Cheers mate, ye he's top bloke, kept me in check a lot, I loved the bit where is said ' when your ready to listen Andrew' haha

Ye pretty much a lake either side of it, lol,it's the mud plus the ice that mad it mental, had to back off loads

Incar of the first 2 stages from pembrey. sorry about the colorful language lol http://youtu.be/5Y0O3o7gVM4

Hey Steve how you getting on with this? Also a bit off topic , hope you don't mind, but I noticed you put up a thread on the British rally forum regarding box oil, I'm in the same predicament, don't no weather to go with the redline or the motul competition 75/140, I'm currently using the...

Sorry for not having any updates lately been so busy getting the car ready and family just haven't had chance. Well I finally got the car finished and log booked just before Christmas, so decided to entry the pembrey Xmas stages. First stages was really slippery and covered in ice, I spun twice...

Cheers Ian, ye I finally took the plunge and entered lol doesn't look like the weather is going to be up to much tho!ha Shame to hear your selling the clio, but what a car to replace it with! Looks stunning, I bet that's a flyer!!

I'll would be very interested In this :)

No his name is Neil. I was going to buy the 3.8 off him until I found a shorter one from France for much cheaper :)

Ye I've never heard of gripper doing st75 final drive, but I may be wrong, plus if your after a 3.8 I may no some one up in Scotland that has one, he fitted one of these boxes to a corsa rally car and swapped the final drive, I could find out for you if you like?

Ye there was 2 main factors that cause my box to sh*t itself!ha one was there was wear to one of the dog ring gears which meant who ever put it together decided the best thing to do was not to tighten the nut on the end of the pinion to correct torque to stop it looking up a gear on the shaft...

Very nice! Best thing I ever bought for my car was one of those, Just strip it down first and double check it, after the nightmare I had, I wouldn't wish that on anybody! You keeping the ratios? very long final drive in clio cup boxes, might be worth changing to something a bit shorter like in...

You put entree in for pembrey? Didn't think you where doing single venues anymore ;) I've put entree in but I'm 3rd reserve so hopefully I'll get a spin!!

Is it Hargreaves by any chance?

I'm more curious to why they bolted the throttle bodies to the lower inlet rather than the head?! Surely there isn't any gain to it?

Nope just a clio cup racer with s1600 kit

http://youtu.be/sosueRH93e8 found this cup racer with bodies on YouTube, anyone seen it done this way before???

I mean the same bell housing as the st75-14 on the clio 2 cups, same as mine, because you can get them from Rsport I think. If you sell yours compete you'd could buy the r3 maxi kit and convert the 197 :)

Bloody hell Ian, that box is going to cost a fair bit I imagine? Wouldn't a st75-14 be able to handle the power of the f3 engine? Will you need a have a custom bell housing or could you use the same one as the European spec clio cup racers? fair play tho it's going to be a weapon when...

Ye that's him :) he had the Clio cup racer converted for stages, wasn't aware he had split the car tho

That's a barging! The crank is worth that alone! I was just worried about the damage to head, it would need nearly 2 grand spent on it to repair,

Nice engine there ian,I looked at buying this a few weeks ago but didnt have the cash to repair it, I did manage to find a similar engine from a f3 car which was complete and recently rebuilt for 5000euros so may look into that in the near future. Are you going to run the dry sump?

Mines the same too, even with the adjustable wishbones and full geo setup by pms. but the car had been in a smash before i bought it. I did put it on the jig when putting the cage in so I know the car is straight?!

it weighs 6.9 kg

Sorry I didn't get chance today, but I'll definitely do it tomorrow

Haha

I've got one fitted, and tbh they aren't that heavy and give extra strength to the subframe too, much more than I Kevlar one, I would of thought. Ill take mine off tomorrow and stick in on the scales for you

Nice to see another clio rally car in wales :) be keeping a eye on this one!

I bet it was scary! I'll have to dig around for that video. Can't be bad having coco cola as a sponsor. Pocket change to them!lol

Whoops! I bet that was expensive! not very strong boxes then tony?
