How come your wireless AA didnt work? Mines ok. Takes longer to boot up when starting the car, compared to my golf but all works fine.
I went for wired, as it charges the phone and connects to Android Auto
you would be quicker charging from a duel or even like I have a 5 multi port from the 12volt port in the passengers foot well mine has two super fast charging USB ports and 3 plug in ports for your accessory’s all have on off switchers and lights up the passenger foot well … ![]()
Mot prep. New adjustable drop links as the IL motorsport ones started knocking after Curborough.
New discs, but pads are still on back order! Been waiting 3 months for rp1.
Chucked some old mintex fast road pads in for now.
New droplinks are ‘roadnutz’ from spring loaded in Devon. Worth a punt for 50 quid. Polyurethane boots, chunkier ball joints and bodies. Also seem to have good customer service and replace components if wear Within 3 years.
Another year ownership and a service/MOT at my favourite ever main dealer - Oakmere Mazda in Northwich.
Finally these Rp1 pads turned up. Took months.
Got a few days coming up, so made sure they were in and all OK while I had a free weekend. Wasn’t sure they’d fit as I was told mx5/abarth specific pads are 13.5mm rather than the 15mm the clio pads come with. Assumed I’d got away with it before as the discs were older/worn, but these discs are new, so not the case.
So for anyone who cares, clio 200 brembo pads fit perfectly ![]()

Yeah Astmoor. He’s top dog for mapping, don’t think he does these, but he’s done my ep3 civic and megane r26 previously. Been going yonks, super well known especially in Renault circles.
A winner - @exiled-viking
Got back from efi yesterday and it measured 184.9 bhp and 154.5 lbs ft of torque.
3 consistent pulls so shows the map is good. Afr also looking good.
First proper track day since the FD swap and Remap. The upper revs are so much more usable now. Expensive but worth doing for sure.
Multiple heavy downpours all day. So I put my ps5 tyres on. Managed to get a couple of dry hours late AM.
You’re missing the carpet mat set

Did something awry happen to the ND that the interior came from?
Sounds like it had a front end corner impact as only one of the brembos was available.
