Good little vid that! Music was really good also, my kind of music!

I kind of agree with this chap, if they were 17's without the speedline stickers and the silver centre caps it would look perfect! Just looks like the wheels are too big! Looks good though with the splitters but not the spolier, good choice with that! :)

Had my RS-2 for just over a year now, one of the best purchases for the car! And the best performancewise! :)

Winner wheels! I have 2 sets also ;)

So another little update, cars been at the fabricators now for only 2 days and a fair chunk of work has already been done! Went down there to talk to chap about various things he wanted to change for the better, me being me and seeing lots of cars on here with gussets and the A/B pillars and box...

It's something I'd like but will wait for a while, what I'm going to do is cut out lots of the metal work like the doors and boot. The doors really surprised me with how heavy they are so with a bit of chopping about and polycarbs I can save a good bit of weight there!

Lol same here Dave! Hours of fun climbing through it all ;) Yeah James (JMS) said to trace every single wire as they may change somewhere! I'm going to utilise the standard ecu, seeing as the RS-2 was designed with using it and me not wanting any more power with regards to lairy cams or...

Cheers, not following any wiring diagrams at all. Before I took the loom out I just labelled every plug/wire in the car and things like sterio/boot loom/airbag wiring+pretensioners etc etc can go. Anything to do with the clocks/lights/stalks/engine are all being left, just being careful to trace...

So another Update... Started on thinning out the interior loom this evening starting from the rear of the car, not too hard of a job really just being patient instead of being chop happy makes things easier in the long run! The start... Came across this 3 times in just the rear part of...

Indeed mate, once it's done I'll give you a shout. All I'll say is once you see it you'll want one ;)

Oh and Fletcher, your a yobbo now with them pops and bangs! ;)

Yes! The 2 OMP ones I had were poor, and I mean very poor that would of needed a lot of 'work' to make them fit! When speaking to Mike at Edwards Motorsport (the person doing mine), he said that when a customer asked him to fit a premade cage the customer was confused as to why it would cost...

Righty so dont take this the wrong way, but I had a little bit of a clearup as it did turn into a what racecar to build/buy thread. It's for certaint that i'll be building the clio into a racecar and thats it, also tbf with the amount of interest shown into racing someone should open up a thread...

You have a pm about it Tony.

Cheers Tom, its much appreciated. p.s. I hope it still stays like that even when I finish ahead of you ;) (joking)

Totally agree with you Dan, this week and a little bit last i've been taking any uneeded brackets out of the car in the evenings after work and started on cutting down the loom. I look back and it looks like i've done nothing however in the end its all for a good cause! :)

Well... Currently using FK Konigsports, which I know probably arent great for racing and i'm probably going to need better suspension but i'm interested to see the difference in laps times between the setup im using and the AST setup that Burpspeed are using (56.7sec lap at Brands I think...

Yeah I've been realistic with what I need and how much it'll cost for the required bits so I should be alright, the biggest chunk of money is the cage really and that's going to start being built Monday coming. At the moment I havent sorted anyone as a second driver, I've put it to a couple of...

Lol, you cheeky shite! You'll have a pm regarding a saxo build...

So after owning the clio for almost 3 years now and getting the trackday bug i'm looking for something a little bit more than trackdays. After going to watch Jay and Tony (Burpspeed) at the CSCC Tintops i've decided to turn my 172 Cup from a trackday car to a racecar for this competition, as...

Fletch for the money you'll spend buying it and modifying it to fit, you may as well get a custom cage like I am. It'll be fia approved, have more cage to it as well as being better structural wise (pick up point on rear shocks and b pillar gussets). And above all else it'll be lighter than the...

Yeah we saw that BMW Dan! Confused me as there's bearly a bend where he crashed! :s

Lets try and get a big group for this evening and have a close as can be 11 a side match! 1. Mike 2. Dave 3. Kris 4. Bigman 5. Littlelady 6. Nick172Cup

If the clios done then i'll be up for this! 1. atouba 2. Fletcher 3. original boy racer 4. dibdab 5. Toomer 6. Toomer89 7. Nick172Cup

Good little write up there! Like you've said the car was very tail happy and even Tony was having to fight it, so once you've sorted that its one less thing to worry about and focus more on chasing them damn Hondas! :) Was quite surprised at how the leading Hondas weren't a lot quicker than you...

Cheers for the info chaps! Tbf with any wheel there's always potential for cracks/bends unless you spend thousands, so at least if I bend a sub £100 wheel its better than bending one like a OZ Super/Ultraleggera thats worth £250 plus! Im sure also that rimstyle would give a pretty good...

Not too bad weightwise, will have to find out what the 2118 weight is now and see if its worth the gains. Chris - Want 3 sets of wheels as i'm looking to go racing the season after next! Want to join me? ;)

Anyone have any info? Looking at punting the 2 sets of 2118s on I have and getting 3 sets of the wheels above. Cheers Nick

Was good to come and see what goes on in the background rather than just the racing, cheers Tony and Jay for giving Ollie, Tom and I a good insight as to what needs doing etc. Its a lot more than you think! Well done with the racing also, did well seeing as the car was a 'handful'! There wasnt...
