    Pad Life on Track Days

    Plain discs and DS UNO were my preference after trying a multitude of pads. That was in a 375hp Clio as well!

    Nice review Nick. I think the brake hoses I’ve fitted are fine. This is a much more common platform than your i20 so teething issues would have been ironed out long ago. As for performance they feel strong but so did oem pads tbh they just started to fade after 3 hot laps. Might be fluid...

    Service time for the Seat yesterday. Went to the well known VAG specialist in Essex AWMotorworks (!) Changed the engine oil to Millers and went for a 5w-40 over the standard 5-30 long life Vw stuff. Forums suggest it helps a bit as these engines run hot oil temps anyway. New foam filter for the...

    I’m looking at one of the weekend dates at Snetterton in February. Think there’s a Saturday with javelin and a Sunday with MSVT or vice versa. £129 each

    Power from Cams, Ported Intake mani and full exhaust

    Just save your money and spend it on trackdays unless someone has already done it for you is my advice. I had a long conversation with a tuner and he was of the opinion that Renault did a great job with the standard stuff and it’s hard to beat

    Yes in the fact I don’t want a track car anymore I want something that I can drive on the road at weekends. Something that the wife will get in with me. It’s more comfortable and quiet. No if I was doing multiple track days a year. The Clio was epic and will never own another like it!

    Donington Park 5/11/23 Time had came to test the Clio replacement on track. Have gotten a feel for the car over the last six months and was quietly confident it would be fine. Weather was decent and dry. Had rained overnight so conditions were damp to start but a drying line soon started to...

    I’d take some of the comforts over the marginal benefits of shedding 40kg! Sorry our chat wasn’t longer Ethan. Can only imagine the abuse Alex was aiming at my choice of new car:grinning:

    Looking to buy

    Occasionally Alex at AWMotorworks will know of one. Maybe message him through one of the social platforms

    My experience of the zpo is its knob is nearer to the steering wheel so less distance for your hand to travel when shifting and therefore more time with hands on the wheel where they should be. It might not be mechanical linkage but it feels so sweet.
