Thanks.

Nice. I have not driven a car with the PMS mechanical linkage yet, but I do love a long/high shifter.

Here are a few of the track photos from the Nordschleife.

Here is a video of Ethan's 8m 40s hot lap. The GoPro footage is over exposed in some parts of the track.

The Clio made it's third trip to the Nurburgring over the weekend. I had the alignment checked the day before we travelled to make sure that the toe at the front of the car was okay. The coilovers had not been removed from the car or unbolted when the hubs had been replaced but the toe was...

As it is glacier white it will be faster...

That engine was running fine when I had it.

The Clio has been given an oil service. We like to give the Clio 200 regular oil changes as it is usually driven hard, and the easiest miles it will do are usually a drive to or from a track. The Clio has used Fuchs Titan Race Pro 5w40 oil for a very long time. Along with the oil change, we...

It gets worse. There are even more cracks on the passenger side hub. These cracks are not due the hub being over torqued as the crack is in a hollow section between two solid sections.

The ZPO/OMP tow eye set up is now on the Clio. It has a velcro tab stopping the metal ring flapping about. New boot for the drivers side track rod end that was damaged at Brands Hatch. Ethan had planned to replace the passenger side hub just in case it had suffered any damage as a result...
