BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

[NorthloopCup]

Love this car! So much front end grip!

 

[sonny172cup]

Looking good guys.

 

[Martin.]

Love them!

 

[Martin.]

Just watched the video, they look SOOOO much fun!! Seriously capable cars.

 

[Cub.]

Looks like brilliant fun. Especially with both of them so evenly matched.

When do I get a passenger ride?

 

[Greeny.]

Awesome guys, keep us updated as always Looking forward to more videos

 

[MG cup]

I have missed all the sale of parts on here and the arrival of the new car, it's looking nice.

I just scrolled through quickly and will read in more detail later but you wouldn't still have the bracket for mounting the breather tank for sale? It would save me a job.

 

[ALD]

Bring on the modifications

 

[Lal B3N]

They both look like mega fun! Sounds awesome too.

Haha yes been a fairly swift swap!

No sorry I sent it out with the catch tank

Bring on the modifications

Plan is to keep them standard they are worth so much more as standard cars, keeps them equal, keeps them fairly cheap to run and stops any spending

See how long we can keep them that way

 

[MG cup]

If you wouldn't mind James, who did you sell it to out of interest, just to see if it's surplus to them.

 

[BIGASH]

Just dug through my pm's was Richy182

 

[ALD]

Well if you need the head doing I would love to see how it can be improved.

 

[Adam93]

I think i just saw you filling up at Shell, J16 M6 ? i only saw the car leave on the back of the trailer or else i would have come over and took a few snaps. Stunning looking racer.

Yeah, Mark and I meant to say, thanks for the loan....epic car 😂

 

[Greeny.]

Saw you 'I think' at the Snetterton track evening last night, car was going well

 

[Robmarriott]

Does it automatically blip the throttle or do you still have to heel and toe even with the sequential box?

You should of come and said hi! I didn't have a passenger at any point of the night so could have taken you out in it.

Nope it doesn't blip so heel and toe really smoothens it up, couldn't last night though as had a problem with the gear position sensor so was too busy counting gears rather than also trying to heel and toe

[Martin.]

Ha! No track is too far for me

Can't do Brands bud I'm afraid, I'm up in Yorkshire this week for work. Have fun.

 

[BIGASH]

[BIGASH]

Great stuff will be good to catch up Bring a lid!

 

[C l a r k e y]

Nice to catch up James
Thanks for the ride, really enjoyed it.

 

[eastlmark]

James, what are you reading on the old noise meter?

 

[BIGASH]

Yes was great to catch up with you both glad you enjoyed!

James, what are you reading on the old noise meter?

The std racer exhausts are LOUD! We bought the std road car exhausts and put a flared joint on so the back boxes are interchangeable in no time. The road back box makes its suitable for pretty much any track. We thought they were robbing them of power so did back to back on dyno and there was only 1bhp in it.

 

[Tony Hunter]

1bhp, not bad then.

Nearly a year since updating this thread! Been really busy year with work but we got the car out at Brands a few weeks ago and then Nurburgring and Spa last weekend! Still running the cars on the Dunlop DZ03’s as saves a fair bit of money compared to running them on slicks. Cars were running really well and lots of fun! Hoping to race at Silverstone next weekend just trying to sort some logistical issues out! Got few other trackdays planned with another trip to Spa and the Ring along with Zolder. Towards the end of the year we are going to BRNO, Slovakia Ring and Hungaroring in the Clio’s for my stag do along with a few messy nights in Budapest and Bratislava!

And yes Eau Rouge is flat! Fox hole at the Ring should have been too but had some tyre scrubbing so was playing it safe.

See videos below :smile:

Epic Clio is epic [emoji1303]

Have you got a YouTube channel with these videos on?

[Tony Hunter]

BRNO and the Hungaroring are epic in a Clio.

 

[sonny172cup]

Looks like a great trip mate, I really miss the Spa and Ring trips...i'v got a few mates heading over to zolda soon, wish I was going

 

[quik97]

can you take a picture of the bracket that holds the bumper on at the sides which the bolt goes through the bumper. and do you happen to have the part number for them.
