Of course. I was looking at Roadsports regs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah yes you're right, Stock Hatch. They must have introduced Hot Hatch since I last looked. You're going to sit comfortably in Class B by the looks of it. Possibly with a bit of ballast?

Just had a look at the regs. It's completely changed since I last raced with them! As has Roadsports. Hot Hatch used to be basically just Saxos and Fiestas. Looks quite interesting now, although potentially up against rearwheel drive BMs as well.

My Clio was never eligible for the Hot Hatch series although its probably 3 years since I raced in it. The only one I could enter in 750MC was Roadsports. What have they changed?

Fair enough. I assumed you'd have to comply to MSA rules just like circuit racing. They do have lists for off road but I guess that is the WRC stuff like you say.

Silverstones have been removed from the Blue Book list now haven't they?

With the engine idling (and obviously misfiring) unplug each one in turn. If you unplug a good one the engine will misfire even worse. When you unplug the dead one the engine won’t change. Don’t be tempted to buy cheap ones off eBay. Genuine ones are about £40 each I think. If you can stretch...

Almost certainly an injector. Easy to diagnose by unplugging each one at a time while engine is running. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, mine are quite loose but they can't go anywhere so I haven't been too worried about it.

No. They’re fine as they are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PMS one is excellent quality and 5 way adjustable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are talking about Clio 1*2 (172 or 182) then they don’t have a rear ARB as standard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can take it out through the top easily enough. You’ll need to remove the radiator really. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Position-wise that's pretty much exactly the same as mine. Except I had the kit with no bulkhead connectors, so I just had the lines running through grommets which gave them a bit more adjustment. (not a very good photo I'm afraid)

Thanks Rob (great name!) These sites are great for learning stuff aren't they. I think I must be subscribed to about 20 different build threads on here. You can never know enough! Happy to help if you have any questions. I can't guarantee I'll have all the answers but 2 heads are better than...

Ordered from these guys. https://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk/ 4mm with brushed finish but they only cut to square sizes, so I had to cut the circle out of it. They're quite local to me so I collected but they do deliver of course.

Getting seat position right is one of the most difficult tasks on a race car. This looks good though. Is it fairly central to the steering wheel where you have it?

Jump on to the CSCC Tin Tops Facebook page. Loads of helpful people on there. By far the best club to start racing with too.

Maybe Silverstone in May? I'm always looking for pit crew. ;)

I use these to hold the splitter on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Fairing-Clips-m5-m6-Speed-Spire-Clips-Select-Quantity-10-100/130798235678?hash=item1e742eb01e:m:myZ0iPUVBteq9uCRKda0zJw:rk:1:pf:0 They haven't failed me yet and I also use them to hold the lower part of the side skirts...

Ha! It definitely does pay off and especially in racing where the stresses on bolts, components etc are that much higher. I don't envy you moving house and trying to move a workshop too. I think moving my workshop would be more stressful than moving the stuff in the house! I'm based in...

Thanks mate. More updates coming shortly! You've been busy with yours too I notice! It's easy to get carried away isn't it!

Thanks mate. When I read back what I've been through with this car I do wonder how it is that I still have so much enthusiasm for it! If last season had gone differently though it could be up for sale now! Having a bit of silverware makes a massive difference. So we'll see how 2019 pans out...

Thanks Neil, much appreciated. Like you, I do like a bit of attention to detail and when you're racing I've found it pays dividends. Despite initial gremlins on the car's first outing after the rebuild the reliability has been spot on. Only improvements are required and of course just keeping on...

So after a couple of months not touching the car I now need to start cracking on with my planned changes and improvements ready for the first test day at the end of March. My main goal this winter is to get the dash and OE heater out as this is the last significant area for weight reduction...

Drop me a message if you like. Happy to give you a bit of guidance. You won’t regret it. It’s addictive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Black series are really tough. I fitted mine while the subframe was off and still needed numerous clamps and brute force to get the bolts in!

Mine were ok. But I didn't use bulkhead fittings. Just drilled through and used grommets. And I went through the firewall underneath the seam that you've drilled above. Although the kits do appear to be a little inconsistent Mich has always been extremely helpful and I'm sure he will sort it for...

Phase 1s have a return line to the tank whereas the phase 2s don’t. Not sure if you’ve tried changing the regulator (or even if you can on those rails). Other than that, if you are sure you have a fueling problem it can only be the in tank pump or the injectors. These cars are notorious for bad...
