RS Clio 200
I thought I might as well start on this forum with a little introduction with a build thread on my car progress so far.
It all started exactly 12 months ago when I decided I wanted to give trackdays ago so I sold my Passat CC and swapped it for a 2010 plate Clio 200. With a view to keeping it standard and just using it on track at the weekends. I went to my first track day Feb 2016 as a passenger and then the bug bit badly. It's been a steady upgrade process over the past 12 months with quite a few track days thrown in so far!
Here's a photo of the car when I got it 12 months ago.
Upgrades so far.
Sparco Evo Seats with 6 points racing harnesses.
Rear seats removed
AC Removed with AC Delete kit
Light weight Crank Pulley.
Full Cambelt kit and dephaser fitted.

Federal RSR - Dry wheels
Compbrake Adjustable top mounts
20mm spacers

Final Geo is 2.5' Camber Front, 1.5' Camber rear with 12'' of total toe out on the front.
Gaz Gold Coilovers with 600/350lbs springs
Upgraded Panel filter
Recently replaced the clutch and slave cylinder after failing at the last track day.
Where it all started in 2016 with the Renault Sport Track day at Oulton Park.
Few more track days along the way from Anglesey, Oulton Park and Snetterton.
Great photo below for all the Clios fans!
And the obligatory broken down Clio after a failed slave cylinder cut my last track day short at Anglesey right at dinner time.
I had loads of photos of all the upgrade stages I've been through since I started with this car but tried to keep it short and sweet with just some of the main photos.
Will post up some track days videos too if people are interested.
Lots more exciting things to come with this car including big 2 piece brake kit 330mm kit being fitted and tested on this car next week on behalf of Compbrake motorsport, Who I've also been working with to help design some new/redesigned products for the 1*2 market too!
