    The High Mileage Track car

    I've warped 2 other sets too, I've added the duct3d cooling ducts and some piping which helped a lot. DS3000 weren't actually too bad on the road for me, the DS2500 were worse actually I'm currently running PBS pro race pads now seen as it's only a track car now. They wear down quicker than the...

    The High Mileage Track car

    At this stage I needed to update the interior so I got a pair of Sparco grid bucket seats, omp steering wheel and a pure motorsport seat bracket along with a supreme motorsport version. I only ordered one supreme by mistake and they were out of stock when I went to order another. It's gone well...

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    I'm running the yellow speed coilovers on my 197 with the track spring rate, 8kg front 7kg rear, and they seem pretty good from what I can tell. I know a lot of the Honda guys use them too and I haven't heard anything bad. The dampening adjustment makes it bearable when driving to the track, the...
