  1. She's home already taken the f1 stickers off as I'm not a fan! Sabelt harnesses out and being replaced with my black schroths, looking for some better seats and wheels. Think the car will benefit from 225 inlet and throttle body as the r26 gets confused with the 250 ones so I'll be on hunt for them too d2edef4ae50b14ef99222675f63e2da1.jpg b0207f606bb28369ae2c7dda726cef11.jpg a86e21c30e324c53b0666b80881cf24e.jpg 87b2db9a084e1ee33eb37ec339cc9c12.jpg

  2. Looks decent that, nice purchase.
     
  3. De stickered the car (some will freak out that I removed f1 stickers haha) sold the corbeau clubsports and sabelt harnesses and have some recaro profi spg and schroth harnesses to go in. Rear needs to be painted and I need to fit my a048 f1fa8b0d7f871d7e1518214c31e90a73.jpg b40ca9418332315887aad9d2a0f3644b.jpg 7c465c474610f345cfa8d059846c2241.jpg 476bb03049069b32c79832319e2ff8eb.jpg 307094ff51a06fc07cd822494ef77a64.jpg 970bf70868aa8d06865945614390cab8.jpg

  7. Got some brand new seat covers and cushions for the spg's so just waiting for them to arrive. Also fitted some black projector headlights and my #trackobsession sun strip. Gaz golds with topmounts should be turning up very soon and managed to source some 197 wheels with slicks. 857779be88ff53014919ae578b60a7e9.jpg

  19. Today we at TRACKOBSESSION ran a power to weight shoot out day at AMD Essex with a decent turn out with Brown and Greesons doing the weighing. Unfortunately the Dyno broke 5 cars before me so I cant say what power she run but the car weighed 1198kg so 198kg lighter then my Megane which was 1396kgand should be roughly the same power and torque. 96e0c5101f161b57e4aa8cf9cf30af81.jpg 213fe43a7c98347154d628ef05730e0a.jpg 3afcfd06244612e0fd432a4d78844d01.jpg

  22. Suspension finally sorted just needs geo now. Had my throttle body adapter plate made to allow fitting the 225 throttle body to the 250 inlet. Just need to figure out what wires go where now when swapping to a 225 plug. Any ideas?

    Pin 1 = G4
    Pin 2 = G3
    Pin 3 = M4
    Pin 4 = M3
    Pin 6 = D3
    Pin 5 = G2 d78548b1d53f5cb1288e539403266ff2.jpg d3cb40c52785e0790629a9cee2f157ba.jpg 8d935ebc7a649e0f562abaa97d7fb29b.jpg bca3edae748437702e38fd6c328dc8ca.jpg c95d422c3d6521a33780b697ac2e6653.jpg

  23. Loving the Clio bro! Will be interesting to hear your reviews after the work is done and you’ve been on track. Should be a belter!

    Off topic slightly... on your meg, do you know the setup you ran on the KW Clubsports? Ie rebound/compression? I have mine full soft at the min for the road but with summer round the corner and a couple of track days in mind I want to have a tinker with them. You seem to have spent plenty of time on track (and the ‘ring where it needs to be pretty soft iirc?). Any advice would be great.

    Cheers
     
  24. Cheers mate, I'll have to have a dig see if I can find the setting for you mate

  27. So had the suspension geo done today, new rbf600 brake fluid and fixed the seat to the mounts with no runners. She feels goooood 6dd570d956e2502aca6465f4f887f932.jpg 562799a63922a315b65a09a5433a6477.jpg f29e013274f86b2ca470dd4fc5e1751f.jpg c362164efd867e41d98aa6eb6d68de15.jpg 1133d9ee46b9901a0f5cef3580672b9a.jpg 005abbc5511b4286eb2aa3082206d501.jpg

  28. What's it like compared to the 250? I had a clio 200 which I loved but it always felt really twitchy on the back end and nowhere near as stable as the 265, what's it like with all the extra power?
     
  29. Tomorrow I shall know haha

  31. So snetterton was an absolute wash out yesterday but not did i have fun!!! Clio was absolutely unreal. I couldn't get any form of heat in to the federal 595rsr even with the pressures up to 40psi to get the tread blocks hot so zero grip. I didn't mess around with the damping just let it all on the middle setting and just enjoyed the car. Had issue with her getting hot and re bled the cooling system and after that absolutely no dramas. Lost throttle maybe 3-4 times during the entire day including getting there and back but again only when I came to a standstill so maybe I can live with that for a while. She held her own against 400+ bhp cars on road tyres (which you definitely needed yesterdsy)

    I'm a happy man. Very hard to compare to Megane due to conditions but feels very similar.

  32. Gave the car a much needed clean before heading off to castle Combe for the spring action day with TrackObsession. Had 20min session booked and got out and had 3/4 laps before my engine temps went through the roof and had to come in, car cruises and sits in traffic and holds perfect temps perfectly so maybe coolant needs another bleed cc0cea4a1c98c563629b0c77be439a35.jpg 4801895b1444e7beb40b503800ac0036.jpg 329a022c1d6b60300d0053d32c0f8cab.jpg 4a0048962dee80cb7c81484fd1c79300.jpg

  33. Before it starting overheating how did she perform Matt or compare to the meg?
     
  34. Looks great now!
     
  35. Got round to fitting powerflex upper and lower mount inserts along with lower dog bone mount and new coolant bottle...must say the car vibrates a lot my then my Megane did with engine mount insert and vibratecnic dog bone mount but hey track car.

    The old mounts had seen better days 697a9cc84971f75a217294ced8c25854.jpg c8a9a1d2b7581eff6c46a3ec554cc633.jpg 18ce56d62006d398c41259adb565912d.jpg

  36. So the Clio was a riot around the nurburgring this weekend feels very similar to the Megane but I feel it's more nimble and gets out the corners better however the Megane has the better high speed stability. PBS pads worked well for the money so definitely a brand I'd use again. dc6aa561c6d7c74220d8d972ac05a862.jpg 3b02772873b7874eac13b0b5301a5a01.jpg 275d1dda6babf0de029580321d17e228.jpg e836827ec7fa0ddf86521a76163c8ddb.jpg 6c68f16283ff9f3eca0c332622dfb087.jpg

  37. The Clio looks fantastic!

    Had my first Nürburgring experience recently and loved it. What an epic place.

  39. Well I bought her back [emoji85] she had a lot of the go faster stuff taken off so it has stock suspension, stock interior, stock wheels and stock cooler. Still has the downpipe, map, intake, pads, braided lines and xenons. b72685308b88190ec375e00dfe165a6f.jpg ae0a2b5e54612aea8a7009179cad6be5.jpg
