No, no was getting at mine being 'just' a 1.8 NA. Going well in the 5.

Just a 1.8 NA 🤨

100% yes, especially in a tin can of a Clio.

If a road car as well i'd go with a 4 point cage, as a 6 point with overhead bars could cause you more damage in a big shunt on the road due to you not wearing helmet. You can get a custom 4 point bolt in with diagonals and harness bar for £500.

Video here from Oulton park last year where there was lots of race cars in attendance, most of which didn't liked to be pushed around by a my Skoda daily. You literally have to rear end some of them to move them aside.

No! You're more likely to end up in the armco backwards as a novice as they'll either pressure you into a mistake or the novice will try and keep pace and bin it.

I'm at Donington Park Friday 28/8. There's racing on that weekend but its the Ferrari challenge cup so doubt these lot will be cheap stakes booking the Friday track day for testing. I always find its the junior teams with kids driving that are the nuisance on track days, mini, ginetta series etc...

They also let race cars/teams onto public track days these days which boils my piss as they're supper aggressive and a lot of them don't adhere to track rules. It seems the teams use the day for practice before a race weekend as a general track day is cheaper than a test day.

IMO its easier to drive on road tyres as for one your going slower and two they are much more forgiving when they let go, giving you much more time to react.

Thing with budget road tyres they limit the time you can have out in track. They wear much, much quicker and with this overheat which makes them greasy and no fun.

Exactly.

I just buy used decent track tyres. Usually get a set for £100-200 in 15".

Check your shocks for leaks and age related wear before buying anything, if they look and feel past it fit some new ones. Fitting sticker tyres to worn shocks will just create even more roll, tyre wear and general unpleasantness. As mentioned a RARB is the best bang for buck mod. I'd also fit...

Not if they last 10 track days.

Run them on my MR2, good for the money (£70 for fronts) but do lack bite, they are consistent in coefficient though. They've lasted for 8 track days.

I must have got 5 track days out of my DS1.11 on the Clio and they still had over half left on them. I also used them on the Octavia VRS and the wear was brilliant on that too. Was gutted when I found out Ferodo dont supply them for the MR2, best pad ive used by far and I've tried a lot of...

Small brake set ups like on the Clio have limits due to the lack of heat dissipation. Even with the best pads available like DS1.11 I would start to get fade after long stints. Track spec rears would help balance the load out as mentioned .

Spray it up with plusgas or wd40 and try again tomorrow. Sure its an open ended 17 maybe 19mm spanner, or just go to Halfords for an adjustable. Little tap with a hammer on the end should loosen it. f**k going the garage to change them.

This^ swap the sensors to see if it makes a difference.

Mine was only spaced at the front seatbelt anchor points. If you cant find big enough spacers you could buy a load of big penny washers. At the rear I didn't have spacers and just used some extra long high tensile bolts, think they were something like 120mm length. Info should be in my 182 FF...

Think you'd be better off with them at the rear, especially if you have an aftermarket RARB?

Made a nice difference to turn in on my MR2 when I neutralized the ARB's via adjustable drop links. They must be set with the suspension loaded, needs to be done on a ramp really.

Is the MX5 a standard 2.0 158hp Mk3? Trying to get my mate to sack of his ep3 for one.

Mine was through work on a salary sacrifice 'green' scheme. Some unbelievable deals on there at the time, the i8 was only £700 all in.

I'd drive this. Had an old Scenic and it drove great for a old french bus. I've only leased one car and that was an BMW i3 when they first come out. £300 a month over 24 months, no deposit, and everything included (insurance, maintenance, servicing, consumables, free charge point at work etc)...

Rainsports 5's are decent. I've got them as wets for my MR2 and they are epic in wet conditions, better than the 3's IMO. Stiffer sidewalls than the 3's as well so don't roll over as much when really pushed. Although like the 3's they don't have as much steering feel compared to other premium...

Standard F30 330d to get those figures? Looking at getting mine done but didn't realise these figures are achievable off just a remap.
