    Floor Plate

    Just get some bolt sleeves and cut to the required length and nut rivet the floor pan. Bolt goes through the carbon footplate in through the sleeve and into the nut rivet to secure.

    Any wider wheels about

    Depends what you are after. Spacers obviously will give you the stance look you may be after but remember longer bolts are needed too. A wider wheel will allow the option to run a wider tyre to be installed but will gain extra weight in some cases in wheel & tyre. Cup racer 8Js weigh around the...

    Removing rear seats - any implications with MOT?

    If removing rear seats in theory you must remove all seat belts corresponding to that seat, otherwise it could fail having seats missing. You may get an advisory stating the rear seats are missing. Just bare that in mind if fussed.

    Clio 197 Track/ Race Car Build

    Thanks. From removing the back seats I doubt you will feel any real difference in balance unless you are pushing the car and looking out for it. On this occasion my Clio was already stripped when I bought it so can't comment on what it was like before. It does however like to oversteer...

    Clio 197 Track/ Race Car Build

    Not finished the build yet. Are they ever finished thou? Engine is standard currently with the aid of the R3 Carbon airbox. I am strong believer of saving weight where I can first before plowing into costs for engine upgrades that sees very little gains on a N/A engine. Weight is unconfirmed as...

    Hard wired dash cam

    Hard wire to an Auxiliary cable in the car. This will allow power to get to the camera unit 'only' when the car is unlocked and active, similar to most 12v cigarette lighter sockets found in cars. You can feed a mains off the stereo system. There's Aux power there and simple to get to.
