@EthanMenace Has not fiddled with the Gripper yet. But I am sure with a few technical tips he could do it.

Yes. We had a “medium” Gripper and wore it out after about 2 and a half years and 20ish track days. The new plates were only about £150 to replace (as a part) - it was done at the same time as a gearbox rebuild to replace some synchros which we then had to rebuild again after a slave failure...

Get a diff - it will make a big difference. It should stop your wheels from spinning up when you are accelerating when exiting a corner, and it will give you more grip when you are going "full beans" round fast sweeping corners.

If I had a UK version of your Clio, which was labelled as a "Raider" in the UK, I would not have done many of the modifications that have been done to my car. You get to a point with a track car when you become quite destructive to make it perform better on a track. Once you get to that point...

Our front wheels are already eating our arch liners and are gently rubbing away part of the front bumper - this started happening when when switched to softer front springs. The extra caster may cause some more rubbing but as the car is more of a track car than anything else I am not too worried...

We drove the car over to AW Motorworks today to get the Clio aligned so it would drive straight at Snetterton on 28th September after the front suspension had been taken off of the car and the PMS top mounts installed. I did drive the car after it had been stripped and the noise levels were...

I moved from a KTec induction kit to a V6 box and thought that the V6 box made a good noise but not a loud, or, really noticeable induction noise.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The DS2500s were okay, they were even used for a few track days. I don’t really have anything to compare them to as we just put better pads in the Clio for track use. Something sounds wrong with your brake setup as you should have a firm pedal - but you already know that.

If you have had not changed your brake fluid for a year you could flush out the old brake fluid and replace it with something like Motul RBF660. Brake fluid will absorb moisture over time. I am a firm believer in buying quality products so I would always go for the more expensive option. A...

Can you send me a link or a size for the rubber cover please?

The PMS top mounts are now on the car. Ethan performed what looked like open heart surgery on the car to remove part of the lip on the strut towers so that the PMS top mounts had a full range of movement. The bare metal was sprayed with some primer to cover it up. The top mount bolts are...

I have now sorted out the airbag light. All of the airbags have been removed from the car including the curtain airbags and passenger side dashboard airbag. Those changes caused the airbag light to come back on on the dashboard. We had also removed the airbag switch which sits on the...

Alex at AW Motorworks helped us work out how to fit PMS top mounts to Gaz Gold front suspension. PMS sells the top mounts with spacers sized 20mm or 22mm and on their web site they give options for different suspension manufacturers, but not Gaz. We have now discovered that Gaz use different...

I have still got the drivers lateral sensor and passenger lateral sensor coded in to my car. If I configure CLIP to say that the car is "without" those sensors I get an open circuit error.

Yes, I think it was. This is the switch. This is the other side of the switch,

Thanks both.

Here is a question for people who have stripped their cars. I have dusted off my Windows 7 laptop and connected CLIP to see if I could get rid of the airbag light on the dashboard. I managed to guess my way through CLIP again and dealt with nearly all of the errors causing the dashboard airbag...

The car has now been stripped of anything that was easy to pull off or remove. Some of the internal metal brackets have been removed but not all of them. There is a lot of excess wiring in the car. The one thing that we have kept in the car is the boot carpet so that when we put track day...
