    172 Cup track toy build

    Cleaned up well by the looks of them :up: Edit: just watched your video, car goes good. Do you have many tracks over in NI?

    Welding tips?

    Remove the + and - to the battery as I have seen people frying ECU's otherwise..... and good luck arc welding sheet metal, let alone a clio which is galvanised.

    Scottish Specialists, share your recommendations

    I'm willing to fit anyone's timing belt in the Aberdeen area for £180 with the owner supplying the parts. Genuine timing belt kit and dephaser can be had for £222 delivered and then you just need oil of your choice and an oil filter at £9 with sump plug washer. I can seal your cam cover for an...

    Interesting Clio memorabilia.

    Got any turbo 2 stuff?

    Is this ugly weld from an accident ?

    The cars taken a knock to the rear passenger side as can be seen in the pictures, measure from wheel centre to wheel centre on each side for a quick check if anything is bent. Failing that get it on Hunter alignment machine.

    Pure Motorsport Solid Top Mounts & Strut Brace

    I have seen two faults on them, one of the bearing punching through the circlip and also the bearings becoming knackered far too quickly. I think they revised the engineering to stop the first problem and they started giving an option of a bearing with a higher preload to cut down on premature...

    MacBook. What is the difference?

    Another thing that attracted me to one is, just like your other apple products it will never really be out of date with the continual updates they do. For me I wanted two USB's as a minimum and the lighting connectors are the thing if the future too with switch over cables to most device...

    MacBook. What is the difference?

    I'm no expert but I went for a MBP with retina display which means it gets a better screen but it also drops the CD rom drive. I never use that in a daily basis anymore but I did buy the separate CD drive later as I deceided to use it as my DVD player at home. Being a retina display the boards...

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    I had 4.5 degrees with new cup dampers and eibach sport lines and still managed to do the edges in. Good coilover's would go some way to helping I would think.

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    Mark nankang side walls are MUCH stiffer, I don't know where they got that, plus the nankangs have a more squared of shoulder which I think supports the loads better.

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    RSR's are an excellent tyre really and withinh 10% of the big brands like a048r and 888's etc IMO ...... it's just the edge wear that lets them down when you want to run them to the track and back again. You end up with a tyre well within legal limits across the most part but the edges are...

    The Knockhill Thread.

    I have to say I don't think I would book on a reverse day, the big corner at knockhill is Duffis and its a non event in reverse. CallyTee, relax your arms a bit pal, you might feel more comfortable pushing on.

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    If you wouldn't mind James, who did you sell it to out of interest, just to see if it's surplus to them.

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    Extra load rating, usually a stiffer wall. It's the better of the two form a stiffness point of view, I would take the XL if no price difference? Probably a noise difference?

    Subframe / rack removal

    Bend the tabs back with a pry at if poss as I'm guessing someone has put a differnt nut in at some time and used their fingers to hold it until the nut has nipped and now with a little corrosion its locked to the bolt. Either that or the tabs are just bent and not holding the original nut properly.

    Micra

    It's definatly turbo'd as you can see the intercooler obviously but also the turbo through the grill. Not just that it's been widetracked too as that girth ain't from no spacers. The bonnet is also a nod to a GTI-r.

    Micra

    It's probably the one that used to knock around at Crail with em the pulsar gti-r engine and running gear... If so then it doesn't hang about. It broke driveshafts for fun.

    The £600 Cup Track Build

    Yeah you cannot complain at that price. I will be using it as a passenger seat only for pax laps, do they come in XL etc too and do they come with sidemounts etc? For the future you don't actually need an in date FIA seat to go racing, it just has to have once been in date, whereas the belts...

    The £600 Cup Track Build

    Cracking work Arran, done a great job. I'm really liking these cheap seats that Corbeau have brought out, similar to the Recaro pole position. Are they FIA approved, would you consider a swap for one of them when you get it for a nearly new Corbeau Revolution to use as your drivers seat. I...

    ***How much is it worth?***

    How much? Currently on 114k, MOT due August time, needs for nothing, few body marks and the automatic aerial is broken, still works manually though. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/the-tow-car.703855/

    The tow car

    Maybe not as you're still a yoof but I'm putting in what I was paying on insurance for my clios.... how does £600 sound for pottering around town day too day, I don't commute to work as I don't have to while I'm at home. I have never made so many excuses to drive a mini (my GF's car) in my life lol.

    The tow car

    Cheers, try to keep my car threads up to date for reference sake. I haven't no but the trailer is played at 350kg iirc which is nuts given its a 2600kg load capacity. I would say both the cups I had hovered around the 1 tin mark so well within the 1800kg plated towing capacity of the car. It's...

    The tow car

    Yup less than that by a good bit haha, given the engines needing a rebuild and the body has a few age related marks but it just needs a good going over paint touched up in places and a wheel refurb. It was taxed for two months, had 8 months MOT and four new tyres when I got it at that price too...

    The tow car

    UPDATE!! After nearly two years of ownership the daily/tow car has finally let me down just last week. Not the end of the world but a potentially expensive fault.... the fuel pump pick up/sender pipes had corroded through and began to give a small drip of fuel, after investigating and trying to...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    I have missed all the sale of parts on here and the arrival of the new car, it's looking nice. I just scrolled through quickly and will read in more detail later but you wouldn't still have the bracket for mounting the breather tank for sale? It would save me a job.

    My new racecar project (Icemans old shell)

    Just the thing... at that price for the mfc board version its hardly worth bothering yourself. VW camper vans command a premium too when complete so well worth the spend. Do you plan a thread for it, I would be interested.

    My new racecar project (Icemans old shell)

    Everything going good in the RussRacing camp just now, refreshing with all the other cars that seem to drop like flies.... well done, pays to be diligent. One question on the manifold, can you still run the standard heater matrix with existing hoses/bulkhead penetrations, it looks like some...

    Quick release front bumper.

    ^^^^^^ I have the same but I put them behind the reg plate. You can put reg plate on with Velcro circles and nobody will see them. Have you been pulled for your plate yet haimsey?

    Quick release front bumper.

    Trim down and fit the egg box style crash protection that is behind the bumper, it sits on the slam panel and it will support it.
