No problem TDF, I should'nt need to to look and check when someone has charged me to do that work, so I asked Dan to have a look at the inlets after all the other threads people had posted, just to add the Bushes were not done by TDF ok and not by me. It's my own fault and I should know better...

Ha ha what can I say Dan top job mate as always;) and thanks for running me to the B&B and collecting me agaian this morning, with respect to the inlets again no comment I think we all know enough to stay well clear of this character (BS) merchant, I'll post a proper reply on your feed back...

You'll be very happy with the results , Scoff sorted my problems out with cold start and found the reason it would'nt pass emmisions, he's top man in my books and looks after an R5 I compete against. Regards Russ.......

I'm having a new box fitted Thurs/Fri and it'll be at Dan 519's if your interested, looking for £150, from a 172 Cup on 58,000, wine in 5th gear and the odd crunch from 2nd/3rd, was looking to keep as a spare but the cash would be handy, could be driven in the car if you could get there Thurs to...

I'm hoping to fit these this season as all the quick lads are using them in sprints, I'm just waiting for the T1R's to come to the end of their life as I don't like them in the wet, would fit on the 16's but they cost a fortune and i had 2 new AD08's given to me but in 15's, are the side walls...

Could be a leaking shock absorber or mis-matched springs/shocks etc. Regards Russ........

I driven his car and tbh was impressed with how it pulled through out the rev range, it honestley felt quicker than my car empty, and that was with all his gear in and 2 spare wheels in the back, I'm running a TDF ecu and S2000 single throttle on a standard engine, but we may be able to compare...

I've only ever had one set of pads fade and these were OE fitment on the 205 after 8 quick laps of Anglesey on the old circuit at a track day, I need to try harder! Regards Russ.......

This is a concern as I drive to all my events, I run a BTB Stealth with 182 Cat and both silencers fitted and it puts out 89db at 4500rpm, I'm insured with REIS and the car is declared as a Rd Going competition car running in Class 1B, I only inform them of changes if I move out of the class...

Your car has a nice spec and looks very good, what kind of competitions do you enter as it looks like a sprint event? Regards Russ...........

Totaly agree, I could probably fit and take a chance,but I won't because that's how it starts, but I'll ask the question. I'm hoping this becomes a good suspension set up thread as there are some clever people on the forum. Can I ask if the Cup racers fitted Teflon bushes in the rear beam or...

Cheers Dan, But this is what has killed the 1B class in sprint/ hillclimbing, instead of allowing a few mods everything became extreme, strut brace fixed spherical bearing top mounts and a few camber adjustments etc or as above, you were competing against people in Touring cars spec, and...

I think they are doing a kit without sperical bearing, why would there be a problem? you've not sold your car and become a scrutineer have you?

Great progress James, looking foreward to the next update, 2 weekends/ghosters should do it for the rebuild. Regards Russ...........

Cars looking well, are all your mods done ready for the 2013 season? I've seen a couple of the Cups with the green wheels recently looks nice. Regards Russ.......

Hope this becomes a good thread on suspension set up as for me this is when you get the big gains on these cars. I'll await your test results and you can use my car as a ginny pig if needed^^^^;) I'd like to ask if you think the OE top mounts will let this mod down in anyway, as again I have to...

Off topic, I hope you'll be able to do a version for the Cup without the sperical bearing if that's possible as it's not allowed in the class I run in, but would like to fit this kit to mine. Regards Russ...........

To the OP great result, your happy forget the negative quotes, it's how it drives that counts, would be good to have a go in one of these cars to compare tbh. Regards Russ.......

Is there much difference between DBW and cable throttle with the problematic delay you get on DBW, looking at the results I'd say they are great for a road car and a blast on a track day. Regards Russ....

That's not good for any car tbh, it won't do your 1st gear synchro any good, just dip the clutch and select 1st once you stop. Regards Russ........

Great photo, pity it wasn't the last stage, that'll need detailing again.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'll be looking foreward to the incar with the new engine in, good luck with 2013 Regards Russ........

Have a great New year , look foreward to your 1st event, and a great write up as stated above. Regards Russ.......

Thanks for that people, looks ilke a Momo from Tweaks, just one last thing? do these come with the fixing bolts for the wheel or are they an "added" extra as they are 6 bolt pattern. Thanks to admin for putting this in the correct Thread I wasn't sure tbh. Regards Russ......

Hello all, Just wondering which is the best boss for attatching the Renaultsport steering wheel and who did you buy it from, it's for a 2003 Clio 172Cup. Regards Russ.....

:rolleyes: I give up^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You could try one of those cheap Arials from the pound shop that has a magnet on the end if you don't want to seperate, I use this all the time at work but you may need something a bit more flexible with a magnet on the end.

Your just loosing surface area and as you said they will crack, rd use the Brembos are fine, I run Mintex M1155 + Brembo HC with standard rear pads discs, and Goodridge stainless hoses and descent Dot 4 Super Blue fluid. Regards Russ.......

So how much did they pay you to take it lol, looks like a plasterer or a painter and decorators had that. Regards Russ.................

That's commitment for you^^^^^^^ Regards Russ...........

Goodridge Stainless brake hose's and a refurbed gearbox/ New Gripper and CWP.I'm skint lol. Russ.....
