Haha yeah get 12 months ticket then start playing lol

Luckily mine being an early phase 2 172 it doesn’t have ESP so no yaw sensor. I believe you’ll need to keep it if you want the esp to work correctly. And removed the wire to handbrake cable, when you put the handbrake you’re giving it an earth so the light comes on on the dash, so no earth no...

Got the cage fitted and completed. Got a good mate of mine to weld in the spreader plates so it’s done properly. (Unlike the guy I sold a full cage too who just bolted it through the floor!) Happy that it’s in and done, oil change to go and she’s ready for mapping on the 15th July.

And the cage installation begins. Will be completed on Saturday.

Cheers mate! Just hope it’s worth it haha

Another small update today. Sorted out the niggly bits I need to get sorted before mapping, getting the exhaust clamps on properly and sorting some heat shielding out. Made a cardboard template for when the nimbus arrives and got a heat resistant sheathing for the starter cable that runs under...

And EFi is booked for mapping in July! I’ve now got the sparco cage to fit, and some door cards to make/fit. Then I just need to get some track tyres (Dunlop 03G direzzas) and it’ll be ready the first trackday. I haven’t managed to get the inlets matched but I’ll sort that out next year when I...

@Crazylegs not readily available anymore, @1985michael182 was kind enough to let me borrow his but I think he’s sold it now.

Yeah I think I’m just getting impatient to get it done. I’ve got a trailer now so don’t have to drive it there which is a good thing

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I’m thinking out loud here, so I’ve had the group n done but for obvious reasons I can’t get it mapped. Would I be mental to buy another key/uch/ecu that’s been mapped on an engine that’s had group n just to allow me to drive the car and make sure the engine is...

I didn’t get around to ordering last night, but it’s gone back up to £76 full price! Massive bargain as I’m sure it’ll fit

Try it lower case?

Think I might do too, I need new one as the seam is starting to split on mine. If it’s wrong I’m sure it can be returned

I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong but if it was right for £16 that’s a bargain!!

Not a lot has happened recently, now being back at work progress has slowed down massively. As I mentioned above my dad bought a 182 turbo which he has now taken delivery of. It does make some cool noises but I think I’d miss the scream of an N/a engine. (Plus when he’s bored of it I’ll most...

Cooksports or grams springs are the favourites I think. This was my 182 on cooksports It also had spacers but can’t remember what size they were

That’s what I’m saying we all know they aren’t safe but the governing body deems them to be safe. For me it’s cage mounted harness bar for harnesses or don’t have them. Equally I won’t drive a stripped out car without a cage just not worth it.

The best thing is when you go to club race meetings and it’s full of people with incorrectly mounted harnesses that have been passed by scrutineering.

4.5k I believe, good money for the spec on it. Can’t wait to have a go in it.

Today I’ve welcomed another Clio into the family. I think my dad was feeling left out so he’s bought a 182 turbo so we can go to track days together next year and have some fun. Looking forward to developing the cars side by side.

Miss mine so much, might have only been a wrx but loved it. Will get another one day!

Depends what the car is used for? If solely a road car I’d go for the standard febi replacements which will be miles better than 10+ year old bushes. If it’s part road/part track day I’d go powerflex purple but full on race car black series powerflex.

So not much of an update recently. I have hopefully bought a full sparco bolt in cage for the princely sum of £300 and it’s FIA approved so could in theory be used for racing (not that I’m going too) will be fine for track days though. A good friend of mine is going to weld in the spreader...

Haha 100%. To be fair I raced a k series engined car for 6 years and the headgasket never failed on any of them.

I hope it’s not banned on tracks half the MG race series use it in there race cars, good old rover k series aye 😂😂

Previous owner had it put in my Impreza and I never had any issues. But they are pretty known for headgasket issues. I wouldnt use it in a clio imo

I’d be all over this but after having a 7 plus for 3 years I don’t think I could go back down to a smaller screen

So a quick update today, removed the unnecessary wiring from the body loom. Airbag and radio wiring removed and plugs/wiring removed that were in the loom but not spec’d with. Worth it just to make the loom look tidier even though it’ll be behind the dash. thanks to @GrahamS for sending the...

Cool cheers @Bilb123. I cable tied all the airbag wires up behind dash today along with moving the ecu and it just looks messy. The car will only have 1 more mot before itll become full on trailer queen track car so i can get round the light being on. Cheers 👍🏻
