Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" There good figures, most i did was 19 laps in 2 days. I never do more than 2 laps back to back between cool downs. All this ring talking is making me want to go again!!!!

Stay in Nurgurg town at the http://www.am-tiergarten.de/ This is where the PistenKlause is, so you can eat steak on a stone until you cant eat no more ;) Iv just put on 2kg in weight after my 6 day trip!!! Added benefit is its only 2 min drive from the entry point for the Ring

the RAC wanted a extra £100 due to my Clio being over 10 years old (by 2 months).

Anyway enough of the doom and gloom...book ya selfs into the PistenKlause restaurant for Steak on a stone.

Looking good Gaz, your girlfriend had balls going out with a instructor at Spa even though she has never even driven the Clio haha Balls of steel award indeed. ;)

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Cheers fella. I actually meant the 4pots are not worth getting unless the power is over 210... However this is just what i have experience with how good the oem callipers are with 205bhp.... Who did your engine work?

I went for the ACW windows and bolted the rears in. I coated the windows in a spray polish that they use on aircraft (name slips me) but costs 30£ a can. I would pay the 60 and get them coated. He does CS discount as well so money saved there will go towards the coating.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Agree TF is a buzz, its only the number of closures per day that makes it a PITA. However iv not done a closed day and would love to do the full circuit.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Oh most defiantly. I will look at trying the blues out at some point.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Hmmm my ds2500 dont squeal as i used oem shims with them. Road going pagids are std on the on the RS 4 and the earlier pads lead to damage on the discs due to the pins scoring the disc, after this i chose the da2500, and i kind of stuck with them since...

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Ahh ok, i know few who run pagid blues on their RS4s and came close to getting them but found a love for 2500s however i do like to experiment so would try the Pagids at some point.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" With our group we always go to the Ring for TF in April time ( around Easter) an do TF and Spa in October. I will give you a shout when we are heading over, im always keen to go over more if it falls within my time off work. Iv never done a closed day at...

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Sorry buddy but what pads do you prefer the 2500s?

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Thanks, yep it sure was a full on trip! Cant wait until next year, but this time i will hire a flatbed to take the car over.

Thanks Pete that explains it then, i still have some way to go yet.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Well it is strange, Spa is not really heavy braking circuit, with 8 braking zones over 4 miles is should not be hard on the brakes, I found Silverstone a lot harder on the brakes in the RS4. Im not a fan of the CL pads... However a lot on here are not fans...

Good old Clio jet, dont think he liked being over taken ;)

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Gaz i think the piston rings have had it so will look into a mild rebuild (might get a uprated engine not sure yet). Will have to get a few quotes first. Yes its strange how your not happy with your brakes... Im on HC discs, ds2500 and rbf600 with brake...

925kg thats good! I take it that includes the cage? Where you shed the weighed? I had mine weighed and it came in at 980 (inc 38kg cage and half tank) and mine it stripped. It must be sub 900 with those new panels now.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Thanks Tommy, you should get your self over there if you have not already been.

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Will love to hear your view on the LSD and big brake set up, personally I dont think they need it unless you upping the power above 210bhp (maybe). Im away tonight but will PM you the settings tomorrow. Is Sanjay going to corner weight it as well?

^^^^^ This... Every mile driving in the Clio I was wondering when it would happen... And it finally did... 10 miles from the hotel. But thats half the fun about driving over lol

Love it Pete, looks spot on that. I take it the OEM cup spoiler weights a lot, was this why you put that spoiler on?

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Good times, esp those 3 min ones!!

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" I was watching it, as that's were I was playing with CL10 JET... However the view is terrible as I re-mounted my Go-pro higher up, so all you can see is the rear view mirror..shame really. Going to put it back to back in its original location.

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Thanks for the comments guys. Ash likewise fella, did you get a chance to look at the data logs. Would like to get an idea of a fully race prepped Clio Spa times. You was smashing it around that track!

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" The car is using lots of oil, its being blown out of the breather system and into the catch tank, so I think new rings are needed. This could be the perfect excuse for a engine rebuild, maybe go for a high spec race build. Will have to get saving. Also...

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Spent a week over at the Ring and Spa, got back a few days ago. The trip was very eventful...im summary we had 4 cars brake down/problems, one guy have a heart attack, a missed Eurotunnle train...some good point too, meeting good ppl who have a passion...

Sounds like you have a good set up there. Agree with the comments about the harness, but what can you do other than fitting a cage. Do you have any plans for a cage (bolt in?).
