Oh and for anyone that cares this is the new Track car (when I finish rebuilding it)

MY OLD CARRRR!!!!! Good to see this car is being used again and it's going down a completely different engine route! Good luck Russ, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread!

Hi Guys, i have some parts for sale on ebay. http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK:MESX PM me if you need anything. Thanks Chris

I've not raced my Clio, but when I'm in the zone on a trackday and driving quickly I would be too busy to look at a dash! Looking forward to seeing the next update!

Great result Tony! What Db reading did you have?

Great cars!! I have a F30 330d! In Glacier Silver so it's similar looking to your 335d

What's the noise limit for castle Combe? It always seems to be really low when I look at trackdays!

Those CF bits do look great. I'm so glad I finished mine as driving it is a million times better than faffing around with it. I suppose you do have a second cup to keep you happy! you should come and do anglesey on the 27th of may. Quite a few clios going I believe

Are you planning on having the car on the road? If not then bin the lot and go for a standalone ECU like me! I made all the looms for my car just like Big_Ash is doing right now!

So the Relay worked when i earthed it to the car. It should be the ECU earthing the connection to make the fan work but it doesn't at the moment. hmmmm

Ooooo good idea Jord! I used to have the fan on a switch so when i "thought" it was getting hot i would just flick the switch so i know the fan works, so i will check the relay!

Well i will go and double check everything today but i'm sure they are all good! ​

I'm a actually running them straight from the battery! So they should be a good 12v

So today i opened my new Rs232 - USB cable so i could plug my Omex ECU into the laptop so i can make some changes! After loading the driver onto the laptop it connected straight away!!! All those bloody hours trying to get the old cable to work and it never did!! Anyway, i had made the wiring...

At Oulton Park they said i was just about on 105 DB which was their limit, but i didnt get in trouble all day so it might not have been too bad on the drive by!

My exhaust is too loud for Combe!!! I think i really need to get a silencer made for the exhaust so i can do more trackdays!

Tony I'm at the Nurburgring that weekend so can't make that one. It's a shame as I would have liked to have been on track with your car. I'm very happy with my brake set up being 95% front brakes, apart from the peddle only really working from the last third of its travel which isn't very...

No pictures in this update, but i noticed that my 172 cup compensating valve seems to have been leaking!! Not from the brake pipes but from the middle bit right at the bottom of the valve!! Its a pain because i didn't really want to buy a new one but i might have a go as bodging it with sealer...

Short update! After lots of thinking and a few emails to Carbone Lorraine I ended up buying a set of CL pads, but the more aggressive RC6! These should not crumble away so I'm looking forward to getting my face pulled off with the stopping power! Also bought 2 sets of Brembo HC discs so the...

So now it at it new tempory home are you planning on trying to get some things done on it this summer?

Looked like fun! Why did you Trailer it to the drag strip?

Can you blow an engine through fuel starvation?

What's the least amount of fuel you can run in a track car untill it starts to fuel surge? Using R888's and a ITB'd engine! i'm only asking because I don't have a fuel gauge and want to know how long I could run for on Dry days

Too much? It just says 1.0 on the shims so i dont know what that is. How much are you going to be running?

There was plenty of life left on the outer pads but the inside ones had crumbled away! They have served me pretty well to be honest. Two Bedford Autodrome trackdays Castle Combe Quite a few laps of the Nurburgring Oulton Park 8000 Road miles But it still they shouldnt fall apart! I will buy...

Understeer!!!!! What Understeer????? So these are 1.0deg camber shims which i will use on the rear to give me some toe out! Hopefully this will improve my turn in :) On another note, friday i get the car its wash after its trackday at Oulton Park a few weeks ago and started to give the car...

Lol, i was one of those Horror Stories!! Hence then building my own looms :)

I threw away all the wiring. And i made a new Engine loom and Interior loom. So no key or Immobiliser!

Yeah i'm not bothered about a speedo. I have a Blue LED in the middle of my "Dash" which i was going to use as a shift light but never got round to wiring it in. But TBH i have just got used to the sound of the engine to change gear. I didnt hit the limiter once at Oulton and its not like i...

For the guys doing track time. what sesion are you going to be in? I might come along.
