TBH I was not sure what to get so asked what he thought and that is what he suggested, anyway that can be sorted later on if it does not feel right but it is the back what I am unsure of what to do. What toe setting would be good for the back?

not been used on track yet so can not comment but it has RSR's on and from what I have read they like more camber.

Had the alignment done today, I would have liked more camber but that was the max the bolts would allow. What suggestions would you have for the rear, is it worth shimming and would more camber be beneficial? It is a track car only being driven to and from track

I am not sure if I should get some polycarbonate windows for the front. I have spoken to a few people with them and get mixed views some say they are way too hot and don't let enough air in and others say they are fine, and there is also the issue of margard or not. My car is not a daily it will...

Did mine last weekend, I ended up getting mine from Adam at Renault Wolverhampton only £40 a side, I was going to get the first line ones but they had to order them in they was about £20 per side but for an extra £40 I have better quality components i made a tool and it was easy but without it...

It is far enough away from the tyre so it will not catch

No spreader plate, as you say it is the cage foot then the wheel arch and then the fixing plate inside the arch with the nuts towards the wheel. The feet on the cage will form to the arch shape when tightened up.

Well I changed the inner tie rods today with the new tool (tube one) and it was so easy took about 5 mins to remove old one then refit the new one, the hardest part was refitting the rubber boot, well worth the effort making it.

I have searched but cant find anything, has anyone moved the carbon canister to allow brake cooling, if so do you have any photos of where you moved it to? I don't want to remove it because of lights coming on and it possibly causing problems.

I've got a 1/2 drive torque wrench from Lidl must of had it about 6-7 years now and it has been fine I don't worry too much about the higher torque setting if it is a little out but for the lower end I got one of the Teng tools 1/4 drive one as I don't want to be stripping any threads.

I had standard Renault DOT 4 in my 250 and did a track day, afterwards my brakes was not great so I had thought I had boiled my fluid so got it changed and they were still the same (so the fluid was fine) I turned out to be the pads. So unless you are doing long stints it is probably fine but it...

I will be replacing my ball joints in a few weeks and don't have a splitter. which type is best to use the fork or ones with the screw also I notice the fork ones seem to come in different sizes seen these two are they any good...

Thanks for the comments on the welding.:D I enjoy doing TIG (no splatter burning your head lol) but I don't really do enough of it and all self taught.

Thanks, as said this was free and about 1 1/2 of my time, anyone can gout and buy something but you don't get the satisfaction of making it myself . that £30 saving means more beer for me tomorrow :D

As I will be changing my inner tie rods in a few weeks I decided to make some tools as I did not want to spend money on tools that will only be used once or twice, or be struggling for a few hours. First is a old machine spanner that I cut the end off and as it was too big I welded one jaw and...

I went here https://sslrelay.com/scamotorsport.co.uk.scamotorsport.com/shop/service/contact?sessid=owJ0SNIM9cfx9E1Rg4ow3Z6DqUmx7bKAvVEwEWShOxVOcnP9NMy4tIeedrht5wDZ&shop_param= to try them out last year, probably a bit closer to you as well.

yeah he was pushing as you can tell from the car, just before the top pic was taken the bonnet decided it did not like being attached to the car with duck tape lol. The Proton does sound nice though

Here are a few photos from yesterdays rally at Epynt. Weather was awesome and it was a good day except for two bad crashes that needed two air ambulances, I heard today from a customer at work that one was his mate in a Darrian and he had to be cut out and he has a lot of injuries but should be...

No problem, I did not have time this week to make anything anyway

That would be great if you could

sorry for the crappy paint drawing but this is what I am planning on making. it will be a Tube approx 400mm long with a 1/2 inch drive socket welded into the one end and the other end will be a piece of steel welded onto the tube with a bored out hole slightly larger than the ball joint housing...

anyone? I only need a rough measurement

It's normal mate once you have the bolts in and tightened them up they will pull themselves to the shape of the wheel arch (no welding needed on the rear arch mounting points)

you could put some gauges in the space of the headunit, a couple of people on here have done that, putting electric window switches there is a good idea if you get it sorted do a guide as I looked at moving them but thought it was going to be a lot of hassle.

I left my door speakers in because I have got to drive it to the track, but if it was a track only (trailered car) I would remove everything stereo and all speakers it is not like you are going to listen to the radio while you are going round a track.

I have got some new track rod ends and bottom ball joints but thought while I am doing them may as well change the inner tie rod at the same time. I have read it can be a pain to get to to undo it so I have decided to make a tool (like the ones that slide over the rod). Does anyone know the...

according to Federal 195's should be fitted to 5.5-6.5 wheels http://www.federaltire.com/download/spec595RS-R.pdf

That's why I saved it.:)

I e-mailed VOSA to ask about modified vehicles for track use I had this reply. Thank you for your e-mail enquiry dated 12th August 2013, concerning MOT. We are aware that the inspection of many of the new testable components may adversely impact modified vehicles. We have therefore made...
