    The car did do ok. It giving in after four steady laps in the wet pissed me off but it wasn’t a hard fix. I just didn’t gel with it.

    That kit car wasn’t fun though, just scary... My first kit car was a laugh though with only 150bhp. I think I’m a RWD boy though, FWD just seems a bit blunted.

    172 with the Cat connection in the twatty place.

    Well...... Today wasn’t a total waste of time. 60 laps done. Half a tank used. My two mates got a drive of it too. Issue with it was the rear exhaust hanger breaking, the movement then causing the cat to manifold joint to open and bugger the gasket ring. Cable ties and some exhaust paste...

    I wish it was. Sadly I had nothing to do with the building of this!

    Cats fucked and the manifold join has come apart. Done 4 laps.

    Accuweather doesn’t look too bad so I’m only taking the Dunlops.

    I’ve packed the cameras but I’ll see how the car gets on first. Might do a bit in the afternoon.

    Not touched the shifter as I couldn’t be arsed to take the cat off to get at it. All it’s had is the joints lubed up. The shift issue is a synchro and not a miss alignment. You can feel the graunch and resistance on any shift above around 4k. Lucky most tracks are 3rd upwards so it’ll be fine.

    Just been through Cubs thread and the box was refurbed the grand total of 6000 miles ago. Part of the box refurb was the synchro on 3rd! Renault boxes do not last well!

    I’ve been looking at Sadev’s. I’ll run this box for the mean time and just nurse it.

    Yeah, even a half pace change gets you a crunch!

    Knackered synchro by the feel of it. Might try some posh gearbox oil in there to see if that helps.

    First day of using it. First impressions: It doesn’t like going into 3rd gear It’s set up very twitchy Front wheel drive isn’t very exciting It’s kinda quick Seats are comfy It doesn’t sound super charged It’s rides quite well for AST’s Brakes are really good Dunlop’s don’t like the cold

    Set about the PMS tonight. After realising what an utter f**k taking it off and repressing the bearing would be. I decided to try to lube the thing up as all the joints were dry. 70% improvement straight away. So I’ll save the bearing till another day. Probably when I fit a Sport cat.

    Got sorted with Greenlight in the end.

    New bearing for the PMS is here. Will try to get that on this weekend. Also I found some push button quick release clips that I'll use to make the bumper removable. I'll need to fix the splitter back on too!

    What R3K said. They are the same for M3’s. Will try Sky and Brent tomorrow.

    I will be, but it’s nice to test stuff on the road every now and again. Paying over £600 for cover with 5 track days is a joke. The Westie with 5 trackdays was £310 with garanteed value of £20k on the car with a £1000 excess. Sadly the provider for that won’t cover Clio’s!

    Who do you all use? Mines quite modified with a super charger etc. Flux quoted £350 but now won’t honour it due to me wanting to add track days on. Green light could do sub £400 if I’d owned the car for more than a year which makes no sense! I don’t really want to pay more than my main car...

    Already ordered a new bearing as it pissed me off when packing it of the trailer! Next job will be making the bumper quick release so I can take it on an off rather than bringing a forest worth of wood with me to get it off the trailer!

    He’s called Simon from NI, the rotrex is mounted high, tight to the inlet, that clears the SF with only a small notch.
