Yeah I've been realistic with what I need and how much it'll cost for the required bits so I should be alright, the biggest chunk of money is the cage really and that's going to start being built Monday coming. At the moment I havent sorted anyone as a second driver, I've put it to a couple of...

Lol, you cheeky shite! You'll have a pm regarding a saxo build...

So after owning the clio for almost 3 years now and getting the trackday bug i'm looking for something a little bit more than trackdays. After going to watch Jay and Tony (Burpspeed) at the CSCC Tintops i've decided to turn my 172 Cup from a trackday car to a racecar for this competition, as...

Fletch for the money you'll spend buying it and modifying it to fit, you may as well get a custom cage like I am. It'll be fia approved, have more cage to it as well as being better structural wise (pick up point on rear shocks and b pillar gussets). And above all else it'll be lighter than the...

Yeah we saw that BMW Dan! Confused me as there's bearly a bend where he crashed! :s

Lets try and get a big group for this evening and have a close as can be 11 a side match! 1. Mike 2. Dave 3. Kris 4. Bigman 5. Littlelady 6. Nick172Cup

Good little write up there! Like you've said the car was very tail happy and even Tony was having to fight it, so once you've sorted that its one less thing to worry about and focus more on chasing them damn Hondas! :) Was quite surprised at how the leading Hondas weren't a lot quicker than you...

Cheers for the info chaps! Tbf with any wheel there's always potential for cracks/bends unless you spend thousands, so at least if I bend a sub £100 wheel its better than bending one like a OZ Super/Ultraleggera thats worth £250 plus! Im sure also that rimstyle would give a pretty good...

Not too bad weightwise, will have to find out what the 2118 weight is now and see if its worth the gains. Chris - Want 3 sets of wheels as i'm looking to go racing the season after next! Want to join me? ;)

Anyone have any info? Looking at punting the 2 sets of 2118s on I have and getting 3 sets of the wheels above. Cheers Nick

Was good to come and see what goes on in the background rather than just the racing, cheers Tony and Jay for giving Ollie, Tom and I a good insight as to what needs doing etc. Its a lot more than you think! Well done with the racing also, did well seeing as the car was a 'handful'! There wasnt...

Top work Paul, looks like an animal! Might be coming up in the coming months to see if you stretch a few more ponies from the Cup, and would like a passenger ride in this! ;) Lol I have a good idea about who that is! If he was as good as he makes himself out to be, then why was he dropped by...

Disagree, the FK Konigsports that I have on mine are far greater than the Ktec/Raceland/Vmaxx etc etc. For the money and adjustability the FK Konig's are well worth the money.

Lol, should be Tom's and my money I think, yet to see you down there working on it yet ;)

Completely agree, some say there good for being 'progessive'. How about just brake smarter? lol The only way your going to be able to brake harder is with better tyres, funny that people on here buy 4pots for better allround braking but then run average joe tyres!

Go with some CL's Kev, had some on the Cup and they were fantastic! All this rubbish about falling apart still is nonsense, agreed there was a bad batch however that was ages ago... Havent tried these PF97's but may well do soon, seems like the perfect upgrade to the CL's without wasting money...

Beautiful, not keen on the colour and stickers but other than that prefect! 500bhp as well from a 6cylinder n/a is awesome!

Lol oi you lot of bitches! Get out of my thread with your spam and do it in the 'Tom and Ollies' race car thread ;) Tbf with the way things are going with the Cup Ollie, I might brave it and get a race license :)

On mine the rears are wound all the way down and the fronts pretty low also, mine looks more nose down in terms of looks also.

Just seemed weird as I know the fk's can go reasonably stiff and thought it would give it quite a bit of understeer being that stiff. I use my fk's near on fully stiff on the rear and almost fully soft on the front, doesn't seem to feel sloppy but gives a very sharp turn in. Out of interest...

You run the front that stiff?

What do want to know? Height? Dampening? Camber? Toe?

Cheers chap! Should be some good updates coming within the this month and next also! :)

Looking good Davino! Nice to see a proper trophy thats used also, unlike these 'detailed and never driven' ones!

Not a fan of red wheels, especially on a monaco as they dont even compliment each other. Has turned this car from a nicely done subtle car to a 'look at me!' silly looking car.

Tbf Tim, you were in the way all day!

Seeing as there all fixed damping and no doubt not alot greater than each other i'd just go with the vmaxxs as there the cheapest. Had them on my car before the FK Konigsports and were alright on the road and average on track as there pretty soft.

Yeah John, think everyones games again. Get a list going again... 1. John +2 2. Nick 3.

Yeah saw that on the tele yesterday Ollie, that made a mess also!
