Next year should be great if everything goes to plan! I've got some fibreglass doors to fit, I've ordered a fibreglass boot in the group buy and I'll order some polycarbonate windows in the new year. That'll be my weight loss sorted. Unfortunately I have no fabrication and machining equipment...

I went from Koni adjustables with Cooksport springs to ASTs with 400lb front and 285lb rear springs. I didn't notice much difference in compliance but on track its like night and day. Very good coilovers. I live on a peninsula between two beaches so I have corrosion worries but so far they've...

Got my cage from Mark Fish today, I went for the full safety devices cage with single removable door bars and removable diagonal and harness bar. Like this, but in black... Also I trial fitted my brake bells, tweaked the CSKs for the standard mounting bolts and gave them a lick of black VHT...

For an all rounder Yokohama AD08R are the best I've used, 2nd place Federal RSR. In the dry only, DZ03G followed by Kumho V70A/V700

Black on black looks awesome!

Racing a 5 with no cage....death wish

Goes well :)

Fair play, that's a lot from a 1.6

Cup looks tidy :) What's the full spec of the 106 engine? I'm guessing it's a GTI6 engine?

Looks good, nice low mileage too! It would be worth refreshing bushes and shocks (get the 172 cup front and 182 rear) whilst doing the springs, it'll make it a completely different car :)

If you look at the graph it's down over the standard inlet between 4-5k rpm and then better from 5-7.5k rpm. You go buy your 225 and then I'll show you who's faster :wink:

Lol! It's faster where it needs to be. Overall area under the curve is greater with ITBs and that makes it faster. If you want power below the point where you use it on track why not just buy a diesel....

I overlayed my results a while back. The engine has cams and headwork, 182 manifold, sports cat and twin silencer exhaust. Before had matched inlets and ITG filter, after with with a KTEC ITB kit and my custom angled trumpets.

I still use plastic spigots on track, no problems so far. I've done about 10 track days on them and it gets used properly ;) Put it this way the DS2500 pads glazed, the discs were blue but the plastic spigots were fine.

I paid £360 posted from mine from Top Gear. Last time I looked tweeks had them for £380-420 ish

I like mine! They definitely need a set of good cams though. Either piper 285 or catcams 421 would be my choice although you may need a slightly raised idle speed. Make sure you take it to someone who knows what they're doing and you shouldn't have any problems. I find mine pretty quiet...

FYI the lightest wheels easily obtainable for reasonable money are OZ ultra leggera which are 5.4kg in Clio fitment and are ET37.

No they're advertised at 6.2 but that's for a bare wheel with no centre cap, maximum centre bore and 5 studs and ET45. The higher the ET number the further in the arch it sits. ET35 is the best option IMO

TD 1.2 are 6.7kg in ET35 then take off around 100g per 5mm e.g 6.6kg ET40

Looks nice. 2118 weigh 7.2kg

Mine doesn't use any. Haven't had to top it up in the 2 years and several track days I've had it.

If you're going to do cams then fit something better than 428s! The ITB kit you're looking at is good value.

I like the wheels, but that's only because I know what they are! I do like the EP3. A bit of weight loss and that will be quicker than a Clio I reckon.

We need to get out on track @Chi and make some BWARRRRP ITB noises :)

Yes

They don't!

Cool car! I'd love a Rallye. Glad to see its the S1, I prefer them to the S2.

I had to bed my CL pads in on track!

Yeah they are very good, all you need to go with them are the normal Brembo HC discs around £40-50. I need to build a new garage, that's the plan for next winter. I've got a car port to keep the car under but it's not wide enough to open the doors fully. I feel your pain with winter car work!

25mm inner 23mm outer I think
