I hope not - is the guy still on here? Thanks matey! Not enough lol Cheers

Hi again everyone. Back in the clio fold with a Cup Packed FF200.

Glad you are happy mate. enjoy :approve:

Totally agree. I was one of the original rallye enthusiats if you like, owning 2 over 10 years. The first is still in the family and is a sprint/hill climb car competing in the standard class, will be 20 years old in 2004. The latter I sold for 'a lot' of money a few years back after...

Needed to sell the cup to fund an every day car for work. Looking at getting a diesel BMW, Audi, Merc etc. Also looking to get a new project but something cheap. Probably go back to a 106 Rallye.

Car sold (in one day!) - sad to see it go, was truely one of the best cars I have owned (once I'd finished with it). Thanks to all for all your comments over the last two years.

Thanks both, much appreciated :D

Car now advertised on the forum and elsewhere. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?528353-Stunning-172-Cup-only-32k-miles-%A34-695-ono Thanks to everyone who looked at this thread and posted positive comments...

The car will be up for sale soon. To everyone who PM'd me over the last few years asking me to let them know when/if the car comes up for sale here is your opportunity to get in touch before I advertise it.

cheers mate

lol, I wish I could mate! ;)

Hi mate, can't remember without measuring but obviously 60 degree taper and think thread length was 22 or 25, pretty standard sizes. cheers mate

You've done well to spot me in it mate, think I've only covered 500 odd miles this year .. doh..

No there not chromed mate, I guess there just very clean! :D

Cutting a long story short I noticed one of the rear shocks had gone last month on a weekend drive. Having a company car and the clio being in hibernation until the better weather I got round to replacing both rears last week. Couple of surprises along the way mind. Someone somewhere along the...

Cleaned up and coated the heads of the locking bolts with Silver Hammerite. Job done.:cool:

Locking wheel bolts are a pain, I just don't over tighten them lol I agree, new wheels can make a huge difference. ;)

Just need to give the locking wheel nuts a quick spray of silver hammerite now to tart them up.

No, not ebay. A colleague of mine works for Rimstock as their chief design engineer. http://www.rimstock.co.uk/rimstockuk/companyprofile.php ...they supply OE fitment to Lotus amongst others. :approve:

Ok, gonna try again tomo with these. :approve:

New correct pitch bolts on order! Can't wait to get them on - nothing worse than nice wheels with crappy looking bolts.:D

Just realised they are the wrong pitch, he's going to try and get the right ones. These look like 1.25 and should be 1.5... I think, need to go measure. :(

bit of an update for anyone interested.. Next up - rear pads. The current ones were still MOT passable but rather than letting them wear any more I thought I'd get them done out the way...and it was a bad decision on such a cold day :o Looked around and I have always used OMP for most of my...

I just use Autoglym engine/machine clean - its water based and safe on all finishes etc, plus you can use it to clean anything else you like, engine bay, sills, interior plastics...even the lawnmower etc...Been using it for years as you cant find many water based cleaning agents that are really...

bargain! well done:approve:

31k now. I clock up around 3-4k a year.

No straight off the phone camera (2MP), just poor levels of colour on the shot, it looked funky so just left it. Only used photoshop to resize it.

Cheers mate mmmm...Someone has prob had a stab at re-aligning them in the past maybe?. They easily get damaged or vandalised. See what you mean, just never noticed until now tbh. I have a new set from Renault ready to go if needed, just can't be bothered yet.

Been out for a spin in the snow and thought a festive shot was in order...Merry Christmas! :)
