If you do get a replacement engine fitted, just make sure the belts are done on it. Where in the world are you? It's a terrible situation but it's recoverable, and I'd imagine you'll take more of a hit selling as is than you will sourcing and fitting a replacement F4R. All the best

I enquired about a plate in November 2016, they told me they'd confirm when it would go into auction, they didn't and it went in the one that's just finished. I assume nobody placed a bid - I certainly didn't because I didn't know about it. I'll try and get hold of someone to discuss next...

Should arrange a coordinated meet at Queens Square - I'd come down.

You could try contacting Paul at Renault Parts Direct, they might be able to help one way or another.

I thought it was London

Not for me, I just don't see the demand, kudos or cult status when compared to something like a Clio v6, which has all three in abundance. Just because Renault made small volumes that doesn't necessarily make it desirable.

Seriously shiny, looks cracking!!!

Some pictures of a Turini and my 14s for the Eunos:

https://www.citywheelrefurbishment.co.uk/20-wheel-deal I've taken 8-10 sets there over the years but none have ever been damaged or special enough for me to look closely at any repair work so I can't personally comment on that side of things. The quality is a LONG way off a decent paint...

I'm picking up a couple of sets of wheels from city powder coaters tomorrow. For £20 a wheel I can afford to have them done twice a year ;) The downside is their palette is rather limited. I wanted a specific shade of silver. My choice was sparkly or not sparkly. It's for the other weekend...

I believe Brembo Max are the same as HC but grooved, and twice the price. Worth chatting to George at RTR when he returns from his holiday.

Search for "RenaultSport Clio Trophy Club" then request to join. Until your request is approved I don't believe you'll be able to see the post. If you're not on Facebook at all then there's nothing you can do, other than ask someone who is to help you out.

Car covers are bad for your car. But without a garage it's which is the lesser of two evils. I use one to protect mine from tree sap, bird poo and the like. Go into it knowing the risks and you won't be surprised. Mine is a Stormforce cover, worth checking out.

That depends what 'best' means. I'd get in touch with George Snee on Facebook, Cliosport.net or via his website (RoadTrackRaceParts). Let him know your needs and budget and go for his recommendation. I imagine it might be Ferodo DS2500 pads with Brembo HC discs, or even an OEM-spec pad. You...

There's too many other factors to consider. Is 11 or 12 going to make a difference? No. Is 1 or 2 on a 120k mile T on cup shocks? No.

That's Jamie's - a mod on CS (Jesus), but I don't think he's been online for a while. Love his plate

I assumed that included the original bill of sale ;) In all seriousness I'm not sure what demand levels are like for a modified Trophy like this, albeit with things like Vibratechnics mounts and PMS STMs, both of which I'd have no hesitation on putting on mine. Starting price of £7k??

How much money?

No point keeping a car just for the sake of it, especially if it's more hassle than it's worth. If you get no enjoyment from driving (/storing) it then I'd say release it to the market and realise some of the capital to fund the other 8 insurance policies ;) As for value, stick it up for £10k...

Standard is still available from Renault I believe, but expect to pay a 4-figure sum.

Mark Fish is wrong! The camber change has a marked impact on the road - a much sharper and pointier front-end, really incisive and confidence-inspiring, I love it! Doing the limited mileage I do I'm not aware of any cons whatsoever. It's a yes from me.

Also worth considering: Track rods Track rod ends Wishbones Lower ball joints ARB bushes Steering rack bushes I'd drop a line to Renault Parts Direct (Paul), or check out their website.

Use the key in the passenger door?

I used to have the Goodridge Phantom lines (bought from George Snee @ Road Track Race parts (y) ), and now have HEL with the four pots. No qualms with either.

Why?

Personally I love a nice simple clean plate. Gels, pressed plates, italic font (hello 1990) all leave me unmoved, but I certainly wouldn't call gel plates chav.

Personally if I had lots of money and a decent collection of cars this would make a nice addition. For anyone else this car is almost irrelevant - you're not going to get a random punter buying it to do track days and 12k a year commuting, nor are you likely to get a genuine and knowledgeable...

I think it's because when you sell an indicator stalk for £1m there's an awful lot of money to be made ;) I do find it odd that he's still trading, but I guess it's like Jules said, he must be shifting the things he's selling.

Yep, it was the red one I saw!
