First of the Blyton vids, just a few clips from my first session following a nicely prepared 197. :smile:

Clio is playing support car this weekend as we're at Cadwell in the slow MX5. When you've only got 87bhp you need all the help you can get... Fit like a glove, and the parcel shelf went down! You wouldn't get those in a GT3!! 😂

Pics from Blyton...

I bought a set already done but they were done by Edge Automotive. Think they cost about £750. :up:

A little late with the update as I was hopeful of having the track pictures but they've not landed yet... Blyton Park // 08.04.2017 I booked an afternoon at Blyton with Mazda on Track to test the water with the Clio. The MoT days are well run and tend to have better than average driving...

I was delighted to get a text from Mr. Snappy saying my steering wheel was done today, so I popped around right away and picked it up. I got straight to fitting it, using the how to as a guide. I expected the airbag to be a bit of a struggle and it took a bit of persistence but not a...

Today was the big day for the little Clio... First impressions on the drive home are super positive!! :grin: Much bigger difference than I had anticipated, I had been a little worried that I was looking forward to it a bit too much and there wouldn't be any real difference. The main job was...

Couple of quick lunchtime jobs... New torque arm insert to replace the incorrectly fitted or rather partially fitted effort by the previous owner. Before: After: Much better! No wonder the manifold flexi went... :rage: Then I replaced the rain seal on the driver's side: I then applied...

Enjoying having a bit of light after work in the evening to tinker, will be even better when the clocks go back. :smiley: Latest small jobs, the first very small one was taken from Shuv's thread that I was reading through. More prevention than cure on mine I think as I've never noticed a...

Back on topic and I now have all my bits to get the brakes ready for track action! Experienced some, erm, budget creep on the pads! In the end I couldn't convince myself that any of the track options wouldn't squeal so I've just gone for a good track pad that I can swap back to OEM Pagids...

I have switched insurance to Greenlight given that it's being modified. Also have the option of track cover with them so I've booked Blyton on the 8th April for the first outing, can't wait! :grimacing:

Got the bulbs fitted, indicators make a nice difference and the light is vastly improved on unlit roads! 😌

Drove the BM soon after the Clio the other day on unlit roads. Ordered new bulbs soon after!! Should look a bit nicer too!! :smiley:

For anyone interested, a vid I popped together of our shakedown at Blyton in Dan (brother's) VX220: In case anyone notices, Dan's helmet strap isn't fastened in one of the clips. It wasn't a deliberate thing, we're normally very safety conscious.

The MX2000 will be awesome once it's working Paul, I've got a misfire at high revs that's proving very tricky to find so I ha net used it since the charger went on! 😢 The Clio is providing a lovely distraction in the meantime though!
