My car....what have you done to it, poor thing. No seriously, looking good Graham. Re the intake, I thought it was generally agreed that the set up I had on it with the air filter mounted just behind the n/s headlight was the best set up. I'm sure there are threads about it, with stats etc...
Already got the brake braided lines on the front Graham if I remember correctly. I've got the backs somewhere, which I never fitted. Will dig them out and pop them in the post to you. And excuse the stilts people, I had Eibach sportlines on it but they are now on my brothers Clio.
Graham ...having just sold you the car, and having done one or two trackdays myself. You have the basic's now ( pads and tyres ), I would invest in a set of Eibach sportline springs ( or similar , cooksport's etc ) . Apart from that the car is good to go. Stripping it out etc will obviously help...
Well that price didn't last long, back up to £111 now. Oponeo must have spotted their mistake.
And having used both the tyres you mention on track, go for the 888's all day long, the NS2R's don't get near them.
For the road Eicher , about 12 quid for fronts from ECP , work perfectly well. For the track best I've found so far ( braking power and longevity combined with not outrageous price ) Carbon Lorraine rc5+.
These people have a listing for these at a very reasonable price , I have been considering them for a while but havent yet got around to ordering. Dont know if when you try to order they might say they cant get them any more. If you do manage it please update this thread and let people know...
mytyres.co.uk or blackcircle both have recommended fitting centres, just put in your postcode etc and it will offer up places who they use to fit their tyres.
Ok my brother has a 51 plate 172 normal, non cup. Its fine except for the engine ( very noisy dephaser, and it now looks like a knackered gearbox ).
I have the remains of my old cup and about the only good thing about it is the engine ( all fine ,had belt and dephaser done about 9 months ago by...
I have one , and an airbag module also so if you wanna come over to me I'm ok with that. I'm no expert with it but my serv and airbag light was on and I've managed to turn them off. I.m in Carshalton, surrey. Pm me if you want. Will be working on a clio tomorrow afternoon at home so that would...
Bite the bullet, part with a little extra,....toyo R1r or yoko ad08R or federal 595 rsr. Paradas are tripe on track and are known for blistering when pushed, and some people wont even use T1R's on the road ( although I found them ok on an old nissan almera I had ) , let alone on a track...
Had a search , couldnt find anything the same so......
My brothers Clio has developed a noise, mainly noticable off throttle but goes when you push clutch pedal down. Let clutch back up, noise returns so guessing its clutch related. But from the threads I've read the release bearing going gives...
