Marc @ MJR in Farsley looks after my cars - http://www.leedsdetailing.com I can highly recommend his work.

I'll post up laptimes so we've got some data to underpin any decisions

It will be a standard front 197 arb with kw v3's with simo adjustable top mounts and drop links. Tyrewise, i'll be using 888's or a used set of slicks.

Had a chat with a race team and their recommendation was not to run one.

Any ARB recommendations for the track?

FWIW - I've bought a Vbox performance meter so I'll post up before and after data.

Any recommendations on a decent outfit who can repair worn bolsters on the Recaro front seats, within 90min drive from Doncaster?

Any recommendations on where I can get new or used parts from clio 197 race cars, namely the wheels & suspension?

There are still great cars out there like the Nissan GTR, Porsche 996 Turbo, etc. One key thing is that a lot of the motorsport series that spawned the greats (e30 M3, RS500, etc) have moved more towards a spec series to reduce costs.

Any recommendations on upgraded arb's in-terms of thickness and brand also whether any additional bracing (front, rear, underbody, etc) is required for a track focused 197?

Any recommendations on anyone who does a decent track/race geo setup in within 1hr from Doncaster im struggling to get to Mark Fish for a couple of months?

Hi all, As I've bought the car for trackdays, I thought i'd start a thread on the build and jaunts around various tracks. I'll probably tackle this in 2 stages as I'm looking to go to Spa in September and stretch the clio's legs so may not get stage 2 done in time. Stage 1 PF 2 piece or Cazan...

Its got the 1.8turbo engine and gearbox from a seat leon cupra r running a hybrid ihi turbo. The plan is to put a stroker crank in along with forged bits and use a gtx3071r or efr turbo to get through the 400hp barrier.

Yup - its good fun, especially with @350hp / 350lbft to play with :)

Thanks everyone for the welcome. As nice as the Clio is, I need to find space for it at the front of the house: Pic of the Mini at Oulton Park:

Hi all - I've just collected my 2007 Clio 197 which is a temp replacement for my track day mini which is being rebuilt into a racecar. I'll post a pic up of the car asap but have a few questions: Does the temp gauge normally sit around the 1/3 mark? Do the renaultsport spoilers (front, side...

I'm also interested in going down this route. Has anyone got any pre & post performance data (1/4mile, circuit timings, etc) to share that show the improvements via the stopwatch?
