Awesome, great write up and glad it was an overall good weekend! I was looking into the 182 Championship before and remember you replied saying you were planning to enter, so good to see how it went! My plans changed and I've ended up with a 197, so looking at the 750MC Hot Hatch series now...

Well, I'm finally in the 197 club! I've got a 182 that I'm selling to my Dad next week, and picked up a 197 yesterday. Very happy with it so far; Milltek exhaust, H&R springs, Cup spoiler, few other little bits. Can't wait to get it on track!

Well, when I said ‘closest track’ I meant closest on the Tricolore Trophy calendar, it’s still a good 50-60 miles away! Not too bad still though. What series are you looking at?

Yeah I imagine there's a lot going on. Sounds good, maybe see if we can catch up after Silverstone! Had a look and it looks a great series for a beginner. Unfortunately Cadwell is way too far for a day out, but Mallory or Donington are much more local! Would be good to pop up to one of those.

Sounds like you took a similar route to the one I'm looking at then, as I'll be planning to take my ARDS then join in a championship, however next year rather than this year. I'll keep a keen eye on your thread, and see if I can get down to Silverstone to see how a fellow CS member gets on!

Hi guys, does anyone on here race in the 750 Motor Club championship for the 182? I'm looking to go racing next year and would love the chance to pop down to a race meeting and have a chat or something with someone already competing! Thanks a lot in advance.

Good effort! Like a good transformation. Makes you realise how much wider the 1*2's are over standard though when you see the original wheels without spacers in there!

Thanks, it's a small thing but it makes a huge difference to the look of the car. I had the help of a mate who's done it before, and it probably took a couple of hours to do both. We didn't rush it or anything because it can be easy to mess it up and then it's difficult to fix!

After sorting out the headlights and giving the exterior a bit of a freshen up, I took advantage of the nice weather and went for a little drive around the Cotswolds! Whilst out I met up with a guy I know in a face-lifted GT86, so decided to take a few quick photos of two awesome drivers...

Small update but a huge difference, I finally got around to ordering the 3M headlights restoration kit and what a massive improvement! Before: After:

Yeah the Sabelt Renault Sport one is nice! I wanted that one but couldn't really justify the extra just for the branding. The OMP one is great and I'd definitely recommend it, seems to be wearing fairly well too.

I think it was about 130ish including the boss, and I made a little back from selling that on. I still have the original so tempted to get it re-trimmed at some point, but as it's not a daily driver it seems a bit pointless!

It's an OMP Targa in suede, 330mm I believe, which seems to be the sweet spot. I also spent a bit more on an Oreca boss as the OMP one it came with was causing problems with the steering angle sensor, as it doesn't have the little tabs necessary to slot into it. Oreca one seems better made...

Mammoth update time! So, since the last update in October 2014 there's not been a whole lot to report...it's mostly been given run-outs at weekends and kept ticking over, and at one point I even considered selling it. However, it's such a brilliant car and drives so well (even compared to my...

First off, sorry for getting peoples hopes up...it's still not being made, but it visited work earlier this week so I had to get some photos of it up close and personal! Ignore the bow, I think it was supposed to represent its visit being our present 😂

Seeing as there's a few people from around Gloucestershire on here, anyone know someone who'd be good to fit a cat-back exhaust? They don't need to supply, just fit...cheers lads!

Haha, considering i'm cleaning it every weekend normally, I do weirdly enjoy just leaving it as long as possible in the winter...

Looks great, really like the colour! Need to get my photos up, I've only had it since April! Been looking at the KTR induction kit, so good to hear a positive review. Always a bit sceptical about these things, sometimes they seem to have a negative effect if anything...

I prefer to think of it as 'rally car chic'. Definitely need to clean the plate off though 🙈

Thanks for your suggestions! Stupidly I didn't think of doing a PRAM or SMC reset, despite doing them numerous times trying to sort out my MacBook when I fitted the new battery! So far, after two test boots, it hasn't displayed any glitching, and theres less hang in the progress of the loading...

I see a white 200 with Cup spoiler and black wheels in Tewkesbury all the time! I've driven past in my EDC several times though and not been 'spotted', so guess they're not on here... but if anyone sees me about, give us a wave! Can't be many white EDC's around these parts...

Hi guys, I've got a late 2015 27" iMac (specs below) Recently I've been seeing a 'glitch' kind of effect on the startup screen, which I got a quick video of (below). Also, does anyone else think it boots quite slowly? It's got the 1TB Fusion Drive with 911mb free. I may be spoilt by the new...

Haha, well I don't fancy trying to remove it the same way those guys do! Thanks again mate.

Thanks very much! I found an eBay auction for a mk4 R.S. bumper, and from the photos of the back it does indeed look like it is just clips on. I don't suppose you know of any particular technique, or just carefully prize it off?

I know the 200 EDC hasn't got the biggest following yet so no idea if anyone will have any experience with this, but the silver front 'blade' on mine had an altercation with a small rock being flicked up and scraping it up. I'd planned to turn it gloss black anyway so now's my chance, however I...

haha, it is ridiculous! I've replaced all mounts, plus the backbox ones are powerflex. everything seems as straight as possible, so only thing i can see is bending the hangars! Let me know how you get on, and if you find a solution. mines still wonky :laughing:

I've had mine about 3 months, and I love it. For reference, my previous car was a new Fiesta ST, and I have a 182 track day car. I currently commute about 70 miles a day on A/B-roads in it, and it's perfect for that. It has improved build quality, a more refined and comfortable ride (even with...

Intrigued to see what they do with the Trophy then! Sounds like the Akrapovic will be an option like on the Megane, but if it's anything like that it'll be expensive! Unless the Trophy gets a boost again (or discontinued), I can't see it having much more in the way of power, just a few tweaks...

Loved the colour of the mk4, and enjoyed reading about it in PFC. Given me a lot of inspiration! How did you find the Scorpion? Can't find much info about aftermarket exhausts for the EDC, let alone much in the way of video/reviews.

Unfortunately I'm pretty happy with the Yozza otherwise, so replacing it just for the purposes of hoping to fix the alignment seems costly. As bloke said, it's pretty far out so I'm not sure any sort of bodge would work, but other than the backbox hangers, what else affects how it sits? I can't...
