Hello dan90 do you want to do a deal on my old suspension then? swap your Cup drive shafts for my OE suspension to keep it a rolling shell, you can sell the coil overs on, it comes with the top mounts as well.

Competition Car Suspension by Alan Staniforth, I bought this years ago so I think it's been revised a few time, look on D Tweeks as well there's a few listed.

Great video with some awesome cars, speed of that last car num 70 at 18.40 was 234kph:eek:, it would be great to see this on closed UK rd's but can't see it happening any time soon, some great Uk rd's I can think of they could use as I've rode my push bike up most, the problem is having the...
That's gunna be quick, and it'll pass an MOT as well won't it, ie on Emissions, is this a Rally spec engine? great result well done Fred.
Regards Russ......
It's good to see you try something different, but I'd always look at what the front running cars are doing, ie how Tony and Jay set their car up and what tyres they use etc.
Enjoyed reading the thread as well, good luck next season.

Could anyone recommend the best products for keeping the cars interior upholstery clean and is easy to use, It's for the Clio Cup and the works van, that would be carpets, cloth seats, and plastic trim, glass etc.
It needs to be easy to use and idealy not something that's wet when applied and...
As stated you can still do and watch Autotests, great skills when you see it done by these drivers, this is what I did as my first competative event many years ago, I made the mistake of using the tyres I drove to the event on, they were bald and down to the metal after 3 runs lol major brain...
Just great to watch, love the skill these drivers have, you'll have to type this in your search as I don't know how to link direct.

Yes we can run bonnet pins, the issue seams to be removing any parts from the under the bonnet area, I'll have to have a few words with the scruts and see what can & can't be done.
That's a shame it would have been good to go out in that car for a comparison, I'm just awaiting the diff and fd...
Great result Dan, are you running the 182 exhaust manifold as well?
Now you just need to work out a way for me to get that all inside the OE slam panel;) You'll have to take me out for a run in it when I call down for you to look at mine.
Regards Russ...........
Yes sorry about that, the polly windows was in ref to the OP Andycollins, I wouldn't bother with the strut brace tbh as the OMP ones are tied in with self tappers and do nothing in my opinion, the front turret uprights are solid enough and theres no flex on a rd car.
Regards Russ...........
You'll not be able to fit the spherical bearing top mounts only OE top mounts, but the rest is ok if your running in Class 1B 1400-2000, you may have a problem with the pollycarb windows unless they are just the rear quarters as your standard windows must be fully functional, electric or...
Hello great way to do it, start him as young as you can.
Try Colin acca ( Shiftspark ) he has a cup box along with a Quaife ATB diff send him a PM, give Martin at Agency Transmisions a call as I think he can do the 13/59 final drives, this would reduce your final drive by 10%, he said he...
My reply was based on the one I drove, so yes your probably correct not completly useless, would need to drive a car with the same set up that was correctly mapped and set up.
Regards Russ............
If your retaining the OE bonnet lock I wouldn't bother with ITB's, you need to remove the bonnet lock slam panel to run a good length trumpet.
Regards Russ.....
Keep us updated on these as I'd be interested, need to be able to drive on the rd, I'm cuurrently running B14's which are great on the fast sweeping bends but have a problem with hitting the inner arches at the fronts on hard turn in, a little to soft tbh.
Regards Russ...
For me on suspension your always best changing both of any, springs, shocks, top mounts, but shouldn't be a problem tbh, depends on the cars history and mileage.
Regards Russ.........
I would'nt bother, I've got the S2000 single AT TB and that works fine but it was to get rid of the Drive By Wire OE unit, it's 64mm and is for future mods but the standard TB is fine, you'll find the throttle very sensative on small pedal movements low down,this suits me as I use the car for...
Don't be doing a Mike Jordan on us, loosing the fast lads gives us allso-rans a chance of glory, a couple of them have said they won't be coming back as the cost against track time is'nt worth it, they may do the odd one off event.
Again well done both of you and your support team.
Regards...
Great result lads and well deserved, onwards and upwards.
I think half the North West sprint lads are running next year, theres no-one left to run against lol.
Regards Russ......
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Great read James just read and watched it all, good luck next season, just get it all reliable the rest will fall into place.

Hello Nick,
Yes I type about as quick as I drive that would take me all day lol, you'll find some questionble cars at all events, some are but some have quick drivers in them, I changed my car into 1b as sonn as the BTB exhaust went on, others will wait untill they get questioned, I'd just say...
