I have 197 cams and custom timing (not sure if grp N) and 192bhp. Similar mods to yours except standard airbox and 200 cel cat.

Puffer jacket guy and grey trackie guy are the most scummy in that situation, closely followed by the rest of them, plebs.

Second to stripping the interior out, a lightweight battery is the cheapest weight saving mod £ per kg I think. £100 battery will save you around 10kg...

Im not very technical when it comes to electrics but simply put, cold cranking amps is how much 'power' it is able to release when powering up the starter motor. Needs to be high enough CCA basically. Amp hours is how much/how long the battery can hold charge. Google will give a better answer...

If you are keeping it in the same place you will need to buy/make a bracket to hold it in place. You can get them as light as 1kg but which ever one you go for, check it will hold enough charge and have enough cold cranking amps.

You dont see a max and paddy reference very often, fair play.

Great day at Snetterton on 21st Sept, first time in the dry and first outing since the engine work. Felt much better, had some gearbox oil try to escape during the first session pushing it but after a clear up it was fine for the rest of the day, bit weird. Could have leaked some from the...

Orange of course 💪

All non essential wires removed from the tailgate today. Waiting on some locking pins to arrive, then I can cut out the inner boot skin and remove latch. Repaired a couple of surface rust areas behind the bumber. Then I had to grind off a seized exhaust hangar bolt, scrape off more surface...

After a bit of chatting with fellow clio owners and reading the interwebs the general thought was that the weighbridge was way off. No way it sill over 1000kg. The door inner skins will be cut out when I fit plastic windows early next year :)

The U piece of hose for bypassing the heater matrix, was that an off the shelf part or was it cut down from another piece? Need the same for mine 😊

Got the clio on a weighbridge today. I think the official renault kerb weight for mine is 1110kg, mine weighed 1020kg today with 1/8 tank of fuel. So 90kg lost. Was hoping it would be a bit lighter but this sounds about right really. Still chasing the goal of 200bhp per ton, so another 60kg...

Big week for the clio! Had the following; Cambelt Aux belt Dephaser pulley PMS lightweight pulleys & AC delete kit 197 cams with custom timing Water pump ARP rod bolts 182 manifold Ktec sports cat OEM clutch & cable TTV flywheel Various seals replaced Black series ARB & steering rack bushes...

Alex is currently working his Magic...

I'll be near Harlow this week, I wonder if he would be free to let me view it, it looks like a bargain! :LOL:

Id advise to go and sit in one/drive one. Your knees might be right up close to the wheel which isnt ideal. I'm 6'2" and wouldnt want to be any more cramped tbh!

Just chrome plate the whole ABS system..., or gold plate if ur baller

If it's mainly track car id go black, wont be too stiff for a track car. No lifetime guarantee on the Black series though so if that's an issue for you get purple.

I'm not a nutter by any stretch of the imagination and would like to keep my clio in one once piece but anything can happen on track, oil, coolant, mechanical failure etc... :)

If I spin in the clio and hit someone in a 40k car they can f**k off if they think I'm paying 1000's to fix it. They should either be insured or expect to repair it themselves. That's the risk you take if you don't get insurance!

This is the cure for most problems iirc

One lap from last night, ignoor the overlay, it's fooked. First time at Brands in the clio... :)

The back of mine looks higher than yours and I have lowering springs! No doubt my weight transfer situation is messed up too because it's also fairly lively at the rear, but it's also fun, and I have an ARB. Coilovers are next on the list!

Brands Hatch evening session today. 4 red flags, 3 caused by mx5's. Only got in 2, 15-2 min sessions so quite frustrating. Clio behaved though and got me home again which is priority no. 1.

Warped my old OEM brembo discs at Bedford so replaced with Brembo HC discs courtesy of George at RTR. Also removed some more redundant wires from interior loom

Life is too short to be afraid to store tyres in your back garden :)

Update; Inlets and throttle body portmatched and gasflowed. Went for a dull colour :)
