I think, I'll just save a bit more, then have both and the wife can live with it. Depends if work come up with the goods this Oct.

Small update. Flamer got another good run out to see the guys race at Snet. Was a great day catching up with Tony Hunter and meeting sonny172cup.

Plucky 106 steed that Mr Hunter hustled about in for the day, which I have developed a huge soft spot for.

Mine clocked past the magical 100k miles on the way back;

And then it got wet (not bad beading given it was a good month since it was cleaned);

Up next, Llandow and Oulton in August, pretty much back to back. Cannot wait.

Another minor update. I bought a few things to go in the garage that I'd wanted for a while, and will come in very useful for the up and coming trackdays scheduled. First up, bought a low entry, aluminium race jack, 2.5 ton from SGS Engineering. Great bit of kit :)

Also bought a Clarke Impact Driver.

And this change is for @Tim. and @cat171

Fitted the side repeaters that @caymanr26 kindly gave me. Cheers bud :)

This weekends plans, I've got 182jwilliams coming over tomorrow to replace his discs and pads, and then early Sunday got a SC run out which should be good. I'll try and clean the car tomorrow if I get time.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'

Looking good buddy.

Bout time the garage became better equipped. Is the jack low and long enough to get to the chassis leg no problem? Thats the reason I love my Costco one (Arcon or something like that?)

Repeaters look much better too.

Yep, the jack gets under the car nicely :)

Cheers, I'm going to schedule a BBQ at some point towards the end of summer, so hopefully catch up then if you can make it.

I have the same impact wrench, what power model did you go for? Think mine was 200nm

Shame I didnt get time to have a proper mooch around your car at Snett
Click to expand...

Morning chaps! It's the 220nm one Sonny. The car was tucked around the back of Hunters shedvan at Snet, it's no racer, but it goes well enough / fulfils it's track day purpose :)

The body of that clarke impact gun looks identical my sealey just coloured different. Probably the same lol.

My impact gun is one of the best things I have ever bought!

@CUB is the lsd really worth getting? Isn't it about a grand? Make any difference on the road? I could never feel it working on my r26 tbh.

I noticed Tim's in his R26 alot more on track than i did when a passenger with him on the road. Llandow is where i felt it really working for the first time. Where i was having to keep partial throttle coming in and out of the bus stop Tim's foot was flat on the floor !!! It left me rather speechless !

Personally, out of all the mods I've done I think it's been the best. You can get the power down earlier and harder, without losing traction at the front. Everyone knows these cars corner well, but the LSD adds another dimension to them, IMO. They are also a must if you are planning on more power (I still dream of a supercharger).

Downside, as you highlight they aren't cheap. Mine was £1200, and it's a gearbox out job to fit which adds cost. If you are interested @NorthloopCup is a top bloke who helped me sort the Gripper refurb cheaper than elsewhere (he can do the same on new purchases of both a Gripper or Quaiffes I believe).

If paying for someone else to remove the box, rebuild with the gripper and refit like most people on here will require, then its more like double that.

As chip says, the cost was a fairly large sum for me but the drive after was incredible.

If I bought another Clio i think that would be one of the first things I'd do, instead of trying to chase bhp. IMO.

Re: Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc

A 2K diff makes sense if you are building a 10K+ clio, less so if you are buying a clio cause they good value out of the box, so its all down to what you want the car for and how long you are keeping it really.
