Hi guys, posted on here only once or twice before, bought a standard 172 on an 03 with the intention of road use when the mrs got our car and as a track car! Slowly but steadily iv bought a few parts for the first track day but haven't gone over the top. What do you all think of the following...
The wife's ipad was stolen last night and in changing all her passwords we've noticed it's been logged on in lexden, colchester. Was stolen from Chelmsford.
Not being a user of Facebook or an IT whizz kid how much information can be stored about log locations other than the iPads IP address...
Hi, thought it was about a time to start a write up on our little Clio as we have slowly been making progress since we picked her up back end of 2014. Not really posted before however enjoy reading all the other project/build threads that have given us so many ideas and inspiration.
My brother...
Well I've recently sold my Clio 200 full fat everything, full spec and a decent mod list, including akraprovic exhaust, matched inlets, itg maxogen, full bracing etc etc. Sold it to get a diesel daily car for the new work commute.
I drive an Audi A8 lowered on Bentleys and it's always shiny...
I'm putting new top mounts on tonight and track rod ends and I'm returning to standard camber.
Is there a rough way of setting it somewhere near if I can't get out of work to get it properly tracked so I can drive to work until my next days off?
i used to own a 197 cup as my daily driver and absolutely loved it, sold that a few months ago and have decided to get another renaultsport clio which i am collecting later today.
its a 52 plate 172 phase 2
would really appreciate any advice on getting it track ready, i don't want to strip it...
got a set of 182 arms, hubs, brakes, suspension, ARB for my DCi 80, just wondering do I need the driveshafts? I remember something about 172, cup, 182 all using different shafts is that correct or is it just the cup that had specific shafts?
what about ABS do all clios have the same amount of...
Attended my second trackday at Elvington yesterday along with my brother in his 182 & Tom in his 172 Turbo.
Great day and had some photos taken by someone in the family - some great cars out and Impreza was perfect.
Plenty photos to look over:

As the title says, Whats the best handling mod's i can do to get the 182 getting round the corners quickly with no hassle as well as being good to drive on the roads as a normal car
I've already got eibach sportline springs and I'm looking at a Whiteline ARB, anything else to add to the list?
Hi all,
Very new to the clio world having always owned ford rs's, still own a mk1 focus rs but decided to buy myself a dedicated track car and a clio ticks all the boxes.
Recently bought a 182 with cup packs so the 60mm hub spacing and looking for some suitable coilovers....car will be road...
There where a couple that I seen only spectating though we'll at least I think they where there was a trophy with a safety device cage turned up and ph2 flamer which I only seen briefly and some form of ph2 v6
Thought I'd put up a thread for my 106 GTi track car project, someone may be interested.
Paid £300 for it in September 2014, looked a bit worse for wear but ran and drove well, on 104k, had some paint work done on it and then started playing with it properly.
Owned a couple of 16v engines...
Was on a trailer being towed by a VW Transporter. I went past in my brothers Crafter was North bound about 11pm. Think.the name on the windows was Blythe can't remember the number.
Hi my names Luke and ive had my 16 valver for a year now and progress has been slow but all good things come to those who wait right? maybe! anyway here a few pics to get you started of my project. The shell was in alot worse condition than under first inspection and had a heap of welding done...
Hiya guys, been a while since ive posted here, last time i did i had my old AB 182, that was written off courtesy of a neighbours visitor reversing into it and caving rear quater panel in. Was a shame but had to move on.
After this i decied to buy an inferno 182 :)
This is how she stands to...
Hi all I am currently building a 182 track car. I have removed the rear seats and rear door cards and sound deading. I am thinking about removing the headlining carpets and a few other bits inside the car. I am running with bilstein b14 suspension, 1 degree camber shims (on the rear) and a white...

Picked this up today, just run out of MOT but would pass with very little work... Anyway that's not important, is getting ripped apart and turned into something that can be spanked on track and (hopefully!) cost very little in the process!
Car was £500, already sold the roof for £100, wheels...
Ok so basically I'm in the process of building a track/race car and need some pointers with regards to wiring. I am going to use a standalone ecu and want to get rid of the evil uch.
So where is the best place to start wiring and does anybody have any basic diagrams I can look at?
Cheers in...
Well, as the title states this is “another track car thread” blah blah blah.
The Start.
So where did it all start? Well I’ve always joked about having a project, you know like restoring a car or building a track car. Anyway in December I joked to my Mum and Dad that we should get a track...
Hi all
I've just got my hands on a 182 for pure use as a track car, but for it to stay road legal.
Currently it's had absolutely no mods. And I've done 2 track days.
I'm booked on to do oulton on 20th may and will be purchasing some new rubber. Any help on where to get some cheap lightweight...
I picked up a set of dynamique alloys cheap and am hoping they'll be ok for track.
I measured them across and they appear to be 7" from edge to edge, so I'm guessing they're a 6.5j?
Sup boys,
So recently I hit a rock in the road (was having a play with an SQ5 so didn't see it until it was too late) which flattened a bit of the lip on one of my Ph1 alloys. The tyre held it's pressure but then I was driving in a straight line.
Here is the alloy in question:
I got out...
My DS2500 front pads are starting to crumble after 4 track days so time for new pads. They're decent pads but don't give me the bite I really want. I'm tempted by CL RC6 but have read stories about them eating paintwork/wheels.....I know it's a track car but I do try to keep it nice, so what's...
