    Oh and I forgot. There was some experimenting for the crazy under bonnet temps. Ran an undertray cover fitted and this lot. I know it looks rough, but it worked and will be refined.

    Renaultsport R27 0465

    Quick update. I'm going for something a little out there. I've decided to go with a side exit exhaust. As a kid I adored the Escort Cosworth and its rally counterparts. I had the tamiya model and everything. Tarmac spec just looked godly to me. Those huge white O.Z wheels, the stance and the...

    Yeah. The problem is you come into that section committed and there's not a lot you can do if you suddenly have to react there, especially in a fwd car. I knew as soon as I clocked them from a distance that there was an accident waiting to happen. Nerves and indecision are pretty dangerous on...

    Finally got round to getting some vids on track. Ordered a Go-Pro last night next day delivery as I went full GP Harrys pack and got all excited. Despite paying the extra for same-day delivery it's still not with me today. Oh well, got the lap data at least. Cronky old action cam and complete...

    New wheels and brake clearance.

    Hi, I've decided I'd like a new set of wheels and I fancy something I've not seen before. I've settled on a set of wheels, but the closest size I can find in this wheel is 7.5J x 17 ET 40 - 5x108 Centre Bore 76. I've no doubt that these will fit with spigot rings. But, at the same time, I'm...

    One of my team mates is streaming our attempt at the 24 hour. We have two cars entered, both 911 rsr. Thought i'd share the link in case anyone fancied a nosey.

    My new Clio RS "Meglio"

    If you mention the fact that I sent you, there may be a cheeky little discount with him. I organised a group buy and we 'shifted' a fair few units. Worth asking at least, he's a nice bloke.

    My new Clio RS "Meglio"

    I'd imagine with the Clio box you'll be quite busy on track. Power delivery is fairly diesel esque and so the longer ratios seem to suit the setup well for me (even in the twisties) The zero point one shifter is great, I think it's one of my favourite additions to mine. I'd still fit a gearbox...

    I'm not one for detailing and I rarely wash my car. I am a bit weird like that, I love wheel's baked in brake dust for some reason. Post Le Mans cars look so much better than the shiny pre-race examples. Anyhow, stuck it through the car wash today so I thought I'd share a few pics. Here's...

    It's a completely custom rear damper. Madeno will make pretty much anything. They have built this in the past for the cup racers that take part in VLN. The fronts are just the b14 on the outside and completely different gizzards on the inside. Pretty much this. The fronts were priced a lot...

    The suspension is done. Drove it back today. Its a shame I can't share with you how it feels. Words just don't do it justice. The rear unit's you've seen above. For the front, we kept the same springs and have gone with higher low and high-speed compression and rebound damping on the front...

    New rear dampers are built. Front dampers will be re-built/re-valved and new springs to suit. Also got a set of the KTR Engine mounts on the way and booked in to be fitted soon.

    Renaultsport R27 0465

    This weekend's project has been to do a neater job of the gear shift surround to accommodate the ZPO shifter. Third times a charm they say... As to the rest of the car. It's been driving really well. I've got a water leak somewhere (I think just a lose hose). I've got a slight oil leak on...

    Meglio 200, the £700 car thats now 5k deep and still incomplete

    Found some old pics... You will lose your two cup holders. I need to redo my middle console. On my original piece we chopped it out completely, left a big hole on the centre section, but I didn't like seeing the body. Second one I wanted to cut around the shifter. Realised mid way that...

    Meglio 200, the £700 car thats now 5k deep and still incomplete

    Yeah, I have the zero point one shifter for my Clio 225. You do indeed need the megane version (fits exactly the same) and uses the standard megane cables. Also a vote here for some coilovers. The bilstein kit has some advantages with the upside down setup, especially useful since your...

    What wheels do you have?

    What are these? They look like the old S1600 clio wheel. Are they speedline?
