    What is this? Can I remove it from my track 182

    Yes it is the PMS one. The module is bolted to the treaded stud. It’s only at one end but it’s very secure. The inside/tunnel is painted smooth hamerite silver. It’s a perfect match for titanium silver 182s ?

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car Title of the project and it’s been bugging me for a bit........ GF05LWT (or as it is now C5EAD) hasn’t made it to race car status. Problem is i’ve spent to much on it and my personal circumstances have changed. When I bought it I was self employed...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Thanks to an unexpected bonus from work I purchased a second set of wheels for the Clio. I now have some brand new Team Dynamics pro 1.2 in anthracite. They’re brand new but managed to buy them second hand off of a guy on eBay. Came in the Rimstock boxes with all the protectors still on them...

    Slicks - where/brand etc?

    Not on the clio but have much experience with various slicks/conditions on my old rotax snr kart. I know what’s involved etc Just to clear up i’m not after one session punch, just a set to use on track days when the conditions are right.

    Slicks - where/brand etc?

    Thanks for the responses. I’m conscious of second hand tyres as per the reasons above. Friend had a set at the last track day and they had a bad vibration. The power steering pump fail that day which was probably related. Need to research if the Toyo is as good as the Dunlop/Michelin as a new...

    Slicks - where/brand etc?

    Cheers for the answers @JB21 & @JamesBryan Is it worth the extra £££ to go new? I guess this depends on how worn out a second hand set is? What the best between the second hand tyre? Dunlops or Michelins ? Cheers

    Slicks - where/brand etc?

    Hi I’m now running the 15’ wheel successfully (Fitting Brembos under 15’ wheels are hard work!) and have a second set of alloys coming. Slicks must be like normal road tyres? There’re good ones and not so good ones?! What’s best to look for? I don’t want them so hard they last for 10 years and...

    Track Focused Coilovers/Suspension

    I’ve had Gaz Gold for nearly 3 years with no issues apart from when I got them the gaz gold top mounts didn’t work with the gaz gold coilover! Bizarre! Changed to PMS top mounts with no issues. Only paid £800 (inc top mounts) brand new. I like cutting the apex, riding the curbs etc etc. Still no...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    So it’s been sunny ever since Donnington! Sod’s law I guess. Took the opertunity to decamp all the tools etc out of the clio and give it some love. It was filthy! I cleaned it on the trailer. It’s taken 8 months to make the operation of getting it out of the garage and back in easy. It works...

    The trials & tribulations of racing a Clio

    I’m not going to lie, I completely ripped off the graphics of your old blue car?! I asked for something similar and my mate literally did it spot for spot! Sorry I think I asked you when it was up for sale where you got the graphics from via the eBay add for the car. Also I think I chatted to...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Amazingly yes he was. Fustraited as it was the slowest crash in history. It literally tipped on its side when it dug into the gravel. No scratches but a crease in the rear quarter and the mirror was knocked off. Lots of stones stuck between the tyre bead and the alloys. Once these were all...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Official photos are in. Still happy reflecting what was a challenging day. I did film it but the footage isn't great as the road has reflected any form of light so you cant see where I'm going. Shame As we're all Renault fans I'd thought a couple of photo of my mates 197 would be...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    After an 8 month layoff. New brakes, new cambelt, new wheels/tyres, becoming a trailer queen from a road car, various other changes. The clio went on it first track day. It didn’t stop raining all day and the little clio performed faultlessly!! Well happy with the changes but would like to try...

    Gone and put a deadline on the Clio as it’s dragging on this year. Nicest summer ever and the car hasn’t gone out once? Coming up... Rolling road 6th October Donnington trackday 15th Oct Car is now on the trailer properly. I moved everything out of the garage so I can just back it in now and...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    I bought the trailer back in February and finally it made it to my house! Cut to the chase, the car is on the trailer and the both of them are in the garage, result! But it wasn’t easy. First up I jet washed the trailer, mounted the number plate perminantly and fitted some stands to it. Then...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    So here’s a strange look. Function over form! Painted the new wheels hamerite silver as per normal. I’m right on the width limit for the trailer. If needs be i’ll make another one for the other side but I can’t delay it anymore, i’m getting the trailer back home tomorrow. Busy weekend ahead as...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Busy day today changing fluids and making sure the exhaust won’t fall off. I changed the below brackets as the old ones were all knackered. Cost over £40 for the brackets! Then an oil change. Couldn’t believe how black it was. After lots of research I used the original Elf oil. Turns out you...

    MSA battery isolation scuttle panel

    Hello I want to install a battery switch to the scuttle panel. Firstly as the car is no longer road legal so it’s a another step in it becoming a race car and secondly because when I go to use it it often has a flat battery as it doesn’t move much anymore. I had one when I had my trusty TVR...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Times moving on fast but still haven’t had the car out. Mainly because i’m still trying to adapt some wheels to get it on the trailer. But we’re close. Nearly there, the car is to wide at the front and it’s hard to reduce it due to the brembos. Basically i’ve had to make a bespoke wheel for...
