After a brief disappointing spell of owning a Megane R26 I thought id get something completely different ! With currently not needing a vehicle for any particular purpose i decided to buy a bit of a toy for the Winter. Started looking at the usual Discoveries, Shoguns ect, and then started...
I knew it wouldn't be long before i was back in a Renault Sport. Managed ,after a bit of searching and driving some truly terrible examples, to pick up this Black Megane R26. Its had all the correct history at all the correct times and has some very nice upgrades like the Single mass flywheel...

My PMS breather plate is letting coolant through into the Oil catch tank making a nice Mayo. Its a 172 engine so the original breather vented out the far LHS. Iv sealed all the obvious points that separate the large hole to the cams. No coolant is making its way into the block. I can see 2...

After nearly 4 years of ownership I'm finally calling this car "Finished". Been through some tough times and some really great times. All the bits iv wanted to do are done mechanical and cosmetically. There will obviously be the general maintenance bits that need doing in the future, Cambelt...
Had @VIICarCare carry out full correction on my Petrol Blue, results speak for themselves.
In the sun walking round the car it really shows off the change in colour. Hard to show it in pictures without editing them massively. Over the moon with how its turned out.
Please view the pictures on...

So after seeing a post on Facebook some poor guy opened up his filler flap it it came off of the car because the metal had rotted away i decided to check mine. Found some slight bubbling near the top most bolt on the flap.
With wanting to keep the PB as mint as possible i decided to treat...
Hi guys.
First off, Sorry there has been so little activity on the South Coast in the past year. Having no car for the majority of 2016 really didn't help.
No confirmed meets just yet. Just wanting to gauge what you guy would like?? Personally when the weather is a bit better id like to...
So Sunday i headed up to Silverstone to meet up with @Daniel, his mate Sam and Sam's brother George. Sam was running his Storm Grey Clio, awesome car with a hell of a lot of time spent on it. ITB's, AST coilers, fully welded cage, Proper track spec.
Dan had told me there were Porsche's and...
Any recommendations for a V6 filter. Mine is as old as when JMS where knocking about so its time to change it :)
Also does anyone know the size of pipe and filter needed for the breather on the back of the engine ? Mines gone walkies ???

So last weekend Myself, @Fletcher and @TimR26 visited the Ring, The other two had been twice before but for me it was my first time. Very enjoyable time was had by all, no major problems to report of other than Fletcher's suspected misfire and Tim's exhaust hanger snapping off. The whole place...
So yes...... With wanting a little run around to tide me over until the Petrol Blue is back up and running. Was on the look out for something cheap, quick, and something i could either break for parts or sell on easily when the time came. This popped up on Thursday for £900 with a bit of...
Another amazing day at Goodwood. Some proper Motorsport happening right on my doorstep :) Great mix of cars as usual, the escort boys were out in force this time round. Shame the original BDA engine'd MK1 wasn't there but some of the mk2 more than made up for that. Two Michelotto 308 GTB...
Again a brilliant show put on buy the guys at ORS. Great mix of cars and a great atmosphere around the show. Only a few photos from me mainly of the track action.
Full album here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/100444154@N05/albums/72157655304827614
Had a meet up with some of the guys on the South Coast lastnight. Was another decent turnout, 12 cars i think. Good to chat with the new guys over a Glazed Raspberry, then got back outside to get the pictures.
Went with Pete and Fletch in the Angry Wasp to see all the cool kids with there kool cars..... Was a decent show actually, not a fan of most of them but some are very nice.
Rest of the album is here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/100444154@N05/sets/72157654606286911
Had a very successful Micks Monster Burger meet up last night. A massive massive thank you to everyone that made it, it was good to see we can still pull the number together for the area . Keep your eyes out for the next one ;)
Following on form this last year http://www.cliosport.net/threads/wales-trip-2014.739322/ Some of us guys on the South Coast decided we would do another trip into Wales for some epic roads this year. Again the weekend was planned by @Tim. with some altercations to the route. Cheers again mate...
Has anybody taken apart a front bumper ? Do they come apart, ie the actual front shell away from all the black plastic that holds the bumper in place.
After my Dukes of Hazard incident iv know that the bumper wasn't 100% and yesterday when i knocked it slightly on a curb it looks like...
Thanks to @TimR26 for organising the day and also a thanks to the Clioport admin team for there help. It was a great day out, a nice mix of cars and some good action on track. Here's my pictures but please feel free to add your own.
Some pictures of today's gathering at Goodwood. Some very nice fast cars about today. The original BDA engines in the white and red MK1 Escorts sounded sexual.
Album here.
