Thinking of turning my clio into a track car

[Franksx2005]

As title says, im thinking of turning the clio ive just bought in to a road legal track car, any tips and experiances would be greatful.

i will be collecting the car this week, its a mk1 phase 2 valver in dark blue.
Mods ive already got sitting in the garage from past clio and other cars are some kent cams, k+n air filter, grp n spec break discs and mintex pads, and a couple of sparco bucket seats.

im thinking of stripping the the interior to the bare minimum.

pics will be coming as i start.

the basis of a decent track car are:

Good suspension / chassis

and

Good brakes.

So go for a very good suspension set up, bushes etc. Ideally fit a roll cage, not only from a safety point of veiw, but it will stiff the chassis up no end.

Ideally a 4 pot setup with largest discs you can fit behond the wheels, with decent pads and fluid.

Depends really on how much you have to spend, and how extreme you wanna go. Certanly seems like you have started on a good note and are heading in the right direction!

dont valvers have very good standard suspension any way, i was gonna get poly buses anyway, but do you think the standard shocks and springs are good enough.

my first mod i was gonna spend money on was a cage, http://www.primaracing.com/ProductList.aspx?section=new

which one would be better, weld in or bolt in?

willwood four pots are on my wish list too.
