This is my 3rd clio (2 DCi's before this one) have had it on the road for 6 months, covered 13k and done 4 trackdays. Croft twice, Cadwell Park (Awesome track) and donnington park. I bought it as a mint condition standard example with FRSH and only 47k, I did plan to keep it standard but that didn't last long.
After owning it a month I booked a trackday at croft, in preparation for this i bought some DS2500 pads, ktec braided lines and super blue ATE fluid.
This is the point where the bug bit! I really enjoyed the track time and wanted to make the car more track focused. I have since been through lots of different suspension setups to find a set up i like that gives a good compremise between the daily commute and trackdays. It has developed a few issues and am going to keep track of them in this thread, you will see the issues further down.
