Some pics from the day

So I survived my first ever track day. I'm very happy to report that I didn't stop play for anybody and the Clio performed faultlessly throughout the day. To say that the car is standard with the exception of a decat and the r888 I had on (didn't realise their bloody old 07) I managed to keep...

They were in a shitty state, and would have died after my first five laps lol

Well, reasonable progress didn't happen lol. Unfortunately, due to job requirements I've done very little to the mingo. However, due to a track day at Donnington tomorrow, I've actually had to do something. So, finally fitted my stud kit that's been sat around forever. Also, really glad I had a...

Cheers people, appreciate the feedback. I may just swap the wheels before I go and just take a torque wrench with me to check tightness every so often along with a tyre gauge.

Evening all, On Saturday I have my first ever track day. I'll be at Donnington to which I live quite close. I've also booked some tuition as its my first time. The car is standard with the exception of a decat and I'll be taking a spare set of wheels to put on whilst there which 15 inch r888. My...

I'm sure there's a couple more things in there somewhere too. Either way, expect some reasonable progress coming up.

Update, well, kind of. So for the past month, I've basically abused the mingo, all miles no love. Being my daily, its been hard to do much with it. However, it was that time of year again and off it went for mot. Fairly confident, didn't pay it any thought. First mistake. So it failed, outer...

Small update, have ordered a stud and nut kit from PMS which will hopefully arrive this Friday. I'll see if I can get them fitted then or Saturday. Pics to follow.

Not a massive update but, finally got the track wheels and tyres sorted. Grabbed some used R888 of the bay for what I think is a pretty good price. Only fifty percent worn and even across all four. Wheels have been powder coated and look pretty good. Just need to sort a stud and nut kit now.

Food for thought then. Might just save the eighty odd quid and put it towards the inevitable brembo upgrade lol

Thank you very much for your replies, it's very helpful. I was only buying them for ease if I'm honest. I'm planning on doing my first ever track day sometime soon so I've bought some Renault 19 15 inch alloys and some used r888 as didn't want to scrub up the daily uniroyals. Thought it would...

Ah damm it, I'm glad I asked now. Though I still need them so I suppose I'll just have to live with it unless anyone has ordered a shorter set?

Good morning all, Just after abit of gen from those in the know. I'm looking to purchase a stud and nut kit for the 182. It currently runs standard alloys with no spacers. Will the standard centre caps still fit over the new stud kit? I don't mind not having the centres on my track wheels but...

Sorry my friend, somebody has already beaten you to it.

No worries

Sorry for the revival but, I've not long bought a set of these for track wheels and as they only came with three centres I wasn't gonna use them. Would they be of use to you?

Dents and wheels to be sorted by Friday. Quite a difference I'd say.

Spitter fitted.....

Well as I have been away, I have left the car in my brothers capable hands and as a result, not only had work taken place but pictures have been taken too.

Yes very lucky indeed. Could have been horrific. Plate was from fancy plates.

Found it sitting half way down its normal position and with broken tabs. Quick search on RPD and there's a new one omits way. I've disconnected it in the mean time and hope that it doesn't go off. In other news, my day wheels and track wheels will be painted this week whilst I'm off work. I've...
