TrackCar & F30 330d
I believe the car is still at northhampton Motorsport getting the engine loom made, engine mapped, suspension changed and the suspension set up/ corner weighted 
Another week or so wait, but it'll be pretty much good to go when it's back

I noticed this mate. Last time I saw Matt he had brakes waiting to be collected. Maybe it just didn't work out

That changed a long time back...

It is because I have nothing left to do myself
It is currently
1. Having an OMEX engine loom made
2. Having a race tech and DL1 logger with camera 4 system fitted and configured
3. Having the KW suspension replaced with AST
4. Having the interior switch panel made (will go in the new panel being made by Autoflock)
5. Having a map done on the 710
6. Having the corner weights and suspension setup
7. A few bits and bobs and final check over
All at Northampton Motorsport. I should be getting it back soon (We had to wait 3 weeks for the AST's) and then It will be testing and track days ready for Track Day Trophy next year.

Hello Mark,
sorry couldnt email back the other day, my mobile broadband was playing up with the bad weather. Anyway to answer your question regarding the size I have made the panel the same size as the top part of the fiber board template you sent, I thought it would be best to use this dimension as your better to have it slightly larger than too small, anyway the top is exactly the same.
Nearly finished the grp work so not long till its time to get the sanding block out, I can't wait :-(
Here you can see it starting to take shape

Hi All
Update long in the coming I went over to NHM to weigh in and the car weighs 880kg without me in it. I took some shots of the new AST's whilst there and these are below.
Mmmm very nice. The corner weights and geometry are now done. I shall be selling the KW's now as new unused which is what they are.
I was going to take some pictures of the engine loom but when I opened the bonnet the wiring was that neat and tucked away I could not see it LOL NHM quality of workmanship is ace and I am very pleased.
This week they are finalising the interior wiring with wiring in the race dash, DL1 data logger and camera 2 system. I bought some nice cnc stack mounts for the cameras and they look nice on the roll cage. They are also mapping it this week too so I am excited to see what it makes. On Nov 20th I am taking the car to Donnigton for a track day, feel free to pop along to say hello if you're near.

Looks very nice Mark, are the arb mounts upside down? Or mounted that way for a reason ?

Funny I was just looking at them.
Zetec YO!!!!!

They Direzza's Mark?can't quite see them on my computer

Yes they are Jay although I am unsure on the rates, will check.

Mine is the MK2

I will get NHM to change them, which bit is upside down? The L bracket?
BMW Z4
Yes Direzzas Tony

Relocated it because I wanted the wires for the cutoffs and fire system etc on the other side and didn't want them near water in case the car is upside down and all the water dumps over them. That really was the only reason to be honest, also there is a lot of space on the drivers side doing nothing.

I am doing all the rounds in TDT next year and maybe some others with some track days etc. I will make sure to film it all and post them to Youtube to keep the thread interesting. The whole propject has taken longer than I thought it would when I started out to be honest but I have and am enjoying it a lot and I do love my little Clio a lot
NHM have and are doing an awesome job wiring in my whole dash system and cameras, they have wired the kenlowe into the ecu now and are giving me a pit lane limiter button too.

Yes the L bracket, I cant see it making any difference but it will be very low at the back and may catch on a trailer or something.
Also one of my brackets bent so would be worth welding on a web to strengthen them.

Now you have me worried Jay LOL. Someone recommended those rates although I cant remember who to be honest. lets suck it and see eh. I was also told the other day that with my cage I wont need the ARB so again let's see. You could fit on a penny black what I know about spring rates to be honest
Is it definitely 140 rear and not front?
I think they have done that to allow for clearance to adjust the rear shocks

I've noticed that you have used an allen bolt for the topstrut hole,I guess this has been done to achieve more camber adjustment,I'm afraid they will move,try and get the proper bolts in there,even if it means filing the slots out a little bit.

So true. I have never known a race car like the clio, it constantly wants to kill you by any means possible, 1 of hem is nuts/bolts loosening 15 minutes after they wete murder tightened!
At the races my brother spends 45mins spanner checking it every time it goes out.
We did a whole season racing the evo and never spanner checked it at the track once.

Let me know if your going Mark.

Sorry if this is not considered OnTopic but Ill share it anyway...
I was recomended 100Nm front and 140Nm rear by Curtis @ AST.
Settled for 120rear as I have a rear ARB and 100 front as recomended. However after testing it out on track its still feel like its rolling a lot. (not tailhappy at all btw) If its because of to little compression, soft tirewalls or to soft springs I dont know?
Judging by the photos Id say I could go up to 120Nm fromt and 140Nm rear without a problem?!?
Oh and the car is 1100kg with full fluids and me in it.
