Little bit too far yes i'm afraid. What ad are you referring to as there is no link visible?

Probably in the wrong section but has anyone got a safety devices roll cage with a rear harness bar that I could come and have a look at? Ideally near Northampton or Milton Keynes area. I've got a boot net but want to see how it would fit in the back as I can't find a good place to mount a bar...

Always been a fan of Evo. I was also surprised when Henry Catchpole went. If you read the current issue then Nick Trott says in his editorial that it is his 92nd and his last as he is going to be editor of Motorsport magazine. Be interesting to see who out of those left will replace him. Sent...

Sabelt GT-130 for me at the moment. Not expensive, FIA approved and nice and comfy buy very supportive.

A second Sabelt seat and a rear roll cage are my plans. Once I got those done, maybe a different steering wheel and then just trackdays and maintenance Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply, to be honest I ruled out an M3 over the weekend as I did an insurance quote and it was over £1200. As for an Elise, the only thing that puts me off is how much more expensive they are to buy than the VX. On the VX forum you can pick up a 2.2 that looks half decent for...

Thanks for more thoughts on this guy's. The test drive I had of a GT86 was with a fairly friendly salesman so I got to explore the higher rev range. It was obviously a quick car (speed was going round more quickly than I thought) but it just didn't feel fast to be in. That's what I enjoy about...

I must admit I do like an MX5 but it would have to be a MK1. Then I would be worrying about the age thing with it. Don't like MR2's at all so they are off the cards. I did test drive a GT86 back in the summer but found it a really dull drive. The seating position was perfect and the steering...

Thanks for the replies. Nice to hear from someone who owned a similar car. The parts supply isn't so much of an issue to me, (I work at a Vauxhall dealer so am well aware of how little is still available). From what I found out before the water/spark plug issue was only on turbo's wasn't it...

After driving one through work I have fallen in love with the things. I adore my Clio but I can't help feeling that something mid engined and rear wheel drive is the way forward. Also, there values only seem to be going one way and I worry if I don't get in soon I will never be able to afford...

I bought the on site fuel, probably more expensive but it was convenient and meant I could get back out on track quicker.

I keep finding myself wanting something rwd. The main contenders in my head are S2000's, VX220's or go for something of a budget track car with an old MX5. Thing is, the Clio has been a fairly trouble free vehicle so it seems silly to get something much older and probably more problematic. Sent...

Quick update after Bedford, car performed brilliantly again. Only time it played up was after spinning for a second time and it didn't want to start. 187 miles on track so definitely got my money's worth out of the day. That's it for this year trackday wise. Just got to try and not spend...

Done 4 trackdays so far, 3 have been Bedford GT and 1 was Rockingham International Sports Car. I love it at Bedford as there is so much run off and I think the Clio sort of suits it (other than the long back straight). Next year though I am hoping to to Snetterton, Brands Hatch and possibly...

I didn't think Rockingham would be that quick but I was very wrong! It's a lot bigger than I thought when I booked it and means you have to carry a lot of speed everywhere. To put it in perspective I was backing off to 90mph for the 'first' banked corner as I didn't feel comfortable going any...

Thanks for the comments guys. I like the fact you rarely see a red 200 out and about so makes it nice to own one. The white wheels are a pain yes. But as they're track only it's not too bad. It's only pick up on the tyres, i've managed to clean the rear ones up a bit but am going to run the...

It's now been over a month since i got back from my small tour of Scotland. Before going i was really fed up of the car. It just wasn't feeling like an exiting car to drive anymore. Onto Scotland though, 1 week, 1600 miles and 4 tanks of fuel and i'm back in love with the Clio. Had some truly...

Saw this car at Brands Hatch for the Btcc and got to say it looks awesome in the flesh! Where did you get your cup racer seat mount from? And does it bolt directly to the mounting points on the floor?

Mine is my daily as I can't afford to run two cars. As I only have a short commute in the mornings in mostly stop start traffic it gets boring driving it. 3 trackdays so far and another one in just over a month make up for it though. Also just taken it on a 1600 mile roadtrip around Scotland and...

So it's now been just over a month since the Rockingham trackday. If I'm honest the car really wasn't ideal for the track/other cars there. I spent 90% of the 120 miles I did off the racing line keeping out of the way of everything other than a Seat Leon. Car performed faultlessly though other...
