    First proper wash of the year

    Hi guys, As some of you know I’ve had my 172 for nearly 10 years now. Ive owned a couple of cars alongside it, including a bat s**t mental 300bhp Mk5 fiesta. Anyway, I moved that on last year for one reason or another. Replacing it with a beautiful 1 of 9 BMW E36 328i Sport in Santorini Blue...

    Fiesta RS Track Car

    So at the back end of last year I decided to take the Clio 172 off track day duties, I sold some of the track focus parts on, had the paintwork sorted, bought a set of Turini’s. I still had an itch I needed to scratch, trackday. So the hunt was on for a new track day car, I had seen a few...

    Clio 172 Cup

    It’s been a long long time since I last posted on here. Over the past few the car has changed a bit, it’s gone from being a bit of a track toy to now becoming a garage queen. The car got a bit of a facelift back to a more OEM+ look, with some fresh paint too.

    Clio 172 Cup now with 2118's fitted

    Given the car its first proper clean of the year today, weather was perfect for it. Tested out a sample of a new unreleased Angelwax wax today too, which applied beautifully, came off with ease and left a gorgeous crisp finish. Hope the durability and water behaviour lives up to expectation...

    Clio V6 detail

    illiad Clio V6. Firstly, what a car. This weekend has opened my eyes to what a fantastic and beautiful piece of engineering these really are. I had always had my heart set on a M3 next, that's now changed. Secondly, the bit of a right up of what I did etc etc. We started off with a snowy foam...

    Freshly detailed Clio 172 Cup

    May aswell post this here too... A few weeks ago, I gave the Cup a long over due detail. Seeing as spring has arrived I gave the Cup a well deserved detail, I've not done it properly since beginning of Winter. Really pleased with the outcome. Snowfoamed with Frost Drift, Washed with Zaino...

    Engine Bay Tidy Up

    Evening, Been a long time since I've posted on here, but i've spent my Bank Holiday weekend tackling my engine bay. This is what the bay looked like a few months ago, and its been through a few different guises, good and bad over last couple of months. I wasn't particularly happy with any...

    Quick maintenance wash & seal - Frost Armour

    I was going to post this up the other day, but never got round to it. I haven't got any befores, but the car hasn't been proper detailed since end of summer, so I quickly washed with Frost Car Care - Clean shampoo, with more than the recommended consistency. Wheels cleaned with Bilberry &...

    Clio 172 Cup - Sunday Shine

It's already got a couple of layers of Glasur on, but decided to top of with a layer of Illusion and then a misting of the trusty Zaino Z8 Heres the pictures...

    Clean Cup in the evening

    Had a free night tonight, gave the car a quick wipe down and went out and took some photos, struggled to find anywhere decent to take photos and eventually settled on this location (hardly anywhere good for photos around here!!) Comments always welcome. Thanks

    Good Friday Project; Like glass.

    Good morning, Here's a few pictures from a part of the detail I did yesterday. I feel like the car is as clean as I've ever had it. Looks amazing, in my eyes. I'm not completely finished yet, got trims, glass and two wheels / arches to finish. Which will be done this afternoon along with a...

    R14CUP on Track: Cadwell Park

    Did a track day on Saturday at Cadwell. Second time I've been there. Took it reasonably steady in the morning, spent abit of time trying to learn lines and the car abit. In the afternoon I gathered quite a bit of pace and the car felt fantastic, felt really composed, but I found the weak link in...

    Clio 172 Cup Rear Brake problems

    Gents, I have the usual situation with the rear brakes on my cup, i've just fitted new rear braided lines and can't get any fluid to the rear brakes, looks to be the rear compensator seized shut. To me it looks beyond repair tbh, its not good at all. I'm not too bothered particularly if i have...

    Odd indicator issue

    I have today found an odd indicator issue with my 172 cup. The drivers side headlamp indicator doesn't want to work, the bulb isn't blown - I've swapped bulbs and bulb holders over from the NS and still doesn't work right. The indicators flash at normal pace, but the OS one just doesn't work...

    R14CUP on track.

    Yesterday i went to Blyton on a track day with a few others guys from here. Whiteley, Jord etc... Great day, the car performed exceptionally well. I felt so much confident on the limit, it seemed to have so much mechanical grip & i was only running on road tyres. Car performed faultlessly on...

    Yokohama AD08R's

    Gents, I'm looking at getting 4 new tyres for the cup, I am swaying heavily towards AD08R's. I'm wanting them in 205/45/16 fitment. Cheapest place I seem to be able to get them at is through my work @ £107 p/corner. Anybody seen anything cheaper?? Are they worth the premium over a normal road...

    172 Cup & UR197 next to waters edge.

    Me and Linz went out last night and took some photos of my Cup and her new Ultra Red 197. We found an epic location, if only we had a better camera and a tri-pod they'd have been superb!! Anyway, heres the pictures :) Comments appreicated as always, Jamie

    His 'n Hers

    Just a very quick shot once we have got my other halfs new UR 197 home. It's a stunning car - I'm a tad jealous of it! Not sure what the dealership thought when we turned up in my Cup!! I'll get some much better pictures up with time!

    MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?

    Guys, Off the back of the 0% interest offer I'm gonna make the plunge and get a MacBook of some description. What am I going to better off buying? A spec'd up Air or a standard Pro? I won't be using it daily, the iPad is used pretty much solely for Facebook and basic Internet browsing. It's...

    Which new laptop should I buy?

    Guys, Looking at buying a new laptop in the next month or so. I'd love a MBP, but it's just a bit too expensive. I quite like the look of windows 8, I know it'll have it's flaws. Anybody know of any good laptops for around £500-£700? For basic web surfing & playing football manager...

    PX10FLA Clio 200 Black - A616, driven like it's stolen

    Came blasting past me this morning and about another 10 cars, with on coming cars. Pure dangerous and shouldn't be on the road. At least one van had to swerve out of the way from hitting you, maybe more had too that I didn't see. It's not clever to overtake on the outside of a blind corner...
