Welcome! I now know who owns that Clio and that I'm not the only Irish Clio on this forum

Haven't updated this in a while as I haven't changed too much to the Clio in recent months. Did two more trackdays since the last update. Replaced the worn out PBS pads with a set of ferodo ds3000 I had laying around and my god they are much better. More expensive I know but they don't wear down...

The only reason I did my oil pump is because it has 170k miles on it and it was purely going to be used on track. Was waiting for months for parts from Renault. Definitely an over cautious thing to do

I'll take that I to consideration when doing my own, cheers for that!

I'm planning on doing similar myself for a pressure and temp sensor, was the use of the braided line rather than adapter's just for space and cleanliness?

The time I did it I welded two spreader plates along the raised cross member that the seat rails sit on and just threaded in the harness eye bolts. You could also drill into the floor and use spreader plates on the underside of the car too if you don't have access to a welder. I'd get you a...

I'm in Ireland so I'm no good to you as I got them local but I know Kam racing or ktec do them https://www.kamracing.co.uk/brembo-brake-discs-renault-clio-mk3-rs197-rs200.html https://k-tecracing.com/products/brembo-megane-2rs-clio-3rs-high-carbon-front-brake-discs

For the warping brake discs, I've been through that before with 2 sets of mtec and a set of godspeeds. They all warped on track after a good thrashing, switched to standard Brembo discs and I haven't had an issue since. I'm definitely going to stay away from any other brands in the future

Yeah it's definitely the washers, I've put some soundproofing I had lying around covering them and the pipes up for the mean time and we'll see how it goes. If not I'll just silicon the living hell out of them Replacing the coil packs and plugs worked a treat, some of them looked tatty anyways...

Also took the opportunity to bleed the brakes and managed to notice something that wasn't supposed to be attached to the coilovers.... I'd left the bloody Bungy cord from hanging up the caliper while doing the discs. It survived the trackday without causing any issues thankfully

During the last track day I developed a miss fire. Pulled the coils and plugs and the coils looked a bit shit, especially the one nearest the vvt solenoid. All the plugs seemed healthy with no oil or odd wear which is a bonus I guess. Seems like water has been pooling around that area and...

Ordered a half cage from JP Cages a while ago and got around to fitting it over the past week. Went for the option with weld in plates so passed it up to a mate up the road to weld in the plates for me. As with getting stuff delivered from the UK there was the joys of customs but it was all...

Next on the list was some doorcards and to lower the steering wheel a bit and add a spacer for a better driving position. I used spacers on the steering column nuts which were an absolute pain in the a** to do but worth it. The door cards came from trackcar door cards and the wheel spacer from...

Nearly caught up with all the modifications to the current day, probably have missed a few minor bits and pieces but nothing major. Back in late May I managed to do a 2.05 around our local track, which I think is pretty quick I think.

At that above trackday the flexis in the manifold had broken so I went and bought the toyosports manifold and scorpion non res catback. My friend has a decat lying around so I also fitted that. It sound so much better and the crackle and pops on gear changes are an added bonus!
