Does anybody know about the setup of the handling on these, I'm not wanting to spend much money on anything but if I could fit a RARB from another model or car cheap enough or do a few small tweaks to the geometry then I would.

£1450 mate. Yeah they do sound good up on cam, I can't help but think they would beat the Clio's but I have read on here that the Clios handle them no problem?? Thanks, yeah it won't take much really. From the looking I done, a £1500 car gets you a high milage car with part service history...

Hahahaha yeah I bet you did, I'm still getting a shock with a very used set of Yokohama Parada's on the front.

TBH they have never been on my radar having had a friend when I was younger that went through 2 engines in the 140 bhp in quick succession from oil starvation, from what I have read though the 190's are different case other than potential of chewing through oil with piston ovality and badly...

So I bought this on Saturday, I was fed up of putting fuel into my Shogun Sport V6 and my criteria was cheaper on fuel, tax and insurance. It will just be used as a stop gap for the summer between rebuilding my A4 Avant Audi engine and the selling of my jeep. After searching through all the...

No it doesn't, as little by as its for your mk2 Clio and not the mk3. They're 60.1mm centre bore, 4x100mm PCD x 10mm thickness, non hubcentric spacers which I would be my first choice as it leaves very little of the hub spigot to engage in the wheel. I used 10mm hub centric and ground down the...

That's a link for exactly what you asked for mate, 10mm per side 20mm track non hub centric spacers?

One of the company's sites listed above maybe? http://www.carparts-tuning.co.uk/en/oxid/Spacers-20-mm-System-A-fit-for-Renault-Clio-Typ-B-C57-3-Typ-R.html

Sorry @mark123 , I was thinking your name was mark182 and that's the photos I meant. You also had tie rod photos too in that same thread?

I'm not going to lie, I know very little about what is what on the different evolutions of cup racer @p@blo but I do know there is a lot more than 5mm per side of difference in the drillings on the subframe holes between 172 ph1 and 172 cup. There was a thread on here last year where Mark182...

I'll just post this spiel which is something that I have posted in the past. All of this is stuff I have researched myself by speaking with Adam at Wolverhampton about part numbers, seeing the differences physically or seeing people's GEO print outs. Anybody correct it if I'm wrong but I'm 95%...

There is of course cars that run for longer periods of times without troubles and I have no doubt that yours was built with thought and time @CUB which can't be said for most in here. I still stick by my initial statement that you're building unreliability into a car by turbo'ing/supercharging...

You're building un-reliability into a Clio by turbo'ing or supercharging it, ITB's are simplifying things. All IMO of course and a sweeping statement but there isn't one boosted car on here that doesn't have niggling problems and are constantly needing this or that stripped or rebuilt.

Worrying, I hope mine doesn't start this malarkey.

I missed what happened here but it doesn't take much to put two and two together from this page alone, admirable that parts were bought in replacement mind you. I have FG doors for sale too Pete..., deal with them and the ITB's :tongueout:

The key to finding sponsorship in club racing IMO is if that sponsor can supply something to you that's useful to your racing. I.e a trailer company supplying a trailer/marque. Food company supplying food for the weekend, haulage company that can give you fuel and or sort your vehicle if you...

As said... The cup wishbones increase the caster by rotating the ball joint forward with slightly different hole drillings and will not need a change of driveshafts but if you think about it then they would be slightly more extended than with standard wishbones. Not a big problem. Fitting a cup...

Given what you have said.... Get the 33/57 5th and start using it a lot earlier than you would. You have good power on tap from 5k. If that's not right then just up your limiter? The 5th gears are what... £60? Anyway which ever way you go I'm told the 5th gear swap isn't the biggest of jobs and...

Remind what speeds that gives you in each gear? Could you go lower in the FD again or did you risk spinning everywhere other than on the hottest of dry days? Terminal times down each straight is more important than off the corner really in the time attack style arrangement that you plan, speed...

Do you have a lower FD already Neil? If I'm honest I found the standard ratios in the cup just right for KH with the 195bhp in my ITB'd cup. I was really buzzing the engine along the straight to carlube in 3rd when pushing and just about buzzing 4th coming into duffus. With your thing having...

Seems most ph1's are becoming quite prone for rotting around welded points and sandwiched areas where water has sat. If you're wanting a proper, easier to mantain and cheaper car to maintain then definatly go 172 cup. Most end up turning their 172/182's track cars into cups anyway with the cuo...

I have the same as above picture. ^^^^^ no point wasting a couple of minutes when you can have it off in less than 10 seconds :wink:. These are a good alternative to aerocatches http://www.quik-latch.com

I know you said passenger side but I think you meant the drivers side and I think I know where you have dropped it. Under the the engine mount beside the air con pipes? If so I once done this myself.... I ended up removing the engine mount support that bolts to the timing cover by supporting...

Dan how do you find the operation of the Summit equipment, I'm going to have one if their steering mounted controls but I have yet to decide. Their new raptor and talon range are very nice. Which operations do you have through yours and is it 100% in operation as far as the buttons?

Depends which circuits you go to. If they have the beacon for certain types of timers, at knockhill most use demon tweeks timers and they are left in for most track days to. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/lap-timers/demon-tweeks-lap-timer And the beacon if you need it...

Pitlane motorsport airbox yeah Mark if it's a copy. Loads of nice bits on there.

So it is, be nice to see your figures without ITB's.

Very nice Mark :up:.... Cup bracket going on for the alternator? Does it fit on the 197 block?

2 x 10mm nuts for the rail guard. I don't know how you can't do it then, fiddly right enough but you should have more than enough room buddy unless your PAS pipe has been bent.

Fuel rail guard off if you want more room. Two 10mm nuts, you'll need a depo 10mm socket.
