I had H&R on my 200t and really rated the ride and way it looked on those.

Ended up getting into an impromptu cleaning session on the car. I'm not too prissy with it, I hate cleaning cars and through the winter I do just smash it through the local scratch and spin. This is followed by a spring time touch up and correction with a polisher. Took it to the local car wash early this morning with my own products, mit's and towels just because I couldn't be arsed to get my pressure washer out and setup, that plus I need to drive the car around to the front of the house, blocking the drive.

always comes up well but hard to capture on camera

First track day of the year for the Clio and out to Castle Combe with Javelin. This was my first track day with the meg 280 turbo conversion and it did not disappoint. The car was pretty faultless all day, smashing in lap after lap. The day started foggy and damp, with a delayed start due to visibility. Managed to smash load of laps in whilst it cleared. Had plenty of fun driving around more expensive machinery, understandable as you wouldn't want to end up off track in your expensive Porsche/Lotus/McLaren. By lunch time a dry line had appeared so I swapped on the semi slicks. WOW the grip from these MRFs are amazing, though if you don't have heat in the rears, the car will come around...... Sticky and great once warm though. The brakes (mintex 1166) were lacking initial bite, I think I was in a bit of a situation with them where they need heat to work well but the road brake fluid was getting a little warm. It never failed to pull up, I just didn't like the feel it gave me. Other than loosing 2 wheel centres and needing to replace my near 20 year old sparco clubman helmet, it was a great day. I'm bolloxed but the car is taking a beating and soldiering on

Awesome 🤩

I can’t help but think this deserves a cup spoiler now.

Aaaannd that's your cue to stop thinking!

Cup spoilers are trash!

I dont feel the rest of the car suits them tbh. They seem quite "tall" in my mind.

Car looks great. I do think they need a slightly larger spoiler, but agree the Cup spoiler looks a bit off. I've not seen any aftermarket options either.

I think they could suit an early 172 cup style, duck tail type spoiler, but yeah, not sure its an option from anyone 🤷‍♂️

Jumped back on with the commute today but noticed a metal on metal sound when braking. Got home and whipped the Mintex pads out of the front callipers, they are destroyed, cracked and coming away from the backing...... Threw in my road pads anyway. Jacked the rear to find the NSR with the inner pad completely gone and the outer with loads of life and the OSR binding quite badly 🤦‍♂️



So... order placed for 2 new rear callipers, some Motul 600 fluid and im going to give some PBS pads a shot. Pro Tracks for the rear and some Pro Race for the fronts that i can swap in when needed

Renault in their infinite wisdom decided to stick with TRW calipers despite them being s**t for years

The only way to stop my meganes one from being s**t was to bleed them every year and keep the fluid fresh

 

[Adey.]

Not a bad shout, tbf I believe the ones on there are the originals

I had a smaller cup spoiler on mine, similar to the cup car spoiler on the mk5 clio.
