Just a random idea, is it worth making a 'birthdays' sub forum in the Pub talk section? As some days half of the threads are wishing someone a happy birthday!
Don't get me wrong..... lets celebrate these strangers birthdays with them...... but lets not take up 50% +++ of the forum!! LULZILLA!
not sure if this has been brought up in another thread, but just caught my eye... Seems like a lot of 'random' named users. Is this a Spam type thing?

Hi all.
Nitron Suspension and K-tec racing are looking for someone to supply thier car to Nitron for a few days for measurements to be taken to allow the design and production of a coilover kit.
K-tec have already supplied an early 200 (so 197 and early 200 suspension), so they need a car...
So noticed in a few threads that certain members enjoy tracking thier cars, but there seems to be some differing opinions on what is essential track day gear.
What do you wear when on track, what do you point and laugh at that others wear, whats your opinion on things?
I personally wear...
we are currently building the Bloodhound SSC world speed record car at my work and the BBC rolled by today and did some filming.
I am the fat dude in the background at 1:25-1:35!!! Putting some finishing touches to the Renault F1 engine components I work on...... claim to fame!! haha
Enjoy...
Went to the 'Ring last weekend, to get one last trip in of the year.
Weather was perfect, peaking at 21 degrees! Autumnal colours were amazing.
It was very busy, with unfortunately a fair few crashes.
I stay at the Foxhole Guest House, and the owner sometimes takes pics, and she was...
Hey guys,
Lets get a pic thread going with any external work you have had done that has changed the appearance of your car from standard.
Whether it be a full respray, some badges painted, a vinyl roof or part done.
I had a quick search online and found these below, so add yours too with a...
Hey guys
What is the widest tyre someone has fitted on a 8 inch wide rim?
I am thinking for my next set of 888's, to try and aid traction, to run a 235/40/17 or even a 245/40/17.
Rolling curcumference is near identical to the standard 215/45/17, so there is no issue there.
Let me...
Hey dude, as requested, a few pics of my header tank setup.
Its kinda hard to get the camera in for a close look.
But k-tec have attached the header tank to the back of the battery box/tray.
they have run one pipe through the battery box, which you can just make out the silver pipe in...
Hey guys
I kinda find it frustrating at times that there is such a limited range of parts available for our cars.
I know there is a small market compared to some marques, so manufacturers may over look us or put us down the list of developmenet.
So, what parts do you wish, or would you...
My storm grey Clio 200.
Standard Spec:
Clio 200 FF

Purchased new in January 2011, over the last 12 months it has seen many road miles, a fair few track miles and has enjoyed the following upgrades:

So a full set of coilovers is out of my budget at the moment.
So am thinking of running a set of lowering springs with my cup dampers (clip 200, 12 months old).
Have read about good results of springs with cup dampers.
What would people recommend out of H&R's or Eibach pro's?
I know...
Hey all, a few quick pics of my new wheels and tyres on my 200.
Bought 2 sets of Cup Racer rims some time ago. 1 set is shod with 888's for track work, and the other set I bought to use on the road. As being 0.5 inch wider than standard cup rims, they look a little beefier.
The Cup Racer...
Hey all
Anyone got an idea of what a low milage (16k ish) Clio 200 engine is worth. Complete with all parts etc?
I would of thought somewhere around £5-600??
Let me know your thoughts!
So, to counter balance the negative comments of true 'petrolheads', here are a few comments I have recieved about my 200 by drivers and passengers at recent track days........
"Does your car have a sequential gearbox, as it seems to change gear very fast"
"Are those the same...
I have various vids of me in my 200 on a few tracks from this year. Filmed using a GoPro HD Hero. Although the sound quality is poor, so edited the vids with music over the top (sorry if you dont like my choices)
Anyways, they can be seen here...
