Oh, now I see what you're saying. Let's assume the Trophy comes with 300-320 bhp. Having more power than that while remaining FWD would be a waste really, because it won't make it much quicker to 60. So they'll have to fit a AWD system adding weight, complexity and increasing the price in the...

They kinda have a Cayman of their own though, the A110.

Where are the reviews and head-to-head comparisons of this thing? All I can find is quick drives on some mountain roads and around Jerez. Is it still too early or what?

Did a few quick simulations in OptimumLap and came to the conclusion that 4 seconds should be easy to shave with tires, coilovers, power bump to 205 and 60 kg weight reduction. This is assuming the tires and coilovers increase the lateral acceleration by 0,1 G. In reality it may be less, it may...

Just a thought but it that's the case wouldn't it be better to get a game where the ring is available from the start? That way you don't waste time getting it unlocked. The superior realism of sims like r-factor/asseto corsa/raceroom experience would be just an added bonus.

Nope, no budget for that. I'll need to shave 10 seconds to be able to come near the front runners! Probably cannot be done with 200 bhp whatever I throw at the chassis. The goal is to score a few points and have fun. As much fun as trackdays are, actually competing with others is 10x as fun...

Thank you for your input @Matt Scarbro Of you suggestions, what do you think are the most worthwhile ones to start with? The AD08R's are the most track biased of the allowed tyres, more extreme tyres like Pilot Cup 2 and 595 RSR are not allowed. Has anyone successfully ran 255 tyres at the...

There's never been a Clio in the competition as far as I know. I like the idea of getting a pro driver in my car to see what's possible, thank you. The lowest class is a big mess actually. There's everything from Fiesta ST's to Cayman S's with laptimes between 1:17 and 1:24. I'm not aiming for...

Yes indeed, will be quite useful if something unexpected happens as well. But it won't save me any weight because the weight saved from removing the seats will be offset by the weight of the cage.

I can replace the front seats with bucket seats which will save some weight. The rest of the interior should be left as it was from the factory unless it's in the way of the cage (if there is one) so removing the rear seats is possible but then I have to fit a half-cage.

Thank you for your input @Sean197 I bought the B14's with trackdays in mind, so yeah, not quite the right tool for the job but I'm a bit reluctant to sell them 8 months after I bought them. Maybe I'll have to, we'll see. Forced induction is definitely out of the question and so are cams...

@Dmonk197 Yes. I plan on fitting AD08R's and doing another trackday to see how much they're worth together with the B14's. Hoping for 2,5 seconds but we'll see. @Alex Ford right now I have some yellow stuff waiting to be fitted so we'll see how they do. I know they're not exactly race-pads but...

Hello guys. I need your help shaving 6 seconds off my lap time. I'm thinking of competing in time attack here in Sweden and am wondering if the Clio can be competitive or if I should trade it in for a Megane. Here's my best lap from last year on one of the tracks. 1:27.6 with a stock car on...

New sensor is on it's way. In the meantime I put a plug in the hole to restore vacuum and the brake servo is functional again, which is nice. Car drives like it has a 0,9 liter engine but at least it's driveable. Driving it like this shouldn't cause any problems right? There's no misfires or...

The sensor is still broken, yes. The tip that goes in the hole is broken off so air is indeed leaking through the hole in the manifold. But still, why would the intake/injection system have an impact on the ESP and brake servo? Edit: never mind, found the answer. There's a vacuum pipe from the...

So the plan for today was to put some sealant around the MAP sensor. There are threads all over with people doing this and noticing a difference so why not right? I'll tell you why. Because the damn sensor can break and part of it will end up in the manifold, that's why! So I spent an hour...

@///M Dude, brilliant photos! Mine is tveleckovik but I've only had it for half a year or so. I'll be posting more car stuff this year. Just got a decent camera that I need to put to good use!

Both me and @Antti O (and probably a few others) have had the thermostat issue. It isn't hard to replace it just remove the intake duct that goes above the thermostat housing to be able to access the screws. Then unscrew, pull the old one out, put the new one in and screw everything together...

Hello guys, happy holidays/New Year! I just got the timing belt replaced together with the auxilary belt, the water pump and all that jazz and now I'm hearing things from the engine that I didn't hear before. Everything's normal up to about 2600 RPM, then the sound changes slightly up to 2800...

That ain't too bad. I though it would cost something like 4,5-5k. Does that price include fitment at a workshop or were you planing on fitting it yourself and then getting it mapped?
