    ClioIV RS Trophy?

    The box is good. I hope they keep it but have a full manual paddle mode with no beeps and stick a diff in it. They won't though. It'll be paint, wheels, remap and 5mm lower for an extra £3k or something

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    My new car came with these on the front. It was chucking it down on the drive home and they seemed great. Very good in the dry too. They are very wide for a 195 profile tyre. As wide as 205 RSRs

    T4RKO 172 Cup

    Nice big space to work in :) I'm going to have to try and get mine side by side outside.

    No, no. If you turn the assistance right down its the same as having no PAS.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Picked it up and pretty happy with it. A few things I want to sort out apart from the swapping of parts. Bonnet weighs a tonne so will look at a fibreglass one. Either that or the Ph1 front end conversion...really don't know whether to do that or not. Throttle is very heavy and needs some...

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    It could be a problem. I know someone else with a Ph2 Clio with the same issue. I'd say there's probably hundreds nocking around with rust. Yeah the "When two become one" project should be good! Although heavier over the front than my ph1 by about 23kg by my reckoning. I tried Rota...

    Fuel setups

    My current car runs a return and a pressure regulator in the rail. The new one has no return or regulator. Which is best?!

    new source for a torsen diff!

    Bargain! My mate runs a torsen in his supercharged MX5, feels the same as a quaife tbh.

    Martin's Track Clio 182 Project Thread

    Very similar tyres and pressures then. So if you use the same ratio mine came out with yours works out as 209bhp and 169lbft. Which is what I'd expect tbh considering you're on 421s

    Martin's Track Clio 182 Project Thread

    FYI Martin mine was mapped on semi slicks with the pressure a bit low so on RS Tuning rollers is made 152 at the wheels and the printout said 184 at the flywheel. So then when I had mine mapped on the ITBs (with the same wheels and tyres) it made 172 at the wheels and that worked out as 208bhp...

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Yeah the rust is right the way through the sill, both sides. And on the driver side it goes up and around the inner to outer arch seam. One of my considerations is to put the Ph1 front end on the cup.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    The Ph1 is getting cubed. I took the rear door cards off to trial fit the cage and the sills are funked on both sides. To say I was gutted when I saw it is an understatement. The MOT is up in early April so to save any hassle swapping my private plate over I thought it would be best to make a...

    My BG 182 Track Car Build

    Definitely needs the orange cage now! Also I hate to say it but I think it needs more lows.

    Ph1 172 Track Car. Next Year I Go Racing - Hopefully!

    Yeah that's a fair point, you'd need lacquer on the grey.

    Ph1 172 Track Car. Next Year I Go Racing - Hopefully!

    2 coats! More weight lol. Looks good but I just couldn't live with white due to cleaning. I'd have gone for a silver/grey personally.

    Mk2 Rear seats

    A while back I swapped my Ph1 rear seats for some cup ones but my lad is talll (he's 5.5 but as tall as some 8 years olds!) so the cup bench is no good now as he needs a rear headrest. I like the cup bench as it's less hassle to take out for track days being one piece base and back. Did...
