Loving the progress mate. How have the stub axles been done wrong?

Good updates. Is that spare wheel tied down at all?

White on white. Really looking forward to seeing the wheels on.

Thanks mate! 8kg front and 8kg rear.

Last weekend I took the RB on a track day at Llandow. Noise test at 5250k rpm was 85dbs, that's a note for me more than anything. Considering the work I've done to the Clio, it only dawned on me when I got there that I hadn't touched the brakes. They looked find and were sharp on the road but...

Ever since I bought the second hand steering wheel I regretted it, no amount of cleaning it could bring it back so I bought a new one from Volantech. Some issues with Volantech, took a over a month to arrive but it got here in the end. Feels much nicer in hand. I do have the horn panel but the...

Sounds good. Cant' really comment on response though.

This is a great build credit to you (and with one working wrist). Also mild driveway garage envy. Time to get rid of the gravel though? I've had many a struggle working on cars on gravel. 😂 Question. The upper to lower inlet bolts, that were red. You replaced them, do you have a link to the...

After all of the above bits done I wanted to refresh the suspension components. I had BC coilovers in my previous clio and I rated them. Corner weighted and set up for a mix between fast road and track. It's much improved and more direct. Sunstrip for added racecar.

One from Sunday morning.

Ok, don't remove it in that case. I actually don't own this Clio anymore. Hope the new owner likes magic smoke!

No it was dry when I parked it up, it rained and then I had a fousty smell and it was wet under the passenger seat. Doesn't seem to have done it again since.

When I had the rear spoiler light issue on my silver Clio, I whipped out the worst looking resistor and it worked again?! Honestly. No idea how or why.

How it started and how its going....

Had a good look through this thread yesterday. Can we take a moment to appreciate this..... @GrahamV182 AMAZING

Engine Dynamics are reputable. I'd be contacting them and asking them if they recognise the car, I'm sure they'd be able to say, at the very least what work they did to the car and when.

It then looked like this The shifter and wheel made a huge difference but the seat was just to high and there was quite abit of movement, when braking I was almost sat on the dashboard. So I needed seats... Sourced with Jon Foz mounts. Possibly the best thing a Clio owner can do is...

Not going to start offering this service are you? 👀

Just read this thread. Seeing those rear lights, I feel a sense of cleanliness, like I've had a shower with that minty shower gel. Much better. Good job turning this around.

Bought this about 2 months ago. Can't seem to find anything on Cliosport about it but assume previous owners would be on here.

Following on from the drive shaft I did an oil change and some other maintenance bits. Now most of the general maintenance bits were (are they ever done on a clio?), I decided to make it a bit more mine. I sourced some wheels and tyres. The only issue, they were blue, very blue, almost...

Hope so. I did cover this in one of the Bilethamber products to stop it progressing further. I'm thinking over winter drop it to my chosen body shop and have them sort it properly.

(aaaanndd...) Another thing all my previous Clios have suffered from is the engine block tearing through the inner driver CV boot spraying grease everywhere See where the block has rubbed through the boot Driveshaft out, block grinded back and replaced with a J&R driveshaft (Clio purists...

Forgive me? So I got the Clio home and gave it a strip down Inc the sills, a check over and and oil change. There is some bubbling coming through, something I'll deal with in the future. This is the first clio I've owned with a standard wheel and seating position, jesus, felt like...

I know. When people say "oh you'll regret it", selling a clio, yeah you really will.

Right then... I bought my last 182 off a mate who was going through a bad patch and needed to make some sacrifices. I listed my silver 182 for sale (in a moment of madness) and the mate I bought it off was in a position to buy it back. He was quite emotional and I knew it was the right thing to...

:censored:👀

D Day... Patiently waiting outside And we're up...... Gulp.... Taaadaaaaa.... That'll do pig!

Time to update, not that there's much to update, this thread. Not used the Clio over winter, nor the M3. I acquired a MK4 Golf PD150 to smoke around in. Contemplated selling the Clio briefly. Lack of use and space, meant it was on the chopping block. Quickly came to my senses and built another...
