Yes looking at all the pictures the bumper is a little on the flexible side lol!
Still sorting the video's so the writeup isn't finished yet but the video battery died just on the outlay of the 2nd race so no footage of that race :(
Just booked the Renaultsport trackday at Oulton Park on the...
I'm not 100% on this, I have a bad feeling the answer is yes but I don't have one and i'm fairly sure Tony doesn't not sure about the other competitors. If required they are about £75 from Tweaks
Edit: just seen your reply Fred, my answer is just with regards to bluebook regs
I keep praising this setup done 3 days worth of track work with mine now and really love it! As long as it stays reliable I couldn't imagine why anyone wouldn't do this to their track clio :)
Best of luck with the class I really hope it works out well! Would be very interesting to build a car to spec this year and see the sort of times it could do. It's effectively a fast road setup so will be a multipurpose car!
If I can be of any help at any point then please ask, would be nice...
Haha I just remember looking in the mirror on the way towards the esses and you guys were only just coming out of Gerrards I knew something must have kicked off!
Great days racings and thanks again Tony for convincing me to try the Frenchies :)
Just found the TV coverage of the races from the weekend so if anyone want to watch before it's broadcast onto Motors TV later in the month then have a watch :)

Thanks everyone for all the nice words and sorry for the slow reply first time i've got on my computer since Wednesday! Really happy with how everything went, plenty of little tweaks to make and time still to come but no real rush :) I have made a start on the write up and video's so will...
Just noticed this thanks Chip :) Thanks guys for all the nice words! Been a long a painful journey but had a great weekend with the car and hopefully look forward to many more like it
Right so just got in from packing everything ready for Mallory. Spending the day at BTM tomorrow to change 5th gear, corner weight and do the geo plus another couple of little odds and ends if Fred is feeling bored ;)
Then Friday is the trackday at Mallory where I've got a list of jobs to run...
Thanks guys :) I don't have space for them anyway lol! I will maybe bundle them into my girlfriends car incase of bad weather.

Fair enough Russ :) just like last year in quali at donny I could scroll between screens when the car failed to pin point the issues. Look forward to seeing this in action! What are your plans? Testing this year or straight into racing? If so what series?

Looking awesome Russ :) I would suggest having an up or down button for the dash within reach while harnessed in as then you can do page changes to see other parameters.

Copied over from Facebook for those who don't have Facebook :)
COMPETITION TIME: Very kindly had a pair of tickets donated for the BTCC at Snetterton. We are going to be away racing at Mallory so can't make it! Thought we would do a little competition and give the tickets away :) So the 2...
Sorry not too sure mate what my ramp rates are off the top of my head. Yes standard FD is 4.06 so yours 4.28 is alot closer to standard FD than mine at 4.60. Gripper do upto 5.25 from memory but that's certainly aimed at the gravel rally boys I think! I said to gripper to set it up as they would...
Yes 130 is 182 and 129 is 172 cup. The only difference being the 129 has speedo sensor. It's 4.60 or 4.64 from memory pulls out of the corners very nicely but wasn't getting good top speeds so will be interesting in car to car combat I think lol
Thanks Mike :) I have some but not sure i'm going to be able to fit them in lol! You testing Friday or coming down Saturday?
When I swapped final drive I calculated top speed at 145 with the stock JC5 130 5th or 130ish with the lower and wasn't sure if that would be enough. I left the standard...
Yes need to :) current 5th gear is pathetic lol
Yes can do as Fred says and remove lower GB mount drop a few inches and then get the end cap off. I'm going to Fred's on Thursday to do it and also for the final corner weighting and setup :)
Haha yes I thought the same myself but still a fair...
So had a hectic few days and looking at when Mallory is I only have the Thursday before testing on the Friday to get the car ready and that has got to allow for a lot of jobs :(
Check straps on doors
Wiring diagram and fuse layouts
Clean and mark up dampers
Roll cage padding
Driveshaft gaiter...
It's on a piece of paper somewhere in my garage so i'll do my best to find it asap but mad busy atm sorry :( If I can find it i'll try scan it across :)
Re: sonny172cup "track racer project"
Great news Sonny :) Look forward to seeing you out there! As Tony says coming to Mallory would be a good plan if you are free.

Massive thanks to Nick at Puremotorsport for taking the time to chat with me for a while this afternoon and share his wealth of knowledge. Helped me get to the bottom of few things and also gave me some setup advice and tips moving forwards. Got a selection of shims ordered and also a couple of...
