This is the reason I have sold my beloved Clio: https://c1racing.club It’s very cheap motorsport and looks achievable to be in a position to race next year for ~£6k The plan is to build the car this year, run a couple of the shorter races next year and then try to do more of and some of the...

Hi JohnyRS, I’ll just repeat what others have said; there’s little to no point chasing power with the normally aspirated F4R engine in our Clio’s. I’ve heard and read about guys spending lots of £££’s on power upgrades to end up with a whopping 215bhp, which you would hardly notice over the...

Very nice stance. You've got yours running much lower than I have (also on B14's) and yours looks much better. Nice job...

I've just put B14's on and I've been running 20mm spacers since just after I got the car 3-years ago. Not been on track since I've had the B14's but when I had the spacers with cup chassis the car was great on track...

I've just put a Quaif on my road car and am very happy with it, however when speaking to Sean at Jade Developments he suggested he could set a plate diff up for the road and it would do a better job. I'd recommend a conversation with Sean as he seems to know his stuff and sets up Clio race cars...

Sorry missed one...

200 vs Focus RS (not Chris Harris but very good vid) Jethro Bovington driving the Clio at press release, as mentioned earlier in this thread Chris Harris comparing new Citroen DS3 Racing to its competitors (love his comments on the Clio)

The speakers are 13cm (5.25"). I put the Pioneer TS-Q131C's in the font of mine, which are custom made for Renault, although any 13cm speakers should fit ok. The standard speakers in mine didn't have a tweeter under the covers in the dash, just a blank under the covers, but the wires were there...

I had been thinking of a set of Cup 2's next time, not any more!!! In fact really surprised by this lack of quality from what is supposed to be one of THE premium tyre brands!..

+1 for the AD08R's, a great bit of kit with a proper motorsport tyre feel. A bit crashy for road use compared to MPSS's or Conti's but they give loads of grip compared to the other tyres mentioned...

Thanks Matt, I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on this option. I ran Koni adjustable shocks on an old race car and they worked well. Not an option I'd considered fir the Clio but I'm definitely interested to see what you think..

Thanks Mes, I've just read through your build thread and found reference to Sean at Jade Developments for the adjustable B14's. I actually grew up in Barwell so should at least be able to find the place if I need to!! I'll give him a buzz in the next couple of weeks so that I can understand the...

Thanks for all the opinions... I'm definitely leaning towards coilovers as I do believe there will be a big difference over the cup chassis, as some on here are suggesting. I'd better get saving the £££'s...

If it's a daily-drive and you can't be without steering wheel then I've got a peeling standard wheel you can send away for retrim and then let me have your old wheel once you take it off. I'd be happy to send if you can cover the cost of postage. PM me if this would help?..

Excuse my ignorance if this topic has been covered before, I have done searches and haven't been able to find the answer I was looking for? I have a Clio 200 FF Cup and was thinking of upgrading the cup springs/dampers to a set of coilovers (B14's or AST's depending on how much spending...

I was lucky enough to buy a cup racer style cup spoiler from McCoy200 a few months ago

Only thing I would recommend initially for track use is a harness if you have the Recarro seats. I bought an e-bay harness, and a reasonable sized d-shackle then went to a scrap yard and bought 2 seatbelt tongues (things that clips into the seatbelt buckle). D-shackle goes on the seatbelt rail...

I've just had an exchange box from K-Tec due to 3rd/4th synchro trouble and had a quaife diff fitted at the same time. The diff is an awesome upgrade, I can now turn off the traction control in the wet and boot it out of 90deg corners and it just powers through. I'd say to try the t/c off...

I've been running the K-Tec 19mm spacers for 3-years now without any problems. certainly never noticed any detrimental effects to handling and they do fill the arches much better than without. Just watch your wheels as they're VERY easy to curb with the spacers on...

Definitely split the car. A few years back I bought a 1990 mx5 for AU$12,000 , spent 3 years and over $30,000 turning it into a track weapon and then sold it for $15,000! The car was still worth the $12,000 I paid and there were at least $10,000 worth of parts had I split the car. And a word...
