This is my daily driver... she's good for a minute and half at Oulton Park's International circuit in Cheshire, UK and returns 38mpg nipping to Sainsbury's for the weekly shop in city centre traffic. I've put a few pictures on here (further down (click them to enlarge them!)) but most of the best pictures, media and information's to be found on my Facebook so feel free to get in touch. All my other stuff's got dull-as-f**k sealed factory RenaultSport computers inside - this is my only 'aftermarket' racer and my one true love!

Putting in a good time with full road trim is where it's at now Stripped out racing is so last year
How do you like the Gaz Golds? Had a set of those on my Corrado and they were very nice indeed.

Re: Renault Clio 1.6 SC "Blue Shed"
they're not too bad for the price (i only get 2 coilies and 2 dampers for mine and a lot of manufacturer's take the p*ss pricing them up as if they were 4 full units). rebound's really good but i find bump a bit poor unless you're really moving. i may've just twiddled my knob wrong there, thoughVR6Turbo wrote:How do you like the Gaz Golds?

I think you forgot to mention the 0-60 and 0-120 times, for which I was really really impressed.
