Small Update... I've managed to fit all the running gear from the Clio over to Twingo and its now on all fours! all fits great apart from the sub frame front mounts. The front looks pretty mean and wide :smile: Plan now is to sort out the roll cage and start stripping all the underseal from...

Yes I think there's a 70kg kerb weight difference, nothing major but every little helps [emoji23] For the mounts I'm think of doing this This is what they do to the s1600 twingo to fit a Clio subframe. I just fancied something different and a bit newer that wasn't going to break the bank :)...

update time: so I haven't been on here for sometime now, mainly due to work and family commitment, with the arrival of my daughter and starting my new job since finishing my degree :smile: the clio has been very much on the back burner. The car has mostly sat idle with the exception of one track...

Nice mate! I love the gt86, I've got one as a work car!! With the full trw kit We've been working alongside Toyota to reduce the shift efforts in the gearbox. As it is terrible especially in cold weather conditions! Anyway I get to drive this all day for freeeee! I'm going to be gutted when has...

Is that just for circuit racing or would that include rallying Kenny? The Msa just amaze me, you can spend stupid amounts of money on sequential gearboxes and engines but for something in comparison rather simply and cheaper to produce and it's banded, not as if your completely redesigning the...

Right then just got off the phone to the local scrut and he seems to think if the car has had a homologation with independent rear suspension I.e s1600 then I should be ok(same as the group 4 thing and 5/6 link with the escorts) I would have to supply the homologation papers if ever question...

Ye the s1600 rear wishbones both pickup from the rear beam. The beam uses the same mounting points as the standard axle. Also uses a rear arb as you can see the last picture I don't think I will fit a front arb, the advantages of gaining extra traction out of corners especially doing...

Cheers Kenny, The hillclimb are just for a bit of fun :) a lot less stressful and really relaxed atmosphere. the local llys y fran hillclimb run a 'rally car class' which As long as it meets the Msa rules for rally is ok to do any modification you wish. Again still not going to match the bdg...

Long overdue update. No real changes over the last few months, just a new front bumper, wing and headlights since the talbenny stages. This spare shell is coming in handy now :) Also fitted a air vent to roof as it's getting pretty hot in there. Got too say makes a massive difference too...

Ok no worries, its the front mount underneath the alternator on cup racer which is the one I'm wondering about, weather bolt spacing on the block is the same on the 197 block as the 172

Just out of curiosity chip would the 197 engine fit whilst using cup racer mounts? Or is the block completely different? Also would a cup racer alternator setup fit on it too?

Looking amazing kenny! Have you basically replicated the cup racer subframe? Or is the engine now sitting lower?

I seconded what James is saying! St75 much stronger box and much easier to maintain as all the parts are still available and very easy to do yourself. The stsda boxs are getting old now and even sadev have stop producing some parts, I'm pretty sure some people where having trouble getting short...

Haha I suppose. Ye ohlins and proflex are 5 grand plus where the Reigers are like 3200 so quite a big saving for suspension that's is like you said as good as or even better

Ye but mega expensive same as proflex, for quality and value for money the reigers would be the best choice, that's what I'll be going over to next year :)

I was thinking that but these boxes are 6 speed, would there be enough space for the reinforcement plate to fit as well as the extra gear compared to a standard jc5?

Looking good there Steve! Are those cup racer ratios in the gearbox? Sounds really short! How did you find harlech stages? I fancied doing it but just couldn't afford to do it with dale stages coming up in a few weeks :)

Looking good mate! Going to be a fair few Clio's out on the stages now ;) we should start out own one make championship lol

Cheers Ian, was nice to speak to you too. Can't believe fowden! What a t**t, you clearly gave enough room for him to pass! Did you make a complaint about it? I really enjoyed the stages, was bumpy in places but has some nice fast sections, gutted I didn't have any incar for this one as my...

Nice! Not to far away then. I'd love to have a go at that one, will have to see how the car is after dale :)

Thanks tony :)

Haha learnt fast then ;) I think where going to do dale stages which is the 25th of May, gives us enough time to get the car sorted, top mount bearings need changing now as there is slight play in them and of course new front bumper and headlight :) also noticed a slight leak from the box so...

Thanks :) ye them lorry tyres are surprisingly strong lol Tbh I think I got away with it likely, I thought the damage would of been much worse!

Little update time! Put in a late entry for the bob shaw memorial stages at talbenny airfield last Wednesday for Sunday just gone! Well what a day, the weather was amazing, started 52nd and finished 18th overall!! First stages was just a case of getting use to the car and see how it felt, done...

Really nice mate!

Seen that done before! Looks great!

How you getting on with this? Hope the manual helped? After reading your initial thread I also had a lot of play in the gear leaver, so last week I decided to change all the rod end bearing and leaver bearing at the base, as they had play in them(probably originals) anyway this wasn't the main...

Proper gutted for you James! I feel your pain.Me and gearboxes don't mix either!! Hopefully it's not a too costly fix and gripper sort it for you!
