Really good video mate. Nice to see the car being set up and driven properly. so much fun when they're like that!

Looking good. How was the Renault sport day? First one I've not been to for a few years with me no longer owning one.

Nice strong numbers there mate and holds power well. Standard engine and 225 turbo? Cant remember what you build this to in the end.

Looks great mate, digging the colour ways on this car. Looks the dogs dangles.

So much better mate! Keep the updates coming!

Bit of maintenance before the next track day continues. Put plates on the car and drove it over to EFI Tuning just to run it on the Dyno and log the AFR's to see how the car was running with the new manifold, exhaust and engine work and also to see what power it makes. Ran on the Dyno 238bhp...

I always ran standard pads without any issues but ideally should have been running something with a little more bite like. PBS rear pad wouldn’t be a bad shout.

Ds1.11 are a much better and consistent track pad that’s not as abrasive on discs as the ds3000, many people recommend the 1.11’s over them. I ran mine for about 8-10 tracks days with 335mm rotors and still had life left in them. Worth the money!

Knowing what I know now if you picked it up for a cheap price being a broken/none running I’d Pick up a cheap standard engine. Throw that in, strip it and spend the money on the mods and use it on track!

Looks good mate. Shame about the problems at the start regarding the syncros and ball joints. They’re the main issues with these cars plus the manifold which all seem to be done. Once those big jobs are sorted you’re set for a while then!

Update - So since the track day I've not really touched the car. I worked so hard on it in the 8 weeks leading up to the track day mostly 12 hour weekends and then another 6 hours on it after work most evenings it was really rewarding to drive it on track but needed a little break away from it...

I’ll keep that in mind. Going to remove it at some point and do the detent springs/bushes as 5th’s a little tight every now and then but it’s not a Piority job as it’s a fair bit of work to remove it just to do that, the clutch and flywheel has already been done. Will probably need input shaft...

I’d have been up for that but now the clio has gone and the BMW box is silky smooth even after 140k, best of luck with it, hope it works out!

From driving on track With Rob a lot in the dc5 my clio was the same speed on the straights till around 100mph when the higher revs of the Honda just let it pull away slightly. Got some videos from snetton somewhere lapping together for a session. Out of interest, is this the grey clio you...

Great work as always Mark!

Looks a nice setup, Just short of a set of harnesses to go with the seats and wheel.

Looks great Matt, Just caught up with the build thread. Attention to detail with this one is mega!

Will get it onto a dyno with the standard map on at the moment and then remap it with the standard rev limiter for the moment until I put a superdamper pulley on there. Been very quiet over the last few weeks after editing the videos from the track car. The car has been parked up since and...

Looking good. The red and the white really go well together. Are you not tempted to paint the whole inside properly?

Cheers Yiannis. Still getting the grips with it and haven’t really started messing with the set up of it too much at the moment but there is so much grip and feel in the car it’s awesome to drive. Really lively and full of feedback but really planted at the same time. Yeah. The sound of the...
