Thruxton is great but the facilities are not, the garages can just about fit a single car

So the upgrades have already got out of control, with the manifold now blowing I have upgraded to the PMS system, as always it looks awesome. Involved a cut to the Akra system and a sleeve to fit but all relatively simple. Also took the opportunity to upgrade the mounts with the PMS kit as...

In my case it is because the OEM mounts have been removed to save weight however I believe the OEM fixing meet FIA spec as per detailed here as I know a few clios that run with standard fixings but then it isn't very clear...

Would love to but its a lot of work, fair play to those that put the effort in as I enjoy watching others builds on YT. Yeah no idea how they where ever legal, I bent 4mm of steel on my seat mounts so no chance these would hold as they can't even be 3mm.

Cheers for the messages guys, been through various states of mind since but feeling positive about it all now. With the new shell jacked up I set about starting the rebuild, about 100 times more satisfying than stripping. Gear stick / linkages, handbrake, steering column, exhaust, rear beam /...

Yeah the video is well worth a watch, serious money spent

So I bought the CarbonWurks / Pro-Line shell, seemed mad to be committing so soon after crashing but I knew it wasn’t going to stay for sale for long. I got a bargain, paid less than the asking with a load of parts including mounts, spares, subframe and rad/fan, which is about 90% of what I...

This might help you, from memory it was very time consuming / scary cutting into the tailgate.

Do you know the part number for this pipe?

Yeah it was big, the adrenaline wore off at about 11pm that evening, don't think I slept for about 3 days after. I haven't found anything that looks to have failed before the crash, there is a bump right at the apex on Surtees which makes the car 3 wheel so everything is on that rear right. My...

Legend, should have a good idea of what I need soon but tbh I am a bit baffled as to how much survived.

Cheers guys, someone shared this on the TrackTime group, haunting..

TLDR, 2 weeks ago I booked a last minute shake down at Brands, started off great and finished very badly, lots of things broken and the shell is a write off. Started the morning with a damp track which allowed me to get used to the changes, with the car now being lighter and a stiffer rear...

Have you checked the connector in the passenger footwell?

One either side behind the fabric inserts, you can see one here

Strong engine considering the miles! It’s a shame we don’t have lots of intake manifolds to choose from like the k series do.

Wiring still not complete as I wait for fire extinguisher and also looking at adding a few more ‘extras’. Instead decided to gut the doors and finally embrace the poly glass. It wasn’t actually too bad of a job although getting the glass out is a real pain if you have left the window fully up...

I am no expert but I have read in a few places that the synchros don’t like a modifier.

2023 plans, race the Clio, don’t care about positions just want to get a car I have built on my drive onto the track in its first race. Still undecided on what to enter, 750MC HH is certainly the most competitive with a lot of very experienced drivers and a few clios which appeals. The new...

Do you have a voltmeter? Can you confirm you have power to the key? (Red wire on the connector)
