That's all I want to do with mine. Wondering how you find the b14 compared to oem?

I bought it with them fitted so I dont have a direct comparison but the former owner said they were FAR less crashy and much more compliant.
Personally I think it handles like a dream, I thoroughly enjoy lobbing it into a corner. Its turn in is divine.

Still absolutely loving this little tarmac terror. I hadnt done the brake fluid or gearbox oil since I bought it so... I did those.
Sucked the old fluid out of the reservoir with a home made syringe thing, needs to be thin to get right to the back
RBF 660 and an Eezibleed, no issues really, it all went swimmingly
Old stuff wasnt too bad at all.
Thinking about a Brembo conversion now though. Be rude not to.
Anyway. I digress, dropped the undertray and drained the 'box oil. Fairly simple. Used my pump to pump in the prescribed amount (these aren't fill-till-it-comes-out apparently, though after I filled it I could see the oil level through the hole so its about that level anyway. And if you dont have a pump for filling gearboxes you SO need one. Makes it miles easier. Was about £20 off ebay.
Noticed while I was under the wheel arch theres a bit of a dirt trap around the back of the arch liner.
Even under the sound deadening
Cleaned it all out, must have been half a kilo of crap in there! And damp. Glad Renault have sorted the chassis protection out, 20 years ago and that would have been a hole in the floor by now!

It has, my mate Jason did it, then I paid someone to do it. So twice, at least.

This is so typically Clio...I've literally found naked women wrestling in the mud pits in my old Mk1 arch linings.

Ill have to check the other side now! No doubt thats as bad. And my daughters 2014 0.9.
I think a bit of black duct tape over the lip would probably prevent it.

Anglesey - fab weekend!
Absolutely adore this picture I got on the Saturday evening.
Didnt miss a beat all weekend. Tyres did not appreciate.
We did a bit of tourism on the island Sunday before we came back too (South Stack lighthouse, very interesting, lots of steps down/up!)
