track

Hi Guys Following my track day this weekend I noticed the following on the brake discs. The discs are Brembo HCs and the pads are Carbone Lorraine RC5+. Any ideas what this could be? I'm guessing the pads have over heated? I will be taking the pads off to inspect at some point soon but thought...

Evening guys Just seeing if anyone is running Gaz Gha coilovers on track, and what their thoughts are on them. Just weighing up my options, will only be doing the odd TD now as have a new edition on the way so sort of on a budget to Cheers in advance scott

Well I'm hopefully doing the fluids on my 172 Cup track car (Engine Oil, Gearbox Oil and Coolant) and was wondering as I cant decide what brake fluid to use, I have mates who do sprints and track days who use either the Motul or Castrol (they run a Supercharged BMW Mini and an E46 M3) so I'm...

Hi all, As title. I have a ph1 172 track car which has an odyssey race battery. I don't use the car very often so every time I go to start it the battery is flat. I assume that it's being drained by the clock, immobiliser etc. I want to fit a battery cut off switch, as its a bit of a pain...

Has anyone tried the brembo max grooved discs from k-tech? I've just bought a 182 to put on the track and don't want to be having brake fade. There's also mixed reviews on pads on here? I was thinking ferodo DS2500 but some people think not? Cheers

Could make this a Kent meet this Saturday the 7th track time is £20 a session.

Has anybody got any pictures of a Ph2 Clio Cup with headlight blanks in thinking of doing it with mine as its just for track and i am having problems with my lights anyway. Just going to use my standard headlight and spray over them. Much appreciated Josh

Need to get this done tomorrow any ideas on if I can just go and get a boot from motor factors and how big a job is it? Cars on axle stand now and ready to go or wheels back on and take it somewhere tomorrow. Would rather tackle it myself as I want to learn.

Did one track day at Oulton with Carbon Lorraine pads on my shiny new white speed lines and they were coated with Gtechniq c5 and carlight/collanight (not 100% on the wax) endurance 915 and they have pretty bad staining off the brake dust but the front face where the wheel bolts go through have...

Hi, If changing the ARB and steering bushes, will the tracking need checking afterwards? Thanks Keith

Ok well I have always wanted a cup for the track and finally got my hands on one. It's already been stripped out, has coilovers, seats and harnesses, rear brace, and some wind deflectors, so not a bad start. My plan is to continue with the track theme, general tlc all round and add my own touch...

Hello Peeps, Well been lurking in the background on the forum for some time now, when I first joined I had a BG FF182 with cup packs which I ran for nearly 3 years and loved every minute of it. The 182 was meant to be a track car that I could run to work in, but for one reason or another it...

Ive been building a clio 172 iceberg silver over the years with the intention of using this on track. I am now trying to save a deposit for a house and I know if I itry to sell the car whole I will get no where near what its cost to build. I also have a clio 182 Cup as my daily so would just...

Hey all, Not been on here in a while but have returned for some advice. Trackday season is coming back up and I am looking into getting a set of 15" wheels. I've been looking at Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s and also Team Dynamics Monza Rs. The Monzas are considerably cheaper than the 1.2s and I...

Hi Just bought myself 2003 172 and I'm looking to make some upgrades and after reading on the forum for a while thought i would ask for some advice. I plan to use the car for some track days but will also be used for a daily so needs be useable on the road. I would like to start with the brakes...

Well seems as the weather is that great I have a set of Michelin ps3 which I have done about 40 miles on now the car is on the trailer ready to go Oulton tomorrow will then lack of scrubbing in cause me any problem on track tomorrow? I have a part worn set of AD08r in the van 1.5mm on fronts...

Hi guys, I've had my 172 a few months now and been lurking on the forums a little longer. Like many I plan to make it a dedicated track car, hopefully without a run-away budget. I need to strip the interior ready for a SD cage. I've had a search but can't find much - hoping this is a sign that...

After doing Oulton today im looking at raising the front, it sits too low. It isnt scrubbing on corners but i 'think' it would handle better ad although its not a fashion show, look better too. Also when measuring the height is it best to do it on the shock. The drivers side does need to be a...

So i expect many people have seen this a few times already but here we go again with another track project I've recently picked this up admittedly with problems, however we'll get around these in due course, for the time being its a 2002 172 with 74k on the clock, still standard as of yet, but...

I've been on here for a good couple of years now, but have always been against the idea of starting a thread for my track toy, mainly because I couldn't be bothered. I've been slowly collating all of my photos though and they are now stored reasonably well. So I thought I would make a change...

Evening all, I'm thinking of purchasing a Clio 182 as a road car, but i would really like it to be capable of performing track day duties. This would be a daily, which involves taking the kiddies to school, so no roll cages. I took part in a trackday towards the end of last year and I had the...

Hi guys. Been lurking around the forum for a few years now but only within the last 7 months actually purchased a Clio sport! Bought a 172 in pearl black completely standard, had one previous owner and a shed load of history, most of which was all from Renault dealers! A few scrapes and dents...

Bought this lump of scrap http://s738.photobucket.com/user/paul_gore1/library/Lump%20of%20scrap?sort=2&page=1a year ago as a bit of fun ,due to one reason and another I have listed below what we have done,the we is me and my cousin he builds these for a living and have included two of his cars...

As ive been mooching for the past what feels like ten years on what tyres to get, i will start it off. The usual suspects are 888's, a048's etc but i like the idea of a new kid on the block. There are plenty of threads dotted around on here but would be nice to get a thread dedicated to track...

Decided I wanted to do a few track days this in something cheap that I could have fun in without about expensive running costs and repairs etc, so started the hunt for a cheap 182. After a few weeks of looking I couldn't find anything local for the right price, then a ph1 172 came up on gumtree...

Bought this 182 with the idea of putting it on track a few times this year, it won't be finished by then but will be good to get it out a couple of times to see what's what. As im saving for a wedding I don't have a great deal of money to throw at it, so ill be trying to source various parts...

Here's a few pictures of the track day car as we're working on it, at the moment we've stripped it back, we're repairing it and giving it a respray....

Hi, I'm looking for something to make a flat floor in the drivers footwell of my clio, and also to make a floor/footrest in the passenger side. I like the look of these: But I dont like the price of either of them and I'm not fussed by the carbon. What has everyone used in their cars? Cheers

Hi guys, just a quick question. I bought a clio 172 recently with zero history. I'm very happy with it but in the rear window there is a cliosport.net sticker. I wondered if anyone could help me track down a previous owner and get some idea of how he kept it during his ownership :) Reg number...
