I thought I should do something with my 172. Full details will follow but for now I'll just leave these here:

If I wrote up everything we'd done on this project it would take up most of CS and Google would fall over trying to index it so consider this the abridged version with lots of pictures in place of several K words :) In short James required a car that would be competitive in Hillclimb and Circuit...

We did a very quick write up in our section on this but here's a more detailed one with lots more photos etc. Nick Jones Racing comisioned us to upgrade their X85 Clio Cup race car for competitive use in the WSSC Championship, as far as we are aware this is the first X85 in the UK to upgraded...

Oh its on :D Remapped Super-Hicas controller to get it up and running before moving the whole car onto an SQ6M. Just need to design some rear uprights now. Going to aim for a bolt on to a standard rear beam although I may need to shortern the standard rear beam to fit it all in. Upright...

So much better than the standard Cup seats. Just need to mod the sub frames to get them nice and low now :) Cheers M

This weekend saw the first Britcar race of the season with BPM fielding the 2009 Spec X85 Super Endurance Clio. To say it was a challenging 90min race was an understatement with Hail, Sun and Rain all in the race distance and a fairly large crash at the start bringing out the safety car and...

Here's a sneak peek of the Super Cups new colour scheme. The chequered flags might not make it onto the final one though ;) Ambient Graphics (www.ambient-graphics.com) Have done the design and I reckon its spot on! They've recently done a friend of mines Elise and their workmanship and...

As I fitted some Bilstein Coilovers yesterday (courtesy of JamSport) and cleaned it today, for the first time in weeks, it seemed rude not to take some decent photos of it: Renault Badge Quality Control Failure! Bilstein Coilover. What CL's do to Turini's!!! Gear...

And still uses it everyday? My daily use laptop for data off load from cars, cal work, t'internet etc is a Panasonic CF-27 Toughbook. It's a PII 300 with 256MB of ram and a 6GB hard disk running XP. Still works like it was new and manages 3 hours off a full charge. I've tried to replace...

Right, Going to get the Clio wrapped at some point over the coming months as my friendly motorsport graphics place owes me a cheapie. All ideas on colour/design greatfully recieved. Can be anything really as they can do large format printing. Camo anyone? Cheers M
