Some footage of my Clio 172 on track at Combe last Friday 3 short outside clios attached and a YouTube link to some onboard footage chasing a caterham

thanks mate! yeah it was a bit of a downer on my first one but its been really reliable since and yes they definately are very addictive! its just so annoying living right down in plymouth the nearest track is combe which is more than a 2 hour drive each way and all the other tracks are probably...

gave the car one last drive for the year and cleaned it all up. after having a couple of near misses on the last track day at combe i decided my bolt in half cage needed an upgrade and i decided as i barely use the car on the road anymore to lose as much weight as possible. i stripped the...

gave the car a much needed polish up booked another day at combe. finally a full dry dry day here! set off out the gate a bit too hard on the first session and had quite a fast off at quarry on my 5th lap. i hit the edge of the rumble strip quite hard which resulted in a buckled wheel and...

next up i took the car back to llandow for another track day. in the morning i was trying to push the car far too hard for the little track hence this awesome photo but after a few hours practise my lines were much better. i couldnt work out afterwards why my drivers side skirt was scratched...

next up we were on holiday in truro for a few days and whilst messing about on facebook i found these wheels up for sale cheap just around the corner from our hotel so went and picked them up. gave them a quick rattle can refurb and whacked the ns2r i had lying around from the orange wheels onto...

booked another day at combe ready to try out my new suspension and wheels/tyres. we had been having a real dry spell so was going to be awesome. unfortunately last minute it was predicted to poor down so stuck to running the 16"s with the ad08r on and trekked up to combe. still had a great day...

finally sorted the suspension! went for bc racing ds series with 8kg springs all round and dampers valved to suit i also went for their solid adjustable top mounts. the wheel alignment was set with 2.5 degrees of camber and 1 degree of toe out i sourced some secondhand but brand new 15" versions...

booked some track slots at the action day at castle combe next had a great day with some mates and this was my first experience of driving a properly wet track it went ok and gave us some great track time as nobody hardly went out. it dried off in the afternoon but the track was then...

set off on the trek upto donington for french car show 2017 and booked some track time. had some issues when we got to the hotel with a leaking bottom radiator hose but luckily it was just a loose hoseclip other than that had a great time on track with no issues and definately want to head back...

i finally finished my headlight intake i booked the csoc weekender track day and set off on the massive 7 hour drive to get there. was a mixed weekend had issues with a sticky caliper on the way which i managed to free off and my starter motor decided to pack up so had to keep bump stating...

i then finally cleared my garage out so i could squeeze the red clio in i then booked some more track time at combe. had a great time and started to really improve my driving and not be the slowest car out there

i then fitted the recaros into our other 172 along with the snappy steering wheel and carbon dash trims (didnt get a photo of this) and gave it a good clean i also bought myself a sensible cheap daily driver for my 50 mile a day commute the red clio was now becoming a full track car! i...

thought i should really update the last few years of ownership so here goes! took the car to french car show at castle combe in 2016 got a spot in the show and shine paddock and stupidly decided to take the car on track as its something iv always wanted to do had a great time on track until...

glad im not the only one who was worried about those engine mounts moving! dont want to make/sell me a square washer too if it works? ?

great project thread mate car looks amazing!! how do you find the gaz coilovers on track? heard mixed reviews and thinking of buying some

Do you have a powerflex mount fitted or just the standard one plus the extra pms one?

How noisy is the pms exhaust on the road with no centre silencer? Buying one for mine and unsure weather to get the one with silencer or not? I don't use the car daily anymore but living right down in Plymouth all the tracks are a fair drive for me and don't want something that's going to leave...

cheers mate :D yeah i fell in love with the colour when i went to look at it and ended up buying it even though it needed loads of work lol yours was looking good too you were getting some great 3 wheel action past the briefing building!! they are autec wizard wheels still very lightweight but a...

i was there with my flame red 172 :D great day!!

Sorry 172

cheers mate, watching the video you were flying!! got the bug now wanna do a few more and get my confidence up, can you recommend any other good tracks was a bit nervous at combe as there is not really much run off and seen quite a few big crashes there!!
