    stud & nut conversation (stud length)

    As above Fronts need to be 8mm approx longer than rear, so I’d go 68mm rear 75mm front. This should give you the same threads showing with the nuts on.

    Gripper Gearbox Oil

    The advice I had from gripper was to use oil suitable for the box l.e. GL4 You then have the option of adding a friction modifier - enough to reduce diff noise but not enough to affect synchro operation We’ve been using this in our NDO box with no issues...

    EBC RPX

    Not a Clio but … We use them on our Megane 2 track car running Meg 250 calipers and Godspeed 355 disks. Below is what Chris thought after Timeattack 2022 at Donington “One thing I’ll add - I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been overly confident with the brakes, even trying different pads (best so far...

    Mk3 Spacers

    I concur with the above by RSRowe We used 19mm spacers by BIMECC - https://renaultpartscentre.co.uk/products/bimecc-hub-centric-19mm-wheel-spacers-for-renault-clio-mk3-197-200 Must admit I’ve never been a fan of bolt on spacers (the thought of 10 wheel nuts per corner !) I prefer (and have...

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    Might be worth the investment https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004W17D94/?tag=clio197-21 Tow bar / car will have a max nose weight, try to be spot on, more nose weight = more stable tow but don’t exceed the manufactures spec (just in case VOSA decide to pull you over) We spent ages setting up the...

    Let's talk seats and harnesses... And cages...

    Side mounts - have a look for the Clio specific bolt to the floor version, maybe supreme motorsport or sw motorsport. Depending how low you mount the seat you will need to lower the steering column to get the best position. 4 point harness - shoulder straps use the harness bar on the cage, sill...

    Exhaust heat wrap . . .

    We used this - wear gloves when installing. We chose this as it has decent temperature range and doesn’t require wetting to wrap https://www.nimbusmotorsport.com/products/view-product/dei-titanium-exhaust-wrap/ if I was doing it again and had more time I’d investigate the Thermomet stuff

    Brakes - Fast road and track set ups...IN HERE.

    yeah we’ve used 330mm Godspeed curved vane disks in anger, they performed better than the Reyland equivalent when using DS1.11 pads still think the best pads are RS29’s for performance and wear rate Used RST3’s on the meg’ excellent braking but a little aggressive

    R26 battery cutoff switch

    The autolec battery cutoff switch has an auxiliary contact (5A rated) to cut the ignition circuit when the switch is operated thus killing the engine immediately. Has anyone a suggestion as to where to break into the wiring to achieve this (somewhere nice and easy). Does anyone have access to a...
