This is now SOLD. Search for similar items.
Description:
Changes in family circumstances make it unlikely that I will be racing in the near future, so rather than keep the car and trailer just sitting there for the occasional trackday I have decided to put them up for sale.
The original car is a Clio 182 Cup, which we bought in 2018 with 129331 miles and converted to an MSA-legal race car. The cambelt was renewed at 129500 miles
The engine has had no significant modifications, as all the upgrades have been handling orientated. It was dynoed at 178 bhp and has since had an RST fuel map.
The RSTuner with ABS module is included in the sale.
The car is no longer road legal and has been raced in CMMCS and LHMC events in 2018, 2019 and 2021 when it was last scrutineered. It has also done several trackdays, the last being August 2022 with the odometer reading 131682.
The trailer is a Bryan James Minnow-Max, which the car fits with little room to spare, the trailer has a manual winch, and the wheel ratchet-straps are included in the sale.
Despite its standard power the car outperforms many more powerful cars, including 182s, on a tight track like Lydden Hill, mainly courtesy of the Gripper plated LSD, shorter final drive and DS coilovers. The weight without driver is approximately 960kg.
Over £10,000 has been spent on race legal requirements and upgrades, the major ones are listed below:
Reconditioned gearbox with Gripper plated LSD and 4.53 final drive. Original gearbox/diff also included
Corbeau Ultima FIA 6-point Hans compatible Harness extended validity until end 2028
