**Clio 197/200 Race Car Build**

I love this thread. Your attention to detail is great. I hope I get to see you racing this car sometime. Oh, btw I am pleased with the brake line package I got from you. Great quality & lovely feel.
 
That's an awesome project, any updates.

The bills from RSport soon add up, those subframe tubes on the front are about £185 each.

It will all be worth it once you are driving it i'm sure, can't wait to get this far with mine but I've only been at it 4 years lol
 
Echoing above recent posts.

Cracking car, brilliant build, stunning spec.

Just need some up to date pics pleeeeeease. :smile:

Thought I'd start a build thread on our own clio race car build, have done previous build threads to success and also spurs us on slightly, so here gos...

For the first part its going to be very much a catch up as I am around 4 months into the build and will be pretty difficult to go over the whole lot again, will take bloody ages apart from anything!! But alas i will update as regular as possible although its taking so much longer due to work taking over, even though its sat staring at me in the workshop day in day out in pieces! Im bound to miss lots so any questions please ask!

anyway..the car! Its an 06 clio RS 197, condition wasnt really an issue upon searching for one although we actually manged to snap one up for a decnt price in pretty decent condition, only issue was a crunch into 3rd gear which didnt concern me as it was being swapped out for a sadev st75-14 sequential box anyway!

The car the day purchased..

The main aim is to get the car as light as physically possible, cup cars are heavy, i want this car to be lighter, faster and much better than any cup car!

So, fibreglass doors, bootlid, bonnet, and even a front bumper and headlight blanks were purchased, along with a full window kit from plastics4performance!!

then it went for its cage..thanks to Tylah Motorsport.

Thanks, Noah
