I didn't start the thread for no reason Majit!
I've just got off the phone to my mate, and we're in. I needed to check with him as he's buying his first house/settling down but there was no hesitation.
I'm going on holiday tomorrow but as soon as i'm back, I'll be selling all my clios (6 of them iirc!) and clearing out the unit, buying a 172 or 182 and cracking on. See you in 2014, let's go racing!

Lol. Cheers dude!
Only said in a banterous manor Nick, if I'd thought you would have been offended by it i wouldn't have been so cheeky
You've got good experience with what these cars require to that level, if it comes off I'm sure you will be a great contender.
It appears your words are falling on deaf ears old chap. Doesn't seem to matter how many times you put this point across, some Charlie Whiting wannabe pops in a few posts later to offer another nugget of expertise.
172 Race Car
Isnt one of the 6 suitable?I'm going on holiday tomorrow but as soon as i'm back, I'll be selling all my clios (6 of them iirc!) and clearing out the unit, buying a 172 or 182 and cracking on. See you in 2014, let's go racing!
This is this year Calendar as a guide, but bare in mind the regs are not completed also the number of entries or them that actually register!

Was thinking why take so long be striped and prepped in a weekend?
Providing you got licences etc. racing at donny in the winter series triple header race!

I have no licence, nowhere to keep a car and the trailer we'd be using has a car on it.

No. 2 of them are our track cars (too far gone for this) one is a 1.2, the other 182's have all had paintwork done to get them to retail standard. I'll be buying the roughest thing I can find for sub £500. The one we spoke about would have been absolutely perfect but Sods law I've just spent £400 on paint!!

Yes you missed it. Its all in somewhere amongst the mongs dicking about

Car plus about 3k to get ready for your first race. Just a rough guide figure, all depends what the car's like to start with. That 3k is assuming it's in a reasonably good state to start with.
If you're totally new to all this and have a totally standard car, probably over £4000 may well be needed.

Easily, not many clio's going about in good race ready mecahnical condition these days. Depends what condition of car you are willing to go racing in I guess though.

Oh s**t!

Nice Josh but some of us have the other good springs already fitted so I wouldn't want to buy some others.
How about offering a discount if they put some of your stickers on the car?
Just food for thought, throwing an idea out there.

It will be embarrassing when a fat ginger valeter kicks your ass, no?
Everyone will end up with the same springs, tyres, wheels etc anyway.. As one will end up being better than the other.
Embarrassing?! Not at all, I'm used to it lol

That's what this is all about as far as I'm concerned. FUN!

Nah, look on the positive side - free instruction!

This is what we are trying to avoid.
Bargain. Sign me up.
Stuff like battery/location should be free.
Someone fitting a dry cell would be a good thing, but all cars need a minimum
Weight for sure
182cup & 172 racecar
A standard battery would need a sealed box, where as a dry cell wouldn't, and yes it can go wherever you want. Got to allow some freedom, but it will be up to the individual to choose.
The only way there would be a control anything, if it's heavily discounted. But then it's up to me in the end.

It will be a series, not a championship, you should know the difference so I won't bother explaining it.
It will be part of the Track attack French Trophy, but a 'non modified' class. this will help boost numbers to get our own grid and not share it with the Nippon Challenge cars, plus help people into a cheaper form of motorsport.
Me basically, I've been asked to throw something together and put forward the proposals.

Well they are but don't forget that you may well need to spend on brakes, wheel bearings, tie rods, ball joints etc. etc.
I could have quoted a bare minimum figure that may well be right for some, but nowhere near what others may have to spend. These budgets have a habit of increasing very quickly. Mine as it's been trackday prepped, is very close to the spec discussed (without the necessary "race bits") but I've still overestimated for my own piece of mind.
I'm not trying to put anyone in the slightest, far from it. The more, the merrier but trying to be realistic. Don't forget racewear on top of about £500
