172 Cup track car that i'll upload when i pick it up and this, which is off the Rep Ireland plates and back on the UK one's now

Hi Tom i'm in Billericay, Essex. Well the car is nearly complete apart from buying the Yoyo R1R's for everyday driving/ wet track and the ITG induction so i'll probably pick it up in the next couple of weeks. To be honest it's been a nightmare, the car cost me £2200 and including car it stands...

:approve: Nice!!

Well i took the car to Mark on Saturday, i've noticed that when the engine was warm and at idle there was a rattling noise and asked him to investigate before commencing any other work, i also asked him to give the car another once over and anything that needs doing get done, seems little point...

How much are they? I need one as well

i was looking forward to seeing one of these, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_RS200 then i realised where i was

My Clio Cup, has a wallet loads of receipts and MoT's but no service book, didn't bother me too much on a car like this, made sure cam belt had been changed etc. I've subsequently had it checked out by a specialist and got the thumbs up from them. I'll be keeping it properly looked after and...

For a steering wheel i quite fancy the Sabelt Renault Sport steering wheel, but my mates got a wheel that is as new i was going to have off him, may change the plan though if i can locate a Sabelt one.

I have had to have a word recently she is certainly bigger than when I first met her, how dare she entrap me, there should be a false advertising get out clause :-) Are you in Billericay? More than welcome to have a ride in the 993, I only got the docs through from the dvla yesterday so haven't...

She does all right mate, believe me. She has no access to my account and as long as she's kept in the manner she's used to she's fine :-)

Ha, sorry I'm rubbish at this Internet lark, never took it the wrong way I should have put a smiley or something. Mark was recommended to me by Porkie who posts on here so i went and had a chat with him and he seemed a top bloke, plus he's not too far away. I got him to look over the car and...

I'm overworked and underpaid I'll have you know

I'm keeping the cost down by trying to source unused or very lightly used parts second hand. the seats I got off a mate for £400 Inc all the extra bits and are as new, AST's are off of Russ, cage is new £1250 fitted, disks I got off of a deal here £50. Wheels are new and boxed £400. The rest...

Just read the second part of jack_kemps post Fun is the key here, my last car could pretty much keep with most things on track and i actually found it a bit boring and found myself held up a lot, and that had nothing to do with my very average driving skills

Will do! Thanks for the AST's :-)

Well i thought i'd start with handling and stopping first then perhaps tackle engine. Got any easy gains? I've got to draw the line somewhere and i was thinking these mods were the best to start off with. I'm trying to be midly sensible here as the car wasn't that expensive to start with. I have...

:D

Well the track season is nearly upon us. I bought a 172 Cup in August and have subsequently done 1.5 tanks of petrol so just been sitting there. The car is about to go into Mark Fish Motorsport. I'm having the following fitted Full Mark Fish Cage AST Sport line II's with adjustable top mounts 2...

A mate has recommended iWeb then publish using MobileMe, anyone tried this, I've got a MacBook Pro that I just use for browsing the web so might be worth gettin some more use out of this. I'll look into the PC World app as well

Sounds like a plan cheers guys, I'll have a read of the docs tomorrow at work. Thanks

Hi, I'm a technical numpty with no programing experience, I've found a couple of domain names that I'm going to register. How do I get going building a site, I just want to show the Clio build and then trackday diary with vids. Someone told me some domain places offer building tools...

34 - Honda Elise S/C C/C, Clio 172 Cup, Toyota Auris SR

Thanks, i clicked on the make and model at the top by accident which then gave me the option of selecting the number of studs, my mistake. Ordered now

I seem to have lost my edit button, what i'm asking is, with the v1's is the setup good enough for track work out of the box, obviously with the v2's i have the added benefit of being able to give the car to someone who does know what they're doing to set it up for me.

Sorry, only just got the car, how many studs should i order for, it's a 172 Cup Thanks

Think i'm going to buy these, thing is i don't think i'm knowledgeable enough to muck around adjusting the rebound and i'd probably bugger up the car, am i better off saving a bit of money and going for v1's over v2's.

Beginning to think that would have been the sensible route, want a 172 cup as p/ex? ;)

I'll keep my big trap shut if I see something in future! Apologies!

yep was daft, how do i delete the thread :o

Thought that might be the case, i was trying to fool myself it would be an achievement.....i have no patience and will loose my rag in ten minutes.
