Defo mate. Just need to sort a few things with it and bergs gotta sort his track whip out too and we'll sort it out mate.

How is your yellow weapon?

Ooooo what has berg brought ?

yeah she is all good, still pushing the limits on her. Its just hard to get close to the limits of it on the road. I need to get the Geo sorted, not quite as I want yet but will get it sorted. I might start a new RR thread on here actually.

More importantly i cant wait to see what you do to this little beast, eagerly await more progress pics

So some goodies I've ordered

First I ordered a prima racing race exhaust mount, as I know these are common to fail a lot.

This is a standard one

And this is the one on my clio



4 rusty sockets and lots of cable ties lol

Anyway more bits

Whiteline rear ARB





Carbon Fibre fuel pump cover





OMP steering boss and airbag light kit



Sun strip and TRS steering wheel cover when not being used (I've ordered a pretty rare wheel so wanna protect it)



OMP rear upper strut brace



Vibra technics engine mount

Pure MotorSport solid Strut top mounts and strut brace kit. Amazing quality just like the shifter, I'll be ordering a lot from them









Just awaiting few more bits then can make a big push to get it mot'd in a few weeks.

Spend few hours on the clio this weekend.

Strip the front end down



To find it's had a bump once in its life, nothing to bad just bend the corner of the crash bar.



Removed some stuff







Then started to fit my new engine mounts

Old ones off





Quick pic of the new dephaser and timing belt



New gearbox mount



New engine mount

[Chambers_CUPRA]

More parts turned up today

GAZ coilovers



Adjustable



Camber adjusting bolts

Snap off boss, I've had a few sorts and had problems with most of them so thought if pay out proper money for one and fingers crossed there's no play.
