    Scrub Radius- How much of it?

    I worked on a World Rallycross project up until a couple of years ago, many long days were spent measuring and fine tuning then drawing up and modelling. Attached was a revised bottom pin that was brought in for roll centre correction. It was really interesting working among some talented...

    I think I may run with and without at Bedford to compare. Tapatalk

    Scrub Radius- How much of it?

    I've just ordered some 16mm hubcentric spacers for the front. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371033285011 £26! Trackday at Bedford on 24th then a sprint with MLR at Cadwell on the 29th October. Car hasn't moved since April 2015!

    Scrub Radius- How much of it?

    Thanks for your input here. Do you have any drawings that you could post with some dimensions to use as reference? I found a piece on (vw) mk2 drivers with that info, so something similar would be great to see. Tapatalk

    Scrub Radius- How much of it?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that have very little effect on scrub radius? Only when the wheel centre line and bottom pin relationship changes does scrub radius alter. Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk

    Scrub Radius- How much of it?

    By leaving the TCA's alone, moving the hub/drive flange out and increasing offset? Or Extended TCA's and increasing offset alone? Please explain

    Scrub Radius- How much of it?

    I am also keen for someone to advise on this issue on the 1*2 platform. I have seen a Roll centre kit exists with ball joints to correct any bump steer. Has anyone explored Ackerman angle benefits/tweeking or fully understood the desired scrub radius on the 1*2. Perhaps some of the race boys...

    172 Cup driveshaft sourcing

    Love reading those disgruntled reviews. That poor woman is "discussed" by J&R :tongueclosed: I think I might seek some shafts elsewhere..

    172 Cup driveshaft sourcing

    Of course but it is made to sound like these J&R are inferior parts and are cost effective due to failing before the warranty end date.

    Don't really want them going bang tbh. Could be a £300 day at the track down the swanny.

    J & R shafts. Some say yes, some say no

    172 Cup Sprint/Track car

    Thanks! Might look at the PMS one. This car is supposed to be cost effective, so everything on it is second hand.

    172 Cup Sprint/Track car

    I have to say that the Whiteline RARB and the PMS shifter are very heafty additions to the car. I should have weighed all the parts to see what the difference is.

    172 Cup Sprint/Track car

    Booked another sprint in October, so dug the Clio out of the garage. Not turned a wheel since April 2015. Added a brand new Whiteline RARB and fired her up for the first time since last year.

    How could you say such a thing?

    Brown sludge in coolant tank

    If it's the latter it's probably caused the former. Without a crystal ball it's impossible to say Bert.

    Yep, we saw those guys quite a bit. Their 340 is a cool car and they are bunch of good lads. The after movie should be good.

    No, at least 4 others agree with you. Original paint is under the wrap and original wheels are still here if you want that upmarket look.

    Stickers have come off, colour is staying. Car was unbelievable on the mountain roads. The Ohlins/Alcon setup just inspired confidence at every bend.
