Indeed!
If the thread was "is this the best value end product to enjoy on a trackday" then the reponses in this thread would make more sense.
Totally disagree.
Bufty!
Clio 172 Cup Edition
lots more replies since i last looked at this thread!!
I appreciate the varied oppinions this forum has to offer, and the latter oppinions have definatly made me feel happier about the whole project.
After speaking with Chi the other night about different options I've decided to get the car track ready in standard form and do a track day at oulton in it, the plan is to get Chi there the same day in one of his highly modified specimines and have a go of that too, i can then decide where i want to be.... I already know its going to be the latter!!!
After then, I've decided to sell the Clio on in standard form and buy somthing thats already had alot of work done to it, then spend the rest of the budget adding more mods and perfecting that car.
Thanks to Chi's advice i should definatly end up with a much better car for the same budget..... hopfuly a fully loaded track Track 182.... maybee a trophy.....
Anyway, i'll be sharing my experience of repairing the cup and my first track day with you guys. The upside to this rout is i dont have to wait till after september for the first track day :clap:

Nice looking install. My engines not in yet, but it does look pretty cool already I think. James is installing it and is a proper bufty, he even colour coded my brake lines... all my cars and trackcars are kept pretty bufty on outside and inside and under bonnet. Cant stand tatty things.

Thats what I'm talking about lads!
Im not gonna lie.
It took a while.
If you get a few minutes then have a look at my project thread Lee.
Scotts super clean ph1.
You can just buy the lines in any colour you want already made for common cars like the clio mate, I had some blue ones on my old blue mk1.

Mint 1*2's for sale-
Thanks. Gonna get James to Paint the Alcon sign and the wording on the brakes in blue. Should look spunky.
Alcon brakes are EPIC.
I had them on the race car, the clio could stop on a sixpence.
Agree... but a nice luxury! over 8,000 track miles on my ExigeS now. weirdly though only the Splitter has ever needed any attention... although I do realise I am now gonna totally write the car off next time out after saying this!!! DOH!

Sorry Chip I ment the disc and calipers.
I've already got the Hel stainless lines.
They are a couple of K worth of brakes, and probably overkill.
The wilwood kit that porkie had on before was very good (now re-purposed onto my mk1) and is only 699 inc vat to buy new

I knew they'd be expensive, i've been looking at that kit along with the same kit but in the 295mm spec with the separate bell's and rotas.
Also the K-Sport kit and the kit that Hi Spec sell.
Cheers for the info mate.

Up to you - But id go with now
Mines cost a 3rd of the complete done and finished - Leaves many more money for time behind the wheel which to me , is what its about , even though building it was fun alot of "track Cars" on here spend more time being build or in bits than anywhere near a track

Hi Shaun, I had the same dilemma as you have now a month ago..... Bottom line I went for it and built one for the track. My initial build photos are In the gallery, haven't regretted any of it. Similar spec to your list above and to be fair still going lol.....
couple of my mates did the same, one just sold his 52 cup for 5.5k so you most possibly won't be out of pocket if you do decide to sell, just keep a good record of everything you do and the receipts of course....
it is all down to personnel circumstance and how far you want to go... :S, regardless it will be fun in fairly standard or modified form and the grin factor will be there guaranteed!
