Wow! Fair play for giving it a go, but that will handle like a pig with all that weight at the rear. It'll will just want to swing around like a pendulum under load.

I used RTV black when putting the 2zz back together. Worked a treat.

4 this year and 2 have been wet. 1 of them in storm Dennis which was interesting. Set of seperate wets are a must for me.

Scrapy just offered me £200 for the car. Probably wants the cats more than the engine and box.

What will they be worth? CBA fuckin about for chump change.

Haha nah its a ebay special. Still a few hundred quid i bet.

Should really take both cats off my Skoda before it goes to the scrappy. Also got an OE cat from the MR2 ive put up on MR2OC for £30, should I be asking more? Skoda double cat MR2 cat

Not much in it even when you do actually rev the Clio... http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel323-1298.htm

I've used the B12 prolines on track with my old Octavia VRS and they were fine, didn't find them to soft at all. Much improved over the OE set-up and very good on the road too. If purely a track car used on the road only to commute to and from track for the money you cant beat the BC DR's with...

Sounds like tyres then. Just get a another set of cheap 15" wheels and bang some Rainsport 5 on them as they're peanuts and are very good in the wet.

I'd say the main issue is the NS2R tyres presuming they're the 180 compound. They are shocking on light cars in the wet as you just can't heat into them. Have you tried the car at a dry track day?

Great. See what comes of it. (y)

Cheers Dan. Bargain for someone.

Now on eBay, still £200 cash on collection for you lot for a hassle free transaction. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333666201837

Tyre stacks are part of the landscape in our garden.

Best £50 you will spend for track gains. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184363800648

No, no was getting at mine being 'just' a 1.8 NA. Going well in the 5.

Just a 1.8 NA 🤨

100% yes, especially in a tin can of a Clio.

If a road car as well i'd go with a 4 point cage, as a 6 point with overhead bars could cause you more damage in a big shunt on the road due to you not wearing helmet. You can get a custom 4 point bolt in with diagonals and harness bar for £500.

Video here from Oulton park last year where there was lots of race cars in attendance, most of which didn't liked to be pushed around by a my Skoda daily. You literally have to rear end some of them to move them aside.

No! You're more likely to end up in the armco backwards as a novice as they'll either pressure you into a mistake or the novice will try and keep pace and bin it.

I'm at Donington Park Friday 28/8. There's racing on that weekend but its the Ferrari challenge cup so doubt these lot will be cheap stakes booking the Friday track day for testing. I always find its the junior teams with kids driving that are the nuisance on track days, mini, ginetta series etc...

They also let race cars/teams onto public track days these days which boils my piss as they're supper aggressive and a lot of them don't adhere to track rules. It seems the teams use the day for practice before a race weekend as a general track day is cheaper than a test day.

IMO its easier to drive on road tyres as for one your going slower and two they are much more forgiving when they let go, giving you much more time to react.

Thing with budget road tyres they limit the time you can have out in track. They wear much, much quicker and with this overheat which makes them greasy and no fun.

Exactly.

I just buy used decent track tyres. Usually get a set for £100-200 in 15".

Check your shocks for leaks and age related wear before buying anything, if they look and feel past it fit some new ones. Fitting sticker tyres to worn shocks will just create even more roll, tyre wear and general unpleasantness. As mentioned a RARB is the best bang for buck mod. I'd also fit...

Not if they last 10 track days.
