Hi mate, the brackets were welded back into place and then a plate of similar size welded over the top to strengthen it up.... A little was lost in translation with the welder as I would have liked that plate longer and welded over more of the back box, I'll see how long this lasts but it may...

Ha ha, I love the lift off over steer! But as long as your back on the power its minimal. I think Fraser is up on Friday the 12th mate, I'm struggling for holidays so possibly won't make it, so it will be the next weekend slot for me! Will let you know in advance, will be good to see you I there.

Ignore the top part of that, phone has copied text from my earlier reply when I was adding photos from last night...... I'll post those later.....

Quite a Few Clio's up at Knockhill last night for the Track Scotland outing, Weather was a massive improvement over Monday but a lot more red flags meant quite a few delays on / off track! Some photos below (not the greatest i'm afraid!) Either 4th or 3rd into Duffus mate but that's as low...

exhaust back up and fitted............. strengthening plates added as well so we'll see how long this lasts! thought about replacing the exhaust surrounds but a closer look at the drivers side one means that the bumper will need to be changed too........ Christ! must have been a little hot as...

I'm at the mercy of my exhaust being returned return so wont make the Monday coming one with the car, but ill be up to have a look is I can get back from Aberdeen early enough........... will catch up with you then mate

Hi Neil, I use John at Ladybank Tyres or my mate Gaz does it when I'm up getting the mods done..... you got that box working yet?

hi mate, cheers for the links. I have the prima race mounts fitted which may be the reason for the failure of the exhaust brackets, it seemed to work ok on the old soft ones........... photos would be good of your upgrades and I think I shall go for the new genuine rubbers for the rear of the...

Well Mondays out was amazing. Car is transformed with the AST's and bump steer kit, felt solid all day and turned in every so easily, point and shoot!! can turn in a lot later now and does it with no effort what so ever! great modification @NorthloopCup :smile:. Yous were right though I need...

Have to agree with Cally, crap day, too busy, too long in between sessions, but at 35 quid ok value. There must have been a few complaints as they were running the same day this Sunday but have moved the SLS to Saturday and are running a full session day on Sunday..... It sounds like it will be...

@bboy I would with Stuart mate, sessions are fun, but get a little busy for your first outing and the west coast Clio group get very excitable ( but are a good group of guys ).......... I would recommend the open day like the one on Monday coming, or the open night like Stuart did. Monday is...

Yeah it was a tough choice, really thought about the 335 or the 4 series, but as its a daily the 330 is perfect and gives a good bit of practicality as well! Although its the same engine so it may get a little remap to give me the 313 BHP in a little while :tongueclosed:

Totally unrelated post, well still involves a car but just not the Trophy! RS4 went up for sale and surprise surprise 3 days later its gone!! couldn't believe it and to be fair a little heart broken at it going 😂, but it was built for using, something that i didn't have time to do...

So a little more progress on the Clio front............. AST's & bump steer kit are finally fitted :tongueout:............ Haven't used it on track, but the 3 mile trip home was night n day. Hopefully the first outing at Knockhill will flag up a massive difference! sits a little lower than...

:smile:- Well that's the last piece of the puzzle arrived! just need to get my finger out and get everything fitted! - works been over the top and the typically spectacular (not!!) weather has hindered progress at the minute! suspension install targeted for next week and then a few more track...

Yeah iv been considering that already. From description in Toms thread it looked like he had the best of both 400lb front and 285lb rear, ill give them a go and see how they go this year and upgrade through the winter.............. i'm hoping they will be an improvement on the Gaz as standard...

thanks mate, the write ups seem to say it all with the hubs, so really looking forward to getting them installed and seeing the difference :tongueout:

Well, more performance parts arrived today! trying to stagger the installation of everything to see the benefit of each!! f@ck*ing hard when its all just sitting there though waiting to go! Cams are on route and should arrive next week................ hard bit is going to be holding off...

Great to here mate, everybody seems to rate them so i'm looking forward to the first outing............ :-)

I can quite easily see how it all ads up to £7k lol, foolishly kept a spreadsheet going with mine...............keep looking at it and i still cant believe it all adds up lol! 😂😂 good seeing up there Cally, hopefully catch you in a few weeks!

I'm the same mate.... I take it you were off shore and missed the SLS Last weekend?

interesting to see how that works mate....

It certainly is mate, when I look at the numbers, maybe a little too much lol......... but it's worth it!

will do mate, I was looking at the heights your Ph1 was at and its pretty similar to how the Trophy sits just now.............:smile:

Some more shiny bits arrived today...... AST 4100's & bump steer kit.......... hope to get them fitted next week, off on holiday this week and whilst I would love to spend it working on the car, I have to keep the piece :fearscream:! If anyone's interested there will be some GAZ GHA's up for...

Don't know mate, 5 or 10 kilos maximum, and that probably includes the matting behind the dash...... It never seemed that heavy when doing it but when picking the carrier bag up at the end it was quite heavy, I never weighed it though.......

Perfect.......you just keep practicing on your one Glad to see it coming together mate !

Cheers mate, if you were local you could have borrowed mine............. once you get it all off you'll look back and think it really wasn't worth hassle lol, but there is something nice about clean :smile:
