22/02/2016 So update as its been a while, Dan started work on the car and before he swapped the cams over he checked the timing and as can be seen it was out I could of actually been down around 20 to 30 bhp than I should be, so even after the fitting of the 438's it would feel much...

I have just refreshed all my suspension and it feels fanatic on my 172 cup however I am still keen on getting coilovers as the car is going to be used for track only in the long run, are we sure that it's not worth forking out for £500 coil overs?

09/02/2016 Car picked up and taken to Dan Potter RJ Motorsport to have work carried out, should be ready by Thursday / Friday :)

Yeah he's just down the road from me.

04/02/2016 Well the luck gods where with me yesterday, I swapped over the centre section on the exhaust as with it being straight through was just ridiculously loud when using the car off the track, particularly on the motorway. Anyway took the car for a blast to see what it sounded like and...

27/01/2016 Some snaps from the professional at Rockingham

I don't unfortunately, I not sure if there is a local rolling road near, (Shepton Mallet) Thanks mate :)

No new they are around £600 - http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=4033 these are second hand unsure of milage but they have been checked and are unmarked and have had little use it would seem.

I paid £350 delivered which I think is a pretty good price, so they aren't cheap, 197 cams I think you can get for under £100 but then the gains aren't as much, but with 197 cams and RS2 inlet you can see 195 to 200bhp but thats talking around £1200+

27/01/2016 Well things just got a bit more expensive, purchased a set of 438 Cams :) Will need to mapped but can be mapped on the standard ECU, also going to have them timed up slightly different so that I can see further gains, with my setup and can expect to see around 190 to 195bhp...

Will be booking a spot for the 27th :)

Dan, perhaps you can help me on this one, from the research I have carried out for the 438 cams can you confirm that it timed up as standard? Then it just needs the mapping service that you offer?

17/01/2016 Here is a lap of me later on in the day, once I started to get things all falling together nicely. Rockingham Circuit - Clio 172 Cup - First Track Day - YouTube

Oh ace yeah will check the calendar, but pretty certain I am free that weekend so hopefully will be able to make it as well :) Thanks for letting me know.

No but just checked and with it being a Monday its a bit difficult with work, would need to be a weekend preferably. Also Bedford is 3 hours way from me, so would be another early start.

17/01/2016 Well the weekend is over and what a weekend, on Saturday I couldn't stop grinning. It was an early start from Worcester at 5:15am in order to get to Rockingham with plenty of spare time, which was just as well as there was an accident on the A14 and we where at stand still for over...

15/01/2016 Okay so today I sorted out the battery and since then the immobiliser issues and starting issues have been resolved :) I also paid £6 for the local car cleaning place to power hose and give it a quick clean, once back at home I threw some wax at it. All packed and ready to...

14/01/2016 Go pro mount turned up

13/01/2016 This evening I managed to replace the braided lines over and change the fluid. Trial fitted the cold air feed to the back of the fogs Decat and centre section taken off in order to apply some sealant to stop the slight blow at the join Fitted a suitable washer to...

11/01/2016 So second harness turned up today, all fitted and ready to rock. Decided to buy the Halfords 200 piece tool set as I have been getting bit fed u off having 4/5 different tool boxes all with bits and bobs and for £150 you can't really go wrong especially with a life time warranty...

07/01/2016 Good evening tonight. Replaced the inlets and the gaskets Spark plugs changed, to be honest they looked pretty new but change them anyway Coolant bottle before During After, not a great photo as forgot to get a finished one. On to decat fitting, well what...

06/01/2016 Okay got the other two 50/15 tyres and finally got them fitted today: All loaded up: Lined them up to see what its going to look like Got the passenger side bucket seat in after sourcing another sub frame. All the remains parts in the car to take to mates tomorrow to...

Thanks buddy, really looking forward to fitting the last few bits now and getting it on track.

22/12/2015 Finally had the wheel bearing changed over, the noise was horrific. Had some part worn R888 tyres dropped in toady as well. Three tyres are 55 and two are 50, I have sourced another pair of part worn 50's so I will also keep an eye out for another 55 size, so I have two sets...

17/12/2015 Swapped seats over today so that that slimmer seat is on the drivers side, frustratingly the other seat frame I have is specifically for a drivers side position and not passenger side so I will have to order another one in. This is now for sale for £45 Car booked in next...

14/12/2015 Been a while since the last update, I have managed to source 4 straight 15" F1 OZ's I have had them powder coated at Birmingham City powered coaters for £20 per wheel and the finish is excellent yet again (5th set I have had done now). Colour is really intense but will only be...

16/11/2105 Right few bits and bobs arrived Before: After: Still to fit the de cat, matched inlets and 98Ron map but does go well, hard to beat for under £1500

08/11/2015 Picked up another Club Sport seat £120 instead of £165, it's the smaller size (standard size) but is more smug fit so will swap it over with the current one. The lower sub frames are around £75+ but sorted one for £50 �� I have also purchased an RSTuner as I'm going to put a...

27/10/2015 Got the matched in lets Looking forward to fitting them along with the de-cat, hoping to squeeze a little more bhp and allow it flow better :) Now to find time to fit them.

20/10/2015 Almost forgot, I got a set of PTFE gaskets for the inlets to help minimise heat soak, its all the little thing that I hope mount up to good improvements.
