    Project Lightweight, Trackday Clio 172

    So just to close this up, I can say, the Clio didn't survive. I've sold most of the parts, still got some for sale, such as the Gripper LSD gearbox, and the engine. I'll post up an add on here at some point, but shipment is bit of an issue, as I'm based in the Netherlands...

    E36 3.0 ITB Race Build

    Amazing thread, just read it all from start to finish over the last couple of days. So you say the cylinderhead you use, are the same on basically al the 6-cylinder E36's? So the 323, 325 and 328 all have the same cylinder head that will flow above 300 hp? That's quite amazing.

    Audi RS4 B8 Avant on track

    But it's not that bad either. A stripped out Clio is also around 60/40.

    I can only think of the tyre and brake wear with all that weight. 😅

    What do you do when you've wrecked your car, and you have no time to fix it? Exactly, you bring the daily. :p I upgraded the brakes a bit with some Ferodo DS2500's. I also bought a set of Bilstein B6 Damptronic shocks with Eibach Pro springs. They arrived yesterday, so they are not fitted...

    Spot weld removal

    Use a centre punch, or drill a small hole (not going through the second skin) before you use this one.

    Thanks Joey. 👍 Time wise, I'm pretty sure I'll not be on track this year anymore. Other projects at home will take up most of my time, and the front end will be quite a project as well. 😉

    I'm definately not an aero specialist, but I can understand why a wing produces downforce, as the air that passes underneath has to make a longer distance, so it speeds up. Higher velocity means lower air pressure. A V6 spoiler to me looks like a big air dam. Surely it will produce downforce...

    So I've decided to fit a wing on the back, to get the back-end a bit more stable. I've looked at BYC and the TrackAero ones, but apart from the price, I don't like how they are mounted to the bootlid, as the forces are not directed straight to the chassis. I've also decided to start on the...

    Today I had a little bit time to take of the body panels, and have a first glance at the damage. When taking of the wheels, I noticed my right wheel had hit the stabilizer bracket, and a small piece of aluminium had been stripped of the inside of the wheel. I don't know if I can still use this...

    Thanks for the positive feedback, and stay tuned. 😉👍

    Well, the initial oversteer wasn't caused by lifting. I might have made it worse by lifting after though, but I can't really remember that. It all happened in a fraction, and by the time I was really aware of the situation, I was just a passenger and it seemed best to me to just hit the brakes.

    The line was really good actually, I hit the Apex on the inside, and was already accelerating to the outside. Don't stop following this thread though. 😉

    Not really sure what I'm going to do, but looks like a reshell.

    I'm okay, mostly gutted about the car.
