    rainsport 3 good idea?

    I was looking to run Goodyear eagle assymetric 2s but they don't come in 195/50 15 it seems. The options seem to be continentals at 50 odd quid, or the rainsprts. I ran these on a nova on the road for years and loved them, but will they work on track without falling apart? I don't mind them not...

    Rs tuner

    Can the box be used to change the maps on multiple cars? I.e. if someone local had the box, could I pay for a code and map, put it on my car and then give the box back? Cheers

    ***Tyre Poll***

    I'm looking for some tyres for summer road use and trackday wets. With this in mind I'd like curcumferential tread bands as opposed to V-tread which rules out the GSD3 and Rainsports. I run eagle assymetrics on my daily and they're awesome, but not made in 195/50 15 sadly. I've tried Toyo...

    Best insurance company for cars with cages?

    Who does everyone use? Seems to be a sticking point with many of the mainstream ones? Looking into covering a track car for occasional road use. Cheers

    3M Headlight Restore FAIL!!!!

    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...

    Weight of stripped and caged clios

    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...

    Weight of stripped and caged clios

    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?

    Real World Weight Difference: 182 FF Vs 172 Cup

    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...

    Weight of stripped and caged clios

    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

    Differences between 172 and 172 cup, 182 and 182 cup

    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...

    Differences between 172 and 172 cup, 182 and 182 cup

    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...

    Differences between 172 and 172 cup, 182 and 182 cup

    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...

    Differences between 172 and 172 cup, 182 and 182 cup

    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...
