We call her Nicole aka projectNUTS (Nicole U track Slag)
It all started as man maths. We decided that we could buy and run a Clio for less than we spend on track with the M5 and GT-R. It was also an opportunity to have something a little slower in a straight line but potentially faster on a lap of some of the tracks, oh and a bundle of laughs too
We bought Nicole in April 2016. She'd already been tracked and had her interior stripped; all that was left inside was the dashboard, stock seats and stock steering wheel.

She's a cracking little car, definetly went well at Snetterton.
The E36 which I own with Marc has spent it's time since then in and out of workshops having stuff done but she's ready for her next outing shortly.

Arh Nicole u track slag. Love it. So what about all the mods since Phil? Are the man maths still working? They are not with the E36, lol
Re: W8PMC's & PhilT's Clio 172 Cup - projectNUTS
The car came with 3 different tyre makes, the front were a pair. They got some abuse and coped pretty well. We've now upgraded and I'll get some pics up soon.Ian_C wrote:Please tell me those tyres don't way EVENT on the sidewalls haha!

Cheers Will. Looking forward to our next outing; Donington on the 22nd, right? http://circuit-days.co.uk/event_info.asp?id=598will1981 wrote:She's a cracking little car, definetly went well at Snetterton.

Will post up the mods when I get time. The man maths aren't too bad, we've definitely had a load of laughs in her and that's pricelessmarc1 wrote:Arh Nicole u track slag. Love it. So what about all the mods since Phil? Are the man maths still working? They are not with the E36, lol

Looking forward to seeing the mods!

She's lovely. A little tinkering required with the Geo & she'll be as good as perfect.
Far more fun than chucking a big heavy road car round the track & significantly cheaper. As Phil says in the 1st post, the whole project including initial purchase price, all upgrades & first years running costs will come in less than the cost of 1 set of tyres, pads & fuel in either the M5 or GT-R for a years track day action, so we're already saving money. Also a giggle doing a whole track day on one tank of fuel (perhaps just over) which costs £40-50 whereas in either of our road cars we'd get through at least 2 sometimes 3 tanks of fuel at close to £100 per tank, per car, per track day.
Rarely does man maths work, but so far so good.
