    stud & nut conversation (stud length)

    As above Fronts need to be 8mm approx longer than rear, so I’d go 68mm rear 75mm front. This should give you the same threads showing with the nuts on.

    Gripper Gearbox Oil

    The advice I had from gripper was to use oil suitable for the box l.e. GL4 You then have the option of adding a friction modifier - enough to reduce diff noise but not enough to affect synchro operation We’ve been using this in our NDO box with no issues...

    EBC RPX

    Not a Clio but … We use them on our Megane 2 track car running Meg 250 calipers and Godspeed 355 disks. Below is what Chris thought after Timeattack 2022 at Donington “One thing I’ll add - I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been overly confident with the brakes, even trying different pads (best so far...

    Might be worth the investment https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004W17D94/?tag=clio197-21 Tow bar / car will have a max nose weight, try to be spot on, more nose weight = more stable tow but don’t exceed the manufactures spec (just in case VOSA decide to pull you over) We spent ages setting up the...

    Let's talk seats and harnesses... And cages...

    Exhaust heat wrap . . .

    We used this - wear gloves when installing. We chose this as it has decent temperature range and doesn’t require wetting to wrap https://www.nimbusmotorsport.com/products/view-product/dei-titanium-exhaust-wrap/ if I was doing it again and had more time I’d investigate the Thermomet stuff
