I went yesterday, It was well good :-) Lots of nice cars, I took many, many pics but the lighting was really weird - either mega too bright and white, or not enough, and not really anything in between. And then there were the crowds of people getting in the way and of course, as I was in a...
Some of you will have read this thread I put up a month or so ago:
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=338339
I put a link to the pics in the thread, but never got round to putting any pics into the write up. I've since added a few more pics, and thought I'd just pop a few...
Just spotted these on Ebay -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270258934414
Whatcha all think they'd look like on a 197? They'd need thinner tyres if course, maybe what 215/35/18? But I think they'd look sweet - they appear to have been painted black with a yellow or...
Mac only so far, and it doesn't unlock the 3G, just jailbreaks it so you can install 3rd party apps.
But for the 2g iPhones, you can now upgrade to 2.0 and unlock/jailbreak without doing any crazy roll back stuff!

Info/links to download all there :)
Saw my first 197 on the optional Raider wheels today. It was a black one, just like this on here - http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk8/wuffin_2008/PICT0003.jpg - which I found with a forum search, and here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=295781&highlight=white+197 that I...
Saw these over on Clio197.net, and I thought people here might appreciate them. I had a good look around and couldn't see that they'd already been posted before :)
Personally, I quite like it, I like the idea of the black and red together, and also I realise this won't be a...
My mate texted me the next day and said he'd found this for me :D

Mk2 V6 Review on Dave now
Just different from the Top Gear review - this is Tiff in the Mk2 V6 on Fifth Gear. Shows some Mk1 footage and Tiff's comments too :)

My R27 has a sticker on the window saying I have this - Google then showed me this -
http://www.fortron.co.uk/Fortronweb_files/page0006.htm
Which looks to be a similar logo. My car hadn't been washed by me till today (I know, I know, almost two weeks - but I haven't had a chance!). Anyway...
For my impending trip abroad and to the ring, I think I need a spare set of bulbs in the car - is there anywhere I can get a 'bulb kit' that has a spare of each type of bulb in my car? I know halfords do them but they don't seem to do one for my car :(
Can anyone help? Should I try the...
I'm considering whether I need a K-Tec exhaust, sports cat, K-Tec ITG Maxogen induction kit and K-Tec (or RSTuning) remap.
Now according to the K-Tec site (http://www.k-tecracing.com/catalogue.asp?app=Clio%20197) , and this has all been dyno proven apparently, the K-Tec exhaust is worth 7bhp...
Where is the best place to get this? I was about to order from K-Tec when I noticed the postage they wanted was eight quid - And one of my pet peaves (mainly from years as an eBayer) is people over charging for post! It's just a random personal principal heh, if there's no where else I'll of...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't stand iTunes on Windows. Google shows me a few solutions, not many for the touch though, mainly for the normal ipods. Looking for some recommendations as to the best way from peoples experiences though? Heard of Floola - seems a good option, anyone...
Is this a dealer fit thing? Will they have a clue what I'm talking about if I go in and ask for it? How much coins am I looking at?
Just to clarify for me - it gives me an Aux in point basically in my glovebox - which I can plug an iPod into and I'll be able to control the iPod with my...
What does the Mk3 come with - as my R27 just has a jack space. I want a jack though, and the towing eye, and whatever else fits in there. Anyone know if these are the same as the Mk2 items, and how much they are from Renault?
Cheers

Not my auction, just noticed it and thought some people might be interested - crap title not mentioning the Recaros so they might go for a good price.

Had a kind of, impromptu hot hatch meet today with a few friends. Four little cars with very similar performance, and four totally different ways of making power and doing the 'hot hatch'.
No, unfortunately we didn't do any 'testing' to check performance heh.
Full set of photos are here -...
It's awesome :) Drove it reasonably gentle on the way home - just to get used to it, and have been out for a nice blast now to get really acquainted with it ;)
One question though to other R27/Cup suspension people - how does yours handle the bumps? I found a couple of times if I was booting...
Well today was both sad, and happy, sad, because the Vee went to it's new home :( But I'm sure it's a good home. And then I went to view a replacement, and slapped down a deposit to collect it in a week. It's getting 2 new front tyres (I made sure they were to be OE spec) and a small scratch...
Hopefully going to see an R27 tmrw, having had a search so far I have -
Crunchy gearbox (what gears is this likely between for people that have had new boxes?).
Working A/C on full boar.
Worn Recaros.
Anything else specific to the 197/R27 I need to look out for aside from the usual 2nd hand...
I was, frankly, stunned. Running V-Power, reset at my house before i left, drove to St James Hosp. in Leeds, about 65/70 miles - including going through the traffic in Leeds, but mainly A-Road and dual carriageway all down the A64. Cruising at 60-65 on the A Roads (it was quite busy, a few...
A few pics of my mates new Corsa VXR which I had a shot in at the weekend. It's got the bluetooth, which syncs with your phone and lets you control it from the steering wheel, phonebook and all, which is darn cool heh! Drives nice, good in gear power, seems to grip well but feels a bit figedty...
Morning chaps/chapesses,
For many, rather unfortunate reasons regarding me and being really ill, I keep having to go to hospital in Leeds - about 65 miles away. This is of course, not something I want to do in the vee because it's putting miles on it for no fun, I don't like parking it at St...
