Another pic I found online from the other weeks track day. Really happy with the wat the car looks and goes justnow but struggling to get time out on track with work and other commitments

Two have 3mm across tread , two have closer to 2mm in the center and 3 at sides.

Or maybe the set of 6 OZf1's

Going be moving house soon so need to shift a few sets of my spare wheels Got these sparco cromodora with 888's £350 And these 6.5X15 wheels now fitted with Maragoni semi slicks , not sure on the make but they are light £120

Yip think the cone started up half way up duffel it just took a side swipe by my corner , wasn't till i went back out with Stu I noticed it was still lying on track.

Had the car out on track last week and had a bit of a knocking noise coming from under the car so need to look into that. Also spun and collecting a cone adding a small dent to the back 1/4 so need to nick that out. The pic above was stole from Stu who I sold the car to a few years ago he...

I would think the excessive build up of paint/powdercoat on the wheel has more to do with them coming loose than thread length, at 7 turns you should have fairly decent engagement. You can see in the pic the way the nut has dug into the paint on the wheel, that should ideally be a metal to metal...

When my old engine was mapped on cams and boddies the standard injectors were at 100% IDC with the car making 209bhp.

Im in Africa still for a couple of weeks , I have spaces on the SLS track sessions and Mikes track night booked up already. Tempted to book on the rev limits night on the 20th with the R8 aswell if I can get insurance sorted.

After the cars first track outing Ive got the bug again so hope to get 2 or 3 days booked up for next time Im home . There is a full day open pit , so may try to get booked on for that so I can try and get some much needed seat time and also mess about with suspension settings. I also picked up...

This is mine after some recent changes.

Did my first trackday last week since fitting the engine with group N timing and efi map . I was impressed with the power delivery , and low down torque out of tight corners. Has anyone ran group N timing with a turbo ?? As im planning on going turbo later in the year , would I be better to go...

Few pics from yesterday’s track day, was fun to be back out on track. With the car not having the extra power any more to hide my mistakes I’m really going to have to learn to drive it harder

The clio is loaded and ready to go tomorrow Also got the front splitter fitted to its big brother, and gave it a coat of the new BMD show wax

My clutch and flywheel turned up today , thanks Russ I have my first trackday booked for this Sunday. It’s short 15 min sessions so ideal to give the car a shakedown. I will then decide if it’s worth fitting the clutch and a refurbd gearbox or wait until I fit the turbo engine later in the year.

It was on a DynoJet dyne so will be different to the readings the SLS guys have been getting at RA , we did pull my old engines graph it was 205atw on the same dyno, and was 190+ at Performance HQ . Would guess this would be closer to 155atw on the RA dyno

Had the car on a friends dyno this morning to check the fueling. The engine was mapped by efi in Frasers car with group n timing, I have a 182 manifold and different exhaust but fueling still seems to be safe. If I was planning on running this engine long term I would take it back to efi for...

Got loaded up this morning and headed to ALM for alignment. Up on the ramp and corner weighting done came in at 901kg with 1/4 tank and both seats in. Then it was time to get the strings out for alignment. All done loaded up ready for home , got some rainsports fitted to spare wheels...

Couple more small jobs done today after I uncovered the car. Engine bay cleaned up Carbon covers fitted to the cage where it would get rubbed getting in and out Sun strip fitted Also a little mod to the Audi , front splitter should be here for that next week as well.

Nice results John both in power and weight. What spec engine are you now running ?

Will do . Like you say in a track car it doesn't matter but I know how annoying a rattly clutch can be in a road car.

Few more parts soon to be added to the "budget blown" pile , helix clutch and lightweight flywheel . Will probably fit these after a few track days along with some arp rod bolts and flywheel bolts. After seeing the results Bloke got with the group N timing , Im looking forward to trying...

Top work John , the FD change in the box really makes them perfect for Knockhill.

The notes were put there buy Stu when he had the car, handy spanner sizes for quick checks at track. I will try and clean up the windows if I can get them half decent they will do.

As Craig says above I still have the clips under the screen which helps also make sure you have the clip fitted under the hinge as this helps as well, the panel still flexes but the pulls will work, in an emergency if the marshal brakes the panel then that's the least of my worries :fearscream...

Looking forward to getting my car out on track now , as the engine I just fitted (Frasers old one ) has group N timing and efi map. Im just hoping there was enough fuel in the map to compensate for any changes caused by my different exhaust.

Looking for the best product or method for cleaning the poly windows in my track car , they are showing signs of age and also have glue marks from previous decals/numbers. I did think scratch X on the DA but wasn't sure if it would burn easily.

I’ve had a couple on my clio , this was off of eBay and based on the mk3 Renault livery. Was cheap at around £200 and looked ok. This was custom costing about £400
