Sometimes it's easily over looked the little changes that you make or the little things that people don't see. I've spent a little bit of time this week putting together a spec for the car. Interesting thinking back and trying to remember every little adjustment or purchase you've made. Clio...

Cheers! Will be working on the car again in the next week or so, so will have some more updates. I'm really really impressed with how the gripper has changed the car. Obviously combined with everything else that's been done to it! I'd say one of the best things I've changed on the car!

Great little NA cars if you can appreciate them for that! Yes. Sorry just finished adding the update from the last few track days including the one from Oulton with some videos. Were you there on Saturday? Guessing you came across the car at some point? Awesome track and really well suited to...

Update - Oulton Park 18th November 2017 The weekend started with getting the car and trailer loaded up Wednesday and Thursday evening. I had managed to get all the little bits done like the gearbox temp sensor and the alignment measured the previous weekend so all that was left was to load...

Leading up to Oulton park in November I started thinking about what else I wanted to get sorted before the track day. All started with the important tyre prep. Picked up another set of Clio 197 wheels and sent them away to be powder coated. Also stocked up on some spare tyres for the...

While the car was off the road on axle stands it was a perfect time to do something I'd been waiting 12 months to do with it... Out came the rest of the interior to make room for the Safety Devices cage. Powder coated yellow with double rear crosses and harness bar. Rear beam shimmed to...

Following on from Cadwell I wasn't 100% happy with the gearbox to be honest. Feels fairly stiff in a few gears and the oil seemed to really be going off when the box temperature was very high.. Update on that coming up shortly... 8 wheels went off for powder coating so the car was left on the...

Cadwell Park 27th July 2017 Well I'd finished work for 6 weeks so perfect time to get a track day in mid week which I normally can't do. Been wanting to do Cadwell Park since I got the car so it was a perfect opportunity to get it done and make the most of the summer weather! I set about...

Realised that I've hardly written anything on here since midway through the year. Thought i'd take an evening and write up some progress from the year and get this thread up to scratch. I am a regular on Clio197/200 but my thread over there appears to be more of a diary than a discussion. Here's...

Addtional Video.... This is a video of my driving around with Chris in the afternoon. Really interesting moment at the end of the video hitting an oil spill around the back straight doing in the region of 110-115mph. Final Video Handed the car over to another friend who has been driving...

Ahh yeah, didn't really get a good look at the car to be honest with us going getting lunch. Really happy with the car as it is now it's mapped however it has started me thinking onto the next big power upgrade coming for 2018.

It was a clio 182 and yeah it was a kit car with issues with the gear selector during mapping.

Unsure of how many people actually read these updates but I've been enjoying sitting down and writing up what's been going on with the Clio Track car and keeping this thread up to do Renault Sport Day 6th May 2017 The weather forecast was looking really promising for the weekend so as usual I...

Reporting back from Snetterton from Easter weekend. I'll start by letting the photos do the talking... Hounded this Caterham like this for 2 laps and still wouldn't let me past while I was out with an Instructor getting some driver training. Car looking and feeling so much better now it's...

Cheers Joe! Must keep this thread up to date. Loads has changed with the car lately. Will have to catch up at some point, you got any track days in mind?
