So you take the Clio because for whatever reason you cant take the KTM.
You aren't actually choosing the Clio. Thats fair enough. Just wondered if you were thats all :)
I like KTM's alot.
I'd say its half and half. Stripped out etc to full interiors.
I prefer to keep cars nice to drive.... and if it was my only car I would keep EVERYTHING in it!!!
I went out in Madgits 172 he just bought a few weeks back. Std car, just new discs and hotter pads. SUPERB LITTLE FUN TRACK CAR...
Its fine as a road car. Quite firm but totally usable. I've driven it to the Ring few times... I'm driving it to the Ring in 10 days time actually. Love driving it. I don't drive every day as work in London... and without wanting to sound like a dick... but if you had a Ferrari F430 spider and...

Just put the 7th in my Diary. I'm only 45mins for Brands, so will definately come along :)
Good luck with all the prep!

My car got SOAKED on way to trackday once... I got a wet ass and wet feet!
So I bought this brand new the next day! Never regretted it! its just turned one year old now. Awesome thing!
bet you do the same...
I have one... haven't had it fitted. LOVE the way my car handles on its Mark Fish set up without it to be honest. My rear springs are VERY firm though.
Might take it along to a trackday and fit in at lunch time and see differences back to back one day
Fairplay. good luck to you!!! I bought my first new Porsche by then. Was just a Boxster though!
Weirdly your current Audi is my least fav.... your others have been STUNNERS!
Goes ok with 240bhp. No ball of fire like the Westy. But yes.. adequate ooomph!
Once I get the uprated JUBU gearset in it (4 months wait, so sticking another standard box in it for meantime) I will get it tuned to 300bhp and it should go very well!
Sadly can't do 12th march. Weekends only...
10,000 VERY hard miles! mostly on track or Ring.
Its always 3rd gear that goes. VERY VERY common fault sadly.
The car was never really designed to be supercharged at beginning. The Atmo cars are always fine.... Its the supercharged ones like mine with 240bhp + that kills em.
I actually...
You kinda have to dial yourself as well as the car in... I drove it for first time in dry for 3 months on saturday. For the first 5 laps... I was SCARED! I was like.. how the hell did I used to attack the track and push this thing hard?!?!?
Few sessions later and it was sideways central again...
Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned
Here you go Martin. It looks speeded up... but its NOT, you can see by how slow I change gear! its just a FAST car... on LOW boost...

They will be worse in my opinion and experience. They are tyres... they cant work miracles. A slippery track is a slippery track. Once you get some heat in them a track orientated tyre like a Direzza will work better in the rain and slippery track than a road tyre.
For me in damp and wet...
Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned
Love them all in different ways! and I mean all. I LOVE my Clio. 10000000000000% love it.
Have you seen the Westfield video I posted? Its VERY intense and extreme car... it can thrill on another level to pretty much anything I've driven...
Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned
Yes mate. Exactly that. My uncle always comes with me. Then I just ask a friend or two. I let them drive them on track as well so lots of people have fun day out. My mum will drive something if I get stuck. My little sister is very good on...
Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned
Few years back now! Sold Sierra. Sold Skyline. Kept 911 and gave Boxster to my little sister.
Last year. Astons went ages ago, Sold 911 last month after doing 9 miles in last 12 months lol! Sold M3 as w
Sold my M3 now as well!
Still got...

Awesome. Thats VERY light! My Brian James RS2 car and tyres etc much heavier. Surprised!
