I did 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and then 3m fastcut, polish and wax on mine, probably spent a couple of hours on them and they were perfect. looks like you've used too coarse a grade (800) and then jumped to something too fine (3000) to remove the scratches left behind and then simply not polished...

I'm near Laurencekirk, but track only I'm afraid.

Hi John, hows tricks? Yeah I've seen various clios doing the rounds on Fb :P I'm just curious to know if I can get it on the trailer! Looks encouraging so far! Bloke: Thanks for that, that sounds very encouraging, I need it to be under 1000 with track wheels, tyres and full of fuel ideally...

Cheers gents. Bloke, is yours mk1 or mk2? KitsonRis, I guess that will be the addition of the axle weights from the brake tester and therefore wont be particularly accurate, but indicative anyway! rdoxenham, what did yours start out life as?

What he said was spend £1 per Pound of sprung weight saved and £3 per pound of unsprung weight. It wasn't a mathematical idea based on laptimes, but a measure of the relative importance and difficulty of saving from both areas. Chip know's this anyway, but there's no correlation that 10kg of...

Cheers guys, The Mk1s are really light! Mines a Ph2 Mk2 non cup 172, stripped, caged, aircon deleted on 15" ph1 alloys. R-Sport, is that the gold one in your avatar? Thats very light for a mk2 from what I can gather on here, what did you do to save the weight?

Hi, I'm just looking for a poll on weights of stripped and caged clios, along with a brief spec of whats missing/added/lightened, but please only if you have had it on a weighbridge or cornerweights, no guesses! Cheers

So I'm now the proud owner of a 172 track car. Let the fun begin!

Yeah that's the plan, it's already stripped, caged and has a few nice bits on it. I don't mind doing a little development, but I don't want to start yet another project that doesn't see the track, I'll improve times more with seat time than spanner time. From what's coming up i suspect Ill...

Sounds like fun!

Certainly more so than I used to be. Yeah, I watched Porkie do it..... I'll ask about the aircon delete, cheers for the heads up. I'm sure it is, but its the price of three trackdays without it.... Will bear it in mind and possibly look into it over the winter. That would be great, thanks...

Good to know I'll have the long two piece shafts but will check when i got to look at it. Roll centre kit looks good and definitely an improvement. Not something Ill be buying at that price however! Ah cool, like the nova strengthening kits of old. Sadly nowadays I have less time, but luckily...

MG Cup, whats the PMS stiffeneing kit all about? Do you have a link? The aim here is a cheap track car, not a project, but I do like suspension right, so redrilling some holes will definitely happen, as will shimming the axle, but I'd prefer to avoid sourcing parts from 47 different variants if...

Saner, cheers, will try and look it out. Chip, thanks for that, I found your thread on the wishbones last night hence the knowledge of those, so that's an easy mod for more castor, ironically the same as I did to Rob's astra years ago! I was hoping the track/camber wouldn't be in the subframe...

Hi, I'm new on here and possibly considering a Clio as a track car in the near future. I've had a search and a browse around here and other sites and Im struggling to come up with what I'm after. For a track car (so Aircon and ABS deleted, interior trim and spare wheel all gone and springs...
