    Larger final drive ratio

    similar to using a long first however not quite the same . what you really need to do is play with a ratio calculator and look at power and max revs and sit down and work it all out . the trouble with a clio is your most likely restricted in what ratios are available .

    Larger final drive ratio

    if you build a car right , you would up the final drive to lower top speed and therefore make acceleration quicker , however you nearly always (or i have on track cars) have a long first gear fitted , as first on track most of the time is never ever used.

    Advice Needed

    Can i try and say this in the nicest way and please dont take offence but my best advice would be book a track day on a decent circuit, and have as many sessions with an instructor as you can. If you can afford a whole day with one then 90% of the issues you are suffering can be ironed out by...

    Advice Needed

    Sticking on a set of 888's and the stiffer sidewalls will help hugely But your problem will still be a soft setup As a fast road setup what you have is good but for track work it really wont be great

    Advice Needed

    several things . Cooksports are too soft for track work . road tyres are too soft for track work combined to being on a tight track as teeside is a kart track and you being (with all due respect and your own admission) a newbie , it has understeer written all over it . the chances are you...

    Where to buy fully slick tyres?

    Hummm Find a decent supply , of a known slick in 15" sizing first. Look for blueing and graining on the surfaces as thats not great Look at the depth holes to see they have not had the edges run due to lots of camber. Get a shore gauge to match up sets by hardness as the team will maybe not...

    Tie rods bottoming out adjusting toe

    And right there is where what you have said leads me to think you dont understand...... Toe in would promote understeer and reduce straight line speed.(marginally) If you had 2 drivers who have differing styles i would set it up with near neutral toe . The other question is you say you want...

    Tie rods bottoming out adjusting toe

    and that 14 mins of toe out will be total ... which is 7 per side !! (or is it !! ) Things really need to be clearly stated , as misinterpretations can make huge differences.

    Tie rods bottoming out adjusting toe

    There seems to either be some confusion in what they are telling you , or confusion in what you are understanding . If you have struggled in the past getting Geo setup i am going to guess that your understanding is limited . It may be a good idea to understand a few answers to some basic geo...
