    clio 172 (not cup)owners, help needed

    Go to a dealer, borrow a bolt (theyre probably the same for every Clio) model, and see!

    clio 172 (not cup)owners, help needed

    Its easily long enough to hold the spare wheel and the toolkit. The wheel has to be upside-down (outside of wheel facing down), to give the toolkit somewhere to live.

    172 vs mr2

    We had a Cliosport trackday at Bedford a couple of years ago, and we invited a couple of non-Clios to make up the numbers. One of them was an MR2 Mk2, 2.0 16v manual. It was absolute cannon-fodder in every department.

    Advice: Seat Cleaning

    There are lots of automotive products thatll cost you a bomb and probably work well. I had a nasty stain on one of my seats and used Mr Muscle Carpet & Upholstery cleaner (cost nothing - I found it in the cupboard under the sink). It worked a treat :D

    turbo’d 172’s

    LOL but hes right - why bother trying to turbo a 172 engine when you can drop a purpose built unit in.

    182 rules on the track

    Nice one sounds great. Been meaning to do Anglesey for ages. Next time get some Yokohama A048R or A032R tyres and youll be a couple of seconds a lap faster still!

    Trackday helmet question

    The sticker you are looking for should say: BSI BS 6658-85 Type A Take no notice of the motorbike oriented stickers - bikers have different requirements than we do. Open face helmets are fine by the way - ask any rally / BTCC driver.

    first trackday

    Start at around 32. You will probably trash the tyres (depends which track youre doing). If youre going to do a lot of trackdays you might want to think about getting an alternative set of wheels so that you can use tyres which are cheaper and better suited to the job. You can get a set of 6...

    first trackday

    Your front pressures are critical - check them when you start and after your first session - if they stray above 36psi theyre too high. If its damp you can have great fun with the lift-off oversteer - just dab the brakes in a corner... The car will spin on the limit just like a rwd. Keep an...

    You can get Toyos or Yokohamas for around £40 a corner. Either is fine.

    Nurburgring

    Went a couple of years ago with a load of people from here. Kinda weird place - just park your car, buy a ticket and off you go. Nothing like a regular trackday - nobody checking for helmets, no briefing, cars & bikes (& busses!) on the track together. Great fun though and not at all...
