Great read mate, cant believe it took you 20+ track days to realise that the Audi was not really an appropriate track car, bet it cost an absolute fortune in consumables. Subscribed :up:

I'd start with front camber at the max you can achieve on bolts and your coilovers, and toe around -0.12 (toe out) then bushes for the rear beam and inner and outer front arb, as well as steering rack bushes. Maybe some better pads unless you're happy with the 2500's? Camber shims will make a...

I've ran the system dry twice now changing the abs pump, and both times managed to get the air out the system by going out and firing the abs on grass, returning and re-bleeding, took around 2-3 re-bleeds each time but does work, but as above it's a painful laborious task.

Yeah as above don't drain the system, more so the abs pump as it can be a pain if you get air in it.

I was in the same boat mate and luckily a MSV rear cage came up, Ktec do a similar one now but it's quite expensive.

I wouldn't get a show cage, if track driving or any driving for that matter as in a big accident they could potentially be more harmful than helpful. Don't budget on safety equipment.

Ahh get you, yeah the slider will allow you to be seated further back.

Think you can get extended sliders mate, or just fit side mounts without the runners and set in the position you want.

Mine does it mate if I don't heel and toe matching the revs on down shift into 3rd, mine also does it on up shifts and to combat this I keep my foot on the gas slightly, not great on the clutch as it rides slightly but doesn't crunch on fast changes. If like mine your gear box is due a rebuild.

haha, only a year old this time, wont get stung by that again, lol.

No worries mate, wanted to burn these out myself at Blyton in the AM then put the new Avons on for the PM, but looks like i'll have to get the Avons fitted before now that the tyre guy isn't attending Saturday.

I'll have 2 r888's with about 2mm of tread on the outside of the tyre, inside is bald but would be fine for Oulton on the fronts...

I should have legal tread left on my front track wheels mate as I'm fitting new tyres to them, so you can use them to drive home and pass me them back once you've got tyres fitted to yours.

Just text the guy at tyres2drive and he is not attending the CSF on the Saturday, but will be there Sunday he thinks.

I'll just be wanting 2 x 15" track tyres fitting around dinner.

Works for me mate, my mate in the van may disagree though, lol.

Where are we gonna meet?

If you're not loving the Clio at the minute, maybe try and get down to your local track to reignite your love for it.

Hell no! Mod the Clio.

Looks a great example, these are really growing on me. Might look at replacing the FF with one in the future.

Then its defo overdue, no biggie then, just pull the shaft out once drained.

When was the box oil last changed? Have you tried heat on the hub?

Might just have to drain it mate if its that seized, mine just fell out the hub when I changed my rings.

Don't forget your wellies :frowning:

Suppose it would be OK if the belts had been done recently, I'd personally hold out for a 172 cup or 182 FF if I had £2k to spend. Also ask what brand the coilovers are, if budget like v-max or similar ask for money off as they're gash and would need replacing with OE or a better brand.

@Nik any updates on the mobile tyre fitter? Need to get tyres fitted if not available on the day...

Get yourself a F-super diagnostic tool from ebay, paid around £12 for mine and its brilliant. They're the same as what Ford use to run diagnostics but rip off versions and a quarter of the price of a single session from Ford.

Very interested, been searching high and low for a tyre centre nearby but they're just not local enough to get there and back without missing dinner or track time.

Goodyear F1s Michelin PS3/4 Rainsport 3s

Yep ds2500s depending on which code then they need filling before fitting.
