Makes me feel better. I buy some shite [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah about £6k for a sequential box as well as a load of lightweight parts. You need a bit more safety gear for the modified class as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is no point up here in Scotland. You would move from a competitive clio doing 51-52s at Forrestburn and doune to a class where there are a couple of stinking 205 GTIs doing mid 40s runs. Road class is the way for the clios just now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I agree the DSC is very good. To be honest I rarely switch it off. Mind you I don’t see much point in sliding around on the road. What will be really interesting is how much better the car is on track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can have cup arms. The only restrictions on suspension currently is that you have to retain the same type (strut / double wish bone). You also can’t have rose joints but there has been a change suggested to allow these for next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m in the same boat. Fingers crossed the rose joints go through and hear we come solid too mounts and rose joint bottom arms. Then maybe a roll centre kit next year [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What you doing for a gearbox Dave? I’ve got a spare 182 box that is stuck in 3rd but the casing is good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good Dave. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve not removed mine yet but will be soon. It looks like you have to support the engine from underneath and remove the engine mount completely. Then you can unbolt from behind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You mean the engine harmonic damper? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My mate in the middle of one just now. Started on Friday almost done my Monday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Classic trick from north loop cup. You don’t need to take suspension apart to remove driveshafts if you are removing the big bit in the middle. I do this with classic minis. Lots of people try to lift the engines out with the car on stands and the ball joints split. All you do it lift the...

I get that totally. It’s why I spent money getting a better car as a base to build from. But ultimately the biggest factor will still be me so I’m Just keen to keep improving my own time st every event. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done. Seems like we are in pretty similar positions. I’m competing in the A2 class in Scotland and it’s mainly clios with the odd fiesta (mx5’s have their own single mark class up here as there are so many) I started the year dead last in a standard car. I’m still last but now only 0.4s...

I’ve been waiting for this. Just fitted my M performance exhaust and this would be my next upgrade but I want to wait and see what your experience is like. Also trying to wait for one to come up second hand rather than buy new. But the auto LSD for the 140 is different from the 135 / manual...

Absolutely. And Kames in October. Will you be there? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are careful you can clean the top of the sticky layer off. Just don’t go too far or you will take the “sparkle” off as well. Hard non sport plastics are an easier option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Following. Love an OEM+ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s definitely lighter than a factory cup spoiler. Pretty sure it’s fibreglass with a carbon effect but will only find one when I take it off. Half a mind to paint it RB. Sometimes looks like someone has put a standard black plastic trim on a sport. That’s assuming it is lightweight otherwise...

It is very good. I didn’t see the car before buying. Done everything remote with a Skype call with graham. They way I seen it was I got some major upgrades all in one go. ITBs and cams (210 bhp) on a engine with one 5k miles. Gearbox with a Diff (although the less track focused option with...

Update since my first event last weekend. Unfortunately no in car cottage as new new GoPro failed me. I recorded it in the best quality I could but that meant it’s now unplayable. Any advice before I delete the files would be appreciated. [emoji106] So we have to settle with some photos. First...

And now on to the rest of the upgrades. When I removed the carpets you could see the cage wasn’t designed for motorsport. Probably ok in most road applications but ideally I wanted something that has a harness bar and would keep me safe if the worst happened. Luckily a local guy was breaking...

So here comes the interesting bit. As soon as I purchased the clio. My mind turned to what I might do to the car. It had a load of upgrades vs my old car so the only immediate things were. Do I keep the seats or swap my bucket seats. Answer. Keep the seats. Much more comfortable than the...

Anyone following Graham’s old thread on M100CUP will know the history of this car and that he recently sold it. I thought I would start a thread of my own to update on any changes to the car and record how I’m getting on as a relative newbie to hillclimbs as sprints. Let me start by setting...

And the auto (which the majority are) would be even quicker [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should get along John. Not as much track time as you would get at knockhill but it’s a bit more challenging to go fast on. Competition this Saturday and Sunday if you fancy coming along. Free to spectate, I’ll be competing Sunday only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let me get one started to save spamming Graham’s M100CUP thread [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi mark. Did you ever fit your LSD? I’ve been reading up as I saw one on eBay second hand. Looks like the manual and auto LSDs are different part numbers. Only difference being the gearing as far as I can tell which causes issues with the esp. Just interested to hear first hand if that’s...
