Hi James unfortunately this project hasn't gone any further since the engine build and probably wont be completed now. Me and a friend have brought and done up an old factory Renault Sport Clio Cup car and will be racing that between us in the MSV Trackday Trophy....

Hey that’s a shame, but totally get where you are coming from, the Clio is a great modern track car.

I can’t believe you still have the Evo tucked away in that garage! What are the plans for that?

Also more importantly, what’s going to happen to your k series track car and Dunlop car??

The plan with the cup car mate is to get it up and running, most likely over winter and in primer and will go up for sale. I do actually have the Evo on the road at the minute since im having some of the plaster boards on garage roof replaced as we had a small leak over winter from a loose tile, its only covered 900 miles since 2014 so a bit of use wont hurt it :laughing2
