Stand on the gate at CSS with a "collections" bucket? xD A splitter, flat floor & diffuser IS a Venturi.

06 Ferrari F1 car Some late 90s/early 2000s BTCC cars Some 80s/90s Group C sports cars Honda Insight (90s eco warrior thing, ahead of it's time!) Blood hound etc Can you think of any more road cars? That's all the mainstream stuff I can really think of. The fact that those are all very extreme...

To elaborate, because canards are really interesting, they deliberately create a vortex in a very strategic position. Assuming it's fitted the right way up lol, the direction of rotation will be "into" the door. When done well, this helps the airflow around the side of the car "stick" to the...

They mainly make it look as though you don't know what you're doing ;) To maximise canards (which predominantly exist to increase the efficiency of a diffuser!) you need: A diffuser & flat floor A significantly lower ride height Very stiff suspension (to the point which it's compromised in low...

*Harder.

What's the model number for the CPU e.g. E5-26xx? If those Xeons are current models and 4GHz it genuinely sounds like you've missed a zero off the price. I think it's been said before, buy smart. Everyone sees the price of Xeon or Quadro branded stuff and assumes it must be 4x as fast as the...

The light will go off on it's own. You're spot on with the "cup pack" thinking, you can get a safer indication by measuring the hole centre spacing on the coilovers/hub. Cup packed cars are 60mm, vs 54mm standard IIRC (easily searched on here, it's been said a thousand times). Some people...

ESP light will be triggered by the ABS light as it's part of the same system. Cracked ABS rings are relatively common on Clios & can be visually inspected. They're about £10 depending on the spec (182s with the optional "cup" chassis & pure 182 Cup models need a wider 44 tooth ring than the...

BG Motorsport are at Silverstone. Worth a call to see if they can get KW bits.

For some reason all the 172s came with 195 width tyres and all the 182s came with 205. However all Mk2 Ph2 Renaultsport Clio wheels are the same width, regardless of whether they are from a 172/182/Cup/Trophy. Therefore people assume it's fine to fit 195 or 205. The large majority fit 195 as...

LOL ^^^ Forget about Cups, Trophys, Turinis etc and go for 195 width tyres. Plenty of choice, they fit fine and are around £100 a set cheaper than the same thing in 205.

Not to mention rattle & clunk around every time you go round a corner or over a crest etc.

That ^^^ Bought some of these the other day. I've used better & I've used worse. Either way you're holding 80 KG of wheels down not 1000KG of race car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110980796450?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I've got some track wheels for sale from a 1.2 if you're interested, they look identical to the ones above :laughing: Means you don't have to worry about damaging them or wearing out the tyres that you need to drive to work with on Monday etc (but seriously, I do)

You moved the toaster again didn't you...

From an automotive design point of view, separate spring/damper versus a strut/coil-over-damper is a 10% attribute 90% packaging consideration. Despite what GAZ would like you to think, having a coil-over-damper arrangement isn't automatically 10000000x better but it does have slight structural...

Sounds good!

What do I need to do to get on said bonnet? Can you just rock up, pay & sleep in your car or do you have to pitch a tent on health & safety grounds etc @optical I feel we owe it to RDR in return for his CS-central-night-out (or whatever you want to call it) appearance!

Yep, the "egg shell" comes off fairly easily. There's plenty of features locating it onto the outer bumper skin & only a few (big ish) plastic clips holding it on.

Imagine removing a vinyl wrap from a car to find that underneath...

The two single wires join up to become "two wires" before some pleasingly easy connectors attach them to the somewhat big & messy alarm loom. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/ultrasonic-sensitivity-red-white-wires.686754/#post-10587033

That looks like the bonnet closure sensor (part of the alarm system) connector but I really don't recall both wires being black. The wiring definitely isn't that long as standard either so looks to have been modified. There are two versions of the bonnet closure switch and the plugs are...

Am I allowed to say I preferred it on the OEM wheels? CSLs wheels go with the CSL bumper & wider M3 arches perfectly... but on an msport or even a standard M3 bumper they just look a bit OTT/try-hard IMO? I know it's been said a lot already, but that steering wheel/interior combination is lovely!

P.S. not to be confused with brake pad shims.

@optical did you get this sorted? You can get ready-made shims exactly for this. They're essentially very thin penny washers sold in 0.1mm, 0.25mm, 0.5mm etc thicknesses. Place them between the hub & bracket (to move the calliper laterally like in the picture below) or between the bracket &...

Tell that to the majority of the F1/GP2/GP3 grid :p And by "rich" to be fair I do mean "children of the rich."

Yeah I completely agree, "racing with family money" is abundant in TOCA and well into the upper echlons of Single Seater stuff, let alone Tin Tops, Arrowpak, Britcar Trophy etc. As you say, you're not going to solicit money from randomers just because you want to go racing for fun. If you want...

Flip conventional thinking on it's head, so to speak. They're not giving you money in order to build a race car. They are buying a marketing package from you. That package includes passenger laps for VIPs, complimentary tickets to race days, advertising space on a car (= TV & Youtube...

Just above the cat to centre silencer joint there's a random stud coming out the BIW. You can use this to add an extra bracket to help support the RS192. I used some L section to go from the body to a generic exhaust rubber & then to an exhaust clamp just infront of the silencer.
