    How worn can semi slicks go before you shouldn't use on track?

    I’ve got PS Cup 2’s on at the moment, I’ve do two track days on them and although there is plenty of tread left they have lost a lot of their grip and feel. Guessing it’s how they are used regards heat cycles?

    182 FF Questions

    Cup packs were so cheap you probably have a harder time finding a car without them.

    182 FF Questions

    If I remember correctly the options were, cup chassis pack (think it has a quicker steering rack too?), Cup spoiler pack, Recaro’s (but you lost the leather rear bench), and sat nav. LY and PB were expensive paint options. Trophy is the limited edition model based on a cup car.

    All the Arctic Blue 182's on here...

    Brought one brand new in 2005, artic blue with both cup packs. Sold it in 2010 after 35k miles. Absolutely loved it and regretted selling it ever since ?

    172/182/197/200 for track days?

    Had a 182 ff and loved it on road and track. Got a 200 ff and love it even more! It’s a more grown up package and slightly quicker on track, just not on the straight though.

    Car knocking in reverse.

    Yeah clunk works, brakes seem to have gone a little dead at the top of the travel too. Could this be related?

    Car knocking in reverse.

    Reversing and touch the brakes there is a loud knock from engine/drivers side wheel. Then go forward another knock but more from engine area. Car is driving sweet as, any ideas?

    Alloys Refurbed in Gold

    I’ve got a spare set of Silverstone wheels I was thinking of doing in satin gold. Can you get a pic up of them on the car?

    Nürburgring trip, May 2019?

    I’ve done TF’s laps before but not a full track day. Track days are different format with a lot of faster cars and driver abilities. Happy just to stick with TF laps and maybe some GP sessions.?

    200rs exhaust upgrade!

    Thanks guys, looks like it’s the £1200 akra then ?

    200rs exhaust upgrade!

    I’m sure it’s been discussed before, however I’m after a performance/sound exhaust upgrade in the new year. Think I’m going down the KTR manifold-decat-cat back route, however had a decated Milltek exhaust on my old Clio 182 which was good and is the Akrapovic system worth it? Will be doing...

    Engine temp

    Thanks mate, look into this in the new year. Service and MOT due January anyways.

    Engine temp

    Not sure if it’s an issue but this is the highest my temperature gauge gets after spririted driving. My old 182 all ways went to the middle and never moved. Read something about temp stat not work and leaving the whole cooling system open?

    Mk3 fuel filler doors

    Does anyone know why MK3 Clio’s have a square(ish) fuel filler door cover and RS models have round ones? Just something I’ve noticed.

    Thanks George, car is purely a weekend/track day toy so not worried about comfortable commuting etc. Got a major service with cambelt and all fluids coming soon. Needs new engine mounts but would prefer Powerflex over OE from what I've read and would like to get it all done at the same time.

    Cheers guys, was thinking of getting another set of wheels with more track day biased tyres nearer the time, but now sounds like a must. Are the brakes a week point on the car? Read the standerd set up is pretty good on road and track.
