    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    It was SO quiet. Only 7 garages rented out, probably only 25-30 cars there today. It was great!

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    Here comes the long overdue bump that usually happens when I spend money. So in December I treated myself to a lap timer, I was going to go down the route of a GPS unit and going through my phone and other such nonsense but I'm lazy enough that turning a GoPro on is hard enough, so I bought a...

    The crunchy 197

    So... Full race car by June?

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I believe that's only there for moving the shell around the factory. I don't think it serves any real purpose

    Jake's RB Clio 197 Track Car

    One of them can look after themselves... :grin: Car looks good Jake, don't feel bad about removing the heater, my stock heater can't keep the windows clear when it's wet out on track!

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Had a quick Google for that ECU Connection, looks like they work from home but the reviews are all positive! Fingers crossed it solves your problem. Headliner removal will probably end up with broken clips for the sun visors, it's not a difficult job but definitely do it before you move the cage...

    GW 200 CUP (clubsport->racecar->v2)

    As always Liam, cracking update. I'd be interested to see how you find the car now you're fully bearing'd up! (Not that I'll do it myself but it's always good to see others progress)

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    I've had mine fitted for a bit now and it's been a good addition to the car. It's a good budget option, ideally pair it with a 'box refresh/rebuild and you'll be good to go for a while. The diff is more noticeable in the wet weather, you can feel the inside wheel grab more than it usually does...

    Big Bens non Clio

    Wind it back to 200bhp so we can have a bigger train around track, that's the better plan :wink:

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    What class are you looking at running in? Certain aero will bump you up a class if it's not OEM style and also for Clubman class you need glass windows, Poly windows will also put you up a class which then means a full cage may be required. (At least this was my take from reading the class...

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    You should be able to get into the 20s no problem. I did some timing from an onboard video and I lap around the 2:25 mark on a cold track. I think I was a little quicker in the summer when there was more grip.

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    Never had an issue. Static was 92db at the last trackday and driveby has never tripped the sound meter, even at Bedford and they're hot on driveby limits.

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    To answer your question about seats. That's a pair of GT090s in there! That's also an SW Motorsport half cage, I went with that because it goes to the rear arches rather than the isofix bar, in my mind it looks a bit better and to be fair I can store a pair of wheels under the cage itself...

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    What license is actually needed? I spoke to someone at Snetterton the other day and they said my car would comply with the lower classes for Time Attack, which would be pretty awesome to be fair!

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Don't bin those old discs, mine felt horrendous after a couple of days using the DS UNOs but going back to my other pads and getting them hot for a few sessions has fixed them. Fingers crossed you have more luck with the 1.11's over the UNOs!

    Cage mounted GoPro. The other video is STILL processing. Odd.

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    Yeah it was mega quiet. There was an RMA day on Tuesday with about 25 cars, I'd say Weds with Track Obsession probably had 35-40 cars? The Pinderwagen and RuskiWebFabs Clio were there, the Pinderwagen was going really well after his breakdown the previous day, RWF's Clio was having a bad day...

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    Once again I did a thing where I said the last Snetterton trackday would be the last of the year. Well, you lot know what I'm like by now so of course I booked a Track Obsession day as it was cheap! Weds 9th November. Snetterton 300. The Clio was still on the trailer from the last trackday...
