I have just watched it!! I got bogged down by the civic off the start and got swamped by the MR2's then I took it easy for a few laps then went for it after about 3 laps.

If you get the chance you should do it, sitting on the grid thinking s*** then lights are going out and it's going to be flat out for 8-10 laps....it's totally different to track days! Car went well just little Tweeks to be done now to make it perfect for the class

That was the plan @Tony Hunter keep t on the black stuff! I won't be at Mallory but will be at Snetterton I think the date it 29/30th October? Thanks

Glad someone was there to back up how bad the weather was....mad it all the more interesting for my first race I suppose, still getting used to overtaking wherever there is a gap I left to much room at the starts and didn't want to get into trouble, just being sensible.

It was a mixed grid I was 4th overall....I had a Civic, Bora and a Celica in front of me! Not all the normal races were there though so was a good settling in race.

Race report Cadwell Park 3rd September. So for people who have been following the thread will understand that the Clio has been transformed into a 'race car' still a lot more to do with the car however this was my first race weekend....very scary!! So up on Saturday nice and early woke up to...

Chris at EFi Parts would highly recommend he has a website if you wanted to go and look. So I am still aiming for 200bhp per tonne hopefully car is around 950 (yet to be weighed) let's see how we get on

@GazzaCup i have been on the rolling road today and had the Clio mapped, it made 177bhp after the map (standard engine - Miltek exhaust + V6 air box) 151bhp at the wheels which isn't to bad I am told. Do you know if the regs are power at the wheels or power at the flywheel?

Yeah he explained how you would really feel it lower down and with increased throttle response it will be much improved. Increases the Rev range to 7500 and peak bhp is 6700/7000 as you can see by the graph. This will then allow the power to stay and not drop off.

£159 - Very good service I have been debating it for a while too. Did about 6 runs in today (3 readings in each run) He doesn't settle for the first run he is very very good. Like I said above I am running standard engine part form air box and exhaust and managed to get another 7 bhp and a...

Yeah all good thanks mate will be back at Oulton over the winter

Yeah happy with that for now! Will be there around 2/3, are you coming in the Clio?

Been up at EFI Parts mapping this afternoon. Car is running a Miltek exhaust system (Cat still in place) with a v6 air box and cold air feed all standard apart from that. So first run on the rollers saw 171bhp all well and good however according to Chris there were a few flat spots and the...

I think it's done apart from mapping. For the people who race how much padding is required around the driver area? @Tony Hunter @Adam G

Cutting it fine but roof scoop fitted yesterday (nightmare of a job) then off to EFI Mapping on Tuesday, will see what the old girl is running it goes well so will be interesting hopefully around 170!! (Wishful thinking) It's getting a clean today so will get some pictures done.

@David Garthwaite Hi David I am going into Tricolore Trophy for the end of this season I can give you an update on that (Production Plus class) which is standard engine but all other mods are free I have also looked at the possibility of 750 motor club 'hot hatch' it has a much more mix of...

@Adam G i am waiting for Steve V from Tricolore Trophy to send me some he has had them in order for 8 weeks. He is sending me the required white background numbers but I just wanted these in Windows like a few others and incase they don't come from Steve they are easily removed if they a major...

Update Got the v6 box fitted tonight hopefully see me well in the prod plus class. New alternator as the other one decided to give way £100 of Euro parts with 25% off. Got the new numbers frittered as didn't like the size of the old ones.

Your not wrong! That may be abit close to my race at Snetterton on the 29th October but we shall see! Any plans to come to Oulton as it is 10 mins from me!

Looking good @Mash. Would like to be out on track with this to see how it goes! when are you thinking of getting out and about?

Will let you know the date as soon as I can

Ermm won't be racing there until next year but hopefully will be here between start of September and end of October. You thinking of joining me if I go?

Pictures

Got the car home tonight as I said before still a few things to do but here are some pictures of the work so far!

@GazzaCup I am looking at the 750 motor club for next year, I was thinking of doing the 200bhp per tonne, I am getting my clio mapped at EFI on the 30th August I can give you an indication of power then on a standard engine. I run standard engine with v6 Air box with a cold air feed. (hoping...

Picking the car up tonight.... Few things left to do..... after it starting the other day the BATTERY and STOP light are showing on the dash I immediatly thought alternator which we tested and proves to have gone, not surprised given the state it is in, so I have got one off Euro Car parts...

I have Custom Cages one it's a weld in like the above comment says slightly more difficult to fit but well worth it! @Sam Linssner

That sounds the easier option then. Thanks Guys.
