The less said the better...I made a fuss in when I came to pay and she referred me to a prices chart...I was not impressed. I was only there around 10 minutes tops!
Got mugged off for a medical today at my GP! £101 they charged me absolutely nothing I could do as they had signed and stamped my form I was not happy considering I though it was going to be around £70....never mind lesson learnt.
Will get some pictures of the car at the weekend, hopefully will...
Yeah that's the one Custom Cages Clubman. Comes in a fair few bits and a DVD and images to fix it.
Not sure if you know it says you have to send a test piece off can anyone confirm this?
Past the ARDS test today hung around at Oulton park abit met a lad who I have seen before cannot remember his name though (Silver 172 having alternator problems)
Been up to see the Clio today hopefuly getting started this week.
I plan to, it's currently with the guy who is fitting a few other bits for me however he is an older guy and not sure if he has the time to do it....so i am prepared to give it a go with a friend who does welding for a living!
@NorthloopCup
Car went into the garage today to start fitting bits and bobs!
Received the cage and it looks.....confusing!! Has some good advice from people who have this cage so will attempt to get some pictures along the way.

So the car is going to a local race car specialist (literally 1 mile away from my house) he deals with chevron race cars and builds a lot from chassi up he also looks after 2 seats which race in 24h endurance series. He has offered to support me with fitting cage, seating position, wiring loom...
Ahh right I was looking at the 200bhp/tonne class. The tracks are really appealing the next one is August 6/7 at Cadwell I am trying to be ready for them but it will be a push!
Yeah I have filled it all out just waiting to get back got from holiday then got my doctors app for my medical... Then ARDS on the 8th!
@sonny172cup did you get charged for your medical at the doctors?
@Mash. In the go racing pack you get a DvD just watched that the s tidy the flags in the little book you get and as @sonny172cup says it's mainly safety related according to people I speak to.
@182_Ads cage has already sold unfortunately, I will message you if the sale falls through though...
No update on this just yet as I am on holiday! However few things have been arriving at home....full cage from customer cages, my new seat.
Hopefully all ready to go in be car 1st July!
However while out in Cuba I have been getting ideas on a dash from an old American Chevy......
Like I said I have purchased a lot from JJC and they were doing me 4 for £54 I think + VAT so not to bad! But then they have been doing me some good deals on a lot of bits and bobs
Yeah when ordering them from JJC I have got 2 for now to meet 2016 regs but rightly so 4 are required for 2017, and the guy suggested bolt through the plate that I have circuled with a back plate. The wire toe hooks have come and they are a nice piece of kit!
Ordered the Custom Cage today should be here within 3 weeks! So hopefully if all goes well could be ready for racing in August.
May need to call of a few peoples expertise with fitting cages as it does go behind the dash!
Update 13/6
So tonight I set about removing my old eBay cage and bucket seat from the car, this was a laugh as I forgot how awkward they are to handle inside a Clio! I will save he clean up until tomorrow night and then probably going to use some hammerite paint to do the inside nothing fancy...
Have to let me know what is like I am open to anything!!
I am hopefully going to be up and running August time so hopeful to get a few races in towards the end of the year and new parts over winter with a few cheap track days to sort things out!
What did you think of the ARDS? Oulton is my local track so I know it well. Not had chance to watch the DvD you get sent as of yet.
Really not sure yet open to options so far I have looked at Trocolre trophy, 750 motor Club (Hot Hatch), MSV Trackday trophy or Trackday championship.
What do you...
So I have been on here a while and been toying with the idea of racing the Clio.
I have been doing Trackdays for a few years and as some of you may know the car goes very well.
I have just purchased all the bits required for turning my Clio into racing spec (new seat, harness etc etc)
ARDS...
