Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
Cheers Jon, it's at J-tech at the moment getting the MOT and a few other things
Thanks Rhys, the gaitor didn't survive it's removal. Lol. I like the 'mechanical' nature of the shifter. Will see what solution to the 'gap' I can come up with.

Great pictures Luke, they really show off how far the car has come.
To me it looks transformed - so much more aggressive and track-focussed, an absolute weapon. It's a credit to your vision, Oli, and to the team of support who've helped get it this far. Looking forward to seeing it (and you x) at the Shire Horse next week.

Cheers 'Othy. Wales will be the first 'test' of it. Can't wait.
It will indeed be at Shire Horse, albeit back on standard wheels.

Not anymore. My intention is to supercharge it later this year / early next so the Cams would have been pointless. I sold them onto Chip.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
They are currently propping up Lesley's tired engine in the RB182 we have.
I think between that and the RS2 it just about makes a bit more than standard power despite being a little tired, lol
Will build a proper engine at a later date using these cams I expect, possibly Clio 200 based as I prefer the water pump setup.

Passed it's MOT
Just went for a drive, great to have it back and it's driving great. Seems to have a lumpy idle, so I need Mike Woodford to check the RS Tuner map has overwritten the previous map for the cams!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
Cheers bud. Pulled strong through the gears and seems a strong engine. Little concerned about the idle, don't want to kill another engine due to the map.
So nice to have it back. The difference between it and the micra daily is crazy!
Great news

Yours won't be long
Very happy for you mate, I dont remember what driving one feels like anymore.
Hope you get the map looked at/sorted asap so you can continue having fun.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
Cub, what were those dates you were chatting about?
I dont think we are doing anything in April, we are at these ones in May:
8th Bedford (eve)
20th Oulton
28th Snet (eve)
29th Cadwell (eve)
30th Croft
Not planned June/July onwards yet so if you let me know where you are I will try and get along to some of the same events
Have also been thinking about doing some or all of these RS days:

Good shout. I'm booked on the RS day at Oulton. I'd like to do both the RS day at Brands and the RS day at Bedford.
I also want to do Anglesey and Snet or Cadwell at some point. Doubtful I'll get any in for May unfortunately. Let me look at the two RS ones as a start. I'll text you if I book onto them.

Cheers Andy, let me know which days you're doing and hopefully we'll crossover on one. How is yours fairing? If not, maybe catch up at one of the French Trophy race meets?
I thought that was the case. Having looked, the Bedford RS one I'm not doing as it's an evening only, and I would prefer a full day.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
I'll be at Bedford for the RS day. Looking at doing Caldwell a few times this year and getting back to Donington
The car is fine. I have some cooksports for it and will be getting the belts done soon and ac removed.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
So, the flamer had its 'shake down' test this weekend just gone. 748 miles along some of the best roads the UK (Wales) has to offer. Was a great weekend, with great company and I am pleased to say the car performed perfectly. Made me realise how much I missed it, and why it is worth the pain of engine swaps
Thread is here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...eat-engine-and-a-Vee-do-Wales-(Very-pic-heavy) but some photos I have stolen below.
On the return leg on the M4, my bearings started to worsen. Both front ones were advisories on my MOT for play, so they will need sorting. As will the brake imbalance from a sticky rear caliper, and I am changing the DS3000s. They were great when warm, but when cold they didn't inspire confidence and at low speeds this weekend the squealing nearly made me cry like a baby.
A few jobs to do, but nothing major.
