Aloha from OCAU
and OzRS
Tell me about it, Clios here are over 2x as much as in the UK.
I want to drop it a tiiiiny bit more at the front, I'm talking like 1-1.5cm.
Cheers.
Black Gold Trophy
Very nice mate!
I have to say aussie plates arent the best looking are they?

Where else is the sub supposed to go? :rasp:
Surprisingly not! I tried it, but the natural light worked better. The 3rd image is though.
Well you can't have them

Looks hot Daniel, great photos
Looks tidy, nice colour
Thanks! I wish I got anything but silver though, it's the most boring colour.
Next time I post a photo in this thread, it'll be of some tasty Wilwoods fitted to the car
So some updates:
Had the Wilwoods fitted about a month ago. Consists of the Wilwood 4 piston Dynapro caliper, Pagid RS4-2 Blue pads (custom made) and KTR braided lines. Had them out on the track and they were flawless!
Had an proper wheel balancing and alignment done, cost a pretty penny... but it was well worth it. Running about -2.66 degrees camber at the front and +3.36 degrees castor. To say that it feels like it handles on rails is an understatement.
Also fitted some Osram Diadem indicator bulbs front and rear
Also fitted the KTR Group N upper engine mount about 3 months ago. Tomorrow I'm expecting delivery of the uprated powerflex bushes for the twisted dogbone mount and the KTR Group N gearbox mount
Went to a track day at Winton Raceway about a month ago - had an absolute BLAST. Car held up beautifully and didn't disappoint. Absolutely loved it. Here's a short vid of my fastest lap of the day:

Nice Vid Daniel, new engine seems strong. Brakes look hot also. Have you noticed much of an improvement in stopping feel?

Superb. It's great to see them on the other side of the world.
Out of interest, what's the dealer network like over there for Renaultsport?

Ive asked this before and i cant remember the answer but how do these cope with warmer temperatures? Are they're oil regulators or something to keep them cooler than ours in britain?

Middle-Eastern cars have upgraded cooling from the factory, so maybe they get the same treatment?
And they drive on the correct side of the road, like Japan and the UK.

It's hard to compare as it's not easy to remember. I'd say it's a bit more progressive (there's more bite at the start, but it's even throughout the travel of the pedal).
It's not bad, in Victoria we have 7 Renault dealers. Renault Australia are currently trying to push the RS range very heavily.
I'm not sure if they're modified in any way. I've never read about it, so I'd assume no.
Probationary licence. In Australia, you have your learners licence (where you have to put a yellow L plate on the car) and then you go onto a probationary licence (length depends on the which state you're in) - in my case I have to be on it for 4 years. After that you're on your full licence. There are certain limitations on P platers. No alcohol allowed in your system, no turbos, no V8's, no superchargers. No performance mods... *cough*. I've got another 1.5 years to go =/
Thanks
The V8 Supercars are quite good to watch actually - always some crashing and overtaking going on. But their road going cars... nah, wouldn't touch either.
I just don't really like them. Although there are a few I would have if I got given them... I just wouldn't buy any.
The smaller forums tend to be a lot more personal and friendlier I find
Decided to splurge a bit on a few detailing bits from waxit.com.au
Concours 900 Polisher
Lake Country CCC pads (Orange, White, Grey and Blue)
Menzerna Polishes (Final Finish, Power Finish, Power Gloss and Sealing Wax)
P21s 100% Carnauba Wax
She's looking rather sexy now.
I've also got uprated gearshift bushes on their way from the UK. Should improve the shift feel a lot. I know domlebo70 has just fitted this kit and reckons it's fantastic
Also in a months time a mate of mine from NSW will be passing through Melbourne and dropping off an unused bulk kit of Dynamat w/ roller for a good price - hopefully that'll solve my gripe with the slight lack of mid-range from my splits
