Stuck the old girl on the rollers at Surrey this morning for a clio meet with the mk1 guys. Not the greatest result but I guess I can't grumble too much for a 187k car :-)

And normal service is resumed with the new CTS fixing the thirsty issues @Ant1

Totally forgot to whore the oddy in here as well after emerging from 8 months of slumber Cheers Ben

nice purchase matey, welcome to RB ownership

nice progress, Cadwell is simply sublime. Donny is good, Oulton is outstanding.....Cadwell in a Clio is just poetry imo

welcome

I'm still waiting for nectar points double up to get this, lol

ai duck and cover, if nothing shows up then who cares?!

Genuine matey from rpd. And previous experience, the 182 had same issue few years back and replacing CTS cured it. Makes sense really as if ecu thinks engine is cold still it'll keep chucking extra fuel in

Next, fitting new rear bumper and tail lights, and also removed the side trims to clean behind them to whilst I was at it So rip the rear of the car off, and bits everywhere initially cleaned up, including trims off side And new parts fitted including brand new plate light...

Fair bit more work done on the car recently, think I'll split it up a post per change as there's loads of pics to add as well. Not going to necessarily be in chronological order I'm afraid but all occurred over past few weeks! So first one in this thread is I had noticed some play in the...

Not really been an issue to me as my track wheels are ratty as f**k and crucially black anyway ;-)

There fine, ran them on my track car with stock lines and calipers for years no issue
