What's the plan for the car? Track days and then into racing? @Hyperhatch

Had a great weekend racing at Castle Combe haven't really had time to update he thread much it is onto Oulton Park next on the 27th May for the Tricolore Trophy which should also be a great weekend. As some of you will be a aware a fellow racer and Clio man had a series accident in race 2 and...

Oh yeah it's a different ball game, I also did it as I was getting bored of the car doing track days....when racing I am now probably a few seconds quicker on laps. The feeling of being on the grid is amazing and extremely nervous. Only probably is you just want to spend spend spend on the car...

@Hyperhatch planning on racing or just tracking for now?

Had it idling for 30 mins no engine light revs and runs fine!

Long story....been having issues with car jumping in and out of 3rd on downshift....just eliminating all possibilities and this one was the linkage hitting the lambda sensor when in 3rd gear then the vibration for the engine movinng the sensor and knocking it out of gear.

No not yet, I have found a bung that will go in the hole, will se show it runs

Car has been mapped by chris at EFI

Simple question I run a 172 Decat which as everyone will know has the 2 holes for Lamba sensors... Do I need to run them both? The one at the rear (not the one near the manifold) is causing me problems. What will happen if I run with it out? The car is track use only not on the road! Thanks

Yeah will be at Combe! It's mounted against the suspension leg like in a vertical position below the power steering fluid

Did you use a ramp to fit or is it possible on my back in the driveway ahha

Anyone have any hints and tips on how to fit? Seems easy from the fitting guide however I'm sure there will be a few snags along the way. PMS says put it in reverse to line it up, does this work better? Thanks Josh

Out with the old and in with the new! PMS solid mount to replace the standard one. Just need to relocate the ecu now as it was mounted on top of the battery carriage. Also fitted some new rear discs and pads.

It's running somewhere in the range of 2.5 on the front just sorting out a few essentials to get me back out on the grid...this will be sorted with new suspension and top mounts. Thanks for the guidance though How is the AG?

Just the universal one from eBay, it's fiberglass I have just sanded down and sprayed it over it's a good fit. Just make sure if your running a full cage you Mount it far enough back it doesn't catch.

Cheer pal, few more updates to come and hopefully a few improvements through the season (Lighter, diff, suspension)

Not posted in here since last year....end of last season racing went well, a big step up from doing your normal track days all good fun though. Realised over winter I need £££££ to be competitive....so another year building up bits and pieces should see me in a good position by the end of this...

What you series you thinking of running in?

You bought this @Ph1 Tom ? Still planning on racing next year? @NorthloopCup the AG is looking spot on mate!

Ahh right I am keen for full coilover until to give me more adjustment on the rear. It will also make it slightly easy should I want to adjust spring rates. I have been in contact with GAZ and they recommend full coilover for racing so I am decision making at the minute. The GAZ do GHA kits...

interesting!! I cannot find BC ones with adjustable height at the back on a Coilover can only find dampers which is what I run at the minute. If you have a link anywhere I will gladly have a look. Thanks

Hi Who runs Gaz Gold's I would appreciate your thoughts on whatt hey are like and if you know what spring rates you are running could you please let me know. I am racing the clio and need an upgrade to the current suspension however there are alot of different combinations. Thanks Josh

You planning on racing or just track days @Tomotek

@Ph1 Tom still thinking of coming racing Tom?

@getikte if you close to Snett on the 30th come down and have a look at the clios and racers

I see Robs comment above and he quotes £600 I have done it as cheap as I can and I run in production plus. Probably around an extra £100 on top of your race entry fee but I camp over at the events.

Fantastic build, wouldn't mind seeing it out on track too! What engine is going to be in standard or something with more power? @Tomotek

Probably see you in the CNC I have just sent off my registration for next year, I am joining that and tricolore too as the guys were great at my first race last weekend and may get a few other tracks!

Any thoughts on where you are racing next year yet Russ? Cheers Josh

Don't need the medical before the day. As comments above they walk you through the Dvd and give you a few of the answers....are you doing at Oulton with MSVT? The driving is easy he let me drive 3 laps giving me advice on how to go quicker he then said next time we go over the line he won't...
