    So what feels like an age since Cadwell here's a little write up of the day. So what are the the big changes to car since the last time out at Blyton? Simply put there are no big changes of note to the car. The only minor thing done was adjusting the settings on the shocks of the rear of the...

    Cadwell done for the day. Really good day had by all, the cars made it back in one piece and I’ve had my Chinese. Will do a proper write up later in the week when photos are up.

    No real progress or changes on the car made since my last update. But I am at Cadwell park tomorrow with it! To which I am quite excited for providing the weather stays fairly good. As the last time I was at Cadwell it was a sleet covered day. I still have not fitted the diff that I got in the...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Just on the wheel cleaning with track pad dust; the best solution I have found has been to use a mix of Autoglym Magma and Demon Wheels. I also then use a scouring pad (the cheap green kitchen washing up variety) lightly on tougher areas - my logic being that it cant be any worse than using a...

    That would be my plan but it would be next year before I look properly at it. As I would need car to be able to tow with to start.

    Blyton Park - 11/05/24 In what feels like a lifetime ago I attended a Blyton Park track day with the clio a couple of Saturdays ago; and due to work commitments I have only just had the time to really reflect on the day. We've all done a track day so I wont bore you with the full run down of...

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    Cleaned the car ahead of Saturday and for a bit of head clearing time. The cage definitely passes the 10 foot test though I’m still not 100% happy with it. Here’s an example of an area I’m really not too happy with. Ignore reflection of Barnsley’s answer to Keith Lard. Had some old off...

    Interested to hear how you find the Direzzas compared to the MRF's and if they're worth extra for a set.

    Just to put a quick update date to this thread. Drivers seat is in and drivers harness has been mounted. Thanks to @EthanMenace for the help with mounting locations. No photos of the install or rough parts of the cage as promised. If I'm honest I forgot all about the thread when working on...

    How much more does it cost towing to the ring rather than driving over?

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Is the beam splitter something that is required by regulations or is this down to the individual to choose if they want to run it?

    Thanks Gavin. That actually means a lot. I just need to chill out and stop taking it too seriously.

    Thanks @Beany I appreciate that; I'll be open and honest I've been very flattering with the photo I have uploaded here. I always have this deluded arrogance that I can turn my hand to anything and be perfect. I then get frustrated when it doesn't come out perfect first time! The cage is the...

    Clio cage and interior is pretty much done. Is it perfect? The cage is fine but painting wise I’ll be honest no it’s not. Am I happy with it? Not 100% but it can be worked back to something I can be semi happy with. Plan is to tidy it up for now and get some trackdays do as is then get a...

    It is indeed. There provisions to add to the cage if I want to make it full.

    Cage is fully welded and finished. Got it primed as well today. Not died from fumes but may have shortened my life by a year or two but it’s reyt.

    Sure this has probably been asked / answer before but is that a cut out for the filter on the front bumper?
