My Yaris has auto blip built in to it, but that is intelligent enough to know if you are downshifting regardless of whether or not you touch the brake. After a track day I am sure I will work out if I this any good.

We have purchased an Auto-Blip. The auto blipper is wired in to the clutch pedal, brake pedal and throttle pedal. When the device gets a positive signal from both the brake pedal and clutch pedal it blips the throttle. So, if the Clio is on track and coming to a corner when the brake pedal is...

Forums are old school, but good.

Probably.

We installed a rally style intercom in the car today. After 4 years of doing track days we have finally come to the conclusion that we should get a car intercom. A few years ago Ethan had some track day driving tuition and the instructor brought along an intercom set. This system worked really...

@EthanMenace has spent the past week sorting out the gearbox. After looking at the internal damage inside the gearbox we decided to replace both the 3rd/4th gear hub and synchros and the 5th/6th gear hub and synchros as well as some other minor parts in the box. So not the usual gearbox synchro...

We got ours from FrogJam.

The new clutch that we fitted was a genuine Renault part but was stamped with LUK and Valeo in different places.

I couldn't tell you. Although I have coded out the air bags I have removed from my Clio (I still have the curtain airbags in the rear as my car still has an interior) I have not disconnected the airbag ECU from the loom at any time.

Get it remapped. Whoever does it should be able to tell you if there was a map in there already. If it is standard they can probably smooth out the power delivery.

The gearbox teardown is underway. The synchros have definitely been mashed. There are remnants of a synchro sitting on a bearing in the photo below. The 3rd/4th synchro hub has seen better days. Same for the 5th/6th synchro hub. These teeth were described by one engineer (@RSRowe) as...

I purchased some very expensive MSV photographs from our day at Snetterton this week. I am fairly sure if you printed out a copy of the photo the weight of it would still be more than the same weight for the price of gold.

I thought that I had seen this question before. https://clio197.net/threads/gw-200-cup-clubsport-racecar-v2.64717/post-750109

What is the replacement going to be - M4?
