182 Fake Racing/ Track car

Out with the old clutch and in with new one…



Found a slight issue with the old oem clutch





New helix motorsport organic clutch going in…







Cake and clutches… what a night. New clutch isn’t too heavy either so let’s see how this goes.

It’s been a while. New clutch in, then the wheel bearing went. Does mean the Clio has been chilling too much this year. Hope we can get out a fair bit now on track.

All fixed today, back on the road. The Advocult Motorsport splitter was re-fitted.



Got a bit carried away, cleaned/ polished the headlights, cleaned and ceramic coated the car, then wrapped the bonnet as I was fed up of the primer grey.






Whilst the colour was just what we had, it looks much tidier now and ready for the next track day.

Just needs to wheels aligning now.

Looks about 45deg toe out 😂

little upgrade for the interior, new Sparco belts.

Quick drive out, such a fun toy:

This car is insane fun.

Performed amazingly all day. One of the best days on track.

Only job will be to change the camber on the front as the current bolt was limited it. Caused some understeer that I didn’t really want! Anglesey track killed the front tyres, but mint day!!



Slight moment:




Insane day for it:




Oh dear:

Great thread, enjoyable read! Can I ask what brembo brake kit you have on there and where you got it from? I've got a track clio on the same black team dynamics 15's. Stripped with cage. It's got Carbon Lorraine CL5's and braided lines but that's it at the moment. They are good but want more. Like at the top of the hill on the back straight at Angelsey just don't have enough confidence to stamp late.

It’s a Megane kit on mine, the calipers are machined a little (about 5mm) to make them just clear on the wheels.

Honestly… Vs normal Clio brakes the difference isn’t huge, just find them a little more consistent on longer runs, plus the weight saving is a positive!!

I’ve generally always used Ferodo Ds1.11, can’t complain to the power of them
