Right, so about the car I bought, it does have some nice options, but you don’t care about that! The extras you might be interested in are of the aftermarket variety... One of the things I’d been looking into before buying one was exhaust options to make a bit more noise. You see the m140 is...

Ooooh awesome!! Would love a go in one!

That would be something wouldn’t it! I’ll take it in a mk4 MX5 if we can choose!! :tearsofjoy: Yeah there is no disguising weight, but it’s also very much a part of new cars. The new Megane RS is a very similar weight at 1465kg for example, and the M4 1645kg! I’m soft and like the creature...

So, about the Deer Slayer... I’m sure most of you know what the junior-m models are about but for those that don’t a brief introduction. In a nutshell it’s the classic big engine in a little car, but being 2018, little cars aren’t that little anymore and they certainly aren’t that light...

Hardly the start to m140 ownership I hoped for, but a few days after picking up the car I hit a deer. Bad luck and a bitter pill to swallow but it could have been sooo much worse. I got away with very minor damage and was able to effect a repair the following day to get the car safely useable...

Cadwell this evening in the red one, brilliant fun in the wet/damp/drying! We’ve built a terrific car there! :grimacing:

So the Clio has now gone after a thoroughly enjoyable if slightly financially painful ownership! :tearsofjoy: I haven’t posted too much recently so a bit of a recap of what we’re lucky enough to own (in most cases) at the moment and what’s going on with them. In order of longest-owned... The...

So the Clio has gone, sold to a cracking chap, also called Matt who intends to use it on track too! :drunk: I know Matt had seen this thread so hopefully we’ll see what he does with it on here! I thoroughly enjoyed the Clio, a real drivers car and certainly something I would consider when the...

Looking gooooood!! How is it driving now? Has your son had a go? A couple of thoughts as a regular trackdayer... I’d be tempted to pop some updates front pads in there, last thing anyone wants is brake fade when you’re hurtling towards a corner! If harnesses aren’t yet on the cards, a CG...

For Sale advert, priced to sell at £5,000. :thumb: http://www.clio197.net/threads/59-clio-rs-200-road-track-£5000.60382/

A couple of months down the line and the 200 is still here! We sold the Z4 very quickly so needed something to drive until timing was right and funds in place for something new(ish). As you would expect it’s been a hoot threading the Clio down the local A and B roads each day in the meantime...

I never fitted the diff mate, it’s sat in a box in my office!! :sob:

Pleased I spotted this project, great idea to share a track adventure with your son! :blush: Any further updates?

I haven’t been able to get on here for a while now, kept saying I didn’t have permission when I tried to do anything... anyhow I’m abroad at the moment and did a full reset on my phone to try and cure a carrier issue and lo and behold my access here has been restored!! :tearsofjoy: For anyone...

Won an auction for a resonated Scorpion system on eBay for sensible money, can’t wait to realise all the extra powerrr!!... Tasty little weight loss though, I’ll take that! Hopefully a less obtrusive noise with normal use as well! :grinning:

I love these kind of exercises, be it doing it myself or following others, makes for interesting developments. Honestly, unless you have a big budget and a strong desire to go and compete with frontrunners immediately, I would probably pop some AD08Rs on the current wheels, put buckets and...

Some ideas, some or most of which will have been suggested: Plated LSD Wide (255+ on the front) most track biased tyres you’re allowed, if AD08Rs are allowed probably these. Are you allowed to shave them? Use tyre softener? You’ll need really wide wheels too! Might require some mods to arches...

I haven’t mate, let me know if and when yours becomes available. Dare I ask about the whole box or is it a case of if you have to ask you can’t afford it? :tearsofjoy:

Brill, thanks mate. :good: These new-fangled cars are clever aren’t they!! :tearsofjoy:
