One item ticked off tonight that wasn't on the list and it's an important one. First start. Wasn't without issues though! First time connecting the battery and there were relays clicking, headlights were on and the dash just kept saying the auto lights were activated and then deactivated. Start...

Had a good couple of days on this over the weekend, avoiding the heat where possible (still got very burnt though) Trimmed and test fitted the dash bar, realised I could do away with a few extra brackets so the angle grinder came out and upset the neighbours for a bit. Realised it was the...

I've heard a few people saying any kind of cerakote/powdercoat on cast alloy parts can cause weaknesses. Whether that's true or not remains to be seen. Could be a contributing factor maybe?

Had a few PMs about fitting rear the tow eyes so it's probably easier to chuck it in here for all to see. This goes through the mounting plate for the rear crash bar, all you need it to replace the bolt that goes through the rear of the chassis leg with one longer, I think I used an M10x110mm...

Few little updates. GAZ Golds. Fitted. Ignore the crusty bits, they just look bad but they're solid. Anyone that's fitted them to the rear will know this pain on the left rear of the car. Right rear has enough space to fit your hand between the spring and the body! Rear recovery points...

Rear towing eyes are easy to fit, I did mine the other weekend, there's even a decent mounting point if you go for the wire loops like I've fitted to mine. I said to Ethan that bad things seem to happen with your Clio every time the Megane comes along:sweatsmile:

I'd say closer to the Sprint-X tbh https://www.larkspeed.com/corbeau-sprint-x-seat-carbon-shell-standard-1103105/

Hello! I haven't died. Last year we went to Donington in November, nothing to report in all honesty other than a wheel bearing shitting the bed and my day ending by lunchtime. I wasn't enjoying the day anyway so it was no real loss. Anyway, the Clio has sat and done nothing at all until today...

Or asking a friendly Clio owner that has a trailer to load up a poorly car for you... Not that it's ever happened, oh no...

Yeah I think the Vivaro is capable of towing 2000kg, it won't be fast but it'll do the job. If you're going to kit it out as a day camper kind of thing I would suggest getting heavier duty springs on the rear, these are fairly softly sprung and they do sit down when loaded up. Looks tidy...

We've had some progress and some setbacks, we have basically had 2 steps forward and about 9 back it seems! Old half cage is out and sold, going to a couple lads we met at Snetterton a few weeks ago. Taking the cage out I found a bit that I didn't like the look of in the OSR wheel well...

The missing bolt isn't an issue, my original engine didn't have anything there and the replacement has nothing there too. Headlights are shared with the facelift mk3 Clio so you can pick them up cheap from a breaker, I think there's aftermarket alternatives available on Autodoc or similar for...

Hello there

Always good to see an update on here Tom, you get more of an idea of what's going on with the amount of text you can add to the post, I find Insta just doesn't seem right to have a decent write up! If it falls correctly next year you need to get yourself up to Knockhill, the Opentrack double...

There's a lot more that I'll upload to Flickr tomorrow and put the link in here.

Showing as attachments as they're too big. But you get the jist of it.

Yeah they weren't looking too sharp after Snetterton but they still had a little bit of tread left so they were getting used. If you ever get the chance to go, do it, it's up there already as a favourite track, it's fast and technical with several bits that need some serious commitment. 10/10...

Knockhill. Let me open by saying this... What. A. Track! If you ever get the chance to go up there, do it. Honestly it's one of the funnest circuits I've had the pleasure of driving and I'm sad that it's 8 hours each way to get there! Prep was slow in the run up to heading up to Knockhill, as...
