What class are you going in Paul? If your going in road going, you can't do too much, if your looking to do 3B, Mod Prod, the sky's pretty much the limit.

Hi Andy looks a tidy project for the winter, which series are you looking to do? I was sprinting last season in a 172 Phase 1, though will be hillclimbing this year with any luck in the midlands hillclimb series.

how are you always being chased by a puma?

SDCC now have a 10 year lease on the Curborough track, it is going no where for the foreseeable future. no HS2 is going to be spoiling our fun.

Probably the 26k miles has something to do with it also completely untouched from standard. Does look nice have to say.

Some of you may have driven round this little track, it's a good little track that clio's always do well at. Here is my run from yesterday in my phase 1. Very happy with the quality of the Hero 2. Footage would be less shakey if using the roll cage mount, but havn't got round to buying that yet.

These were in the car when i bought it. http://www.acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk/

Just given the car a clean before the next round of sprinting. Few changes made for sunday. I have changed the crap standard top mounts for some shiny pure motorsport ones. Old ones had completely gone. Season is going well, 3 class wins at this stage, so far so good :) . It is road legal and in...

Cracking build! Always expect setback's when doing this kind of thing, the way it goes pal!

Re: Titanium Ph1 172 looks mint, i like the coded strips and ph2 bullets, might have to do that to mine in the future :)

sorry havn't logged on here in a while that would be me, wheels aren't orange any more though :o

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Looking good so far, after some a048's my self!

cheers for comments, yeh that's true it is almost all to the right, but it felt very balanced for now. The brakes felt spot on.

bloody hell that looks a fun track to drive! Great vids :)

Only got the one picture for now. Been rebuilding since January for the hsa sprint, this was it's first proper 3 hour test. Few tweaks needed to geometry but so far so good, p.s alloys aren't staying, hoping to get some pro race 1.2's once I find a decent pair second hand. :)

that is pretty good mpg for 100 horses. mine is a 100 too and i only get 35-40 most commutes :(

I don't know what is neater, the write up or the car. A+ grade for sure. This makes me want to get rid of my 1.4 for one of these so much. what is the MPG like after the remap for a combined cycle, around town and leisurely driving?

love the colour, RS grille, Clear indicators, colour code, Lower it if you can afford insurance. and keep it at that. it's a first car, enjoy the freedom :)

Mine @ Curborough today.

r27 sits perfect and i love that front splitter. looks real aggressive. probally why i love DTM so much. the cars look like they want to go and eat things.

i LOVE that colour. Epic Van.

how's the car idleing? is it very smooth or does the RPM change frequently?

Thanks Cotball and yes, it's a serious bit of kit. Must be a fair few pennies for One!

Nope sorry its not what i do, I do Motorsport Engineering, just offered my University head of course a few pints if i could come in during easter and use the CNC machine for abit. He got pretty interested when i told him i was building a car for hillclimbing and sprint at home. So yeh would be...

Using Clear Silicone Adhesive, from the rear of the plate to the bumper and inbetween the trumpets and the plates. It is extremely strong, waterproof and also can give a little once fully cured. Horrible smell though.

I actually just drove to the shop as it's not far from me but having browsed their site i have found the one i purchased. The one i have is the 63mm Hose Id variant so i was a little wrong on the 69mm i thought it was...

Thanks dan :) The trumpets are just 69mm ones iirc that i brought from Europa in tutbury.

wasn't entirely sure which section to post this into. so sorry if its not in the correct one. Feel free to move admins lol.
