Fair enough didn’t realise people had negative buying experiences. I’d noticed his posts don’t go down to well on CSOC though. Has it changed since the original SM inlet? I thought there were quite a few decent dyno graphs floating around for that.

Haven’t read the whole thing so may have missed why everyone’s so annoyed? Is it worse than the original in terms of performance? And even for another £200 is it not still easily the best value N/A mod for £/bhp, beating everything bar the not-straightforward 197 head conversion?

Just go to ECP. £42 with code “box90” and you can pick it up tomorrow. From memory I think you can pay £38 or so on eBay but delivery might not be till the new year.

Being a van they probably assume you're going to crash into every single perceivable object on the way to your next job, x8 journies a day. Have you finished the Audi yet?

VLN website has 20 years of archived entry lists. Dailysportscar & Radio Le Mans cover VLN and are active on twitter and might remember a mk2 V6 amongst the endless mk3s. Probably find Mark Fish has knows where a couple of the cars went or knows someone who does.

Good decision on the Megane V6. Unfortunately the ones that later ran in Britcar & the (then) Dunlop 24hr Endurance Series seemed to have constant electrical gremlins. German series is called the VLN. Be interesting to find out the competition history. Was the rear bumper cut out part of the...

Sorry that’s a rubbish reply, didn’t word it well and can’t edit now. Real world testing exactly as people use cars takes too long. Stuff that’s deemed a waste of time (e.g. letting an engine cool naturally overnight) is removed from the test procedure. Even though it’s never been a problem...

I’m not excusing it or saying it’s caused by X or Y, just there’s far more opportunities for issues to slip through the net than you’d like to think. To compress a lifetime of use into a short test period you inevitably skip lots of things that real people do. Imagine if Mark’s short journey...

Ford dealers will know there's a leak and where it's come from, Ford UK won't know why but will be lobbying Germany like mad, Ford Powertrain will be delving through test archives and Ford's Quality/Supplier Assistance team will be turning over every stone from the consistency of a third-world...

Only got a half cage so probably not a V6 Trophy.

“Clio Cup Race Car” really undersells this thread. PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely VOSA FFS is the most famous Clio?! More famous even than HOU etc

Which direction is the play in? It's impossible to see anything in your video moving besides the camera! These callipers are single piston & hence are designed/required to slide towards/away from the engine as brake pressure is applied so that both pads are applied evenly. The damper shouldn't...

The orange ~ squiggle in the middle is ignition system fault. So this could be anything from coil pack, HT leads, spark plugs, fuel pump, injectors etc. This one?

I'd rather not know than risk getting 165, ta.

Most people use 195/50/15. The good news is that a smaller rolling diameter will make the speedo over-read, not under-read.

Very glad to see it going round all day trouble free!

I assume you did that using "format cell based on formula" with =IF(BF<BC,1,0) in which case you just add another rule to the same group of cells with a nearly identical formula: =IF(BC1=0,1,0) Having read your post again, if you want exactly what you have asked and for it only to work when...

Yeah the owner/builder has a thread on here. TL: DR it's literally all the bits from one of the spare BTCC Laguna chassis shoved in a Clio, with added aero. What other really different/interesting ones are there? Did the RWD 172 ever get finished? The 172 with Impreza 4WD drivetrain? The...

Really interesting read, the customer racing element really differentiates the thread from every other PMS this Kamracing that racing thread!

@RyG can recommend a very quick place if you're in a rush?

If you're a casual enthusiast or taking family go and see the sprint series. Different types of racing throughout the day, longest race is 1hr, easier to follow as there's no real pit strategy, Brands Hatch doesn't require much walking. If you're more of a die-hard motorsport geek go and see...

Ford focus, Renault clio :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping: Add a few k, live a little and get an early Aston V8 Vantage, Nissan GTR R35, Maserati Gran Turismo. If you've got 30k cash I'm sure £2000 on disc/pads or putting a few k aside for a clutch is no biggie.

I take it you went 15x7 in the end?

Surely I wasn't the only one expecting a Nissan? The seats look nice. Are they any more/less comfortable than standard R32 seats?

I recently did 30 odd laps on AD08rs in damp conditions. No standing water to speak of but thoroughly damp. I did 1 flying lap on P-Zero road tyres and went faster. That to me, is enough to indicate what AR1/R888R/DZ03 etc would be like. Yes I preferred the less "wobbly" feel of the AD08r but...

No, ignore that. Having a stupid moment!

Check out the chequer plate covering the rear door card holes. That's a new one.

Hardly the best video in the world. Doesn't work for different front/rear track widths (you need a full box for that), he's using a tape measure and has his box about a foot from the car lol (use a metal rule & measure from as close as possible to prevnt wobbly hands coming into it!), and he's...
