Who here owns a Renaultsport?

i love tunnels

My Clio might be up for sale soon.

Some of the ones being advertised with cams and other mods are just too tempting so might yet again swap one Clio for another...

Skeeter · 31 Jan 2012 at 14:40

Better the devil you know.

I have been tempted to swap mine for a different one many times, but the fear of buying a lemon puts me off.

However, I did notice that the Michael Woodford Motorsport Turbo phase 1 is for sale. I met the guys who run it at Bedford, and its **** of a shovel quick. 258bhp from a 197 top end and a turbo!

I know but have seen a couple on CS I really like and the members seem sound. Only going to swap if mine sells, if it doesnt then I will keep it.

Seen that and would love something like that, nearly £4k though and with the mechanical knowledge I have buying something like that is silly.

Skeeter · 31 Jan 2012 at 15:14

Yeah. The potential for lol's is only outweighed by the potential for massive explosions!

daveski · 31 Jan 2012 at 15:19

Telling that most people with boosted Clios dont keep them a long time. Cant imagine anyone doing 20k + a year in one either!

zx|muppet · 31 Jan 2012 at 15:28

i know mike quite well

hes always working on my car! but boosted clio for me is just a no no! torque steer anyone?!!

daveski · 31 Jan 2012 at 15:37

I could live with the torque steer as I'd imagine driving one would be funny.

eh? im being a noob here now i think.. what you mean?

Skeeter · 31 Jan 2012 at 16:16

I'm changing my front shocks soon and the bolts look fairly solid. However, I don't really want to have to buy one for the sake of 4 bolts...

zx|muppet · 31 Jan 2012 at 16:16

might have one at home you can borrow

daveski · 31 Jan 2012 at 16:27

No idea. Try machine mart or other tool hire places? I have one you could borrow but obviously am very far away.

ShiWarrior · 31 Jan 2012 at 17:53

Danny, wanna swap?

MikeHiow · 31 Jan 2012 at 18:56

Stop being such a woman and man up

Worst case scenario, just slot a jack handle or something over something you've already got.

I don't have a jack handle, or any other metal pole or anything.

Buy a breaker bar then - this won't be the last time you use it!

Think I might just buy one. They are cheaper on eBay.

Need to know what size the nut is so I know what size drive to get.

I might have met him on the way back from Heathrow, he sat at the traffic lights with his anti-lag on. It certainly shifted and made me look like I was in reverse

Made me grin like a mad man though
