Been through various steering wheels now Started off with a OMP suade wheel with omp boss Turned out to be fake and soft as shut so as it was dangerous it went in the bin and put a momo race wheel in I had in the garage Didn’t like the feel so I got a genuine OMP 300mm steering wheel this...

I didn’t get on with the cup front seats as they dug in my back and actually still pretty heavy. Swapped them out for corbeau boss recliner seats as I had them sitting around. Drivers seat on a Jon z xlow seat base and passenger on a sparco base as I didn’t like the sparco base on the drivers...

Next up the brakes Ever since I got it I found the brakes rubbish Decided to get a fast road setup as mainly what I’m using it for at the moment . Evora slotted discs Mintex m1144 pads front Standard rear pads ATE super 2000 fluid New seals in calipers Old disks where completely shot...

I then started to try and clean it up a bit and sort out stuff that had been not sorted as financial issues for my brother. First up was the induction kit that was in a bit of a state. The filter was destroyed inside and glad I caught it before my engine decided to eat it. Painted it up...

First up was to remove the horrible broken thumb inserts Really helped the feel of the car. I then started to really like the car!

Hi I thought I would start a project thread for my old nail. I got it from my brother who had kept it 5 years and covered 20k in it but didn’t believe in condoms so child number 3 meant he could have a grand scenic instead ? £2000 later I had a FSH 54k cup ? Anyway here is what it looked like...

Looks mega tidy! Great work

Absolutely awesome work Tom. Just out interest what made you pick a clio over say a m3? You clearly have driven some impressive cars so does the Clio still cut it?

Definitely not! Maybe that direct ram air induction works?

What power did you make? I can’t see two pictures so apologies if you put a graph up

Il aim for the same class as Graham if I can as it gives me head room to improve and most my modifications are allowed

Well it's more the fact my car is already modified so might cost more to make standard!

Oh I see That makes things easier. As I say I want to build a competitive car but not break the rules. I imagine I will end up running against you at some point anyway

I was reading through the blue book today and it says for road going class it says diff/gearbox engine has to be original or optional extra where's modified says they are free! I am already confused

That is mighty achievement beating such a well setup car with more power and a LSD with better tyres! Very well done.

Not at all. I am very great full for the help. I want to make sure I have a competitive car but I totally agree in keeping in the rule books. Are LSD, cams etc allowed in this category?

I am in Maidenhead Berkshire I am looking to join the ACSMC as most events seam close.

I totally agree the blue book is fairly straightforward but being as I haven't competed I am unsure of tricks of the trade.

Well I doubt anyone will be worried about my car or me! New to motorsport, budget Clio with less power and extras than most and hefty weight penalty in regards driver

Ok so I will have to source a rear wiper for my cup as the previous owner ditched it. I currently have a race battery in the original position so it can stay there. You can fit fiberglass boot and bonnet in the road modified as long as they don't have vents in and properly secured is this...

Hi What a wonderful car I am thinking if following a similar route with my 172 cup, I take it rear wiper,fog lights etc have to be on the car? I see you are struggling with gearbox ratios, would a 172 cup box with its shorter ratios be better? Do things like battery relocation and race...

Ye ah but they are completely useless

They are much more comfortable than the normal rock cloth that goes on normal bucket seats

Next update More interior stuff I decided to fit some recliner seats I had bought for my M3 but changed my mind so had them sitting around and the cup seats where hard to slide and felt loose on the mech so I bought some sparco seat bases and tried these out From these barely bolted down I.e...

Update Done some more interior upgrades First up was to try and deal with the nasty steering wheel. Now the obvious choice would be to put a aftermarket one in but I wanted to keep the airbag to protect my pretty face. The thumb grips there dead like horrible to drive. so I bought some...

Haha il be keeping the cup. The civic was pretty ropey

I have a m3 for more power just like the cheap thrills of a hot hatch. I have these seats waiting for the Clio just need frames

I'm a big guy and the Clio is a bit small
