Red Clio Cup goes Nordschleife

[Bluetex]

Hello

I bought this little beauty 2 Months ago , from 2012 and with 22000km.

I want to use this Car only for driving at the Nordschleife or Hockenheimring.

I started with this Towstrap, had to cut out a little bit to provide this thing from falling off also the Original Towhook got shortened about 4 cm.



After this I started to reduce some weight and get some Space for the Rollcage.



Little Windscreen Decor



I thought about buying the Scorpion Catback Exhaust but decided to cut out all Resonators.

Little Vid will follow

My Plans for the Car this Year are:

Megan RS Brakes with Endless a06 Pads

Remove Acoustic Valve and fit some Pipe to feed some Cool Air

Remove the Intake Resonator

Schroth Profi Seatbelts

Fit some Eibach Springs

and try some new Tyres (Dunlop Direzza)

Hope you like my Plans and if you got some Questions ,just ask

Sorry for my bad English

Brilliant looking car mate! Looking forward to more!

 

[Bluetex]

Next step is done

 

[TB Rich]

Very nice, but you need to remove the words 'Clio RS Cup' from the sides. If I'm not mistaken that's in 'Comic Sans font'!!! :lol:

 

[Bluetex]

Yes its the Same Font like the old Porsches got on the side. I will remote them and maybe get the Renault Sport decal.

This week the Schroth Profi will arrive too and it will get a new Diffuser

Do it, just dont drive the length of the UK and go via Dover, that would kill a man , Hull - Zebrugge would be more suited . in the absence of a nearer port in Scotland.

 

[chris1888-197]

[MENTION=53598]Bluetex[/MENTION] yeah defo go at least once in my lifetime mate. Me and a few boys from work were talking about doin it next year. [MENTION=52200]montana[/MENTION] what a drive that would be! Yeah your way sounds alot more sensible bud.

 

[Bluetex]

Then we should drive one lap together

I realy love this little Clio Cup Cars and after watching so much Pictures i realy think about converting my Clio into an REAL Clio Cup Car.

Don't do it, I did it with mine (only difference is gearbox - mine is diffed and have shorter 5 and 6 gear along with short final drive - max speed at 7800rpm is 210km'h - but still thinking of buying Sadev with proper plate diff) and its not worth it in terms of money and time spent. Better sell Your car and buy a genuine X85 Cup race car.
not mentioning differences in suspension but Sadev alone costs about 6-7k EUR, steering rack along with power steering is different and expensive, wiring harness is mega money, aftermarket dash, You'll need standalone to do it right, and it should have option to run CANbus if You want Your power steering to work (Magneti Marelli SRT, Pectel SQ6M, Motec M400, from cheaper ones which i used is Ecumaster EMU) but You still need CAN protocol to enable EPAS (i'm stuck at this point), many, many aspects and at the top of this You'll spend months trying to make it work, get frustrated spending time in a garage instead of racetrack and spend lots of money, much more than used Cup car for sure. I still, after half year, didn't managed to get mine on the road.
long story short NOT WORTH IT, buy a race car instead.

Probably easier like jacol says to buy an X85 and make that road legal than the other way around.

Though the standalone ECU issue is no longer one for mk3's since I gave SC my car for 2 1/2 weeks. SC Delta 4 GDI ECU I have, fully integrated and working over CAN, including obviously EPAS. The only thing I currently don't have working which should, is the fuel gauge - but we will resolve that. Also you'll lose cruise control but if you are going for a Cup Racer you'll maybe switch to cable throttle anyway so you would lose CC regardless.
