    Exhaust Catalytic Converter Requirements

    The OEM manifold has a pre-cat in it which was enough to get my car through MOTs on emissions without the main cat.

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    Where are the photos of the corrosion? I am intrigued to see how picky your MOT tester was.

    Okay - once we have performed the careful dissection I will let you know what condition it is in.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    @EthanMenace took a 9 hour round trip from Essex to Wrexham today to collect a Clio 200 front end in glacier white. This was a lucky FaceBook find where someone was breaking their Clio 200 was was selling a front bumper, core support and set of head lights as a package. We now have another...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I have been through most of the car data from Saturday. As usual @EthanMenace managed to get the best lap time, a respectable 2m 20s. My best effort was 2m 25s

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Despite complaining about the price of MSV photos I have bought some.

    They didn't even get that, and I was stationary for that.

    Gearbox rebuild cost

    I paid just over £2,000 to have a gearbox rebulilt, new synchros, new clutch, new slave - but I also had a Gripper put in. If you are going to have the gearbox out you really should put a LSD in. A LSD is the best upgrade you can do for these cars as you will then have far more traction and...

    Big Bens non Clio

    The photos from MSV are very average from Saturday.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Here are the damage photos. The impact was on the driver side. The front edge of the chassis leg will need a bit of fettling to make it straight but the structural part of the leg is all good. The wings are sitting on the car straight and the bonnet is in the correct position. We are going to...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    In an ironic twist I got home today to find that the TRS crutch straps, eye bolts and spreader plates had been delivered. The idea of getting these extra straps was to make sure there was no submarining in any crashes.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I was really looking forward to Snetterton on 17th February 2024 as it was the first track day of 2024. It was a good day with a bittersweet ending. We had booked on to a cheap MSV Saturday track day and we were not sure what to expect with the weather in February. The weather forecast had...

    I am pretty confident that it’s not another reshell job - but thanks for the offer.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    We went to Snetterton on 17th February 2024. I will do a proper write up soon but I will just leave this photo here. I tested the limits of my driving, and found out that I had in fact run out of talent. The car came off at Brundle and the front of the car hit the front passenger side corner...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    The Clio has had Corvette brake ducts on since it was rebuilt but we have not put anything in place in the fog light holes to properly direct the air from the fog light holes in to the brake ducts which sit about 15 to 20cm back from the bumper. The Corvette brake ducts have a very wide opening...

    My 197 - Project / Track Car

    If I ever replace mine I will probably go for a Weeder Motorsport version or see if I can locate a Cuper racer version from RSport.
