    I was surprised how much the stiffened rear beam altered the dynamics. Excellent if you want rotation but need your wits about you!

    Technology is more advanced and car is fresher than the Clio so that’s compensating for lack of brakes and different rubber. Modern cars are pretty amazing

    Pad Life on Track Days

    Plain discs and DS UNO were my preference after trying a multitude of pads. That was in a 375hp Clio as well!

    Nice review Nick. I think the brake hoses I’ve fitted are fine. This is a much more common platform than your i20 so teething issues would have been ironed out long ago. As for performance they feel strong but so did oem pads tbh they just started to fade after 3 hot laps. Might be fluid...

    Service time for the Seat yesterday. Went to the well known VAG specialist in Essex AWMotorworks (!) Changed the engine oil to Millers and went for a 5w-40 over the standard 5-30 long life Vw stuff. Forums suggest it helps a bit as these engines run hot oil temps anyway. New foam filter for the...

    Power from Cams, Ported Intake mani and full exhaust

    Yes in the fact I don’t want a track car anymore I want something that I can drive on the road at weekends. Something that the wife will get in with me. It’s more comfortable and quiet. No if I was doing multiple track days a year. The Clio was epic and will never own another like it!

    Donington Park 5/11/23 Time had came to test the Clio replacement on track. Have gotten a feel for the car over the last six months and was quietly confident it would be fine. Weather was decent and dry. Had rained overnight so conditions were damp to start but a drying line soon started to...
