Man, thats an awesome looking Clio, and the scoob aint half bad either.
lovely looking car, good luck.

PS, what strut is that?? replaced my intercooler with big f*** ogg thing and can no longer fit it. Now one like that might be what the doctor ordered.

Was also going to comment on the strut brace - surely that will flex in a longitudinal plane, hence reducing it's effectiveness?

I have no idea about the strut brace or its effectiveness. It was on the car when I bought it. The sticker says Juran, but I have never heard of them. Must have been added in Japan.

You could have reduced your running costs (petrol anyway) by dumping the dump valve and replacing it with the chavless original recirculating BOV.

No knobby, "psssssst" when doing 10mph in Sainbury's carpark and save a packet on fuel! Everyones a winner!

So far the computer tells me that I will get well over 300 miles in the clio. I was getting 150 in the scoob. Something tells me the dump valve would not have made much difference to my petrol costs! Still, I know what you're saying.

And yes its anohter silver car. I wanted Monaco blue, but this one was a minter as you can see.
