Yes they are very wide, the 4100 are a lot thinner. Did you go for the 4100 or 5100 Martin?

The inner metal sleeves was original, these just slide inside the older spax rubber bushes. The newer Spax rear metal sleeves was 1mm wider than the oem/ast so these would have rattled. Spring rates are in trial and development stages at the mo ;) but they will be a race rate as this car will...

Yep, with Le Frogs now...maybe he will set up and call himself "Le Code Rouge" lol

Few pics from Snetterton 200

Yes, impressed with everything about them to be honest, can just stare at them all day as the craftsmanship is spot on. I'm hoping I can do a test day before Silverstone

Good call. Will no doubt be using them soon as CodeRed who refurbed my gear box no longer trade any more :(

Well....this happened today :rasp: 5100, with top mounts and custom springs These served me well.....:dead: What do most ppl use for the rear rubber bushes, do you use the oem ones? Im using a spare set of the Spax uprated ones, will these be ok?

Nice one buddy, do you do the box work yourself?

Great write up, glad you got out on track in the end mate.

A track day suspension set up that you cant use on track days

Yep as above, go to DT first.

I think they are the same as the Dynalite calipers. I will check for you this week.

Surprised they don't come with uprated rubber bushes. I have some spare from my Spax kit that I will use.

Well if they wont honour the warranty to be used with solid top mounts there will be a lot of p*ssed off customers in the 750mc Clio 182 race series who use this set up. Spax will do anything to worm their way out of paying, and i will say this on an open forum after having dealt with them myself.

Awesome, looks fun

Yes Pete, just a bit, bloody right hand brake locked up unsettling the car. Yep, in hindsight i wished I uprated the front springs now but didn't want to waste any more money on that suspension set up.

Likewise mate, thanks for coming over to say Hi, sorry I was sidetracked with the geo set up

Its wasnt warped discs, it was uneven pad deposits welded into the discs due to not bedding the pads in correctly. I rusted the discs up and stuck them on a lave to get the deposits out with emery paper and still no joy, looks like they need to be skimmed to remove the crud.

Porkie so you did fella, but you know what its like when you try to trial and develop stuff.

RACE REPORT: Snetterton 2014 Had a week off work, so had plenty of time to prep the car for the race at Snett. Went for a new set of front tyres (R888 195/5015s) New HC front brake discs and new Ferodo DS1.11 pads (Thanks George), Fitted all this alone with a new Skoda front splitter as my OEM...

Whats all this talk of giving up? Dont be silly. I really hope you get this sorted Tony.

Excellent. Wish I went go Karting when i was a kid

Cheers :)

Only problem is that the bumper protrudes to far, and has to be removed, the gauges was on full extension too. They're a good bit of kit though.

I will be doing tracking prior, however it would be handy mate just in case :) Iv swapped my front tow eyed to make removing the pumper quicker.

Update: While the Snetterton race is just over a week away I finally had a bit of time to work on the Clio. I fitted 2 new inner tie rods as the old ones was pretty shot, I manage to change out the rods using a 32mm fan spanner. 2 x new R888 ordered for the fronts, new HC brake discs and...

My bet its the crank end cap behind the flywheel, this tends to leak a lot. Also the dephaser solenoid seal can leak causing it to run down back of engine and accumulated on top of the sump join area (you will see oil collecting on top of the cam cover). All this is from personal experience. No...

Hows the car mate? Matt did your engine didn't he? I saw a few pics a while back, looked very spot on.

Cheers mate. P.s I hate Croydon :/

Thanks, but Croydon thats the badlands... Better be worth the trip in lol
