Trackspec Clio 197

haha.

It will still feel like a rolls royce in comparison to the 106. That had solid vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts plus solid rose jointed torque links lol. Since I had the manifold fitted it vibrates against the subframe so hopefully these will stop that but naturally cause other vibrations lol. They should also help with the power delivery.

GoPro software is good but heavy going on RAM, try IMovie or Windows movie maker, both good enough and easy to use.

+1 on Windows Movie Maker - free, simple to use, not the most advanced but does the job well enough.

 

[Chris]

Some pretty good free software on the app store for mac.

Some people use plug in mics to get closer to the sound I've seen.

Awesome, I'll have to have a look for the go pro then.

love track days photos..quite wet too...which tyres did you use mate??

 

[trackspec197]

I have Dunlop DZ03G which are very good. I took my Clio slicks on the trailer and they stayed on the trailer too! It was very wet in the morning and rained on and off all day but gradually dried out a little by the afternoon. Clio once again pushed above its weight. I'm so tempted to turbo it though, it would be quite the weapon then.

 

[Pav]

did they perform well even in the wet??
well who wouldnt want to go turbo way??

 

[trackspec197]

Very well indeed. I was fighting with the car for grip all day but they were superb. Expensive but worth the money for sure.

good to know as i struggled for grip last weekend at Oulton with my GY ass 3..
there are lots of meganes for sale for a decent price and with decent mileage..just need to sort out where to have the conversion done..

I would highly recommend them mate.

Yeah although I'm more tempted by the later 250 motor as they're suppose to be a lot stronger. Looks like there are a few options for installation: Floyd at Four Ashes, Ricky P and Ktec.

 

[Pav]

yeah depends..all of them to far from me so need to give this a thought..
you are not that far..
