I think you mean she - and f**k that
I'm struggling to be honest mate to drive the clio fast - the fooking thing understeers like a b**ch
In the old 106 you could come up to a corner - lift off, tail went happy - aim round the corner and nail it and it pulled itself out with speed
The clio...
Same issue we had with the 106owners ones.. fecking chav-fest
Everyone at the front was doing a steady constant speed and everyone at the back was slowing right down then nailing it
If you want to go fast - book a track session - muppets!
Yeah don't worry mate - I'm putting another one of those megafuse boxes in the boot - so it's fused at both ends.
It was only £15 for the box and fuse so be daft not too :)
Quick video from early on in the 3hr session at FCS
Not the best driving - been a while since I've done Rockingham
Oh and Uniroyal Rainsports might be good on the road - but worst I've ever had on track. The front are completely shot now - they were new 2 months ago
Front right one is bald...
This was my last FCS for various reasons
LIKED The track. It's a good track and good fun. People were very well behaved on the 3hr open pit session and it was fun. Although quite expensive compared to other track days.
DISLIKED
The place was empty - it was like a tesco car park. There was just...
It's bolted to a metal bar across from both seat belt mounts - made it myself
It's not a sucker mount to should be fine for track days
Next month I'm getting a cage so it will be mounted on the cage then
Yeah I know mate - it won't be there when I'm on track - I just forgot lol
Yeah the...
If you plan on using it outside the glossy screen is a bag of s**t - you need to get the matt screen or all you can see is your own reflection!
And if it's your main machine - I'd go for the 15"
I got the 15" a year ago and chucked an 8gb crucial memory kit in it for £60 - it flies.
Girlfriend...
Me?
Currently got Recaro Speed seats in leather and blue alcantara
Harnesses are 4 point 3" OMP ones
Seats and harnesses are likely gonna be sold next month though when I get my cage

Can't recommend the company enough
It's a foreign company with a UK warehouse - but it turned up in under 24hours brand new - awesome! :D
I bought the LCD back for it for £89 from Jessops - it is fairly...
Lovely pics these mate - Did you ever upload the video anywhere?
Riley - car's looking awesome. I've seen you a few times in town and waved but you're always focused on driving lol
How the what now?? LOL
How did you mount it to a bucket seat? And also - you're a brave man lol
I was gonna mount my 7D there with my 17-40L - but I don't think I could push the car hard knowing there's £1800 of camera wobbling about on a B&Q metal bar lol
I keep seeing Riley around Lincoln -...
They're bloody expensive - but the quality is insane
720p does 60fps as well for slow-mo shots!!
The sucker mount is really nicely built - feels like I could pull the door off the car with it - not much chance of it falling off
Gonna clean the car tomorrow ready for FCS then mount it down...

My DIY camera mount seemed to work well at Brands Hatch - but my little point and shoot only does 640x480 and my Canon 7D is too heavy to mount there lol
I've wanted a GoPro HD for years - I think the angles and fun you can have with them is awesome - so I went out and got on - got the LCD...
JD - no offense as you obviously have experience. But I wet sanded mine to 1500 then polished with scratch x using a cheap drill attachment and the lights are like new
Saying they'll be dull and not work and cost the owner a fortune isn't really accurate when everyone has had good results...
Ahh right ok cheers mate
The track rod ends are brand new
I think I'll replace all the bushes and the bottom ball joints and see what it's like then. I'll leave the inner rods as a last job if the rest fails to cure it :)
The steering on my clio isn't as 'tight' as I would like
There seems to be a lot of turning of the steering wheel before it actually turns.
Compared to my old 106gti which a twitch of the steering wheel would throw you across the road...
I've fitted new track rod ends - as they were...
My cup is in the process of being stripped for track abuse - and next year I'm planning on entering a race series with it
Tonight I took all the carpet and sound deadening out the front
I got to the airbag ecu and figured I might as well bin it as I don't have any air bags in the car any...
