yes a few weeks now and it's amazing makes a lot of difference on track

While the subframe was off I fitted solid rear mounts and done some reinforcement. I have welded a solid mild steel tube on both sides just behind the front wishbone bush to strenghten the assembly and made an M10 thread so I can bolt the subframe brace as below. Gearbox mount...

After the last trip I took some time to do some work as after the track day it became really apparent I needed an oil cooler,it was an extreme case as it was during the heatwave with 35 degrees in Italy but I saw oil temps reaching 150 degrees and thats insane so immediately backed off the...

Might be worth checking the heat shield for the starter motor is not shorting out and touching at higher rpm with vibrations.

I won lol. (most racing road car) Got a nice sticker too. Stayed at an "Agriturismo" hotel for a few days. Just spent the rest of the time driving around and finding some nice twisty roads,unfortunately i got carried away and didnt take many pictures XD Anyhow after I was back as I...

Few weeks back I drove to Italy again this time on my own,by chance I noticed on the italian clio forum there was a Clio meet that takes place every year and this time it was at the track in Parma called Autodromo Varano de Melegari,this was actually a few days before the holiday I had planned...

Well these always seem to struggle between 2k and 3k rpm especially with mods,make sure the map sensor is tight on the manifold,they make a bracket for these,if you have no fault codes not much you can do without firing the parts cannon,if you are stuck might be worth a trip to engine dynamics...

Is it stock or modified?

Hi, does anyone know what's the difference between the cup racer specs solid mount bushes and the original? Was going to buy wheeler Motorsport ones but no reply so I wanted to have them made instead, thanks

I noticed mine failed in a similar way but i have the Vibra technics one,the smaller bush as well,only done about 5k miles and not a single track day,i will contact them and see what they say.

Laguna wheels.

I would check the wiring to the starter before putting the new fuse in as it might instantly pop again,its a big fuse to blow so might be something obvious to spot,might have had a mice visit when the car wasn't used.

Bingo! That big strip should be 350A and it's for starter, alternator,fuse for main power supply,fuse 2-8 engine compartment.

The big purple is a relay,also check that red cover that goes on the battery there is fuses on there too. I think the whiny noise you hear when ignition on is just the throttle body adjusting which is normal.

Does the engine light come on when you turn the ignition on? Sounds like you have blown a fuse, have you checked all of the ones in the engine bay especially the bigger ones? Take the fuses out and inspect visually you should be able to see if they're blown.

Went to the weighbridge today and came at 1120kg, about 8 liters of fuel. Bit disappointed lol, thought it would be more like around 1080 but I guess even the half cage weighs 15-20kg,more work to do lol,still 160kg lighter from the stock 1280.

Correct torque is 160nm.

Mine came with one,if yours didn't I would try and reuse the old one then

Few more jobs to save more weight. Got a smaller race battery,Varley Lithium RT900,only weighs 2,5 kg but has 900 CCA. So saves 11,6 kg. Also fitted Performance Friction 330mm discs,-2.2 kg. Fiberglass passenger door. -24,3 kg but need to add the weight of the wing...

No way that's wear and tear I don't think,there must have been something that weakened both hubs for it to crack, that's pretty worrying,glad you spotted it early.
