    Whiteline ARB's

    Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.

    Test Drove a Clio 200 (Cup Chassis) today

    Well have to say I'm truely blown away by how good it is compared to my old 197. The steering is sharper, the handling is fantastic, gear box is the best renault gearbox I've experienced so far and the performance is superb. Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh and its deffinately in line...
