Behold, my DIY bump steer setup. :p
Results were very interesting and pleasing.
First measurement is without any shims at all, resulting in a bump steer of around 5 cm's.
Then I thought, let's do the other extreme, and fit all 10 shims. This resulted in a bump steer of just 1 mm...
So I had to get a new lower mount, luckily it was available. Modified it the same day that it arrived.
And mounted shortly after.
I also got a set of drawers from my mother, so I had to raise the lower board of my workbench, but this gave me also the opportunity to get the compressor and...
Good posting @1985michael182. That's exactly what I am doing with my Clio. I've too gone balls deep with my Polo G40, and ended up selling everything as well. I try to keep the Clio driving as well, doing modifications step by step.
I always bleed the old fashion way, basically ignoring the ABS system, as I don't have CLIP or an RS tuner. But does this have any negative consequences, as in old brake fluid staying in the ABS unit?
It's not a Porsche 911 or an E30 M3, it's just a Clio. It will never be worth 20 grand, so just do what you want. And even if, you could always build it back to original spec.
Plowing through the field. :LOL: There's no doubt it's really fast, but what's your opinion about throttle dosage coming out of the corners compared to the ITB setup before?
How's the handling of the Golf? As they say VR6 is understeer heaven.
And do you have any more info about the car? As I can't see a 174 bhp Golf be a car to chase with a decent setup Clio. It must be pretty good developed.
I did my first mock-up on the right hand side.
First impression is that it's wider than before.
I also need to ditch my inner arch liners.
I also had a slight setback at the other side.
I've made a bracket for the original position, and I didn't have to do anything to the wires except maby another connector. Check my thread for pictures. (y)
I found this quote in an old thread, but it is exactly this that makes me think that a 200 hp NA Clio is better than a 230 hp turbo Clio (for track use that is).
All the modifications are pretty much done, just got one ABS sensor to fit. Then I can mount it all back, and see how much caster I can take, and tune the bumpsteer, then it's off to alignment and I should be good to go.
1st of April is my next trackday. Hoping for good weather and a noticable...
I received my new bearings, so I took the hubs with me to work, and pressed them in.
And then you have 2 refurbed Laguna hubs. :)
Next is mocking them up to determine the positions for the ABS sensors. After that, all the modifications are done, and I can start mounting everything back...
