track

Morning all. Thought it was about time I registered and stopped lurking. Currently share a Clio 182 Cup with my co-driver Steve that we use exclusively for trackdays. Bought about 6 months ago we've built it up at home into something we're now pretty happy with. I come from a background of...

Hello to all..... I am a newbie to this forum, to Clios and to track cars really! I have always loved cars but essentially quick road cars and have owned a CTR, Focus ST, Z4 Coupe in recent years but have essentially no mechanical knowledge or no how! I have only ever done one track day in the...

I've recently done an oil change and used Fuchs supersyn 5w-40, fully sythetic oil but their cheapest line. Plans have changed and I've now decided I want to do a few trackdays over winter, car is standard power and won't be revved over 7k. Is it a safe idea to replace oil with something like...

Hi guys appreciate its not a Clio but me and the Mrs and a few of my pals recently attended the performance ford track day at brands, was a cracking day once the fog lifted some good driving from near enough everyone made it an enjoyable day! Car is her car and it's a big spec lol focus st with...

Possibly a really stupid question here, Fitting camber bolts on the front and putting some 10mm rear axle spacers on, and would like to get the car set up / geometry done For winter I'm running my 182 Alloys, and I'm getting my Turinis refurbished which I'll put back on once winter has gone...

Those of you into your trackdays probably see Silverstone pop up, and you'd be right in thinking some of their days are quite pricey. These seem to attract a certain clientele, and if I know there's one on I've started trying to pop in for a good look around. There are usually some quite exotic...

Hi all, I have recently bought my 182 and have booked up for a track day this coming Wednesday, I have been over the car and carried out a full service, replaced brake fluid, and had my wheel alignment set up but I was wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with engine cooling on the...

Hi, Have just joined the forum as I'll be looking to buy a track-day ready Clio 172/182 over the winter. Not interested in a project as been there with Evo's, Subaru's and a Westfield so looking for something pretty much 'ready to go,' baring a few possible tweaks. Was wondering if a guide /...

Hi can you all show me your track car interiors please for some ideas and inspiration:) cheers

Hi all was wondering the best place to buy some 15" slicks to use on trackdays part worns ideally to keep cost down and also 16" wets any advice appreciated thanks Rob

Keeping a bit of a log on progress on this, bought on a whim as a project over winter whilst my Focus ST I use on track is off the road (cracked liners). Wasn't going to spend much on it but we will see, got it cheap enough. Will update at the weekend but this is how it stands for now...

Let me see your track or race car custom dashes...... fitting Mt safety devices cage shotly and need some insperation as to what to do with my dash. Photos please :)

Hi All - thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking for a few weeks now, reading up on some of the threads and its good to see a wealth of knowledge on here that I know will come in usefull. I'm farily handy with a spanner, but know nothing about clio's and hadnt even sat in one until...

Got a set of speedline 2118's to go on in et43 and don't think they're going to fill the arches well enough so some spacers are going to be needed......I'm on et38 turini's at the moment so do I just got for 5mm all round (and if so where and what is best to buy) or 10mm all round for a bit more...

Wether these are of any use. I was mooching on the Megane forum and there's a thread, seem cheap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2PCS-x-Corbeau-Club-Sport-GRP-Composite-Shell-Side-Mounted-Bucket-Seat-Size-XL-/231704236952?hash=item35f2a61398

Hi guys ! Bored at work so thought I'd do a little build thread of my Clio ! It started a few years ago when I was 18 nearly 19 I was after a new car and I had just been to test drive a Corsa Vxr and something didn't feel right, So on the way back my friend suggested I looked at his mates...

Ok, so I've owned this clio for pretty much a year now and been on this forum as a full member for a month or so and I've decided it's time to start a post for my track car build over the winter! The car has been good to me so far not needing any major work doing just the usual track rod ends...

Standard 172 engine, no oil cooler, what grade do people use for track use and where is reasonable to buy it? Cheers

Selling my track car, have a look >>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291581339329?s

Took the Abarth to cadwell today to see how it went. So impressed with it for a standard car! Anyway a few pics! Hopefully have some videos as well when i get time to sort it!

Hi All, This question must get asked 1 million times but i am still working out how to search stuff without ending up just finding stuff for sale lol. I have a 182 track car running on B14s with a pair of 15mm spacers on the front and i am looking at buying maybe 2 sets of wheels, one set of...

Hi there, Been on here for a while but rarely post up. Recently been looking at other peoples cars and must say I'm mighty impressed. I'm from kent and I have a 182 as a track car started out a few years ago when I was 18 I bought a Clio 182 as a stop gap and fell in love with it...

So there's an open track day at Lydden hill on the 31st of this month, going to pop down for a social and maybe a session or 2 on track. Though it would be a good opportunity for a small social meet with something to watch

So I decided to stray away from boosting the 182, a lot of thought went into it and various comments/advice from other members, I looked at it from other points of view. My main thought was that it's my daily (other than a works van) so if it turned into a problem/money pit, I'm stuck. After...

OK, I left my PS3 with the olds so they could use my Sky Go.... now it looks like I'll be having that back. Anyone who's ever seen a notebook of mine will know that I have a terrible habit of drifting into daydreams of building race circuits. Anything from a course layout only, through to the...

Steering problem: Steering wheel is straight, turn right in a bend, straighten up but the wheel isn’t straight to make the car drive in a straight line. Just had a new steering rack fitted but not tracked and aligned - could that be the problem?

I'm debating on painting the inside probably just rattle can, a suspension refresh (have my BC stripped, checked and cleaned if needed) and have it corner weighted (more than likely use Blink Motorsport as they were excellent when doing my alignment/camber adjustment for track) once I've sorted...

Just booked on my first track day at Blyton.. Open pit lane on Wednesday 30th. I'm hoping it'll be a little quieter with it being midweek, didn't fancy a busy weekend with it being my first time. Anyone else planning on going? Any advice to get me and the car through the day in one piece? I've...

Is it ok to do so? I wont be doing loads of track days as such but want to get some in next year. Have been thinking about getting bucket seats etc and changing the steering wheel but have had second thoughts as to wether its worth it for the odd occasion. I already have all the polybushed...
