It’s a long read that starts with me saying the car will be OEM plus and then it morphing in time something different. We still have lots of plans for the Clio.

You could try some coil over socks after giving the shocks a liberal application of ACF50?

Thanks for the tip. I ordered studs from PMS and did not bother with nuts to save some cash. But, I have just looked at TRS UK and the studs would have been about half the price if I had ordered from them.

I think that I have solved the oil pressure issue now. I spoke to CANchecked who make the digital display that we use. I double checked the settings with them for the oil pressure sensor and they said I had configured it incorrectly. I now have the right settings and when the gearbox is back in...

Thanks Liam.

I had a look at some of the Snetterton videos today and noticed that the oil pressure in the Clio was just under 3 bar when it was cold - and the oil was more viscous. The pressure dropped under load when it was warm and less viscous. 30 Minutes in to one session the oil pressure was reading was...

@EthanMenace removed the gearbox this afternoon. It really helps owning a Fench car to keep costs down by being able to do a lot of the labour intensive jobs at home. Before the box was taken out Ethan tested how knackered the Gripper was. He jacked up one side of the car so the other...

Other sizes always seem cheaper.

Thanks Liam. We will investigate - it might be down to the way it was set up in the CANchecked display giving a lower reading than it really is.

Standard size Clio tyres are a "niche" size.

For anyone who is interested I have put our footage from Snetterton online. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs6pLyfPjsTm6vM9U5M4kW4_YceouRCrZ&si=XAAllUlwKU1PcTIM My best session was this one where I spent time chasing a GT86 and an EP3 and found it reasonably easy to catch them on the...

I think that this will be the first time ever that I do not buy some track day photographs. MSV managed to capture about 5 photos of the Clio - three of those photos are an identical side shot. I refuse to pay £9.50 per photo of the two good shots that were taken. So, in the spirit of me being...

I was talking about Gaz Golds and not ASTs.

We went to Snetterton on Saturday for our first track day of 2025. It was a cheap £119 day run by MSV, in fact it was so cheap we took the Clio and @EthanMenace's Megane 250. Just for a bit of context his Megane is a 2010 model with a cup chassis and OEM LSD. It is mapped to about 300 bhp. It is...

Yes.

Buy one and test it out.

The Clio has not seen much use since our last track day in September. I have spent the past three months looking at other peoples track day photos wanting to do more track days myself. We have now booked some early track days for next year: Snetterton - Saturday 18th January 2025. This is an...

You have done a good job stripping that shell.

I have not done an RMA day because I have a Clio. I have done days with Open Track, Javelin, Track Obsession and MSV. Like @Beany said they are all very similar but MSV photos always seem to be poor.

Welcome. Liquid yellow is an excellent colour. I had a Megane 280 in liquid yellow. But, glacier white is also a very good colour.
