Sorting out the mechanicals is key to ensuring the car is reliable - neglect them, and that’s where you’ll come unstuck. Things like paintwork, corrosion, and the interior can be tackled as you go, but if the fundamentals aren’t right, you’re in for trouble. If you get a gut feeling something...

Yeah, -2.5 is a fairly aggressive setup for the road to be fair. And as I said, I think Track Torque messed up. -2.2 degrees marginally less aggressive with little to no noticeable wear from travelling back and forth, and it still performed well on track. What's a typical street setup? -1 to...

K-Tec were selling them cheaply at the time. NLA from them now. I can give you the VDO part number—VDO P/N (A2C59513667). Pasting that into Google brings up quite a few. As long as it's VDO and has that part number, you should be good to go. Renault didn't make these, fortunately. Good luck!

Unfortunately, yes :( Thank you for your kind words :)

I ran around -2.5 degrees on my 182 when I was using AST 5100s and planning to use it on track. Toe-out was 2mm on either side. The rear was untouched. The original plan was to drive it back and forth to Croft, which is 30 miles each way. I never got around to taking it on the circuit as I then...

What suspension are you using?

Same part numbers for 172, 172 Cup and 182 so I guess so. I have a set in the garage but I won’t get in there until the weekend, but if you get stuck, let me know.

Never done one tbh. What’s the other side look like?

I’ve seen worse. Take the rubber off and drop in a bucket of DEOX-C for a week. That’ll definitely clean up.

Never actually measured it up, to be honest, but this is mine on factory CUP springs and dampers, with 16" Turninis and 205/45/16 Michelin PS3 tyres. All stock bushes - pretty much factory specification. When properly set up with everything standard and in good condition, they are incredibly...

Good to know you can still get them. I never got to the dealer but glad you got it sorted.

I’m popping into my local dealer tomorrow for some oil, so I’ll ask them while I’m there for you.

NLA from Nissan. Possibly still at Renault.
