I do love it, grinning from ear to ear everytime im out in it!.. Im working on getting some of my laps from Snetterton uploaded to youtube so will get that on here this weekend.

After Croft I had a bit of time to finish off the lightweight headlight blanks.. I do prefer the look of the std lights but weight saving is king! A nice cheap and easy 3.6kg saving for the car I used a set of std non xenon lights and cut the internals out.

I know what you mean!.. but nope, just my poor bolt checking prior to the track day haha.... I'd had the box off before croft changing the clutch release bearing so disconnected the gearbox linkage. I'm thinking i nipped it up resetting its position but never fully tightened it. Never again though

Yeah I noticed that from the videos too haha... and subsequently tightened up the linkage at gearbox end.. the bolt through the two roller bearings had come loose.

A little vid driving around Croft. I need to sort loading some more videos onto youtube, not limited to 1minute then

Had an interesting moment going into Tower Bend .. He had to drive home on those tyres too ?

Had a couple of really good test days at Croft and Snetterton over the last few weeks Both days we had glorious weather, if not a tad too hot!, track temps in the 40s! We haven’t done many upgrades yet, just been working on setup at each circuit and just learning the tracks and building our...

Hi mate, I don’t think we’ll be upgrading to 4 pots now, I’m pretty happy with the performance of the std calipers really, (were more than capable of locking the wheels, and with adequate cooling don’t suffer any brake fade) .. I know of residual pressure valves, normally used on drum brakes I...

Quaife don’t offer any different final drives as far as I’m aware.. Gripper offer the 3 different versions though.. I’m happy with the gearing we have to be honest, from all the tracks we’ve tested at it works really well.. tbh it’s questionable how much u can actually gain from the small...

Exactly.. gearbox removal isn’t the easiest on these cars, and only half the job!.. then your into splitting the box, to get to the diff, before you can even change the settings/service it. Defo not denying a plated diff offers better performance / adjustability tho.

Yeah we're looking forward to it.. should help a lot!. Once we get our Roll Centre kit made and fitted too it should be a big step up in performance, closer to where we want it to be. From testing our laptimes are pretty close at the min compared to the championship front runners, so these...

I'm 100% sure this is the most asked question on here! ?.. everyone will have their own opinion As @pule333 eluded too my reasoning for going for a Quaife is: Base unit cost, cheaper to run, minimal servicing, not running silly power so don’t need any aggressive locking, smoother operation...

So that’s the standard diff taken out the spare gearbox, and on its way to Quaife for the crownwheel to be removed and pressed onto a freshly built ATB.. looking forward to that delivery!

Your not wrong.. I know this one all too well [emoji6]

@PhillipM, I made the exact same comment on a post on Facebook the other day.. you’ve explained the physics very well [emoji1360]

Haha I agree when they’re not functional, I’ve seen a lot that are just imitation vents with no actual holes in.. functional vents are good (all race cars vent the engine bays) , I’m considering fitting some to ours to help keep the engine bay temps down and help the cooling out, sucking hot air...

There are a few corners +100mph .. Croft -Jim Clark esses, Dono - Craner Curves , Rockingham - Banking ... but we can take them flat with our car so adding aero won’t help (no issue with tyre wear either, which is another benefit of aero loading)... obviously if you’ve got more power you’ll...

Haven’t proof read that so may be utter jibberish lol. It is midnight after all haha

Splitters are great if you can make them rigid enough not to flex under the load they’ll see from driving at +100mph (where they will actually give you some downforce, by creating some high pressure above the splitter) a lot of the splitters I see on clios are just too flexible or too small for...

I enjoy the fact people take inspiration from my build, Ilya has done a great job on the fabrication and made his own spin on everything! [emoji1377]

Always good to see another Clio hitting the track!.. can’t wait to hear it on the rollers.. wanna hear that turbo spooling [emoji6] .. great effort getting it to where it is!

Trimming OEM looms is a piece of cake haha [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

The end is near!.. Looking good [emoji1360] .. I know that feeling to well , where you planning on taking it for it’s shakedown?

Heat shield is looking good mate .. top work with the engine too [emoji1360]

Thanks mate.. how’s your build getting on, much left to do before its debut?

Nice one.. they are proper good quality parts aren’t they! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, booked in with circuit days for this one.. had a mix of all the organisers this year.. Javelin days tend to be mad busy!

Thanks for all the comments guys!.. I’m now wondering what it would sound like without the centre silencer! [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That noise just doesn't get old for me!

Its been a few weeks since we took the Clio up to Oulton!.. and wow what a circuit.. Completely different to Donington. A lot more technical, bumpy and narrow, but just as enjoyable!. We could really start to see the strengths and weaknesses of the car too, which was very useful and what our...
