So the car is going to a local race car specialist (literally 1 mile away from my house) he deals with chevron race cars and builds a lot from chassi up he also looks after 2 seats which race in 24h endurance series. He has offered to support me with fitting cage, seating position, wiring loom...

Ahh right I was looking at the 200bhp/tonne class. The tracks are really appealing the next one is August 6/7 at Cadwell I am trying to be ready for them but it will be a push!

@Russ Rallye i am thinking the 750 motor club hot hatch series. Have you had a look into it at all?

I am back from holiday on Tueaday so will ring MSV and see if they can do it on the day!

Yeah I have filled it all out just waiting to get back got from holiday then got my doctors app for my medical... Then ARDS on the 8th! @sonny172cup did you get charged for your medical at the doctors?

@Mash. In the go racing pack you get a DvD just watched that the s tidy the flags in the little book you get and as @sonny172cup says it's mainly safety related according to people I speak to. @182_Ads cage has already sold unfortunately, I will message you if the sale falls through though...

No update on this just yet as I am on holiday! However few things have been arriving at home....full cage from customer cages, my new seat. Hopefully all ready to go in be car 1st July! However while out in Cuba I have been getting ideas on a dash from an old American Chevy......

I have spend a lot with them basically eve thing for racing....safety equipment new helmet hans devise everything!!

Like I said I have purchased a lot from JJC and they were doing me 4 for £54 I think + VAT so not to bad! But then they have been doing me some good deals on a lot of bits and bobs

Yeah when ordering them from JJC I have got 2 for now to meet 2016 regs but rightly so 4 are required for 2017, and the guy suggested bolt through the plate that I have circuled with a back plate. The wire toe hooks have come and they are a nice piece of kit!

Ordered the Custom Cage today should be here within 3 weeks! So hopefully if all goes well could be ready for racing in August. May need to call of a few peoples expertise with fitting cages as it does go behind the dash!

Guessing you skinned the bonnet with a grinder? I can only see that ended one way and it's not good for the bonnet!

Update 13/6 So tonight I set about removing my old eBay cage and bucket seat from the car, this was a laugh as I forgot how awkward they are to handle inside a Clio! I will save he clean up until tomorrow night and then probably going to use some hammerite paint to do the inside nothing fancy...

@Jamie86 what series do you race in yourself?

Have to let me know what is like I am open to anything!! I am hopefully going to be up and running August time so hopeful to get a few races in towards the end of the year and new parts over winter with a few cheap track days to sort things out!

A few picture of how it stands

What did you think of the ARDS? Oulton is my local track so I know it well. Not had chance to watch the DvD you get sent as of yet. Really not sure yet open to options so far I have looked at Trocolre trophy, 750 motor Club (Hot Hatch), MSV Trackday trophy or Trackday championship. What do you...

So I have been on here a while and been toying with the idea of racing the Clio. I have been doing Trackdays for a few years and as some of you may know the car goes very well. I have just purchased all the bits required for turning my Clio into racing spec (new seat, harness etc etc) ARDS...

I use normal however cannot comment on the difference as never used grooved. Depending on your pads (I run DS1.11 and find them fine and for the price they are perfect) @Vioar

@seanconnolly have you tried the hubs yet...?

Front DS1.11 with HC Brembo discs, very very good and got them for a very good price from @George@RTR_Parts Rear standard discs with brembo oMe pads again work perfect. My car is just a track car if you using on the road the brakes maybe abit squeaky until hot!

@Robmarriott where did you get the BTCC towing eyes from?

Yeah true but I need my box out as its jumping out of 3rd and it's doing my head in....so might put a diff in it when it's out then tidy a few bits up while that is out! We shall see @Mash.

Sounds promising! I have had mine 4 years now and debating a rebuild over the summer, what money I would save doing £250 track days get a new cage, seat, diff etc etc so it will be race ready for whenever I want it. Maybe look to do a msv trophy towards end of the season

@Mash. are you thinking about racing?

@bloke guessing you think it is the box then and nothing else?

I like how it's bhp that determines the class, do you know what class your mates are in? I presume with my clip I would fall in either class B or MsVT hot hatch...

@Tomotek is that the MSV Trackday trophy you have been looking at? I have looked at this and they seem to have a good calendar for a very competitive price. 30 qualify and 45 min race which is split between 2 drivers @Russ Rallye have you looked at this too?

Not that I am aware of Black Diamond in Warrington (North West) around £400 I paid then when I said I was not happy with it they did the next replacement for a discounted price

Yeah before it had its first re build it was a lot worse and wouldn't go into 3rd gear either
