See I don’t mind the white for the rear. I did use to own a pair eons ago but they’re made of foam and tore easily… I’ve seen places like kam and maybe ktec do them but with the horrendous lettering…

He will do two whites as well if you prefer. I’m so used to seeing southern irish cars driving around and I think they look weird with white rear plates
There are regulations about having it and about its size. Mine is a bit big lol
But the final regs for a specific event will often remind you to have it and then say something like “Don’t come crying to us if you don’t have it and you don’t get timed”
I think its almost like a historical thing that they have just kept (I could be wrong). A friend of mine forgot to put it on one day and seemed to have no issues with the current timing equipment.
My first outing in the Clio this year was the craigantlet hillclimb. Weather was looking good all the way up until the day, and there was light rain all day
Was my first proper hillclimb in the car. Went quite well and the Extreme VR2 tyres in W3a were really good. The car felt really good now that its a bit lighter.
I have the cup racer ARB sitting in the shed ready to go on, I just need to order springs that are more similar to the cup racers and then it is basically a full cup racer except no sequential and probably still a bit heavier.
My dad is out next at a sprint at the start of June and I'm back in the M3, then the week after I'll be doing Cultra hillclimb in the Clio. Its more of a day out than a proper hill, I was just in 2nd gear the whole hill I think. Was a good day though, feels like Northern Irelands tiny version of goodwood.
Got the class win at Cultra hill climb yesterday! Really happy with the win, beating faster cars including a mapped Megane 250 and E46 M3. The tight twisty hill suited the car quite well. The extreme VR-2 tyres seem to be really good, I definitely think they are the best bang for buck.
Had a look at the pipercams that are now available for the Clio, seem to be a decent price and I saw Engine Dynamics sell them now too. Anyone use them or know anyone that has used them? Think I fancy a little bit more power lol.
Really want to get the cup racer spring setup and ARB on the car now. I had to keep increasing rear tyre pressure throughout the day for the tight turns, but it did the trick.
Yes I did in the race engine before it dropped a valve, they are basically a direct copy of catcams 403 without the timing issues sometimes faced with catcams. Send Lee an email at piper and I am sure he can sort you out a good price
It has to do with the camera angle and the position in the car. A wide(r) angle will make it look faster. The more environment you'll see passing by left and right the faster it'll look because of the motion blur. Following two examples. One is from one of our tours at our local meeting and the other from two guys from France who drive rallies with their Clio 2 Ragnotti.
Got an exciting delivery today. They won’t be going in for a little bit but got them now as I was worried the promotion engine dynamics was doing on them would end.
This weekend was a two day event at the longest (and craziest lol) hillclimb in the UK. Was a bit nervous about entering this one as it is very fast and a lot to learn. I set myself a goal of 90s and was thrilled with 87.73s and third on both days. It felt crazy going into blind corners and not lifting.
Some of the lads put L plates on for my first time at the hill
The cheaper CLiP alternative arrived today. Will be interesting to see how I get on with this. Was always annoying that cloned CLiP was expensive and had connection issues, was so much easier to get the BMW tools when I got the M3 as they are just a free install and cheap cable.
When you de cat the car and the mapper, "maps out" the emissions light, does the second lambda do anything anymore (is it now just disabled?)? Can it be removed? Or does it still do something?
