Yea keep looking at the RS2 as it's a bit more oem and cheaper too. Listened to some YouTube videos and the induction noise is epic too!

Yep got the BTB fitted Friday afternoon, is an awsome exhaust! Exactly what i wanted
You were going to buy this cup? Wasn't aware it was advertised as Adam approached me asking to do a deal with the DCI
he approached me when i was selling the 1.2, almost had a deal but he changed his mind. Im happy with my flamer now tbh!

Ah yea he did say, apparently he thought it was a 16v not an 8v which is why he pulled out.
Gotta love a flamer

Right, a small update and a few changes to the original plans....
Exterior:
Eibach sportline custom springs - ordered
Pure motorsport solid top mounts
Whiteline ARB
172 black insert xenons
Silvervision indicator bulbs
Debadge Renault sport badge
Dewiper
Replace Clio badge with new style 200 badge
Carbon bullets
3/4 front plate - fitted
15mm spacers - to be fitted
Kam racing stud conversion with blue nuts - to be fitted
Interior:
Alcantara roof lining
Sabelt steering wheel
Momo boss
Engine:
TDF remap
BTB stealth exhaust - fitted
Decided I don't want to be spending twice the cars value on big modifications that I won't see a return on, and to save the money for another deposit on a house lol
Obviously if things come up second hand at good prices I could be persuaded as I'm more likely to see the money back when sold on!
Pics to come next weekend once springs, spacers and stud conversion are fitted

Purchased a set of Eibach sportlines with a difference. Copied and pasted from the for sale advert....
The springs were brand new from Ktec, and were proffessionally turned down using molten lead bath and digital gauges for accuracy. They were then re powdercoated in metallic satin silver.
The springs were originally purchased by JamesT87 for his trophy but he upgraded to AST's so thought they would be perfect for my needs.
I'm happy to report that they sit pretty much perfectly for my liking (maybe a little low at the rear, but that is only and excuse to strip the rear and loose some weight!). The ride is a little harder than standard but still perfectly acceptable
Anyway here are a few (dirty) pics from my driveway. As soon as the weather brightens up I will get some more.
Tried to fit the rarerims stud conversion, but fucked it up royally lol so threw them in the bin Not sure it really needs the 15mm spacers I have, any opinions?

Ended up stripping the thread on the nuts and couldn't get the studs to fit properly
Will trial fit the spacers and see what I prefer

Cheers guys
Had a weekend up in Manchester and thought I'd make the most of the roads in the Peak District whilst I was in the area. Drove the Snake Pass from Stockport to Sheffield and the Cat and Fiddle from Macclesfield to Buxton amongst others! Car handled very well. A little bumpier than standard but not unbearable!
Having driven 650 miles in 4 days, it has really made me realise how much I miss having a turbo for low range power! Even the DCI turbo would pull you up to speed on a motorway or round a bend on a back road. Would quite like the cup to have a bit more grunt low down....

did the same on the back of mine with regards to the badges. looks so much better!!

yes the 200 badge just looks a lot more fresh and modern, cleans the boot up.Keep looking at thinking it doesn't look completely straight but I've a spirit level on it and its bang on!
haha i know what you mean. Ive put a spirit level under mine & its fine. I even put abit of masking tape under the old Clio badge to get a straight line.

Got a set of xenons for the 172 cup coming next week and want to correct them before fitting. Where is the best place to buy 1200/1500 grit wet/dry paper from?
Been into Halfords/B&Q etc and they only seem to go down as low as 400/800

Cheers, always preferred the recessed exhaust but now am glad I have a stealth - much cleaner!
