The weekend just passed kicked off the BTCC championship, along with their supporting championships. We have two cars this year, the usual clio x85 cup driven by Jame Colburn (4th place last year) and a new driver Myles Collins in a Ginetta Junior class (saxmax champion last year). More info...

After a mental week of work we seem to have an abundance of dead/dying engines. Spot the number of engines in the following image of our incredibly untidy workshop. A correct answer choosen at random will recieve a Wispa bar (not a duo - just a cheapo one ;)) Tip - they may not be all in...

I was going to keep this as nothing more than an quiet experiment etc but I thought instead I thought I would throw it up as a little project as it may make interesting reading for some; usual mix of prototyping, design few cad drawings etc. If you don't find this sort of stuff interesting...

.. Well I don't actually hate it, but whilst my little badger of a clio is being ripped to bits I miss driving the little fecker every day. I threw away its entire loom today *emotional :(* Que good memory photo:

Taken from the Trophy forum. Driver and the passenger were fine.

The boys at AST have built a lovely little detail into the 2010 RS kits that gets around the whole issue of bolt spacing so common on the clios, I really appreciate details like this so I thought I'd pop a pic up: Gorgeous pair of cam type steel inserts that simply rotate in a recessed slot...

After 3 years of road car use my own 182 is finally going to be taken off the road and be converted into a fully fledged Blue Book standard race car, it will then be entered into some amateur championships for my first taste of competitive driving. I'll be back at Brunel Unversity in a years...

Last week a customer contacted me expressing an interest in carrying out an RS2 Manifold conversion on his 182 to complement the 202 bhp he already had. I found it intriguing that at no point with a £1600 package had he been provided with any sort of graph demonstrating the cars raised output...

to do something a bit silly, however in recent months I have been growing bored with the looks of the dirty black, brake dust stained, black wheeled 182 pictured here: So after watching a Clio Cup race at Brands I fell in love with a teams color scheme and here we have it, possibly the first...

ANOTHER FCS media thread I'm afraid :o We had a great day at the show and it was great to meet lots of chaps that we know on here for the first time - Curley, Greeny172 etc, as well as catching up with Mr Burpspeed & some other traders. Also massive thanks to everyone that helped get us there...

A little something we've put together for FCS top gear style :cool: Cr@p quality pic, but you get the idea: Spotless head, all polished up etc - won't drop any oil on your carpets ;) We'll be running a competition to win this very table at FCS, I'll stick some more info up in the...

Something we've cobbled together other the last few months behind the scenes - a few of you should see the significance of it :cool: On the car ready for the next stage of map development. Very much a prototype in its current state as many of the tertiary parts have not moved to production yet...

Some lovely pics taken of my own 182 on track @ Bedford by the good chaps at trackphoto.com - the images are defineatly worth the money spent! Just sums up how at home the little RS's look on track for me (especially when pictured through a lens worth more than the car!) Click enlarge to get the...

Simple question. I want to play the tunage on my iphone through my 182 (with the tuner update head unit). I don't need it to charge, I don't need to control it through the steering wheel - I just need a simple cable to play the music through - link me up :)

First one fitted and working in the UK possibly? Matt Wills dropped it off and a few hours tinkering with the wiring has got the CC function working perfectly, airbag values look to be good to so will update once fitted. VERY lightly rubs on the shroud, but a few days driving and it has worn...

Right I'm no detailing bod - bucket of water and a mitt is as about as far as I go! I've picked up some 2118s that have been used shortly with some aggressive PF97 brake pads - subsequently the troughs around the rim are well caked up. I have got a lot of the surface 'sediment' off with...

What on earth they are doing??? R0IANN3DwCI

We have been thinking about using one/both of the 1*2's as another method of getting a bit of exposure. Having been a TOTD recently I'm liking the way they emblazon their evo/Impreza etc with the company graphics..... what do you think? Boy racer junk/or effective design?

Right looking from some info from anyone who may know a thing or two about tyres: running temps, pressures etc: ideally when used on track :) I would like to know the following: 1. Can you accurately gauge external tyre surface temperature from the air temp inside the tyre? 2. What sort of...

Right woke up this morning and I can't for the life of me remember my iphone unlock code (screen lock thing) :( Tried too remember it and got as far as the 60min disable warning so pretty much stuck, going to have a scout on google, see what can be done, but just wondered if anyone knows a...

Is this real? Phenomenal design & engineering http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/projectnatal/ & p2qlHoxPioM M9nuwsQ5nF4 Just found the original thread - didn't find it with the search last time so massive repost :(

I had a bit of an epiphany over the weekend that I thought I would share. As everyone knows; cars & the excitement that they bring can fade over time, leaving us searching for bigger, badder purchases to get our kicks driving. The last month has been a bit like this for moi; Clio feeling a...

Picked up a full set of these for an unbelievable price mainly for use through the summer and on a few track days I have coming up. I've heard on the grape vine that these can be quite pressure sensitive so was wondering if anyone *inferno?* has got some words of advice or experience with...

Just looking for some general info on the clio cup race cars. When the Clio Cup Series move onto a new generation of cars, what happens/where do they sell the old race cars? When (if) they sell them does Renault carry on supporting an owner/provide a post dated parts catalogue? I understand...

Right my younger brother has just returned from a gap year in New Zealand. He subscribed perfectly to the traditional mix of hiking bag, 1 pair of underwear, camera and all his worldly savings gaffa taped to his chest in case of being robbed! I just had to share the pictures of the car he...

Possible repost? mmmm want. http://www.drivers-republic.com/dr_tv/index.cfm?videoid=9a01b50c53e540ab80c64bb0e0062641&area=videos

I was behind in my Black 182. Went up the slip road at a rate, got a stinking cold today so really didn't feel like chasing you - so you were lucky this time ;) oh and get those lights off, ruining it :dead:
