just read from start to finish, great that you have had it on track in several iterations already so get the benefit of changes felt from splashing cash on mods :smile: PMS shifter and Roll Centre kit are two of my favourite mods, only ones that made equal (perhaps more of a) difference were...

depends on what you use the car far in all honesty, road use some brembo HC discs and ds2500 pads are more than sufficient and for rears i'd just go to RDP for Renault originals @George@RTR_Parts

yeah it basically boils down to photobucket being (insert profanity of choice here)

welcome

Hit a stumbling block, I haven't managed to ease out the bolt holes in the KW V2's in time, and with only 2 days to go didn't want to leave the car in bits any longer as such I have refitted the FK's for Cadwell. In some ways this may be a blessing in disguise as I can get a feel for each...

nice project, love Oulton and nice save on the spin!lol!

Fitted my new inner tie rods today and also got my KW V2 coilovers in that post, so I'll need to ease the bolt holes in them to fit the 172 bolts and get them on :-) this is as they are clio mk1 Williams fitment and the mk1 run smaller bolts. Then I'll set my camber and track it, dial in a bit...

Nice base tbh chap, feel free to pop over with the car if you want any assistance with things, I'm fairly well versed in clios overall :-)

superb.... and sequential just basically wins at life :)

I blame welding my sill up (and thus adding metal) for making the car heavier as well!lol!

not that much lighter, there's a chap on the facebook group with a phase 1 down at 806kg with all standard panels (no FG) admittedly he's only got a half cage but I reckon strip cage out both of ours and talking mk1 only about 20kg lighter. Book weights for a mk1 phase 1.5 and mk2 phase 1 aren't...

loverly

I am looking forward to stretching her legs properly next week, but I have a feeling I may want more pooowaaaahhh

Oh weighed the car at work again, and with some strange maths to compensate for known differences from last time, its 855Kg with a sniff of fuel in. on the day it was 880kg with 1/2 tank and the heavy wheels on it. I have also calculated that with the slick shod OZ Superleggera, passenger seat...

Cheers for the comments chaps, realise the mk1's aren't as common so interest in them isn't as much as the more relevant threads on mk2 prep!

love a good man maths track car spend, you'll have a much more enjoyable time even as a beginner with tyres and brakes you can trust and lean on a bit imo, good work! enjoy!

I'd convert to full rear coilover with stiffer springs

nooooo, don't kill it!lol!

Welcome, I'm not far away either in Belper area

You booked Cadwell yet matey, can come for a passenger lap and see how it's fairing :-)

so, car back together, waaaaay to much camber on and tracked by eye on a wonky drive, I grabbed my phone, taxed the sucker and blasted off out into Derbyshire!!! what a motor!!! drove awful, pulling all over the place and tramlining like a right git, so no review of the ACS kit yet as I badly...

Next I refilled the box oil and as the car had had an engine oil change recently also, decided to treat it to new header tank and some coolant too :) tank fitted I then flushed the system, removing most of the pipework to get rid of as much of the old coolant as I could. then filled with...

So onto the fun bit......roll kit install! first and foremost, its lovely looking bit of gear, very rare for me to splash out on new stuff in all honesty as i'm basically tight! unboxing is fun and Ant has included some great instructions which make fitting the kit a doddle on the drive with...

So with Cadwell booked for 13th July and the MOT passed, figured it was time to sort the roll centre kit and fit that. First job was to remove the hubs for cleaning and painting, I love working on this car these days, everything has been off and anti seized and Powdercoated etc so relatively...

my favourite mods are lightening it, as usually they are free at the ripping out and chopping up stages :)

or disconnect it and bridge the plug with a bit of wire to prove its the switch at fault

lol! I was looking for treasure @dann2707

rather eclectic mix of cars you've had and on your mind so not really comparable. best bet is to do as you mention and just test drive them and see which you prefer.

welcome and great little story about your acquisition that!
