Glad to see you building another clio. Always so much better building a car second time around. Know exactly what you want now and what works. What you’d change etc.
Want to see this on a track day up North sometime in the New Year! Off you go!

Yep I know exactly what I want to do this time and know how everything works etc.

First one was a learning curve. I know mr though this will end up costing more than I budgeted.

Well not much to update other some more parts arriving

Decided this time I wanted to run a HANS device so decided on this’s Schroth Carbon one nice and light and looks amazing


Is I’m a dealer for proline along with other brands I decided on a set of satin black prolines


Then today my coilovers arrived from GAZ
They look decent they had some light damage to the top mounts so are posting me another set out on Monday.


Il be going up to SW motorsport on Sunday to drop the car off and meet with Shaun to discuss the design of the bolt in cage (he’s using my car as a prototype)

He’s also going to be designing a rear strut brace off my car to link the rear struts together so if anyone’s interested I might get a group buy going.

I also have been running a group buy on an alternative to the cae with a lad called terry (zero point tech)

He’s going to me making me one with some carbon parts but this won’t be until the new year now


If anyone is interested in one il a reseller for these soon and will offer club discount on them unsure on the discount etc atm as we are still in talks.

This is a picture of my last car with the same boss and similar wheel

The bosses are hard to come by don’t come up to often

Great build, like the new shifter too! How would you say it compares to a CAE?

I honestly can’t tell the difference the zpo is a lot cheaper for the same quality if not better.

Well not much to update really seats and harnesses are here now and ready to fit.

These are corbeau pro series x with custom carbon backing



Also had my supercharger bracket arrive need to send this off to be anodised along with some other bits


The reason for not much progress is Iv been going back and forth with SW Motorsports having a bunch of parts mate

So far we have front and rear braces (2 options on the rear brace bolt in and a weld In option)
Seat bases and direct bolt to the floor side mounts, Foot rests and a few other parts in the pipe line.

Here’s a few pics of cage that’s now available to buy




Had some old rear hubs lying around so gave them a go over on the aqua blaster. Love this machine and will have a mountain of parts to put through it when I get the car back

looks great...

 

[R27WTF]

Finally had a chance to pick the car up this week and discuss a few new parts I’m having made up to sell.

First off is the rear strut brace

Then some ally foot plates

We are just finalising the front strut brace which should be done in the next couple of weeks.

Now the cars back when I have time il get the sound deadening off and dry build the car before it goes off for paint.

Well very slow with updates as I have a lot going on currently.

I have been hoarding parts so things should start to move quicker now.

The SW cage has now been sold and the car booked into tylah motorsport for a new weld
In cage next week!

I have been removing all the sound deadening, seam sealer and brackets that are not needed

I haven’t managed to take loads of pictures




Our alloy side mounts are now pretty much ready these are half the weight of the steel ones!

A few nice little additions will be the genuine Renault sport return line fuel rail, cup racer engine mounts (I will be making an adaptor to use the Sadev gearbox on the tl4 box)



Today I painted the team dynamics In a Porsche blue with a pearl coat in also

Il try to keep on track with updates I the coming few weeks
