hellloow.. So recent events have forced me to part with my 182 (which can be seen below) lots of money has been poured into it as you can all understand, and is currently up for sale. It recently underwent a bit of surgery due to a crunching 3rd gear and a dodgy starter motor, so I decided...

Just trying to work out if I was to sell my 172 344bhp I mean I've spent properly over 16k plus in receipts that's not including price of the car the engine was built fully forged by k tec turbo d receipt was 8.5k Full welded cage cost me 2k White wrap with decals Carbon bonnet boot door...

Trackrods are handed but which way round do they go? I have some cup racer pics showing both ways ? If the aim is to have the trackrod parallel to the wishbone angle of stroke (ie looking at it from the side under the arch) then if you move the wishbone forward to get some more caster the the...

I'm in the process off finishing my epas conversion, and I'm now at the stage of fitting the rack its self. I need to renew both inner and outer track rods and I don't know if the 172ff ones fit or I have to use dci ones? Can anybody shed some light ?

Finally finished my cup today although when I drove it there was an extremely odd sensation from the steering. Whether the EPAS is on or not the steering feels loose for about 20 degress (each way) of steering wheel movement and as soon as you get past this point it becomes much harder and has...

Got my 172 a few months ago, used to pull hard to the right. Got a front end alignment , didn't help, they had to cross the front tires to sort it. A month later, the steering isn't centered again and it pulls to the right again, also the steering pulls too much on every bump . Got another...

Hi, I have a 172 cup i recently purchased bought for some fun, not stripping it but would like to upgrade where possible if its worth doing for a few track days. Its got a K-Tec panel filter and a stealth cat-back exhaust (supersports whatever that means on the invoice) Just had £1200 + spend...

So having got the bug to get back into doing some track days without the previous high cost of running my last track car (a 600 bhp Subaru STi) I decided a Clio sport was the way to go. I’ve previously had one as a second car for the road and found it fast and capable and a visit to knockhill...

I'm new to the clio scene I wanted to build a track car and toyed with many vag group cars in the past then I bought my misses a clio 172 as a little run around and that's where it all started A few of my mates had 182s and I was more in to my audis I have an s3 for the road and wanted...

Just bought some speedline vega's with marangoni vetas for my ph1. Looked in bad shape when I got them so gave them a quick refurb! Before After

Went to Snet last night for the evening session, great fun, best the car has gone, videos of a couple of the sessions below, I don't pretend to be the best driver but I was making progress as the night went on :) In session three, after I was getting wound up being stuck behind things a cheeky...

Within the next month or so i've decided id like to make my clio a track car, as tax will be up and insurance shortly after and I could use something a bit friendlier to drive just for work and round an a bout. Only problem is, I'm not really sure where would be the best place to start...

My clio 172-1 jumps out of 3rd gear on track. It happens mostly under heavy downhill braking. All the engine and gearboxs mounts are powerflex-ed. The gearbox itself has just been completely revised. I am sure that the box itself isnt the problem. Personally i think it has something to do...

After changing the brake fluid on Friday from the Rockingham trackday just over a week ago so it is ready for Donington at the weekend I decided to give the track car a machine polish today as there were some fine scratches from using the cover when it is in the garage. I used Meguiars 205 and...

Fitted a t**t strip as I have no sun-visors, also painted my bullets to try and bring abit of colour into it, not 100% on them atm, I also done a satin black set to match all the other badges but they look fairly boring so sticking with the orange atm.

This is the latest bookings list for the CSS15 track sessions. This will be updated periodically so don't worry if you've recently booked and you don't appear here yet.

My mate has just bought a Saxo vtr/vts conversion not bad condition all running apart from alternator not charging battery.... £400 (good price for condition) Anyone know best place to get parts from or know anyone who is selling parts could let me know that would be great. Or if anyone has...

I see a BG182 parked up by the old control tower at goodwood, harwoods track day on saturday. i recognised the plate on the BG but not the 200. IMG_3391 by joe Towle, on Flickr

My track rod ends are...ummm.....beyond useable condition (without using any faul language!). The end bit circled on both sides have the play in, can move the wheel a good inch without moving the steering wheels. I am hoping this is the cause of the grumbling noise otherwise it is the wheel...

It's my 30th coming up and the Mrs is donating £500 into the clio. My phase one currently has just a decat, some half decent coilovers and some fed RSR's. Just thinking where to upgrade next for the £500.

I'm on call this weekend so stuck at home, and it's raining so I can't go and tinker with the cars. I thought it was as good a time as any to put a "project so far" thread together as it's already gone way, way beyond what I thought would happen with it. Also I made some pretty classic mis-steps...

ive only went and got her back!!! After chips small accident him and Lesley just dont have time to sort it out. so while drunk at fcs we did a deal. some big plans over winter once the work shop eases off a little.... but were back in where it all started. one of the first megane 225 powered...

Hiya, me and a mate are building a Clio track car, I'm in need of some pictures of how to fit a harness To the side of the seats, Cheers Steve

So I'm ordering me some new tyres in a minute and while I'm at it I want to get it tracked properly as the tyres at the moment are buggered on the inside fronts. My question is, whats the difference between standard wheel alignment and a geo setup (if its not the same thing) Also, the...

Just thought i would share a few of Lukes Track Car. Forged engine with Vag Box conversion and Diff. 335Bhp and goes like absolute stink. Im sure luke will have a project thread but i wanted to post this photo. Epic

Hi all, I've recently done a novice track evening at Brands which consisted of about an hours worth of track time split into three 20 minutes slots. It was only my second track experience after doing a 20 minute taster session last year. Here's one of the slots with an instructor, he was a...

I know last year there was a cliosport track day at llandow, was just wondering if there would be something similar this year? I don't use my Clio on track but possibly would if that's all that's allowed.
