Progress is slow at the moment but after what feels like forever i have a small update.. Cup spoiler!
I decided to go for the ebay cup spoiler copy mainly because i prefer the smooth end plates. Originally i was going to spray the whole spoiler white but after placing my scoop on the roof i...

So unfortunately on my last track day at snetterton we weren't allowed helmet mounted cameras, I didn't want to waste time trying to mount the go pro so I didn't get any footage. On that session I was struggling to stay in the seat so I decided it was time to get a bucket seat and take things a...
So, i haven't posted in a while, mainly because I've been busy and not a lot has changed with the car. I had a slight issue with my clutch pipe randomly popping of the slave cylinder so i ended up with a mixture of brake fluids and probably moisture in the system giving me a crappy feeling...
thanks!
Yes, went to a meet in royston but it was pretty boring, few nice renaults and a lovely twin turbo supra though! this was on the way back to bedford
manifold was the first part on the exhaust i changed, there was a slight increase in the flat spot but nothing too bad, it would...
thanks mate, sounds great, lots of pops and bangs but it is pretty loud considering it is the resonated system, i do have a toyosports decat mani and decat pipe as well so it would be quieter with both cats still in
The Clio has had a few treats since my last update,
New callipers, feroddo ds2500 pads, new discs, braided lines and fuch fluid.
New Clio 200 gearbox as my old box completely destroyed itself by sh*tting a synchro 4 days before it was booked in to be rebuilt.
Usual service bits and bobs, new...
A few weeks ago i had the car set up by Sean at jade developments and they done a fantastic job, handles beautifully and far better than standard.. we discussed how often i will be on track and the fact its still a daily and i left with it sitting like so.
it has about 20mm of rake, the rears...
thanks! i used some autoglym wheel seal (spray) and some cheapo mad cow wheel wax after and it seems to be doing the job well so far, they get filthy but most of the brake dust rinses off and what ever is left wipes off.. i guess ill just have to keep on top of them!
You can sort of see how...
I fitted my spax with simos top mounts an gave it a clean using snow foam, some autoglym shampoo and a clay mitt (fantastic bit of kit!), didn't get time to polish and wax her so that's a job for next weekends clean!
and one of how shes changed since i first bought her 3 months ago, its...
Fitted my decat pipe this week.. lots of pops! love it!
My coil overs and top mount bearings were delivered this week
all assembled with simos top mounts ready to be fitted, hopefully over the weekend, if not next weekend.
Thanks! .. i weren't a fan of white cars until i seen this! manifold is a toyosports mani, i got it from ebay for about £230 if i remember correctly, its been pretty decent and had no issues with it so far, aside from it hitting the subframe but that was due to worn mounts, i replaced them with...
Been mega busy with work lately but heres a few updates...
picked these up last week ... they are simos topmounts... just need to order some coilovers now, should probably happen in the next month or two, think i will go with spax as i had them on my last car and they were brilliant and the few...

the video isn't great, in person it pops and crakkles more/louder.
The manifold was knocking of my subframe a lot thanks to worn engine mounts so i replaced my upper...
dan looked after me and saved me a lot of money on my non sport, hes a top bloke, and i will probably go back to him at some point when for some bits on the new car, just a shame hes so difficult to get hold of, with that being said when we were fitting a few bits last year sometime we gave him...
differebt style, in had my stanced/show ish car, I had a drift car, and ill probably make this one a bit more track orientated and get some track days booked soon
I was trying to get hold of him all last week as well to get some work done but his phone just went straight to voicemail, he commented on one of my posts on renault uk fb page though so he is still about somewhere.
Yes it is a toyosports mate, I payed £230 for it and I'm pretty pleased with it so far! Few people on the 197 forums have them as well and they seem to be pleased with it.
Yes its a straight swap, although it knocks the subframe unless you put a new lower gearbox mount in or put a small 5-10mm...
I finally upgraded from my non sport a couple of weeks ago, her replacement? a lovely gw 197 cup! very pleased with it!
my old car
i sold the wheels and coilovers this weekend and now shes looking a bit sorry for herself waiting for new struts.
anyway onto the new car..
gave it a...
Thanks, will try get some good pictures of it soon.
That is exactly what I intend to make it look like, I've had picture of those cup racers and r3 cars on my phone for the past year or so lol.
I decided to take a gamble and order a toyo sports manifold, reviews on 197net seem to suggest it's...
I will start a build thread when I get going, I've developed a blow in the flexi pipes, hopefully get that fixed soon, toying with the idea of buying a toyosport manifold but seems too cheap to be any good
