    Mike's Clio 200 track day car

    Track day #2 complete I don't think I would want the full set of Powerflex engine/gearbox mounts in a road car, lots of vibrations and making the few remaining bits of trim rattle about. Can't say I have noticed much difference from them (in the way the car drives) but I fitted them as a...

    Mike's Clio 200 track day car

    No road miles, no MOT or tax etc so it's track use only I have started it up and it seemed a bit vibratey, but that may be subjective as I have read others posts about new engine mounts causing vibration and then settling down, so my opinion may be affected by that. It's also still up on stands...

    Mike's Clio 200 track day car

    All the engine and gearbox mounts now done. Just need to refit the undertray, front wheels and a check of the rear brakes and good to go. I have booked the Combe track day on August 8th, anyone from here going?

    Mike's Clio 200 track day car

    There isn't an extinguisher, stickers were added by a previous owner. Unwise IMHO as could cause a marshal not to bring his if you pulled up nearby on fire. I have got a plumbed in one from an abandoned project that's no good for motorsport any more (not been serviced and unsupported by the...

    Mike's Clio 200 track day car

    I fixed it to the chassis rail using M6 rivnuts and stainess dome head bolts. I bought some 10mm aluminium rod with a 6mm hole bored through it from ebay to act as spacers for the rear edge supports. Cut it to length, again using M6 rivnuts and stainless dome head bolts and put penny washers...

    Mike's Clio 200 track day car

    I have already introduced my car to the Forum but thought I would do a progress thread as well. Bought my Clio late last year solely for trackday use. There won't be massively dramatic mods as the car was already prepped and most of what I will do to it will be tidying things up a bit rather...

    New 200 owner

    Hi All Been lurking for a bit, finally used my Clio so time to post. I bought the car at the end of last year for track day use, it's taken a bit of work to get it ready to use (I think it had been stood up for a while) inc Cam belt etc and a good run through brakes, oil change etc. Finally...
