[cliosport-carl]

And I have put my harnesses in differently so don't worry

 

[JoeMarano]

Cage looks good is it fitted? Did you use the supplied fittings?That sound deadening stuff has got to go lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

Yeah all fitted now

 

[JoeMarano]

Hang on wait....you bought a cage with harness bars and then didnt use them? lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

Hang on wait....you bought a cage with harness bars and then didnt use them? lol

I'm unsure how to fit them with 3 point harnesses ??

 

[cliosport-carl]

Hang on wait....you bought a cage with harness bars and then didnt use them? lol

This is the only way I have found on google images put them on to see what it looked like but changed it

 

[JoeMarano]

Im no expert but I thought people wrapped them around the cage but that looks fine to me.

Surprised you didn't take the sound deadening tar stuff out though..

 

[cliosport-carl]

I will be over the next few weeks I've been in London over the weekend and have a track session next Sunday so needed to get it in before I ran outa time

 

[JoeMarano]

Have I asked how you find the clubsports and how you fitted them? Its what im probably going to get so trying to ask as many people as possible.

 

[cliosport-carl]

Well I have a set of home made subframes and have just bolted the side mounts straight to the frames no runners I'll get a pic soon

 

[cliosport-carl]

Well had a good morning at curbrough until my diff circlip decided to no longer work [emoji24]

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right got some pics of some bits whilst the drive shaft was out I decided to put my pagid blues on

Then set about changing the box oil as I hadn't done it when I sorted bits out

And over the weekend I decided to get the tent out ready for fcs and gave it a good clean

 

[cliosport-carl]

So big things are happening well kinda... What an amazing weekend at combe well I enjoyed it anyway and the car did to

Glad it passed the noise test but also lasted the session on track

And the video

Where did you get the headlights from ? And are they xenons or have you swapped to normal ?

 

[cliosport-carl]

I've taken the xeons out there eBay specials for £50

 

[Craig1974]

I've taken the xeons out there eBay specials for £50

Is it a straight swap ? I've almost given up trying to clean mine

 

[cliosport-carl]

Is it a straight swap ? I've almost given up trying to clean mine

Yeah plugs straight in

 

[Craig1974]

Yeah plugs straight in

What about bulb holders etc ? Does a normal bulb just connect to the xenon bulb holder ? If that makes sense ?
I'm clueless to all this, so sorry for all the questions

 

[cliosport-carl]

You xenon headlamp unit out and plug the new unit back in you need different bulbs but it's just swapping the unit over

 

[cliosport-carl]

So today some bits came excuse the mess I've just cleaned it off

 

[cliosport-carl]

[cliosport-carl]

Right nothing has happened since the track day bar the realisation of not having and left tyres but ah well I have now got my wheel caps and they have been painted which look pretty good

I have since decided to do all 4 so I get a better match not that there would have been much difference

And lastly I have just got an oreca group a which Is due for delivery hopefully tomorrow and I will be fitting very soon

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right new oreca now on

It sounds epic only I broke a bolt for the exhaust bracket so need to sort it out but couldn't do it today also realised how bold my tyres where form castle combe so will have to sort this out soon

[cliosport-carl]

Had a good couple of days with the clio went on holiday few weeks ago and just before took it apart to find the knocking and found a broken gearbox mount upon fixing this I noticed the spark plug I had helicoiled recently had come lose but this is now fixed and I'm happy again however did go see a focus st it just didn't float my boat
