Last bits of ring prep today, off to fit pads and fitted my opened nostril grille but typical clips are weak so cheeky cable tie job again but function over form atm bless her 07487cbc94ffd30314b60371cb6890c7.jpg

Looks like a good job! Have you thought about cutting holes behind the number plate, and removing the plate when on track (obviously)?

I have but after doing it on my pals and seeing how much bumper support needs cutting it's not worth it imo

If you take all the steps that are suggested, there is no way you will have overheating problems. I replaced open grill, back to standard. The holes behind the numberplate, do not affect the structure, just remove plate, when on track.Bonnet vents are not needed, providing the fan is the right way round!!.( Thats another subject.) I have fitted an over ride switch for the fan, but never used, temp. on track remain normal.(ISH!.) With the work you have done, I am sure all will be fine. Take care at the ring, and enjoy. I will be at Spa/Ring, mid July.

This sounds interesting..I would love to do this,not that I have some temp issues but just to see how it effects the whole thing...
 
2 laps done tonight and the car feels great, deffo need to get used to her as it's only second time I've driven her in the dry on track. Temps where perfect 1st laps and a little hotter second but nothing major. 316c4e942c8d47f3ca18beb469a38c9e.jpg81f46efb80c892b94b25880d4f9cc2b1.jpg

5 more laps done today and wow what an awesome littler car!!! Guy in the E46 csl was properly confused on how this little Clio was catching him and passing, BMW e92 m3 was pushing hard to try stay in front. The Germans love it because of the conversion but it's been mega so far.

I'm genuinely so damn jealous of this. Gotta get a passenger ride with you at some point in the near future Matt!

So car was getting hot again so thought we'd check the thermostat and wow found it covered in silicon and whacked it in boiling water and it hardly opened so hopefully found my problemab67953c45ef8332f5b14bed078ce977.jpg
