Looks great Rich, shame I havent seen it in the flesh yet! You stripped it out for track use yet?

Been a while since i updated this

Did another great day with Javelin at Donington in December, car was fine apart from throwing up an ESP/ABS/TC fault which was traced to the common issue of rear stub axle ABS ring guard thingie (tech name).

Both sides cleaned up and a pair of new rear discs and problem sorted.

Car got parked up until a couple of weeks ago when finally fitted a pair of new Cup shocks to the front and swapped the wheels for some red ones in preparation for cheeky trip to Germany for a trackday at Nürburgring

That is awesome... very few get the chance to do this. You will talk about the Clio on that track for generations to come. Cos after this its all electric.

Its nearly time for my annual trip to the RSOC Day at Castle Combe...

So few things to do lol !

Firstly, dash out and along with rest of interior trim

 

[Richie.]

And that can only mean one thing

Full SW Motorsports roll cage

And going to team it with some red Recaro SPGs

Question is, what seat subframe puts the seat in line with the steering wheel as its not quite right??
I’m using a set of Rentune direct to floor mounts on the passenger side but would like to fit sliders to drivers side (currently on an OMP mount).

Cracking build!

How much of a difference did the cup shocks make over the standard items?

 

[lewishunter98]

[Big Ben]

Looking great. Cage is awesome. Enjoy Combe!
