Not as scientific as the last time I had the car weighed but I decided to give the bathroom scales system a go. Came out pretty close to predicted weight based on what I have removed from the car and weighed individually. I weighed it with about 13kg of items I neglected to remove before I...

Carrying on with 3d scanning nonsense, I managed to clear up my scans enough to get something useful. The position of the car relative to a fence etc means its difficult to get a 360 degree scan, but i've managed to coax the £220 scanner along with some dots and some sublimation spray on the...

Having decided to keep it again, I've been slowly working away at a few idea's, but thought this was interesting. I have had a cfd model of the car for years which some of you will have seen my previous posts based on, i've been playing with 3d scanning (still figuring it out) and was curious...

I picked up a whole engine from a 197 that had block damage as wanted bits and peices of it and it was cheap. I’ve pulled the head and there was some contact on one of the cylinders but it doesn’t seem too bad. Anyone know if it is repairable?

Testing the water as I do sometimes, because I've not spent a lot of time recently on this car and I'm looking at other projects. if anyone else is looking for a good base this is is a good starting point. spec is 2010 Clio RS200 sport with cup pack. 63k miles. Liquid yellow. Track prepped...

nor me, was chatting with a mate one night and we couldn't figure out what the additional bracing was really doing so got rid and all fine. I did buy high tensile bolts and made sure everything was torqued up and checked them but all fine so far and I forgot I did use it on the road for a few...

I no longer run that brace or the aluminium cup racer X brace, Was on track for a fair amount last year and no issues. I use a cup racer subframe so it has the solid mounts etc, Not done any amount of road miles though as its not currently MOT'd but have checked the bolts and they were still...

standard cams? and what airbox/intake?

probably the best vid from the day, weather and track were changeable but really good day overall

Some photos nicked from facebook.

Short update to my build thread, its been a while since I've done anything with the Clio, after the last round of light weighting, I have a steering fault that means it needs to be recalibrated, I can either buy a clip tool, or wait for the RStuner update that will let me do this, and as I don't...

not something i've used but cheers for the headsup i've downloaded it and will have a play around.

have a bit more time to reply so I looked back at the last set of runs I did that led me to remove the diffuser. I've posted previously on this forum about how the diffuser does work, and you can show it, but the effect is small because the diffuser volume is small, and being so small, the 197...

Yeah I use openfoam, easiest thing to do is take a copy of the motorbike tutorial and alter things like the frontal area and centre, speed etc, then swap out the geometry for your own. I don’t have a machine setup to run it currently but should have a backup of either the files or the Ubuntu...

interested in your results with that style of drag wing. this was my preferred style of wing from the CFD I did a while back, does depend what your trying to achieve though. If my memory is correct, then it will certainly reduce drag, it will also decrease the effect of the diffuser if you use...
