Please don't judge :ROFLMAO:. This is my very temporary setup while I get the height and positions correct. I'm just bolting sections of ply into different locations so I know where I want everything when I make something better..

I set up the webcam head tracking yesterday to help with the limitation of having a single 16:9 monitor. It’s a big help but I’m wondering if triples or ultra wide is the way to go? And if I go ultrawide, should it be curved?

I've been doing hot laps around Nurburgring GP over the weekend to get familiar with it it on ACC. I then did a couple of races against AI to increase my safety rating (still learning what all that means) and it was really enjoyable. I started in second and finished fourth but it felt like a...

Well I am truly awful at this so far. Any tips for getting better? At the moment all I’m doing is hot laps around random tracks on AC, but it all feels a little empty. What would you recommend doing to improve? And is there a more social game mode for noobs? I didn’t want to race online and...

What's everyone playing in 2024? I'm picking up a second hand T500RS, T3PA pedals and TH8A shifter tomorrow but it's been 10 years since I've done any sim racing. I've only ever had a Logitech G25 in the past, so this is still an upgrade for me. I've got Assetto Corsa but not sure if that's...

I'm wondering if anyone can help give a rough estimate of how much my Trophy is worth? I've tried to list everything I've done to it in the last 5 years but I'm sure I've missed something. It has 101,500 miles. MOT expires 25 Feb 2025 - no current advisories. Cat D - although I have no...

I think so. I’m pretty sure the knock was there before I replaced them, so I’m hoping it isn’t that. I might order these top mounts and see if that helps at all. If not, then I’ll move on to the engine mounts.

I’m getting an annoying knocking sound when I pull off from stationary. It’s a single knock and sounds/feels like it’s coming from the front right, around the top mount. I’m thinking the issue is the top mount but I wanted to check if anyone had any other ideas? They’ve never seem to sit...

I spoke to Mark Fish earlier today and he’s still got a couple of sets available so I’m going to have one off of him. Really nice guy and seems to know a ton about these cars.

My front spring has snapped and I just wanted to confirm my assumsions are correct before I order a new set. From what I understand I can't get OEM springs as they're no longer manufasctured. The only option I can see is to get them from Mark Fish. Is this still correct? Just wanted to check...

Thanks both for the help. It just looked a little odd with the overhang. Oh and wow that’s a clean car!

Is the trophy suspension considered cup?

Hopefully I'm just being paranoid, but does this abs ring look too big? It looks to be over hanging by a couple of mm but I’m not sure if that’s normal? I measured it and it’s 16mm wide.

Thanks, I'll have a go at burning them out. I just hope all my bashing with a hammer hasn't ruined them :unsure:

Now the wishbone is out I was planning to replace them entirely with new bushes etc. I've read the OSF wishbone has been discontinued so it's either refurb mine or get some aftermarket ones. I was looking at the below. Would these be ok with one of these stiffening plates? Or should I stop being...

Reciprocating saw made easy work of the bolt. Thanks for all the help everyone 👍

Thanks for the replies everyone. Hoping to get a recip saw at the weekend and get this sorted. I've got another quick question that seemed too basic to start a new thread. Can the below be removed for access to the arb? The car is currently on axle stands and I wasn't sure if it's safe to remove...

Thanks. Never used one of these saws before, will the blade that comes with it be suitable or do I need a specific blade?

Unfortunately not. I do have a multi tool so was thinking that might do the job?

Does anyone have any tips for removing these buggers? I’ve tried everything and it just won’t budge. The inner metal of the rubber bush has seized to the bolt from what I can tell. I’m happy to take a grinder to it but I don’t have the access. Would a multi tool do the job?

Thanks. I've got some brake cleaner so I'll give it a good clean and report back when I have a better idea of where it might be leaking from. Hopefully not that many places!

I’ve had an advisory on my MOT for the last few years for an oil leak. I’m trying to locate it to fix but I’m struggling to find the source. I've cleaned up the underside the best I can in an attempt to find it so time will now tell. However, are there some common areas to investigate? I've...

Thanks. That makes sense. I did a bit of Googling and that seems to agree with what you’re saying. Phew 😂

This is almost certainly a daft question, but I’m going to ask it anyway. When my car is in gear the front wheels couldn’t spin when one side was jacked up. Now both sides are jacked up they spin, even in gear. Is that normal or have I knocked something out?

Got it, thanks (y)

I'm not sure if this is too obvious, but has my brake fluid leaked out of the bleed nipple snapped hole?

Thanks, no leaks that I can spot. I’ll probably need to replace the callipers. One of the bleed nipples has rusted off so unable to bleed it 😩

Just wondering if anyone can give me some guidance on this before I start taking the brakes off. The brakes were fine last year and I’ve not had any need to drive the car until now. The brake pedal goes hard if I pump it with the engine off. If I start the engine the pedal goes to the floor and...

Cheers, I'll check them first. Is the below correct? Would I need anything else? https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-anti-roll-bar-bush-kit/

Thanks both. I'll just replace all the bushes as I have no idea when they were last done. Any recommendations? I found the below from powerflex. https://www.powerflexsuspensionbushes.co.uk/powerflex-front-lower-wishbone-bush-pff60-301-for-renault-clio-ii-inc-172--182-1998-2012-91121-p.asp
