    Track car coilover spring rates......

    Nothing, and I mean *nothing* matched this all morning at a damp Oulton park track. The only thing that came past was a Radical on slicks when it dried up after dinner: People seriously overestimate how much gain they get from running lower versus actually having complaint suspension and...

    Clio 2 rear coilover or separate damper/spring

    Were you looking at something fully adjustable or more on the budget track side just for some adjustment? I did similar for the 306's with some custom Foxes at one point, they've got a bit pricy since then though...

    SPAX Krypton RSX threaded insert

    Ah okay they're just a generic threaded rod with an adaptor in there. Yea, Spax and co will still just swap the entire shaft out, they won't drill and swap the fittings, it's not worth their time when there's shafts on the shelf, plus the risk of marring the plating. I've an old Gaz guy around...

    SPAX Krypton RSX threaded insert

    The insert is the main part of the damper, of course that's gonna be the most expensive bit, the shaft is damaged and the rebound adjuster is toast and even a rebuild is gonna be a shaft and a complete strip and reassembly. Shafts are £50-70 alone. Those Gaz's are shot with that plating damage too.

    Track car coilover spring rates......

    'cause most people aren't running enough droop and are too low for anything outside an aero car.

    3D scanners

    Polycam works fairly well just from anything that has a decent depth camera. Often means you end up using the front cam instead of the rear one though.

    Welding

    But yes, you'd want a motorsport specialist really, most garages won't even touch it and the ones that do weld are scary. And a lot of welding firms are generally setup for bench or heavy fabrication work rather than thin old steel and tubework with awkward access.

    Welding

    Welding is fairly easy Welding a cage and getting it fitting correctly, upside down with your head wedged in a footwell when you can barely see, is another matter completely. If it's a premade cage and you're just welding footpads in, sure.

    Need new rear Tyres Kumho?

    I mean I did that to a set of goodyears and the michelins before 'em on a 1.4 306. Depends what you're doing :D

    Need new rear Tyres Kumho?

    Kuhmo's have been winning a lot of tyre tests with the HS51 and HS52 the past few years, I just bought a set for my daily and they're lovely tbfh, can't fault them wet or dry.

    Rear calipers the same as 106 gti??

    Careful some of the Pugs had 30mm and 32mm rear piston options.

    Crank Tollerance

    That seems incredibly tight for thrust washer clearance if it is, especially on this size 4 cylinder. Most stuff is 0.1-0.4mm in this displacement? 0.023 wouldn't even leave enough for thermal expansion?
