Yes I am!

Cheers dude! Its amazing how a different set of wheels and some lows transformed it. I'd like to do a bit more weight saving to it such as polycarb windows, carbon bonnet and lithium battery but that's a lot of outlay on about 40kg of weight saving. Instead I'm looking at going halves with a...

Thanks for clearing that up :) Just need to find a rear one that fits, might be able to tweak a 250/275 superpro one to fit.

After breaking my Clio, and the other Clio I got to replace the first Clio... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/itbd-road-track-ph1-titanium-172.682060/ ...I needed a new track day car that was more suited to dual duty in hauling a family around with me for days out etc. So it needed to be as...

Nice to see its alive again!

The one at the track was done by Severn Motorsport iirc

Quite like these. There was a boosted one at an Oulton Park trackday I did a while back and it was easily the quickest thing there tbf.

I was hoping to do CSS but it clashes with some family stuff so it's unlikely.

The recommended 450/450 setup. But I've got an uprated front ARB to fit...at least I hope it fits, it should in theory! Breaking boundaries never before attempted I opted for the double digressive pistons, Curtis hadn't tried them on a Meg before so they're a trial set really. It'll be...

What spring rates have you gone for cubby bear? I've got my ASTs fitted to the new car. I'll be at the Oulton Rs day in that. Curtis got them to me in 6 weeks, they came from Holland so pretty good service really.

lol! Rides the TT but has no bike licence...I'd never have thought that!

Another guy I work with has a thunderace tuned to 194bhp at the rear wheel. He's running aftermarket management and has a tilt sensor fitted which retards spark based on the angle of the bike. So you can whack the throttle open and it won't go beyond a set angle.

A guy in work has not long got one and is off all week enjoying it. Mentalist!

Cool project! It seems to go well.

So many lovely cars! Why do a lot of the BMWs have the bonnets open so you can see all the plastic covers?

Yes it'll be bottoming out. May as well fit a cup one, you'll get a little more camber from it as the holes sit further out.

Ph1 21mm land on wishbone mounts, Ph2 16mm, cup 11mm. Cup shafts are the same length as the normal ph2 shafts but are one piece instead of equal length. Ph1 are 20mm shorter and one piece. Tie rods are different too, cup ones are 15mm longer, all the others are the same. Cup wishbones have...

It is more than likely due to the rod bolts. They're a known weak point.

I noticed it packing it but as you say they are both identical. I didn't look at it in the car so I assumed they were profiled. It looks like they're intended to be that way.

Also the windscreen on my cup was brand new last year. Or I have a reflective one on my Ph1

I have a fibreglass boot, door and a full set of polycarb windows :)

:cool:Cool! Glad you've got them now. I left the end of the linkage connected to the box so if you don't touch anything and just connect the rod with the nut and bolt it should be pretty much spot on. The only PITA is adjusting the heatshield under the car. I found it use to knock the...

Oh my! Not long now!

Lovely car! I really wish I lived closer to work so I didn't need a nice commuter car as well a second fun car. Then I'd have one of these in a heartbeat.

Glad you're happy with it. It's quieter in the car because it's not a stealth exhaust. The stealth ones just reverberate behind the bumper and the sound comes into the cabin.

All you can do is take it out and fit a new one anyway.

Doesn't look like its on 100% true, looks like its pushed on a bit more at the top than the bottom.

Very nice, I'd have gone for one of these if I didn't already have a Mk3 Megane (only a 1.5dci). Even that's fun to drive!

Cooksports, end thread.

In that case non-intercooled setups would stop turning the boost up on the day. So that's that dispute sorted. And Russ, your figures are very similar to James's but you have less weight to worry about. So not only does it benefit you in terms of handling you also have more bhp and torque per...
