She's in there somewhere!!!

And here she is still in all her glory and in super condition 5 years on from when James first had it. If anyone is interested in the car please let me know as it would be nice if it were kept in the Cliosport community. http://www.flickr.com/photos/92189705@N05/8380525229/...

Hi everyone and James, I see you're back in the Clio world again. Well to keep you up to date on the Cup I still have her and it's been used all this time as a 2nd car, it's only covered about 3000 miles per year so it still only has low 40k miles on it. It lives in the garage most of the...

Sold to me, over the moon with the car, it's a real minter. James, made the boat with 20 minutes to spare and she ran perfectly the whole way. Got her washed and took the wheels off to clean them when i got her home so don't fear it'll be well looked after!! I think it's time to enjoy it now!!

Kirkistown N.Ireland mate. Yeah a rudder may have helped things along very well:cool:

Another trackday went very well yesterday even tho it was at sometimes almost undriveable on track, flat out up to 5th gear we were getting wheel spin due to the standing water which all added to the fun. It did however dry up as the day went on and as ever the slicks made an appearance. In...

Ready for the upcomming trackdays!! Although the time has come to maybe sell the good auld 182 after the next couple of runs!!

To start with mate I can't speak highly enough of the Bilstein coilover kit so your talkin £700 there to start with, If you fancy an odd trackday the H&R camber adj bolts did improve the handling yesterday. Depends what your budget is tho, I think I went slightly over mine to be fair but sure...

Yeah the clio wud be quicker round the track than some std 120/130bhp elise's but the 111s and 111r are a bit harder to sicken! I would maybe have more grip running on the toyo's than they would running on road rubber so braking and corner grip might be in my favour but I start to suffer a bit...

Thanks guys. I deal in tyre's myself so getting my hands on a set of toyo's isn't to hard!! They are well worth the money for the difference in performance over a road tyre when the car is in track use as mine is. Quite soft tho so don't expect too many trackdays out of a set of front...

No mate not yet, once this trackday is over that will be first in line of 'things to do' Just never got the chance to get round to it recently.

You've said your bit so bye bye mate, have a nice night.

Tacky or not it's a track car so it suppesed to be a bit of fun. 1. Not interested in making it look like a DCI so I can blow of Saxo drivers. 2. Don't want it to look like the cover of Radio Times. And yes it's just had 4.5 ltrs of Elf's finest for the trackday.

The good old trusty Team Dynamics with the Toyo R888's will be on this time tomorrow nite. Yeah just use the std 182 wheel for a bit of road driving.

Had a few trackdays over us now and the 182 is performing great, We're pushing a lot of car we shouldn't even be thinking about!! Had 1 trackday in pouring rain and I don't think we were overtaken all day!! Anyway we're out on sunday again and this time with H&R camber adj bolts fitted so I...

First run out and all seemed well!!!:) Few more of the clio and other tidy machinery!!

Hi mate, Bought it through Prima Racing and yeah it's an OMP cage which comes with the brackets to weld to the floor at the bottom of the B pillar. Comes with doors bars as well which i will probably fit at some stage once i source a set of above mentioned carbon door cards as the original cards...

Yep as you know anything can happen on the track so it's easier just transporting it!!!

Mounted the cooler to the bottom of the cross member in front of the radiator then ran the oil lines up beside the passenge side chassis leg and across to the sandwich plate location. The 13 row complete with lines fitted perfectly between the cross member and the plastic guard which is...

Venturi effect cooling appartently, we'll see how well they keep things cool in a weeks time!!

Got myself a a set of these bad boys for the track, now this is what i've been looking for from the start!! I'll get them stuck on the car this week and take a few good higher res photos now that she pretty much complete. First trackday in a week, Nice timing!!!:cool:

Comming very close now. Just have the cage to finish then bolt in the seats and harnesses. Might drop the ride height another few mm but I don't want it to low. Also need to set the alignment gear on her to see whats what. First trackday of the year is growing closer!!!:cool: :cool:

Yeah mate it looks a nice tidy well cared for motor, It'll still be well cared for but maybe driven slightly harder!!:cool: Anyway got the decat pipe fitted today in about 10mins, must have been the easiest and most straight forward part of the whole build so far!! Also got the oil cooler...

Getting a set of team dynamics, hopefully they'll be here soon!!:)

Hard work, long hours and no wife!!!;) She's taking shape nicely now, the big push is on for a trackday in a couple of weeks!!

Been a busy week so getting time to work on the motor was difficult but things are starting to take shape. Cage sitting in the car for a dry fit just to check everything, all looked fine so the mounts will be welded in this comming week. Also got the steering wheel stuck on!!! Poly bushes...

Finally the car's home, cam belt done and ready to start the hard work!! Got a lot of the interior removed today so first job is gettin the cage in, gonna make a start on that tomorrow so if I get a bit of peace to work on it hopefully it should be in this week along with the seats, harnesses...

Thought about doing that but fancied doin the work myself, plus I wanted a car which can be used as an everyday car if needed. Maybe a couple of years down the line once I've had my fun from this one I might go for a ex cup racer.

Wheels arn't exactly 2 my taste either but they were cheap and they'll do in the meantime. As I say would like a set of Team Dynamics on her eventually. There's 40k miles on the car so would have needed to change the bushes for a bit of track work anyway so went 4 the powerflex items to...
