looks the nuts mate, love the fascia install

So today I set about making a screen for the internal heater matrix as I got pulled up for not having one at the last scrutineering check. Made it up out of some ali sheet, pretty basic but job, but thats done now and another job ticked off the list.

There you go Martin you have a Clio fwiend :)

Hopefully all expect Mallroy and Pembury mainly due to work and distance. Im actually working on the Truxton event but had so much fun last time Im ready for seconds. Also my rev limiter was only working correctly on 2 events last season, so be good to be trouble free this season (touch wood).

Makes absolutely no difference at all mate as the car is already built, in fact it would cost me a lot more to make the car race ready for Production Plus, example, I would need a new electric accelerator pedal with associated wiring, inlet manifold complete, throttle body and all associated...

Bring on being skint

2016 UPDATE Not had much time this year to do much work on the car but managed to get some spanner time in this week, so not a great update but managed to do the following. Fluid change (engine and box) Brake pad check/deglaze All spherical bearings checked/cleaned brake callipers pistons...

P was sending me pics today...his all excited like a virgin in a p**n shop.....you have done him good Russ. So how much quicker per lap do you think this will be compared to his old 172? Hopefully the confidence in a well put together car will give him that edge.

Lucky you caught it in time! It could be the alternator moving due to not being done up correctly (even thought the tension bolt is tensioned up)..talking from experience.

2:16 for me last year.

A C63 I drive in 2008 had it, also the hazards automatically came on and seatbelt self tentioned... Pretty good actually.

Yea bit on the fence with the calendar at the mo, but can see its a pain as the 2 most northern tracks arnt on there. Will you be doing Pembury? Cant wait to see you race in the Prod class tbh after seeing you race in class A. Im also been thinking about changing to Production Plus... But we...

Wow that some weight but absolutely no flex which is good hey. Russ are you going to be racing in your Production class clio if it wont be hired out?

Great pics as always

Nice one Russ, what was the weight of the cage out of curiosity and is that a 8 point?

Looks spot on... If i was being OCD i would put a 10min shim on the Rear Right, bring it out to 3min toe out :)

Have you got the leads in the right firing order? Numbers are on the coilpack, cylinders start at Flywheel end (C1@flywheel).

Ohh I say Martin....

Why the PMS over the BMS? Is there much difference thought they was the same design. On the topic of shifter, I love the standard Clio one, think its perfect.

so your missing the new spacer then, I would order a new one and dont reuse the old one, im guessing that's the old one as pics are small. Without this spacer you will damage the bearings/stub axle

I have removed the dash bar as well. There are three metal home made brackets bolted to the original earthing bolt points, these are then bolted to the dash, and one tied to the steering column, the back of the dash has the standard 3 torx25 bolts at the back as well. Its very sturdy and is firm.

Black will be a heat magnet...also it does smell for a good few weeks afterwards.

nice one, just as that pic only had the locating points. Funnily I have to fit HANS ppsts to my old Bell...pita..more money

Nice one, did you buy HANS posts for your helmet? as its now a requirement for circuit racing (im guessing you aware).

Yea not bad, dont think the pics do it justice though. but more than ok for a race car.

Car looks great with those silver mirrors, reminds me of the brushed aluminium Audi RS type.

ok mate, looks good, I used a paint brush a tin of Hammerrite....

great pics Martin, shame I couldn't pop down to get stuck in

Is that a spray gun job?

NO worries any time. Great build and coming on nicely.
