Fueled but without me in it.

Yeah, mine is only 850kg so I’d struggle to get into class B even with a standard engine and definitely not with my race engine at 230bhp. Unless I ballast it up. We’ve got a calendar meeting in the next few weeks to decide what to do next year but with a couple of 2 hour races on the calendar...

Is that the BRSCC production cup? My car wouldn't qualify as it's a bit too light and modified but Rob's might. That was a new series last year wasn't it? How were the grids?

I think I rember seeing your clio in a photo somewhere and noticed you ran the same number! Not sure what the newcar will look like yet but Rob is keen to continue the black theme even though the new shell is currently grey.

So after a couple of testing sessions over the winter Rob and I embarked on a season of campaigning Darth Vader. Starting at Donington with the CSCC Tin Tops in March. Quali was not ideal with the throttle body failing soon after I went out to start my stint which left us starting 3rd in class...

Only 3 and a half years since I updated this! 😂 Where to start? Following on from that last post, 2021 came to an abrupt pause at the next meeting at Donington when the engine dismantled itself 5 laps in and running in 2nd place. After a rebuild we made it to Silverstone in October to round...

These were Mark Fish's own design solid top mounts. He sold a few some years back. I have a set on my race car that have been on there since I bought it in 2013 and they're still good. Over engineered and excellent quality!

If that’s the same as the one I use the Clio is a snug fit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s on top at that end it will almost certainly be the solenoid seal. Easy job and about £5 on eBay. Definitely try that first because the alternative is a much bigger job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should be ok with 12.1 CR as long as it’s mapped properly, you use good quality rod and main bearings and ARP bolts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes that is possible. Gasket should sort it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, I just needed one as light as possible. The trophy one still needs a light fitting to it. Probably not much difference to be honest though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had 2 over the past few years. Wrapped rather than painted but the quality is certainly good enough for paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with this. I should imagine the Clio will be quite a bit lighter than the Pug. Unfortunately the jumping out of gear is almost certainly box related rather than mount. If you have the budget look to getting a diff fitted during the rebuild. That will be money we’ll spent. Sent from...
