    https://www.msauk.org/assets/rulechangesseptember2016.pdf If Iv read correctly, its now List 1A tyres only for sprints & hillclimbs in road going class? I may have picked it up wrong

    Spec Me : Track Day/Sprint Tyres

    What tyres would folk like to see moved into 1B? I only started this year so hasnt effected me as much as it has others. Had heard that boys werent getting the same times with 888's this year as they were last year (unsure what tyres they were on last year but wasnt 888's)

    Spec Me : Track Day/Sprint Tyres

    Few run the maxxsport's in my class in the scottish series, seem to get good results All the rest run 888's, Iv got R1R's as I was keeping costs low this year and already had two. They'll become my wet tyre once I upgrade to a stickier tyre. 2Wonder if there will be any changes for next year...

    Road Legal or Trailered Track Car

    Trailered for me but still kept road legal for the sprint / hillclimb class I compete in. Trailer it for the same reasons as others above. Can also make some cash on the side with the trailer aswell if you own one and have a tow vehicle

    Harness Spreader Plates

    I did consider that option, of using the Schroth B23A attachments and that bolt for the seat subframe but seen a few people advise against using the same mounting points incase anything was to happen to the seat. That was my backup plan and thought Id give it a go with the spreader plates and a...

    Harness Spreader Plates

    Fitting harness spreader plates today for the inside lap belt point, both lined up and marked trying to fit them in as best as possible. Problem is, the surface below isnt flush for mounting them on. Didnt want to trim the plate down at first but I gave it a go to see if it helped and it sits...

    Not on a clio, but the Clio will be on the trailer :laughing: Looking to replace some lights on my ifor williams car transporter for LED items, mainly the rear lamps and number plate lamps. Side markers I was planning doing at a later date. Id read on a few sites that running LED and normal...

    Phase 1 Harness Fitting

    I am about to fit my seats and harness's into my phase 1 clio. I have done some research into this, and have a few questions. Going by guidelines, using the rear lower seat belt points creates too small an angle going by diagrams. I have seen talk of using the top mount on the top, where the...

    Simple Battery Isolator

    Had read a lot of people use them and feed back in via cigarette lighter. Problem is I'll be trying to store the car inside as much as possible (granted it did spend most its time outside this year but that was till I got some space cleared that I could use and leave it without being in someones...

    Simple Battery Isolator

    There is power, but being on a farm in a shed Im a bit wary of leaving a battery connected and a constant power supply connected up just incase. Will throw a charger on it every wee while when Im around to keep on top of it. And definately no bear strength here when tightening battery terminals...

    Simple Battery Isolator

    On both cars its been the negative earth clamp that has been poor, fully tightened up and it can still be rotated easily and probably pulled off if enough force is applied

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    Iv used them on paint for years. Ordered some from a local detailing supplier and the cloths he supplied / uses are the exact same pile thickness as the Costco ones. Granted you do get thicker ones but theres nothing wrong with the smaller, less plush ones. I find them a lot easier to work with...

    Simple Battery Isolator

    The neg terminal is a rubbish fit anyway, I found that before on a dci clio aswell. Is it a common thing or odd sized terminals?

    Simple Battery Isolator

    Having a trawl around and seems that this is the ideal solution that Im looking for. Anyone used them? Seem to get good reviews, simple and effective http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0019ULCPW/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Would use it without the fusible link as no need for radio memory or to leave the...

    Simple Battery Isolator

    Lithium Ion Battery

    At this stage Im pretty sure fitting the battery in the car isnt an option as I'll be entering in road going production class. Otherwise battery relocation wouldve been quite high on my to do list. Probably wont happen unless I go for modified class

    Lithium Ion Battery

    May take one step at a time and go for an oddysey which is 7kgs but still lighter than standard and then maybe upgrade to li ion at a later date Thanks for the advice / experiences

    Towing track/race car

    Parkers site is good for towing weights. Also, you should be able to find out the weight of your trailer from your manufacturers website. Theres also the licence side of it aswell, depending when you passed your test you may need to sit an additional test to tow over 3500kg combined weight (tow...

    Trackday only trolley jack

    I use the costco aluminium one. Compared to my 3 tonne SGS one its as light as a feather! Costco one is sturdy enough for alot of use at home, yet isnt too big to throw in the boot to bring along to a track day / sprint & hillclimb And with it being a decent jack, I dont have to worry about...

    Is RS Tuner worth price?

    How much does it raise the rev limit by? I presume its safe and no supporting mods required to accomodate the raised limit? I'll be competing in sprints / hillclimbs next year and thinking thag extra revs may be handy for times when its not worth changing up a gear on short, twisty sprints

    Seat belt eye bolts

    Iv been looking into this lately and seems to be fine either way. Some weld it to hold it in place as well as just having it sandwiched through, more somif you plan on unbolting the eyelet so that you dont need a 2nd pair of hands below the car Some just weld the plate itself into the car on the...

    Car set up in Scotland

    Good to hear, bit far for me to go for usual stuff and setting up but for anything more serious such as a rebuild I would consider them

    Show me your decals/stickers

    Car looks spot on Neil A, seen the same ones in anthracite on a silver ph1. What wheels is that? Look a little like rota slipstreams but hard to tell obviously with movement

    Best tyres from List 1A MSA Bluebook 2015

    For the toyo fans is the R1R not allowed? Seen folk use them as wets for track days etc as their good in the wet as well as dry Im still currently trying to decide on a set of tyres for sprint/hillclimbs aswell. Been looking at the usual Nankangs and Federals and will keep my R1Rs I have just...

    Fast Road / Sprint & Track Tyres

    Car wont be used in winter so least that opens up the option a bit more. Hoping to be running two sets next year so can go for something more track focused and like you say have something for wet days / road tyre. Other option Id thought if for purely track was Kumho V70 in a soft compound. All...
