I am not a racer but the idea of having a car to use whilst having an engine to build though the summer sounds like the best compromise to me.

That is because it wasn't a MSV day.

Good work. If you have any problems with childcare then just bring the baby with you - it is what I do.

Just get out and do some track days in your Clio before dreaming about spending mega money on ITBs or a race engine. Are you coming to Cadwell Park on 8th April 2024?

I have not seen many 197s or 200s on ITBs - do it!

The subframe is starting to come together now. The 22mm Cup Racer ARB has been bolted on with OEM bushes. You can see some of the solid PMS bushes in place. The SuperPro adjustable anti-rotation links are also in together with the cleaned up wishbones with solid bushes. Had the weather...

The subframe has got to come off the car as we have got an EE bracket set to put on. How have you found the 22mm ARB?

The Cup Racer 22mm ARB arrived today. @EthanMenace had persuaded me to try out some 3D printed ARB bushes rather than buy some PowerFlex black series 21mm bushes - but the ARB has come complete with new OEM bushes so we will use them instead. I have no idea what size the OEM bushes are but...

I didn't bother pursuing the insurance route after all. The excess was £750. A bumper popped up on FaceBook in the right colour together with a core support and a set of headlights for £500. The other bits to replace are going to be about £250, or thereabouts. If I had been unable to find a...

If you are willing to travel in to Essex Engine Dynamics are based in Kelvedon.

Cup racers seem to have an under tray in the picture I posted above, albeit a flat and maybe smaller one.

Thanks for the offer. I think we might ditch the old steel radiator bracket and go with a more expensive but lighter one just because I like to spend money on this car. I am pretty sure the return postage will be more than a standard bracket!

Does the Wheeler Motorsport one still allow you to run an undertray on the car?

Well that explains why I could not find it! :sweatsmile: Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the Weeder Motorsport radiator support and the Clio Cup version? I cannot see that Weeder have got any stock of their radiator support at the moment as it is not shown in their shop. I contacted R Sport and they say that the part (marked as...

Yeah, only about 5 figures deep.

Maybe I will rethink the brake plans then…

When we get new pads yes - but for the time being we will just be cheapskates and run the DS Unos on old discs. I can't see us doing more than a few hundred road miles and 2 track days on the shagged discs and DS Uno's. The Uno's will probably ruin the old discs anyway.

The porta power kit arrived in the week. It is a Chineseum knock off of a proper Porta Power kit - this is a 10 ton kit. It is a pump and kit with various extensions and accessories for "bending" cars. Perfect for sorting out the tweaked chassis leg. @EthanMenace spent the weekend removing...

I have an Akropovic exhaust and when it was last tested by my local MOT garage, which usually find things to complain, about they were fine.
