Looks lovely, nice garage as well. Jealous!

Finally got to show the Cup some love this morning. First time it's been cleaned in about a month, forgot just how good this colour is! Nice before and after :smile:

Awesome, turbo flutter is addictive!

No prob, iphone microphone isn't too great I know the video is really quiet for some reason. I am leaning towards taking the car, once new year holidays are over and I can get away from work for an hour or so.

Those doors are hideous, surely you'd just feel like a knob getting in and out every time?

Haha, not sure why it's playing videos from that playlist. I've got another video for you, may be a bit more useful. I've tried filming whilst driving (naughty naughty) but the car is just too loud you can't pick it up (induction kit & stripped out). Please turn the sound up. Could maybe...

Try again now lads, made the video public. Steve, I can’t double check right now, but I’m pretty sure the noise remains in every gear, including 5th gear once letting off the accelerator and decelerating. What were you thinking?

I'm heading towards clutch/release bearing? Gear changes still feel slick though, and the clutch isn't slipping. God knows

Hi guys, Some of you may know that after a fair bit of work my Clio finally passed it's MOT a few days back. Well, that happiness and relief has been short-lived, as the Clio has decided to stab me in the back and throw this one at me In fairness that video makes it sound worse than it...

Thanks guys, now I can focus on some modifications, soon enough! Definite requirements... -Stealth Exhaust -Rear ARB -Powerflex front ARB bushes

Awesome work dude, wish I could drive the Transfagarasan, very lucky!

The bump steer correction kit looks ace! Awesome photos throughout the thread, and I've subscribed on youtube as well :up:

Here's an idea... Before you spend another penny on that car (including fuel), get some spacers or wider wheels on it. Rear bumper and wing look great but completely ruined by the wheels which sit about 7 feet inwards Bit harsh, but yeah lose the lights and the stickers as well...

Never guess it'd done all of those miles, paintwork looks fantastic!

Boom The little Clio has cost me a fair few hours of pain and misery over Christmas, but I believe I've saved at least £200 doing it myself, so happy days. Now it's got a full MOT the price has trebled I'm afraid, yours now for £150

So the Cup failed the re-test:disappointed: Apparently the n/s caliper is now showing almost no effort whatsoever, still causing an imbalance. One thing I didn't check was the rear compensator, will have a look tomorrow to see if that can solve the situation, maybe there is no fluid getting to...

Thanks man. That's good news, now there hub & bearing are on and torqued up there shouldn't be any issues, hopefully, but good to know for the future :) Typical eh! Getting there slowly

I built my old 106 Gti track as a complete novice car using nothing but a Haynes manual and the internet. As long as you do your homework, be thorough and aren’t afraid to ask questions you’ll be fine mate. (Then again, 106s are held together by about 3 bolts and some pritt-stick, so a bit...

Also, just cause I haven't got anything else on with the damn car... one of my front headlight bulbs has gone now. Wtf is going on! Read they're a bit of a pain to swap without taking front bumper off (which I can't be arsed with) so really looking forward to that.

Yes I've heard that, my point was I've also gone OEM upfront as well - would have upgraded but funds just won't allow it. They should do a pretty decent job anyway being brembo! I did consider this, I really hope not. Anyway, the disc is on, it's done now. Hopefully won't cause me any...

Few things to update on this one! So firstly, the Clio got annihilated on its MOT on Thursday :pensive: Thankfully, a fair few of the failures can be fixed a new set of discs and pads all round. But due to funds it's going to take a while, and with MOT garages closing up for holidays, it likely...

Was it a case of a new compensator? Or would a bit of wd40 and elbow grease sort it? Haven't had a chance to look at mine yet

Lol, no it wasn't creepy, doesn't bother me at all haha - I was just surprised how quickly the fail sheet was uploaded to the gov website

Will do guys!

Nice homework btw, checking the MOT history. In my defence, I asked them to stick the plate on before the test (as I didn't have any tape) - for some reason they decided to completely ignore that and just add it to the failure list - just from that you can tell the MOT tester had it in for me...

Fair point. Hoping that when I come to changing pads tomorrow, I'll push the pistons back into the calliper and will hopefully free them up a bit? Meaning the offside shouldn't bind and therefore balance out both sides? Am I on the right tracks here?

Legend, thanks so much

Took my Cup in for it's dreaded MOT today, and surprise surprise, it failed- on quite a few things. I know this one has been mentioned a few times across this forum *Brakes imbalanced across rear axle* It's also failed on worn rear discs, so I'm obviously going to get these changed along with...

I noticed that, giving me anxiety thinking about it lol

Dark red? A bit 'out there' but worth a shout.
