    Power vamp PVR22 Clubsport Battery

    Anyone using one in their Clio? I'm looking at getting one so I can leave the larger filter fitted on the RS2 style inlet I've got waiting to fit.

    What are you doing to your track car over Winter?

    I'm debating on painting the inside probably just rattle can, a suspension refresh (have my BC stripped, checked and cleaned if needed) and have it corner weighted (more than likely use Blink Motorsport as they were excellent when doing my alignment/camber adjustment for track) once I've sorted...
