    No it's going to be similar weight but less flex and can mould the splitter, brake ducts, top grill into it and will make it much better in my opinion :) Haha great stuff, don't mind at all that's what it's all about! Hahaa sorry no afraid not buddy! Don't have time unfortunately and it's okay...

    I did wonder what had happened as I looked on TSL and saw you guys had only managed 6 laps :( Yes should be great and yes I saw you guys on the entry list I think you are only a few garages down from us! They are just a cut slick for wet that dunlop do so not suitable for our kind of racing...

    Yes completely, I will make sure I'm not holding the clutch unnecessarily and hopefully be okay. As you say can't see f4r being worse than any other but I know of someone with a similar clutch who wore through to the backing very quickly. I will be going hydraulic when I do the sequential box...

    I went with the lowest one that helix do which I think was 210Ib/ft it does feel like it's either going to snap the cable or bend something in the pedal assembly. Apparently these really stiff clutches also knock out the thrust washers in the engine very quickly which won't be good if correct :(

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    Clutch fitted but oh my days the pedal is so stiff! I’ve got a feeling it might snap the clutch cable but will have to see. Finally 3 and a half years into the car and forgetting the old key for the fuel cap I’ve got a non locking cap! Seriously nearly everytime we take the car anywhere I turn...

    Did Snetterton yesterday in the Clio as a bit of a last minute trackday, the weather looked rubbish so thought the clio would be most suited! Since Silverstone in the wet the week before myself and Porkie decided we needed some proper tyres for wet weather so we’ve gone halves on a set of proper...

    I only used it once in the wet before it broke but yes it was very good :) in at Snetterton on Monday and it will be wet so will let you know how I get on. Basically when the heated screen is installed you have to seal around the edge of the glass to seal the element I instructed the people...
