    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    That’s really good weight wise. Mines a whole lot heavier and that’s before the fat bastard driver gets in!

    Megane brembos with speedline wheels

    Just a thought, would be worth checking the position of the wheel weights as well in relation to the bigger calipers. Mine fouled slightly on one set of wheels not the other. Got over it by using lead weights and hammering them flatter

    Few more ponies inbound and some peace of mind as well. Nice

    Megane brembos with speedline wheels

    Do you mean the Brembos off a mk3 megane? They’re a tight squeeze under a 17” wheel but fit ok even with bigger discs. If you mean will the offset be an issue then I can’t answer as both my sets of wheels are et45

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Be interested in what Gaz say about spring rates. I run 650f 350r Gaz golds and don’t feel the need to change a thing. Are cup racers on a “true” coilover or a separate spring and shock at the rear? That might be why you see such variations in rates

    Mention me when speaking to Alex. Will likely add 10% to your bill!! No he’s fair on prices and does all my work. Highly recommend

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    I’d avoid Cup 2’s as they don’t seem to work as good on a Clio as other performance models. I’ve got MRF’s currently and they’re good on a track day and possibly safe to go to coffee meets. Don’t think they grip quite as good as AR1 but wear better and I defo wouldn’t use ar1 on street(although...

    Which catback exhausts are track legal? (and don't drone!)

    Cat back resonated scorpion passed every track day I did when I had one

    You’re driving like an old granny lad:think: Edit: just read you’re on road tyres with dodgy brakes and I’ve worked out who’s driving that Clio lol

    Looks good Nathe. Flat through craners? Amazing how much more speed you carry into braking zones with a boosted RS. I think it adds to the drama of a lap personally as you can get yourself into a lot more trouble whereas with the n/a Clio I felt you could just turn the wheel and somehow you’d...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Fantastic to hear a real life comparison between the two. I believe it was conditions that was holding the Yaris back as I’ve seen some of them fly round places like Cadwell with no chance in hell of a Clio hanging with them. Admittedly don’t know if they were standard or not. Look forward to...

    The crunchy 197

    Got access to a weighbridge? Always wondered what a mk3 weighs with lighter seats and halfcage

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    Not heard of the AD09. Will google immediately! Waiting on Nankang new tyre to see how that performs. CR-2 from memory but probably wrong

    No modifier in my gripper box oil just ELF. It’s a megane box so might vary slightly. Just saying like above. Might be worth double checking. Jade developments have a high reputation so would be surprised if you’ve been ill advised
