I am picking up a 197 R27 this week and the bolster on the squab (back rest) has worn through completely. I have read that some people have had them replaced under warranty, but has anyone been able to get the covers from Renault to repair them?

I agree with you, hence this topic. If I can build on the knowledge of people who know what they are on about (such as you), I can skip out several steps :clap: Then tailor the set up to my requirements.

The company name has nothing to do with finding out a decent spec for a track clio which is what this topic is about

The parts he supplies aren't Clio specific. Any specific parts will probably be bought/supplies through BTM cos they are top guys

Why does it? A friend says he would like to go in on a track car with me, which we can also use to promote his business? There are loads of track/clubman race cars out there with own/friends business names on. All going well he should be getting something slightly exotic which will be branded...

Why does it matter. I don't want to disclose the company name until the project begins

Their prices are good, they aim to always have the lowest prices, but will price match if they don't.

I stripped my other car due to not being able to afford 2 cars while at uni. When Im in a proper job, this plan will come alive. The company supplies vital parts, stuff that everyone has suggested

The car will be mine, I will be putting most of the money into it. My friend will be putting some money into it and also supplying the parts he sells for a living. So its a fun track car for the 2 of us, which will also be stickered up with his company names/logos on so it gets the company...

I think the popularity of 888's is due mainly down to availability. Plus you always see them for sale used too

PM'd

Maybe the title is a little misleading, I just know there is the 'must have' lists for every car to improve it from standard.

A pair in black, with side mounts for £275. Weigh approx 8kg each. I can get you prices on direct fit subframes too

Bingo! If I wanted a Civic Type R, I would be on Civic forums asking what I needed to make a decent spec, but I'm not really a fan of them.

Why do you see so many Clios on track days then?

Yours goes well from the vid, some good lines from the looks of it too. I have some Bimarcos available ;)

Yeah, there is some confusion. R888s are fine in the wet, but aquaplane very easily on standing water/puddles

Why?

Those bits will all get done anyway :), Im talking more in terms of upgrades

So the list I'm compiling now stands at; AST Coilovers with solid top mounts Pure Motorsport rose jointed wishbones Rear ARB - Whiteline? Wheels, probably Team Dynamics Pro Race 3's Tyres, R888s Cage, I like the look of the Safety Devices mulitpoint bolt in, except the A bars (dash dodger)...

Anyway as I said earlier, the project is not about making money. Its about building a decent spec track toy. So far I getting the jist of AST's with solid top mounts Quaife diff Cams and mapping, should see near on 200bhp? What bolt in cages are available? Seen the OMP Poly bushes - just...

Im talking purely about part prices, you will never make back labour costs unless you are building Porsches or GT3 race cars

I won't be buying a car already done. Built right, you won't loose much money come resale (if your bothered about that). But a major part of the purpose of the car will be the advertising/media side for my friends company, so the build pictures create more traffic, etc. Plus I will never buy...

Budget would be around 5-10k including the car purchase

Cup racer is out the window at those prices, plus I like the building. Bare in mind, I will be able to get a lot of parts at trade price, plus all tax can be claimed back ;)

How much can cup racers be bought for? Car would probably need to be road legal though How much are proflex dampers?

Yup, a mate has his own company so would be used in all his media, stickered up with the company logos etc in return I get lots of parts for free

Also any links to good track builds would be nice

I will be more than likely getting a Clio as my next track car, already got offers of sponsorships coming in to supply some parts but I want to make up a list of 'must haves' to make an epic track car. So CS, what is the 'must have' list for a track car? Also which 172/182 model to pick?

You posted in mine :rasp: Edit, I have also been here for longer than you so double :rasp::rasp:
