Ask yourself first, whats the problem ? If you find your car being too oversteer / understeer / lacking stability mid corner or in certain specific situation I'd go for resolving the issue so you can feel confident in the car and build up experience from there. If nothing is amiss and as you...

It's all about how far you want to take it, and how far your budget goes I guess. One of the maddest things I've seen is a "Venturi Tunnel". This means: Behind the rear seats you create a tunnel from the floor to the boot which will, while driving, use the drag / low pressure area behind the...

Another popular technique btw (and a lot prettier) is to use Balsawood to make the shape desired and then cover it with Carbon (and wear-bars)... Light, strong, not flappy due to the Balsa core and "fairly" sturdy. Although, again, if you're going to be riding curbs like your in the BTCC, its...

Nigel's front airdam: and @Goodj I think you overestimate the strength to weight ratio of plywood (unless your having a laugh... Internet does not convey sarcasm.) a 1CM thick piece of ply covering the front of the car and giving an airdam / Splitter lip weighs in at ... a total of what 5...

Tbh, plywood is a "modern" material, lightweight, strong & cheap, easely replaceable (since splitters & airdams WILL take a hefty beating when you venture off-track / onto curbs) ... Makes total sense to me. Only thing I've seen done is add metal "wear bars" to the underside of the splitter so...

Don't know if he's ever been TUV inspected at the ring but ... He's from the UK so don't think he's really worrying about that.

yhea, why not ? not 3milimeters thick off course but probably more like 1Cm or such but ... it IS a composite afterall and pretty sturdy to boot ...

look up "nige" or nigel's MK2 Golf on northloop.co.uk for instance. He runs a custom front airdam & splitter from plywood and a DIY rear diffuser. The practicallity will probably be a bit foregone but then again, if you worry about practicallity what are you doing considering a front airdam /...

I can understand your reluctance for the RS Tuner because as you say, you don't see a dyno-print. However, many have gone before you, on this forum and others, and have confirmed it to be a working tool. If you are in doubt, go to a RR after the mapping ? Keep in mind though, every engine is...

Regards, even though I (no longer) own a clio decided to become member (paying) a month or so ago since you guys have a lot of good info & group buys going on (NLC's hubs for one :) ). Chip & NLC prompted me to do a introduction so here goes: I started off with a Clio MK1 "Grand Prix" as it...
