    172/182 vs modern hot hatches. On track....

    You need to think about their road tyres aswell. They will over heat aswell as their brake pads as they arent made for flat out lap after lap trackdays. I'm assuming you have been on quite a few trackdays and know how your car drives and that you have some form of track brake pads to take the...

    Proline Motorsport Brake Line kits.

    So on the cup master cylinder the 2 smaller ports which are closest to the bulkhead go to your left and right front brakes, the larger ports to the front are the rears but you need to blank one of the larger front ports off Also check you servo as you master cylinder needs to seal properly onto it

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    Next I took it to work and cleaned every inch from top to bottom, inside and out including all the underside and wheel arches. Cleaned up pretty well but as you can see the breather on the rocker cover is just venting free with no pipes or catch tank attached so I bought the PMS one.

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    So I got the car home and had a good look around it to see what I had actually just bought. I could then see there was a few bits missing Belts looked tired And it had a golf cart battery

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    So I managed to get hold of some of the build pre my ownership. The car was owned by a local lad who destroyed the bearings in the dephaser and killed the origional engine. So he bought the car as the lad couldnt afford to fix it and turned it into a track car

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    So... I have been on C.S.net for a few years now and never really posted much other than asking advice or sharing what I know or have learnt from here or whilst working on the cars. I had owned a clio previous to owning a mk2, a white 1.8 valve which I loved. I paid £300 for it. The rear arches...

    The only benefit to using proline is he uses clear shrink wrap on the to keep them clean and tidy and he has the crimping tool for the ends.

    Proline Motorsport Brake Line kits.

    If you are removing the abs unit, split the ecu part from it with the 6 small bolts as you need this part to keep your speedo working. You need to keep both from abs sensors aswell. I was under the impression you only needed 1 but having driven down the road and the speed only registering half...

    Big gay wings, do they really work on track?

    There you go, evidence that they do work... and that they will rip your car apart if not securely fixed

    does anyone else have power steering off?

    Just change to epas its so much easier. Clears loads of shite out if the engine bay and you dont have to worry about oil pissing everywhere potentially setting on fire if it gets as far as the exhaust or your pump seizing up with the lack of oil in it which in turn throws your alternator belt...

    does anyone else have power steering off?

    I tried my epas turned right down at Croft and it was like driving a GoKart. You've always got pressure against your forearms and your grip starts to ache after 15/20 minutes. I have mine set some where between 1/4 and 1/3 assistance. I watched your latest race video in the wet and your...

    Clio being driven like a dick at Croft

    I was at Croft when that car was there. 26.8.19 on a circuit days track day. it wasnt fast in a straight line so I would guess it's not blown or charged. Also wasnt fast in the corners either so I'm guessing the guy who he let drive it was one of his chav m8's. They all had the Newcastle to...

    Big gay wings, do they really work on track?

    Anyone on here ever done the flat floor? Thing is your trading power to weight ratios with cornering down force. If you had a 300-350bhp per ton clio then I can understand the extra down force required as you have the power to use it at higher speeds.

    Liquid Yellow Repair

    If the corrosion goes behind the screen you need the screen out because it will most definitely be behind the screen aswell. Most corrosion in that area is from a screen previously being fitted and damaging the paint leaving it to start rusting rather than using the window primer to cover any...

    Use a BSI approved bodyshop. Top of their game and because they are kitemarked like a builder or joiner they have to do things properly and the repairs and paint perfect.
