Same one that attends Aintree I think, looks the part but ain't all that quick if it's the same one?

We're flaming the OP, he's only 17 so it's his baptism of fire to the CS community.

C'mon guys, the OP has been 'flamed' enough :tongueclosed:

Fair play.

You're making braided lines yourself?

All depends on your budget mate, I've got Corbeau Clubsports and they're great for £190 with sliders.

Yep Clio turbo is the way to go for the fun factor @Christ Almighty is selling a belter I think.

I got my OE cup packed front dampers from EBay for £79 from Renault Wolverhampton, not sure on the 172cup but should be similar priced. Think the rears where around £60. I coupled these to AMAX (APEX) springs from ECP.

Honesty mate, just pay the extra £166 and get the BC BR's with adjustable solid top mounts from Kamracing. As @JamesBryan said the RSX kits have really soft springs for a track car.

PMS shifter kit or Yanoo stiff shift and short shifter kit you want for the JC5 mate.

Standard CS! Instant regret selling Clio, buys Megane, sells Megane, buys Clio and starts from scratch.

Can't go wrong with Osram Nightbreakers, got mine from ECP.

If like a 1*2 you should just be able to tighten the handbrake cable from underneath as they stretch over time, or maybe the cable has actually snapped to the O/S?

What spring rates did you go with?

Nice! Can't wait to get set of these.

How do you adjust the damping? Or are they just height adjustable?

Just received notification that the Mintex M1155 pads will be with me tomorrow, so will let you know how they compare to CL5+ and DS2500 as I've used both on track. All 3 have a very similar coefficient so will be interesting if they're as good at near half the price.

Not necessarily, especially with a makeshift heat shield.

As above check the servo vacuum pipe, they can melt if the engine is left long enough idling. The rear locking up sounds like the ABS system has a fault as it reverts to 50/50 leading to the rears locking under hard braking, but you'd probably get a load of dash lights if so.

I've just purchased these Mintex M1155's pads for £70. Not received them yet as lead time is around 30 days but they will do a job for you mate if you can wait the 30 days. Standard discs are fine as long as not cheapo ones and past there best. Fluid most, inc myself go for ATE TYP200, 1L should...

I've used Gary as well, seems a top guy and knows his stuff.

Looking good, any pics of the rears?

Wouldn't bother with 4 pots mate, been there done that and they're total overkill for a part time track car. Spend the cash on something like Bilsteins or BC's instead.

AMG hurst

Good video, bit to many subtitles though. Sometimes better to let the video do the talking. That EG :smilingimp:

Can't wait, just saving for a deposit on our first house so not allowed to buy them yet, booooo!

I'm not so bad with it at lower speed corners but at 100mph I shat myself, lol. Must keep my foot planted!

Lively is definitely not for me, I had a 'lively' moment going through Island bend last time out at Oulton, I was like a granny through there the rest of the day, losing 2s a lap over last time out. I blame the rear cage for stiffening the chassis up :grin:.

Back on spring rates, just doing a bit of reading at its a mine field. Some say you want stiffer rates at the rear on a fwd car so weight isn't transferred backward losing front end grip, which makes sense. Whereas others say stiffer rates at the front. I know this varies form car to car, but...

AST's are not an option for me really unless a decent used set come up, I cant justify spending the same on coilovers as to what the car is worth. I don't do enough track days either. BC's will feel like a huge step up for me currently running budget ECP springs and OE dampers.
