So in simple terms - as below?

Right, I’m down with the clio now. Disc off I can see a lot more what is going on as below images. The disc spacer has a concave and flat side to it. I had it in with the concave edge against the hub. This is allowing the disc to sit closer to the top of the nut which has then scored the back...

Brand new discs so I hope not. I’ll have a look later today and see what’s going on.

I’ll inspect a bit further tomorrow and get the hub nut off so I can get behind and see what’s going on. It’s definitely something to do with the first picture as there was a lot of swarf about. Is that the head of a bolt what I have circled?

This is them isn’t it?

Where can I buy those spacers just out of interest?

I did put them back on but they weren’t new ones. You reckon that’s the issue? It would make sense. Just out of interest, what is the bit I have circled in the first pic that is rubbing on the disc and why would the spacer make it do this? I have very little mechanical knowledge so I...

So I previously mentioned about ending the day early at Blyton due to an grinding noise from the rear. Just taken wheel off on rear left to inspect. I could see a lot of swarf at the rear of the disc and noticed the bit circled in the first pic has scored a line in the rear of the disc (second...

Definitely needs something lol. I don’t know the names of the bends but the one after the first chicane…. Long swooping left onto the back straight, it’s literally “pogoing” around there 😂 So much fun at Blyton though I love it.

Few photos from Blyton on Saturday…

First day out of the year and it was a Cracking day at Blyton Park. Weather was perfect and 4 TDs in, my rainsport 5 still remain in tyre bags for another day 😂 Clio went well after having belts, brakes and tracking all changed over the winter. Handling was so much more positive and responsive...

Is working fine now. Unlocked and locked it a few times, rejigged battery connections and is all good. Very strange.

I didn’t check that and I’m not with the car now. What could be the issue if it was that?

Tried starting up the clio to give it a warm up ready for a track day next weekend. Recently had belts done and drive fine however now it won’t start! On turn of the key it will try to fire however engine wont fire up. Have checked and injectors and they aren’t sending fuel. Ideas?

Still have these for sale Tom?

No need to be a hero mate. Take it easy and enjoy yourself, that’s what it’s all about 👍

Now you tell me 😂 This will have to do for now until I break a wishbone

Nothing I can mess with to adjust the caster. Does feel a lot better for the short journey on the road so thanks for the heads up on the camber / toe

@Jekyll are you going this year? Just planning ancillaries and wondering if I need ear defenders to cope with your snoring disability.

Tracking, camber and toe done this morning. Had the AR1 on and then it started to snow. Fun times!

Red Button

Blyton has been re surfaced from what I have heard. Or at least sections of it have

Forgot you don’t get on with Blyton do you 😂 Cadwell sounds good. I’ve not done it yet to be fair.

Forgot you were on here. Evening in April sounds like a plan. Looking at Blyton in March, what you reckon?

Just been a picked it up. Feels a lot more responsive and the tickover is a lot more even. PBS prorace pads feel very bitey and sharp. Noticed more squeek an and rattles driving it on the road for the day but then I guess I’m only ever giving it death on track so is way to noisy to even...

No, I don’t have a clio on the road anymore, only for track so I don’t have speakers at all. Or door cards for that matter 😂

Who’s had it then lol.

Are you bringing it to CSF?

Sound. Be good to do Oulton as I’ve not been with this car yet.

You won’t need to cut much. What do you mean waterproofing? Second hand door cards are to the penny now as they have all been ripped out for track cars so would be an easy job just to have a second set of door cards to cut into
