200: Looking for a specialist: East Sussex or London

[wattson]

Hi all. I've bought a 2010 Clio 200 Cup FF on Friday. It seems a looked after car but has a few minor problems that needs to be addressed. I've already talked with Ktec but they're fully booked until August. I want to get the car tip-top and get tracking as soon as possible so I'm looking for a specialist near Brighton or in London. Following work needs to be done:

- Replace thermostat.
- Replace blowing exhaust manifold with an aftermarket / performance one.
- General suspension & steering check and required replacements.
- Fast road / track setup.
- Replace useless xenon conversion with stock system.

If these work out cheap (ie. no replacement required in suspension / steering items) I'd also get a cat-back and induction system installed. Where would you recommend?

Cheers.

i previously used Mark Fish Harlow- Very good/ Very Expensive.
Two Tec in Dartford very good a little to far.

Terry at Two Techs Dartford is who I use. Travel time of an hour but worth it.

Thanks guys. Two Techs sounds good, even closer than KTEC.

The objective is to get the car as fresh and tight as possible. I've just bought a Toyosport manifold to replace the blowing one. Now I'd like to focus on suspension and steering. Previous owner had recently replaced the hub bearings and I've replaced both front springs on Friday as one was found broken at MOT on Thursday. We'll see if anything else (eg. shocks?) requires replacing when car visits Two Techs.

What's the recommended recipe for powerflex replacements? I've read in another topic the following replacements, would you agree or is there anything else you'd like to add? Car will be mainly on the road but will also do track days. I just want to get all replaced and forget about them if possible!

2x Anti Lift Caster
Torque arm bush
Lower engine mount
Gearbox mount

Do these sound about right when the objective is tightening up the car?

Many thanks.

Mike at Rentech in Portsmouth. I don't know how he'd be fixed for creating a fast road / track set up as he doesn't sell parts, but he'd be fine to fit things. All the rest he'd be perfect for.

You'd be better researching castor and camber, tracking set ups on this forum then apply one at a specialist. Set up is all highly subjective though and opening a can of worms.
