Interesting I am sticking with standard at the minute as have just fitted new pump and pressure switch so will see how this goes.
Thanks for the information, are you going to Oulton in October....I will have a look
I am thinking of doing it just seems abit of a nghtmare I will have a read of his thread. I am just having a few issues with the pressure switch and pump which seem to be a common fault.
Like @Scottty4eva said we are looking to get sorted for next season. My car is in working order compared to Scott's (Current spec can be seen in the Tin Top thread i started in the Race/Track car section on here.
He will keep the build thread going and I will chip in now and again as my car...
Well mine is just needs a few changes such as new inlet/bodies plastic windows and a few other touch ups
My mate has a is a proper mechanic does a lot for ford tuning (RS/ST) so I think we will be doing his best we can as he currently has a 172 she'll and engine with only a few bits on!
@Tony...
Me and a friend will hopefully be joining next season, trying to get 2 cars in sponsored by his garage just need to plan how far we are going to go with them the spec of my car is the one I mentioned in this thread, his is similar but has a remap and few other little bits.
@Tony Hunter with...
No worries @-D4N-
Me and a mate are actually trying to bring 2 cars to the championship next year, we both currently have cars a similar spec to mine listed above so only a few things to change
@Tony Hunter that is very good going have you a link to the spec of your car? Thanks
My mate has just bought a Saxo vtr/vts conversion not bad condition all running apart from alternator not charging battery.... £400 (good price for condition)
Anyone know best place to get parts from or know anyone who is selling parts could let me know that would be great.
Or if anyone has...
Ahh right okay so really for me it's make the saftey to the 'blue book' then technically I could enter but may not be competitive in the class if people are on boddies ect ect
@sonny172cup
Think I have just watched some of your videos on Facebook, trying to figure of what sort of lap times are...
Ignore the last bit about regs just realised class A is the modified class....think I will come down to one at some point will have a look at the calendar, it's just getting my head around what I need extra and what I have to change so I can have a look around
I'm in Cheshire mate around 10 mins from Oulton Park... I go cadwell often for my track days but it is a journey over there...
Ahh right okay few things will need to be changed then will have to have a read.
The regs for the standard class located on the same page?
So it's currently
Half cage - ( I know I would need full MsA cage)
Front and rear strut brace
RARB
Standard engine -(upgrade panel filter)
Brembo HC discs + carbon Lorraine Rc6 pads (front) RC5 pads (rear)
888 tyres (dry) federal rsr (damp/wet)
Front 12mm wheel spacers
Solid engine...
Brilliant thanks for this, so you are in the A class in guessing?
How many are normally at the race meetings? I'm going to see how much I need to do to the car as I currently have it set up for track use only but from reading the regs I may need to change a few things
Maybe a silly question but I may start racing my Clio however I am trying to find out what I would be allowed to go in....
I have a Clio 172 cup currently stripped out and few other mods not to bothered about that for now I can sort those things out.
What I am looking for is what championship...
So my power steering pressure switch has blown after track day at Cadwell now after sourcing a second hand one that was working fine has now cracked after a track day at oulton!
Any idea why they are going so easy cousin it be the age of them? I have checked all the pipes to make sure they are...
I would imagine the back would be expensive and j have never seen anyone with the back window done?
@Daniel have you stripped all your door card then and got all the mechanism out?
Maybe abit of a silly question but I have a Clio that I use just for track.
What sort of saving is the weight from poly windows?
Also how do they fit as I cannot seem to get my head around it!
Cheers Josh
I wouldn't mind a few stickers but I don't like loads or massive stickers but would happily consider a number / abit of advertising to go in rear window etc
