following this was the Scotland trip, with the main focus being doune and knockhill. doune was first and to date has to be one of the scariest hills ive ever driven, the tunnel which makes up the first section is thinner than you'd like, this comes into a section called east brae where it opens...

another update, car has scarily done 4000 miles in the last 3 months. certainly getting my use out of it this year! Following craigantlet was gurston down. First time visiting the course and made for a good weekend. Clio didn't come last and i'm generally happy with that at national events in...

bit late to the party here but i've recently gone from ds1.11 to pbs based on the fact i had some pbs in a cupboard for ages and the frond disks were done which in turn buggered the ds1.11's. i've done 1 track session on the pbs and they're not in the same league, overheat fairly quick to the...

Time for a little update, Trip over to Ireland was a success. First time in Ireland and the first full day there was spent hillclimbing, sadly it rained all day on the Saturday but didn't affect me too much. wasn't a million miles off the pace of the locals which i was happy about having never...

Bit of a bumper update on the car. Got slightly carried away and went a bit ott with the car. Went in to the garage as both the clutch master and slave cylinder were on their last legs making the car practically undriveable, came out with a tad more than that done. Safety Devices is in along...

So little update on this the parts are slowly building with the plan being to do it in stages over next year. I now have 90% of the engine parts waiting to go in along with a TTV Flywheel from Pure motorsport. I've gone a little off course though and have started looking at how i can reduce...

I find the noise is more channelled with the v6, you can hear it more from in front of the car and outside the car than you can inside

another short update on the clio. So was unsure what my plans were for this year, I filled all of the paperwork in for my Licence upgrade and then decided not to renew at all so i don't think i'll see a hillclimb or sprint in 2021 from the driving seat. Trackdays are yet to recommence and i'm...

Hello, I have acquired a set of 403 catcams. My plans are to port the head, upgrade the valves and valve springs along with possibly changing the rods with the intention being to increase the power whilst keeping the engine reliable. Just wondering if there's anyone else out there running the...

Another little update on the car, Not a lot has gone on really due to covid but i did manage to get a competition entry in for an event at shelsley Walsh. It was the final event there of the year and my first competitive event for this year whilst also being my first competitive event there in...

It still seems ok, but the quality is pretty shocking and they're not a great fit. I had to get mine cut and aligned so it would mate with the exhaust properly and the supplier didn't really want to know about it. I know of a few others who had the same issues and they had the same problem, the...

I've seen a few posts recently asking about the power increases that can be seen with the V6 airbox and put a post together on another forum but thought id put it in here also. In my ownership the clio has had three mapping sessions all at EFI and all were done around the same time of year (so...

Cheers, the steering wheel was done by royal steering wheels. They did (and I assume still do) them on an exchange basis where they retrim one to your specification and send it to you, when you fit it and send your old one back you then get a deposit returned, means you can still use the car...

Post trackday update and got to say the car is running like a dream, mods done all seem to work well together. about 180 track miles no effort for the car. Little clip: Hopefully get a couple of hillclimbs in over the next few months

Additional post - My brother decided to sell his rust on wheels (mk4 escort zvh turbo) and buy a renault. we found a 172 cup which has had some serious money spent on it over time but for some reason never got mapped. the head has been ported along with the intake and its running 421 cams. He...

Another update on the clio beings as there hasn't been one since the start of the year. After harewood i attended prescott for one of my favourite meetings of the year - La Vie en blue which is a french and italian car meet they put on every year. heres a picture of the car taking on pardon...

Another little update, Not done a lot to the car so far this year, i've got everything apart from the cabling to do the battery relocation meaning i can at long last fit the v6 airbox. Also I have finally managed to get my predator manifold cut and re-welded so it now sits correctly. (see...

Yeah, I've seen good and bad reviews of them myself, up a short hill like shesley or loton they seem to be great but on somewhere like Cadwell park even as a one lap sprint I've see people with them delaminating. That's why Im thinking of buying a pair to begin with and keeping a full set of...

thought id do a little update Car has been and had the paintwork sorted (finally) and i couldn't be happier with the finish the guy that did it really did do a good job!! I've added an front end image to give you an idea as he did the bonnet, bumper and front wings. I also went for some short...

another little update, i got the predator manifold fitted and took the car back to chris @ EFI to get the map tweaked. The car pulled slightly more than it ever has with a 196bhp run +3bhp over the initial map! (to be gaining power with the abuse its getting can't be a bad thing) and then onto...
