We have booked another track day and are going to venture up to Mallory Park on 14th March 2025 for a Javelin track day.

Thanks.

What size and how much nimbus heat shield did you use? I have been thinking about replacing the knackered black fabric heat shield in my Clio.

Good power.

I really rate Direzzas. Best tyre I have used on track.

The gearbox went back in to the car yesterday. Despite the wet weather it was all done in about 6 hours. The gearbox drain sump temperature sensor will be protected by the Clio's under tray. The LSD sounded quiet when we took it for a test drive today. The gearbox seems to be working okay...

Get any colour and have them refurbished in a new colour?

Alex at AW Motorworks has finished the gearbox rebuild and Ethan collected it yesterday. The gearbox work that has been done: Stripped, cleaned, and rebuilt Had the casing vapour blasted New genuine 3rd and 4th gear synchros New genuine output shaft bearings New driveshaft seals Gripper has...

It was either ET42 or ET45. No spacers.

I did have a set of gold Ultraleggeras on my white 200. Wrong offset really as they were too far out but the suspension at that time was super stiff to stopped any major rubbing.

Lower swivel joint? It is the joint on the left or right side of the photo - not the one on the middle. If you ask a non-specialist Renault garage they will tell you that you have to buy the half part of the knuckle with the swivel joint inside it. If you ask anyone else you can buy the...

If you have bought the wishbone brand new from RDPD it will come with a new ball joint (part 1) on it already.

@EthanMenace can probably give you some tips. He just came home one Friday afternoon and took the box out on the drive whilst I was doing some work from home indoors. It was all done in about 3 hours or so.

Are you still planing to do the gearbox work yourself?

Same here. I don’t think I have ever seen the Cup wheels in any other colour than the original anthracite.

Thanks. It is good to hear that the stuff we have posted over the years is helpful/interesting to others.

Have a look on FaceBook in the various Clio groups - they come up for sale every now and then.

If you want to check the mileage then a MOT history check is a good start https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ But it is always difficult trying to make sure an older car has the right mileage unless you are prepared to pay for a vehicle check - but even those are not always correct. Are you...

I thought that with track use a gearbox would last around five years or so. Clearly we abuse our gearbox too much and it will require more regular attention. I am considering whether an auto blipper might help prolong the life of the gearbox as I am useless at heel and toe.

The gearbox has been opened. There was a smell of burnt oil as if the gearbox had got very hot. This explanation was sent about the state if the gearbox: "3rd gear synchro is no longer synchronising, this has caused the sliding hub (which picks up synchro before the gear) to mash the gear...
