Funny! I've been following this build thread for a year or so now. Actually reading it and not posting much about it. But this is actually my friends old car and I've only just seen the reg plate, It was a good solid car this when he sold it, was a very clean example assuming you're the second...

Awesome Sean. Good to see you back with another Clio. This one no doubt will be awesome. Lets see what engine plans happen with this one, Properly sized turbo and keep some revs would be perfect.

Soo back to an update... This time I'll keep it a bit smaller and document the progress. At the end of the last big post I said about the stiction in the rear end I noticed properly when lifting it up on the ramp, don't always get the full effect jacking up one side of the car due to the...

Looking good! Another BMW on the clio forum! Who’s next?

Sounds good, be good to have a chat, Look forward to seeing the the E36 too. Got plenty to look at and develop before then though. Will give me something to write about and post about on the thread between now and then. Photos from Anglesey

Anglesey is such a good circuit. I did it a lot in the Clio... Including one of the Renault Sport days there. Here's some early photos of the 200 before the cage was fitted. Some of my favourite Clio photos Yeah it's the RTD Shifter from PSDesigns. They are all very similar in design to the...

Anglesey 2nd June 2021 Last time we were here at Anglesey Circuit was the beginning of the summer 2020 but I was only here helping friends run their cars as I had build the new engine and had it booked for running in on the dyno. So I haven't been to Anglesey in the E46 since 2019 when we did...

Dyno Graph... The hunt for the lack of power with the new engine continues. Scanned in some dyno graphs of the old engine vs the new engine to see what difference there is between the engines. Clear to see where the Schrick cams are making more power with the same intake and exhaust set up...

19th August for Snetterton. Cadwell the week before. Looking forward to Snetterton, had such a good time there last summer.

Yeah something to consider in the future but i’m not worried about those numbers and it’s consistent and what i’d expect it to make, it’s on 3% difference in power. I do have one final thing to log and check next time it’s out and it’s the timing map used when the vanos is in fail safe mode. But...

April update - Will be interested to hear any comments on this one... Been holding back on this update for a while as it hasn't really yielded any of the results I'd hoped for. But decided to document it as it has been an interesting process even through no progress has been made at all despite...

Been a couple of months since the last update in January, I've been holding back on post anything but I thought I would do an update on some of the bits I've been working on, nothing too major but hopefully interesting stuff. Starting off was some simple little modifications, there was nothing...

Only just seen this as I don't get on here much anymore. However Shorter final drive is one of the best things I ever did to the Clio with the gripper diff. Best way to see the difference is it in use. 3rd gear is much more useable out of corner and it keeps the engine reving much higher, I...

Productive Sunday on the E46 today resulting in making a good impact on the to do list, I like these type of days were things start to get back together rather than constantly taking things apart. To continue to work through the rearranging of the dash the first thing was to relocate the fuse...

I was running the Federal RSR. I've ran them since day one of doing track days in the Clio and think they are a fantastic tyre in terms of grip vs cost. They last a really long time too. I thought it was a good time to try a more expensive tyre with more outright grip considering the lengths...

Post lock down #2 Oulton Park ECU Adjustments. Idle control Spent a little bit of the lock down learning more about the MS43 standard ECU despite the long term plan is to replace it with standalone. The main reason behind it was since fitting the new engine with bigger cams the way the idle...

For the logger and the screen it was purely the simplicity of the Arduino and they’re much more robust in design and function, especially in an environment which is full of vibration and electrical noise, also has the benefit that it can be powered on and off easily without having to worry about...

Cadwell Park Aug 2020 Another week another update, this time it's another track day in another corner of the country. Interesting how many people read through this thread on a weekly basis then message me privately on social media or private message. Always interested to hear comments and...

Clio is looking great as always mate. I thought i’d seen you doing some racing in the Civic on Instagram this weekend, then I thought i’d imagined it until popping on here for a mooch. Be interested in reading some racing updates too!

Here is a video from the BMW E36 Following me
