to just throw them in for the minute bud. Wait until the front needs a touch up, then get them blended. Mine need modifying to get around a low boost hose from the manifold. Hence why they aren't in yet :smile:

Have fun guys, iceberg is looking great Fletch. :)

I'll start adding interest. An extra can for every week payment is missed post CSS.

Sort it out. You're effectively my pub, remember.

Been a while since Oulton, will be good to catch up bud!

The whole weekend is shaping up to be epic. Best CSS ever (I haven't been to any others to caveat that statement 😂)

Oh. I do believe I wasn't there. Nor @Fletcher 😂

Great news, and I'm glad Jamie and Leo sorted you out. Top guys They have some cool stuff down there aswell! Great little car this, good progress being made :)

Oh yes. Silly me. I'm in Wales I'm afraid :( I remember now. It's Mallory I'm trundling along to. :)

Ooh. I like. A lot.

Looking good. You racing brands Tony?

I have some cup racer ones from CMC, just not fitted them yet :)

Do you have an OBD Reader out of interest?

Top man! Cheers bud. It will never be going back to BMW again, i'll use the guys who work on the clio for big stuff. They race an M3 so are well accustomed to Beemers :smile: I'll be doing the minor jobs myself though.

Diff is without doubt the best mod.

I agree, suppose I phrased it badly. Don't spend big money if it is a daily / commuter.

So, nearly 4k miles clocked to date, and i'm still loving it. I feel a little bit sorry for the clio, it hasn't moved, but I suppose it is keeping the miles off the charger. It will also allow me to go more extreme with the clio in terms of suspension. But thats for that thread, not this one...

Have you seen a bear's arse? Natural defences prevent any form of interference in that area. Anyway, I digress... In answer to the OP - I'd do whatever I needed based on the intended use. Road car / commuter - nothing except good maintenance. Track car or toy, depends how long you intend on...

Shhh. Through the art of creative accounting, the wife believes it was all done for less than £2k. 😂

I'd do exactly what I have done. Again. 😂
