Yeah thought as much, cheers mate. Looks like I'll go with my original plan of lifting the front end using a few mates and slide the engine and box out, lol.
Not got a crane to pull from the top, CBA with the hassle of pulling apart the box from underneath on stands, to pull through the passenger side arch so was going to remove the front end and pull it that way. Question, is all the front end like the crash bar etc bolt in or is stuff welded in...
Mapped the Mondeo ST derv, ready for its first outing on track in May. Got Eibach springs, Stoptech pads and PS4 tyres to throw on as well. Should be half capable now at Aintree....for a diesel barge :grin:
Cool. EPAS is a good mod for track, bit weird at first but once you get the settings right it decent. Need to pull mine off my breaking FF which I'm dreading, as i aint got a clue, lol.
You hoping for sub 2 minutes then? Was there when you were getting 2:04s and you seemed like you had a bit more in you then. You lost a second or two messing with your harness belts, lol.
Just get some quality runners as the ones that come on the Clubsports are utter tosh, yeah you'll have them in a fixed position due to the door bar, whatever that is? but they wont move around like the Clubsport ones. Remember you can lower and higher via the side mounts as well...
Owned cars with both engines and personally prefer the Honda unit, both have pro's and cons's but either will do the trick nicely. So tempted by one of these now the Clio is scrap.
Had the Nero's on the 16" cup wheels and didn't rate them one bit, average in the dry and poor in the wet. The Rainsport is a better tyre but wear fast, Avon ZV7 get good reviews as do the Kumho KU39 which I can vouch for on the CTR I had. If premium I'd go with the Conti or the F1's, the PS3's...
Bring it around to mine over the weekend mate and I'll have a look for you, there's not much it can be on the rear. Ive also got 2 newish exhaust hangers from my titanium 182 FF I'm breaking you could try.
For reference mate I just sold a set of 15" OZ F1's with AD08R's with 7-8mm on for £300, wouldn't recommend the Yoko's for track work mind but you get the gist regarding cost of 15" wheels and tyres.
Bin the DS2500, and just go straight to DS1.11 as they last twice as long as CL RC5+, Mintex 1155, DS2500/3000 etc and they have the best progressive pedal of any pad I've used and I've used most track pads for the Clio. Then a used set of r888's and your good to go as long as everything else is...
All depends how old and how many miles they've covered mate, which is pretty much impossible to find out. Me personally would go this route if on a budget and did for around a year and had no complaints what so ever, contrary to what people claim about the springs...
Does sound damper/spring related, my advice pull them off and change to new OE dampers and Eibach springs and the difference will be night and day compared to those budget coilovers.
Yeah the guy who's e92 335d I was test driving was talking about this tech for the ZF as he could see how frustrated I was getting with it in either mode, sluggish in D and too jumpy in Sport. Good to see its actually a decent upgrade. :up:
