Thought I’d do a bit of an update on the car - not a lot has happened to it of late I have just done a trackday at brands hatch (17/09/18) and the car was bang on all day except in the afternoon when everything is hot it wouldn’t start, then the immobiliser light was flashing then it stayed...
So not a lot has happened have been very busy with work and I have took on a bigger premises to work from so the car is on the back burner yet again!
Have a bad leak from the rocker cover so decide to get the engine out and have a sort out in the bay, I’ll do an epas conversion and probably a...
Think I found my exhaust blow!!
Phone call to scorpion tomorrow to see if I can get a new centre section sent out, very lucky it didn’t snap and leave me stuck on my only TF lap of the weekend I just had at Nurburgring that could of been very costly to be recovered back in!
AD08R's that are nearly new! It was very fun but at the same time I did really want it to be dry to go round on the slicks! such an amazing track to drive around!
Really itching to get my finger out and do some racing next year so might look more into it over the winter and early next year! Hard to commit time when trying to build a business at the moment but we will see!
Did manage to remember to turn the go pro on this time aswell so got some footage of the day!
Mainly to record my girlfriends reaction who absolutely hates the Clio and has always refused to sit in it let alone go out in it so I had to show her how fun it was especially in the wet! After I...
So took the Clio to the Nurburgring over the weekend and done a trackday at spa whilst we were out there, had an amazing time but the Weather was really against us! Absolutely pouring down for the most part of the day but was still good fun! The ad08r’s offered very little grip but had lots of...
So snett on the 27th was an absolute blast! Car was mostly faultless.. slight clutch slip in the morning which was really frustrating me but once everything was warmed up it was ok... not sure how that can happen ? Perhaps something has leaked onto the clutch in the time it’s been sat around (...
Snetterton on the 27th mate msv day, myself, alex and hayley are booked and confirmed, paul is wanting to along with a few others! Will the T make it for that mate?
I was gonna text you the other day as I need some bits but haven't had a chance to go and double check that I need all of them...
Erm, I had a black e46 m3 that was a great spec and would of been worth a chunk of money now! still managed to move it on for a profit so cant complain, its hard to have feelings for a car in the used car sales trade lol
Bloody hell you beat me there! I cant believe all the cars ive owned and sold on ( including m3's, 2 r26's, focus st's etc ) the clio still remains! Cant get rid of the bloody thing lol !
So a bit of activity infactt I think the most activity this year! But bought some slicks and booked a trackday and forced myself to go and work on the car, so fixed the gearbox oil leak, I stupidly fitted the seal wrong for the end case so re did that and then got the car out for a wash, as you...
Sit rep - car has been sat around doing nothing for months - a new alternator should be this week and I have a gear box oil leak to sort! Hopefully do a brands day this month at some point as having trackday withdrawal symptoms!
Ha! Used to chuckle at my mates who had gloves when on trackdays until I drove with some and it's a world of difference! Wouldn't want to do a trackday without them now lol
Hi mate no they're not you need to buy special brackets and if like me you want to use the standard size discs you need to get the calliper machined 5mm I believe on the mounting face so they sit lower toward the discs, you can get them under 15's with the correct spacers too
Well managed to get to the bottom of the gearbox leak from Bedford on Friday some of you might of seen it in the pits with oil pissing out of it!The cap that goes over 5th was leaking I see there is a rubber gasket/seal around it can I purchase this part or isit a case of put it back with a load...
Yours will be more than mine I'd of thought, from what I understand the rs2 give a really good midrange where my cams are not a different from standard until about 4K maybe 5 then you can feel the kick and see it in the rr print out lol
Cheepy prima racing cams mate I think they're the same spec as 197 cams I can't remember there is a cat cam equivalent but I can't remember the model, made 190.2 after a map so not the end of the world lol
Yes mate I only opted for cams because I needed a new head and it was a now or never kinda decision lol
And nice one mate good luck that'll be awesome!
