Well, technically more than a year. There has been a huge amount of work, a lot of trackdays, quite a few engines and a major amount of problems...but its still a lot of fun!

Not cleaned it for about 2 months, so gave it a quick wash and went to grab a few pics :cool: Couple of trackdays left this year then its going off the road for winter!

Still looking great f0xy! I love grey Clio's. How are you finding the solid top suspension mounting? I am considering getting some for my AVO's.

Beautifull! What a great track beast!

Any info on the solid top mounts?
Would they work with Ledas?

Yes they would mate.

Contact 'PowerStation' or 'Kam Racing'. They are from a Clio 172, fit spot on. They are AST top mounts.


Thanks for the comments everyone.

just noticed n all, is your original paint jord? only your fuel cap looks a different colour same as mine. :?

i know the whole drivers side has been resprayed at some point, as its had a brand new rear quarter, door, etc (all new part stickers on the insides)...

Also after buying the car and receiving the v5, it was noted that it had been accident damaged and repaired (obviously drivers side)...only one previous owner though, and she never mentioned it when I bought it (HPi clear too)...

Either way the paint/bodywork is a mess, but thats not the priority with it being a track car lol

*Bootlid/Spoiler/Handles/Wingmirrors are fresh paint from a few months back too acctually*

mine just come out from full respray and the only bit that doesnt match is the damn petrol cap

its weird, as it was sprayed up same time as rest of the car. i thought maybe xerus has an issue with plastics, but then why are my bumpers etc fine

meh, just noted yours was the same :lol:

yeah, noticed it with a few bits on my car too.

My mate sprayed my bits for me, I just bought the paint. When I went to buy it, there was something like 6 or 7 shades of 630! He asked me to take the fuel cap in to match the paint too ironically, its not *exactly* the same now its been painted (bootlid/spoiler etc) but its not that far out....good enough for me anyways!

That engine looks like it belongs in that engine bay ,super install.

Is it standard? 8)

its back standard again now yeah...

It did have schrick cams fitted, but the ECU was never mapped properly and it wasnt running right, so took them out for now.

They will be getting refitted with an aftermarket ECU in the coming months :)
