Yes I've got them fitted with the BTB exhaust and they work fine, as they are solid rubber with 5 holes in they may transmit a little bit more noise into the car, the lads at BTB and Birchdown were impressed with them, this is on a 172 Cup. Regards Russ............

I was speaking to Colin ( Shiftspark) and will be fitting the Quaife as I'd said before in the Pug it gained me on average 3 seconds on the tighter sprint/ hillclimb events, with the Clio the cost is a big factor but the gains are worth it for competition or big power hikes, I'd say Gripper for...

Cheers just purchased a set, to good an offer not to. Regards Russ.............

Nice one, the black and white footage looks so much better than the colour, don't own a bike and never will but like to watch them race the TT and Moto GP, good to see someone who's doing something a little different. Regards Russ.............

I could'nt say TBH as they have been gone a long while, I think the original problem was it became that busy they could'nt cope with demand. Regards Russ..............

As said nothing new and a great idea, had this in Higher Openshaw Manchester in the mid 80's they had 6 ramps and 2 spray bays with mechanics and sprayers available if you needed them for a little extra cost, used to take the MK1/2 Escort there. Regards Russ........

Yes I'm interested, put me down for one. Regards Russ............

I'm not to sure but could it be the old FBW connections from the old throttle body. Regards Russ.............

LOL yes when I was younger, but do I produce any more power or is it just easier to do, I'm possibly looking at this wrong, but you still have the same rpm,air, fuel going in , so a lightened flywheel will produce more power? where does the extra 7 or 10 HP come from you see on some RR graphs...

When you remove the AC, PAS etc how does this gain you more power? I understand it'll reduce the load the engine has to move, but does'nt this just mean this power is alowed to get to the wheels as you are reducing any losses, similar to fitting a lightened flywheel? so if it makes 170hp on the...

PMSL at this, do you think he's been able to get a pair of trainers with an extra thumb in the foot.

^^^^Sorry but this made me PMSL Regards Russ.........

Can I ask a question, is that the kit they supply in the photo in the link? as I thought the B14's were coil over with helpers either 2"or 2-1/4" or is that e generic picture. Regards Russ............

These are an E marked tyre marked in accordance with regs 30,30.1 30.2 or EC Directive 92/93 and are like any other rd going tyre, I don't think they are a dedicated track tyre like the 1B tyres which are basicaly cut slicks in most cases, it was the way the tread has been cut in these tyres is...

^^^ Nice one, they don't have an asterisk next to them either so they will be available for next season, what's the tread pattern is it as the picture? will be getting a set end of season with new wheels when I can find what I want in 15"s. How's the other things going email or pm us with an...

134 Sprintcup

I'm glad to read this as well, that would make me the young pup of the oldies forum. Regards Russ............

Yes they are road legal, they are listed in 1a in the MSA Blue Book which are all the listed tyres for the rd going classes. Regards Russ........

I'm 51 must be the oldest on this or any forum, but always been a petrol head/ motorsport fan, I always say advise once and then let them learn by their own mistakes,I don't work on the car any more except the small jobs, oil change keep it clean, I use it for what it was intended for, bean...

I've taken mine back along with one from another trader on this site ended up with 2 sets the bolts are to short I watched the lads at BTB fit the exhaust and TBH doing it with 3 of them and using the proper Renault kit looked a real ar*e ache One held the Cat and down pipe in the correct...

I'd say don't put any pre load on the drop links, tighten them up by hand and then add half a turn with the spanner and then lock it all up. Try this and then have a play, unless instructions say other. Regards Russ...........

I assume the throttle is open as well, just wondering how you comp check FBW throttles, still this won't cause the above. Regards Russ........

I think you may find Group N cams are a standard profile just machined to the limits to guarantee a standard duration to run in the Group N class. Regards Russ...........

Hello all The results look a little dissapointing, but the pickup and the way the car drives has definatly changed for the better, torque started well low down and for some reason drops back off but is smoother,the same with power it also does the same higher up as well, gained 1BHP at peak, I...

Yes it was mine, search JC5 172 Cup Gearbox final drive, they are all listed by Shiftspark. Regards Russ...............

Just all of the above, had mine fitted last week on the 172 using the 182 cat, don't bother with the sports cat. Regards Russ...........

I did have similar problems with mine and it was the brakes pads, they would free up and then bind causing the car to pull left and right on rough rds, try finding quiet smooth rd and drive along at 20mph and loosen your grip on the wheel slightly and brake and see what happens, I'd say if it...

Well the idea was to fold the rears down this then alows the access to the rear bar, if it's not possible then I'll have to bolt them between the bench rear seat at the joint, did this in the 205 no problem, it's just not an ideal angle for the Harness straps to run at. Regards Russ...........

I may have not explained it to well, I want to know if there is a plate available for strengthening the top mounts, ie made of 6mm gauge plate where you would possibly mount a weld in cage to for circuit racing/rallying, I'm sure Yozza sport did something but it was weld in. J I not that...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company that supplies rear strut top plates to strengthen the strut top mounts, I've read on the Yozza site they used to do this mod for mounting the belts at the correct angle, I'd like to do something similar but can't weld the plates they can only be bolted...
