    The High Mileage Track car

    Damn I gave the paddock a quick walk after it happened but never saw you, ah well I've been tempted to buy a clip or one of the specific diagnostic tools for Renaults anyways. I'll have to have a look at the top mounts, it's a 2010 car so I think it could be either, I'll check when I'm down in...

    The High Mileage Track car

    Did the first trackday in the new Clio over the weekend. Wasn't the smoothest of sailings but it was a good shakedown. Went out for a test lap in the morning after the usual checks, was about halfway through the lap and my driver's door swung wide open, not an ideal thing to happen! After...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Mines been the same for years too, I currently have a regulator out of a 1.9tdi golf in it. Been working fine for years. As far as I know, it's a "smart charging" system. Usually takes about 20 minutes for the fault to appear on my dash but anytime I checked it voltage was fine and no issues so...

    Even though I agree I feel there's a slight bias here

    The High Mileage Track car

    Did a few bits to the Clio over the weekend. We had a couple of friends down at the shed giving us a hand as the other Clio there was also getting a few bits done. I needed to install some eyebolts for the 6 point harnesses, why you'd not do this along with the rest of them in the first place...

    RS200 Track Car

    Anytime I've taken them off I've set them to 170, it's extremely tight for sure! They are also an absolute pain in the ass to get out sometimes

    If you have a helicoil kit that also solves the problem and is relatively easy do, done mine a few years ago and haven't had issues since!

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Yeah I guess it can be hard to pin down! The trackdays ye do usually have a good elevation changes so maybe that could be a factor too? Anyways it's something we'll all be adding to our checklists every other trackday then!

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    That's nuts! Have ye any idea what might be the contributing factor to it?

    So will I I've only drove it around the shed so I can't really make a comparison yet at all. I reckon the PMS is far more satisfying though just because it's rods and not cables

    RS200 Track Car

    Yeah I thought that was him alright! Ah nice yeah he was saying someone had bought/was looking alright. Good to see another one then down at mondello soon enough! I'll be keeping my eye out for a full race spec one but nice ones don't pop up too often, I'll happily use mine until then.

    Best of luck with it! There's tonnes of threads on here and info for basically everything you'll need! On a side note, is this in ireland? I think I recognize the recovery truck logo but it's a bit blurry

    The High Mileage Track car

    Did some work recently to the Clio after knockhill. Just an oil service, bolt check over and changed the front pads. I got my money's worth from the EBC RP-X pads I think New pads put in and gave the pins a quick clean down to make it easy for the next time. The only thing I noticed worn was...

    The High Mileage Track car

    Great track but they do so few trackdays and it's not cheap! We stayed in a premier inn in Falkirk, plenty of space for trailers if you need it.

    The High Mileage Track car

    Trackday abroad, eventually went and did a trackday somewhere other than mondello. Myself and another Clio and a bunch of other Irish people went over to knockhill for a trackday recently. It was mostly high end cars, gt3rs, mclarens, some radical variations and we'll equiped BMWs. 3 hour drive...

    The High Mileage Track car

    Went out to the shed today and tackled the rear calipers and pads. The drivers side was sticking a little bit, the passenger was fine but looked a bit tired so I got parts to replace them both and some cheap pads. Not the worst job to do but by Jesus do I hate handbrake cables now, first time...

    The High Mileage Track car

    What do ye use on them now? My friend ran ar1 but they were dead and delaminated after 2 trackdays, a fair bit quicker but not worth it to me. I get about 6 days out of the r888r, but they lose best grip after 3-4 days the last two are more just for fun.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I still have that issue to this day, after about 20 minutes it comes up and says battery fault, it happened ever since I changed the alternator. It's purely a track car so it doesn't bother me enough to fix it Hopefully that solves it for ye though!
