my track car ,avit,

[avit]

Hello good Sirs, I have just bought myself a lovely Clio 172. I have just changed the engine mounts, oil, brake fluid, coolant and I have ordered black diamond brakes pads.

I'm just wondering what else I need before I can have some fun on a track

Please post some pictures of your track car, to give me some inspiration.

 

[avit]

Just to say this is my every day car. I would like to go on a RWYB day or on track just for fun. I'm not worried about not having the fastest car.

 

[Bazzon]

You should have ordered. Brembo Max HC disc, Ferado DS2500 Pads and some Braided lines

Then a set of 15 inch wheels with some sticky tyres.

Then remove weight.

[ForceIndia]

Woaah nelly. Bit of punctuation/spelling and maybe people will be able to figure out what you're asking.

 

[Bazzon]

15s are better for track and are cheaper for Tires.

The standard clutch is fine no point in changing unless its slipping.

Good brakes, good suspension and remove weight.

 

[avit]

sorry i have got dyslexia and i am trying to spell ,,.im going to post some pictures on saterday off how the car is looking atm

 

[ForceIndia]

If you are going on track days then the musts are good brakes and new brake fluid and all the oils which you have covered. Also change the gear oil and power steering oil, check the steering and suspension bushes if the car is 5years or older. if you are going to lighten the car by stripping all the trim out then some new springs and shocks will need to be matched to the cars new weight loss.
I've just bought a Cup, well 2 months ago, and I'm going to be tracking it as well but not stripping it out. Just done all the above items and will be taxed and MOT'd by the end of the month. Good luck and have fun.

[Bazzon]

Have a search on here plenty of tire threads.

R888s or A048,

Paradas are "ok" but dont really stand up to any real abuse on track the one think they have going for them is the price.

[avit]

Ive found paradas are fine on track Bazzon. Fairly soft but mine lasted hard track abuse in the summer and plenty of hard road use. Very good for the price.

Avit - for a fun track car, all you need is good brakes (brembo max discs from gsh on ebay) ferodo ds2500 pads, and any form of braided lines and some new brake fluid... and some good rubber (paradas will be more than fine for this). If you're only doing rwyb and trackdays for fun, you dont need to splash out on r888's.

The rest can wait, plenty will track with standard exhaust, interior in etc etc... and even standard cars!

Do the above, and go out and enjoy it

i live in surrey im looking at doing a brands hatch track day asap but do you no of eny cheap fun track days i should look into .,thanks

888's are mint, but as said if its only for abit of fun, £400 odd on some 888's is abit much. They are awesome though!

You need either 195/45/16, or 205/45/16, or 888's will be 195/50/16 or 205/50/16 i think

thanks for tyer size dude

 

[172Ben]

lol, no, there normally £100 a corner roughly.

 

[avit]

i dont think thats to bad tbh .my bmw tyers are 135 pounds a corner .and thats why i sold that car becouse it was big fat slow and cost to much ,,.,.



bit cheeky but enyone got enypics of 888s on stander alloys

 

[172Ben]

Thing that put me off was they only lasted me about 4000miles, so its alot of money for not alot of use.

 

[avit]

thease right http://www.walish.co.uk/gallery/albums/fiesta_rs/DSC_2550.jpg n good tyers do add to the look of a car thow imo

 

[172Ben]

There the tyres, but they are 15".

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Hankook Rs2's close to the levels of grip you'll see from the r888's (thay'll have us believe) and much longer life expectancy im going for these next

What size would you be looking at

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Might be worth chatting to these guys http://www.rarerims.co.uk/ i buy my tires from here and if you say your a cliosport.net member you seem to get free shipping

 

[avit]

just standerd 16" 172 alloys cheers il have a look

 

[avit]

just looked good site gana give them a call monday ,.,.thanks

 

[corky_79]

Don't dismiss Kumho V700s either. They have amazing grip and offer a vast range of compounds.

 

[Timmyevo6]

tyre wise, its gotta be AO48's all day long, they have re-enforced side walls, i've used all other tyres and the AO48's are the best in my opinion, second only to a set of mitchelin SB9 slicks! The best place to buy them is Ears motorsport, OR demon theives, (speak to James) and say Ears quoted you £430 for the set ALL in INC P+P!

R888's are better in the wet though, but in the dry the temps on the R888's go though the roof!

cheers, Tim.
