I run ds2500's in mine - seem more than enough to be honest with 300mm discs and don't take too long to heat up As for clio as ideal road/track car - I just always disagree with people here. They're a good b road thrasher as standard and with the air con I'm sure they're comfy. But seats are...

I will always disagree on the 4 pots - they weigh less than half the old brakes and the drop in unsprung mass was noticeable on the handling and turn in side of things. I just think most people choke at the £1200 cost for them. Diff was always on the cards - just was waiting for the engine or...

Yup - exactly why I did this. 200bhp, plenty to eat normal and rs2'd clios all day long (;)) - but if the engine goes bang it's an afternoons work to swap it all onto another engine and I'm back out Cams would maybe get me another 10bhp, but then if the engine went it'd be a big rebuild cost...

Agree fully with you there. I'd maybe choose some comfier seats and leave a stereo in - but I wouldn't do a track day in a non-caged car, not after getting very 2-wheeled through surtees at brands hatch!! And a sideways moment into the kitty litter on paddock hill was enough for me. Is it...

Off the forum yes... on cliosport chip puts his nazi jacket on before logging on ;)

Except bushes, arb, geo, steering overhaul, 4pots, -150kg in weight, roll cage, chassis stiffening, and added 25bhp. Donington lap time of 1:31 in the wet - on worn road tyres. Looking at last years tin top timing that's competitive even without a diff. I think we'll have to agree to disagree...

Nope mine were Recaro Speeds They were absolutely lush but cost £1200 I had them in my 106 GTi and then in the Clio - but when I got stuck on "must make track car" I flogged them. Regret it tbh.

PH1 are so much easier!!! Though you can't get 120mm trumpets in them :P

LMFAO yeah.. it had no problem keeping up with James' race car at Anglesey last year but I see what you mean :P (stop trying to wind me up)

Don't think there's much point. The seats maybe hold me a little bit better but the wheel doesn't make it any quicker and neither does the group N exhaust. Hahah no sorry mate.

That's because the old 70-300 didn't have USM and was s**t. People mix reviews up The new one has USM and the same IS system as used on the L lenses But that 55-250 at that price is INSANE. I'm even thinking of grabbing one to keep me going till I buy the L lens

I'll get some soon mate One goes into an existing bolt hole on the slam panel so you only have to drill one

It actually states in the instructions they're meant to be the other way round LOL. Something about stopping water running into them. But yeah I don't think it really matters

^ Yup I must admit selling my old recaros for fixed buckets was a bit daft - they were seriously comfy! I'm currently thinking a BTB exhaust with sports cat to quieten it down - sell the Group N, buy some recaros again and sell the buckets, swap the suede wheel for a leather one and put an...

I did look at putting them there - but the curve of the bonnet makes them look a bit funny and you have to fit them upside down which would have driven me nuts lol

Re: Compression Test - What's the easiest way to dissable the injection and ignition Or that - but it's hardly hard to pull a fuse Yes mate it's the bottom left one on the pic I attached.

Yeah - it's do-able with a good quality dremel and reinforced cutting discs but takes ages.

Have a browse through this -> http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=146426&page=100 You'll be selling stuff you don't need just to get it Every reviewer of it got so confused. It's 90% the quality of the 70-300L but at under 1/3rd the price

I might be popping up to see Mark soon mate - Want me to make a stencil of my bonnet? I actually got a spare bonnet, spent hours getting it spot on, then made a template and used that to transfer onto my bonnet for both sides. Only way you can get it mm perfect.

Good choice!

Well maybe ok for coastal blast. My mates are mostly up North and it's the sitting on motorway in uncomfy seats with no music that I hate. By the time I get there I'm too grumpy to do anything lol I did consider putting a stereo in it again and some recliners. I dunno. For now it's staying and...

Right screw it - can't do it. If I sell the Clio now just because I can't afford track days at the moment I'll be crying next year when I've got a load of spare cash. I'm going to cover her back up - over winter refresh the engine and fit a diff and some better tyres. For now I'm gonna...

Used to do a fair bit in it before ITB's - Anglesey, brands hatch twice, nurburgring, rockingham. But then the ITB's went on and my girlfriend quit her job to go back to uni and money was really tight - so I've done Anglesey again with James (bigash), half a day at Donington and Cadwell...

Including buying the car (which at the time was £3600) - it's been more like £12k I think last time I added up

Re: Compression Test - What's the easiest way to dissable the injection and ignition Pull the fuel pump fuse out Small green 30amp one in this pic - top left as you look at the fuse box in the engine bay

There's no rush and I would take an offer close.

:( If I hadn't had the cage welded in and the whole inside of the car painted I MIGHT have been able to bring myself to split it for parts and scrap the shell. But so much time and money has gone into making it look like a complete car it would destroy me ripping it all apart now :( I...

For those that haven't seen - this car is now up for sale http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?711375-Top-Spec-ITB-d-Clio-172-Cup Offers and trades considered - ideally I'd love an integra/civic or something jap I'm not taking silly money for it and at this point in time I'm not...

Sorry Tony. Unfortunately it just doesn't get used enough to justify the amount of money that's gone into it. I'd love to say next year I'll have a trailer and be at the french series with you guys.. but I just can't see it happening :(
