Renault Sport Clio 182
Discussion
After complaining of how slow and dull my Seat Leon was, I decided to take it upon myself to get a proper hot hatch.
Here are a few photos from when I picked the car up
I've done quite a lot since owning the car, including both belts and dephaser and various cosmetic touches such as cup spoiler, fabia splitter and colour coding the badges on the doors.

I also did my first track day on Wednesday (2/10/13), I decided on Cadwell out of impulse and must say I'm glad I chose it as I had a great amount of fun and getting to see what the fuss was about Clio Sports

Thanks mate, I got this car for the purpose of doing track days.
I was going to buy a second set of wheels purely for track wheels but I've nowhere to store them so opted for some Conti Sport 3's on the 16's.
When I bought the car I replaced the brakes on the car, the rears are genuine Renault disks with KTEC Racing brake pads with a full Brembo disk and pads up front.
At Cadwell there was an initial burning smell coming from them after my first 20min session on track but after that they were fine, never came close to fading on the day. I did notice I had lost the initial bite of the brakes for a few days afterwards but it seems to be coming back now.

Put better fluid in the brakes.. works wonders on these.I was going to buy a second set of wheels purely for track wheels but I've nowhere to store them so opted for some Conti Sport 3's on the 16's.
