e92 + E46 M3 + Cup
Yea had to be done, just makes it look alot smarter & didnt have to bother with back to black on them either!
Ideal price for a track car
Black Gold Trophy
looks great with the cupra splitter, I'd just wack an open cone on the end of the throttle body, thats what the cup racers have!
e92 + E46 M3 + Cup
Thanks mate, me likes the cupra splitter even more every time i look at it!
Was tempted to go down the cup racer open air style way but you can really feel the diffrence from heat soak & every one knows clio bays are mobile ovens lol.. so thought i would "try" some thing diffrent.. may be an epic fail lol but its worth a try

** UP-DATE **
Well finnaly some progress occured on the track **** today, she has a roof over her head thanks to tompons, nice one for sorting that out mate!
Work will now be carried out in a nice thermal insulated warehouse
So today was the first time its been driven since the 17's were ditched, engine mount fixed & the coil overs fitted & the bucket seat & harness! must say it goes pretty well, f**king road noise is unreal lol, cant imagine what the straight through sytem is gonna make it like too drive!
At its new home
So me & ivan got it over there in one piece & began a few hours work, Ivan getting the last door card off, removed all the others but never got round to removing the passenger as they still havent sold - preventing the purchase off the carbon door cards :dapprove: Thanks again Ivan for the helping hand
Few shots of the inside now that its pretty bare, the drivers seat & harness was fitted to take its first drive, Thanks again pep, seat will be getting removed for painting the mess that was left by the sound deadning removal
Also removed the airbags, the airbag module was out & the batterey was disconected but me & ivan still took caution when pulling it out, imagine that fucker going off in your hands lol
Should now get some progress going so that its ready for the rolling road on January 31st & then it needs to be complete for the ring at the end of april :evil:
Sorry for the crap pics, was done on the phone :dead:

Sorry mate, gonna be keeping it for the moment, would be a nightmare having the fan running flat out just to keep the car at temp
e92 + E46 M3 + Cup
Whens the big day that it goes on track then
Hopefully the end of april, The ring! have wanted to do it since i first lap on the xbox years ago
should be a few of us going, tag along if your around the area!Got so much to do, "trying for 750kg's" but think it will be more like 850kgs which would still be very quick power - weight ratio, gotta have a goal lol
Also hoping to get it over 180bhp with out opening the engine & still running the standard 172 4-1 manifold, done it with my daily driver for under £450 so cant see why it cant be done
Driving it to today was ace, feels just like i wanted it too - big go kart :evil:
Ivan, stopped at halfords & picked up a full set of Torx bits
, renault would have to use a T50 bit for the steering wheel :dapprove:
R5 GTT
Sounds like a good days work has been done. I am sure 180bhp can be gained from external engine mods.
e92 + E46 M3 + Cup
As am i, done it on my daily driver 172, all comes down to how abused it has been through the 90,000k... January 31st will reveal all lol
e92 + E46 M3 + Cup
Matt-d, still gotta drive to the tracks & be used for the odd spirited drive so cant see the cage being needed, yes its safer & would improve cornering speed but the thing handles very well... but lacks the pick up which is what the weight saving is for.. time will tell.. funds would also prevent the cage, a real racing cage would be £700 up, i'm planning to build the whole thing, includeing the cost of the car for under £3000
Now work has started again there should be regular pic up-dates mate

you can pick up a new cage for under 500 notes, and once your at speed you dont need so much pickup as you will be exiting corners faster, so swings and roundabouts and 40kgs wont hold you up much at all. also you carry spare rims with slicks fitted and swap at the track. now you appear to have already made your mind up that a cage isnt required which is fair enough, but for a trackcar you will want one after you see the differance they make on handling. have you ever done a trackday before?

I bet that'll feel raw with all that weight shed!
Is the ph2 pretty standard now?
£450 for 180bhp without manifold! What mods mate?

JMS Tuning does it best... All work was carried out in my old special Clio tuning workshop, also known to most as a drive way :rasp:
Will let you know when your next at one of the local meets mate!
Bash, need to speak to you about speed spec soon, also, still got your speakers lol
MoRpH3uS, still gotta see how far you are from the alps, the PH2 is going to get some usage when i'm in the land of the sports :evil:
Right, so will see most of you tomorrow at the workshop, more stripping!.. oh & brain storming lol
Have done a track day, not in a clio though, where would be the best place to get a cage then for under £500.. 40kgs is alot lighter than i thought it would be
Thanks for all the comments
