update.....
been and collected some new wheels today
there the ph1 172 15'' oz f1 wheels. bought from guillaume (cheers shaun!) down in hartley wintney, not too far from reading/basingstoke. was a 4 hour 230 mile round trip but i think it was well worth it.
wheels will be used for track use, and am going to repaint them a different colour not such which at the moment. set on orange, but anyone else got any suggestions?
anyways, here's some pics...

Re: Maynard's 172 Track Car Project - update!
right little update today.
booked my first trckday, went with motorsport vision and have booked for a renault sport evening at bedford in three weeks time. to say im exited like a kid at xmas is an understatement.
stuff to sort now:
clean wheels up
respray them (still dont know what colour - there only for track day use so need a mad colour!)
one new pe2 for the track wheels.
buy a helmet
talking of helmets can anyone recommend me one, ie do they have to be full face or half face?

little update.
got a a new pe2 sorted for the track wheels. £62 fitted i didnt think was too bad. thinking i may need another one as ill have uneven tread around the car. one being brand new and the other are worn down, id say 3-4 mm left on each of them.
ordered helmet at 1pm yesterday with demon tweeks, and it arrived at my desk at work this morning at 9 o'clock! great service again.

after getting the new tyre sorted and the other wheels balanced last week, i decided to trial fit them tonight after work to make sure everything was a ok. took it out for a spin and the wheels feel different to my turinis ive got on for road use.
is it just me or when you when you've got smaller wheels on, and you feel like your doing abotu 30mph, the speedo reads around 35mph? is that normal?
anyways some pics, actually really like the look of them - maybe even more so then the turini's?!
what do we all think?

well...
i did my first track day on the renaulsport evening at bedord last friday. was so much fun and probably the best £95 i've ever spent!
i was probably the slowest on track but i enjoyed it - which i suppose is all that matters
here's a dodgy pic, only one i really got of my car as the camera decided to pack up for good.
just an excuse to get a digital SLR me thinks

cheers for comments guys!
well stripped the rest out of the car yesterday/today so all done now. resistors put in, stray wires tied up with leccy tape. so now i've got all that done, just need to get the tar out and spray the inside so it looks a bit smarter! c&c welcome as always.

right nothing else has happened over last week or so!
just to let you all know where i am with some plans on what i need to get done.
- refurb/respray track wheels orange hopefully next couple weeks, weather dependant
- decide on what coilovers to go for - vmaxx or ktr ones - is it worth it? Or hold out forever to get some h&r's second hand when money is right?!
- new front brembo hc discs and ds2500 pads
- new rear discs and pads genuine renault
- paint calipers - still undecided so any suggestions?
- steering wheel - probably going to be a sparco suede wheel
- clean up rear interior, ie tar and loom, and respray
- decide on what to do with engine. - standard / 182 manifold,inlets,remap,cams? / itb's?

Car looks sweet bud, stance looks well with that drop.
the orange pics look tidy, think you should go that way!
In response to an older query (please delete if dragging up something too old, just thought it maybe useful to other people who may have the same problem)
If you ask for Set Screws they have the shank fully threaded, bolts have only part of the shank threaded.
Like Maynard says get M8 high tensile one, they should have 8.8 on the top at minimum. be wary of A2 stainless sold in screwfix/toolstation they are 5.6 and not realy up to spec for the forces on a car.
Sorry for the slight off-topic, keep up the good work :clap:
