*LOL* nice idea.... I learnt the hard way - spent £1000s modding a Fiesta turbo which is now worth jack sh*t. I either keep it or flog it for bugger all! Depends if you want a quick sale?

Alas, its doubtful if you will recover much more for the car than the std going rate for a Cup of your age/mileage etc....unless you find that elusive individual who wants the exact same spec. No matter how good the mods, a lot of people are wary of buying modded cars. Silly I know, but realistic.

There ya go! Top one, nice one...sorted!

I drive a Mk2 172 with tweaked suspension, which is immensely chuckable. Before I drove the Mk2 V6 on the track Id heard all the horror stories about the handling. On the track however all these vanished into thin air - the Palmersport instructors @ Bedford Autodrome encourage you to push the...

Speak to Rollcentre, and/or one of the Clio race teams...

BTTT Any news?

David - any news/update/pics of the new carbon bits for the Mk2 172 i.e. dash inserts, rear bumper insert, finalised front fog surrounds. Thanks!

Im near Bromley too...

Are the clutch and gearbox standard? They have trouble coping with a std 172 setup let alone all that extra power! :o

I totally missed it but good old TiVo recorded it for me! Top race....

And I heard that Sunnys 178mph Fiesta turbo will have a 100+ more bhp...

Really? What causes it? I only get it on the West track, never on the others!!

Ahh, that might explain it then!! Awesome pads tho and Ive not had them fade on me yet. Mind you, I did get the STOP/brake warning light flickering on at Bedford for some reason, and the pads werent worn....any ideas?

Ill second that as I was right behind him! I pulled over and he came flying past, then launched it into the corner and pirouetted off. I did try to hold up score cards but he was back on the track and off like a shot!! ;) Nutta alert for sure!! y0z2a - Im running CarbonMetallic pads from...

I think we all did when we stepped out from 15 mins of hard driving in the V6 cars!!!

Nice one Jeremy! Is the CD of the photos with it? yoz2a - I posted a msg about the day and asked if anyone was going but didnt see any takers so assumed I was the only one from here! It was only when I saw your pics I realised! You did indeed overtake on the straight (I let ya past!) and...

Cool! A few people from here, myself included (yozza too I think?) were there. They did mention on the day that wed receive a copy of the article and a CD with all the photos from the day....

IMHO the Eibachs give the best handling improvement on the 172. The AVOs are too hard as several members have found....

Make your own!! Just build an open box and complete the boot side with fibreglass

As a small aside, I personally found the West circuit very hard on the car (or it might just be me!). The Clio is always on the rev limiter between 2nd and 3rd round the twisty bits. The South-west track is, I think, more fun and more challenging plus its not so hard on the car....Ive bust a...

*WOW* What a day! The weather held off (just) and Renault had over ten Mk2 V6s there, including the only acid yellow one in the UK. Everyone got two fast laps in the V6 with an instructor and then 15 minutes at the wheel driving it flat out round the track, with the instructor barking orders...

Cheapest for me too. Over £200 cheaper than Tesco, who were the cheapest last year.

Love the blingbling chrome rims on the Megane - what make are they?

Its =in addition= to the 23rd July day, and was an utter nightmare to book! 5 calls to the 0800 nos, five messages left, not one returned call. However, a quick word with Mr.T and its all sorted - nice one Jeremy (and a huge thankyou)! After an appalling V6 test drive at my local garage itll...

As advertised in EVO this month - RenaultSport track day with the opportunity to actually drive the new V6 at Bedford Autodrome, plus time in your own car. Just (finally) booked my place, all thanks to Jeremy Townsend! Anyone from here going?

Hes spent over a year building it and finding a gearbox thatll handle the power!

The blue one with the chrome cage (the first pic) is my other car. The yellow one is my mates FRST, now with a dynod 401bhp/380lb/ft 2L Zetec turbo engine and NOS to come! Mine is up for sale....
