I am afraid the Clio has now been sold and I have replaced it with a genuine BTCC car.

Rod bolts changed in preparation for the supercharger.

So leaving the Clio at its 202bhp naturally aspirated state did not last long , now this is not because it was not fun on track as it really was but we have booked in to do Dutch and European time attack and there are some very very long straights that will just put the Clio way too far behind...

Can anyone tell me of any shorter final drives for the Clio 200 gripper make one but it wasmade for rally cars so takes top speed to 108mph. Ideally want top speed 130@7600 ish.

Car now all loaded in the trailer ready for brands tommorow , new tyres fitted , pads in , fresh oil and filter.

So yesterday we went to Lydden hill now being a rally cross track the surface is extremely abrasive so we opted to just leave the rubbish tyres on and wooden brake pads to see how the geo changes and diff had changed things. Now there was certainly an improvement but the tyres were just...

What mk 3 was it mate any pics.

yeah no problems i am at lydden hill this sat but will be using the old tyres and pads untill the last session as i will scrub pads in ready for brands the week after.

mintex f2r for the fronts , i used just about every pad you can name in the astra as only got 25 mins out of a set and the last set i tried were the f4r and they were epic but did have a little too much initial bite , they were fine on slicks but on cut tires they did cause lock ups so gone for...

New pads on route as i am not happy with the breaking power. Complete fluid flush has been done with rbf660 so will see if this helps or weatheri need to start looking at upgrading the brakes.

Looking at few rounds of Dutch time attack and German time attack.

Yes the side wall is very very soft meaning the tyre moves around a lot and causes a horrible grease feeling meaning getting on the power earlier is a big no no , but a lot of the guys love them I want to know what there secret is.

Possibly yes but I want a tyre I know and like , I hate the Pirelli and want to enjoy my seat time in the car. They may be better on the Clio as I know a lot of people like them but on the Astra they were horrid. I will be using the car in other series where tyres are open.

New tyres arrived to start testing and setting the car up as the current tyres are just not up to the job.

Agreed.
