Of course, i have been using the trakrite toe device to workout my settings as using the strings is a pain due to driveway not being level and my garage being too tight. The rear beam is 15minutes toe out (7.5 either side), Without any shims. I take it this is the standard set up for a 172 cup?

That was just the front axle , Rear is the standard 15' axle ( think about 7.5 per side). However I think my rear beam isn't true.

I normally run 10' out per axle but decided to try 20' out per axle at Donny, at Cambe I ran 10' toe in, was actually pretty good but standing start suffered. That sounds a good set up, I ran EBC YS before but had a bad experience with them. They prob do the job on the Clio very well though...

Hmmmm interesting, the pads are DS3000 (brand new) and discs have only done 1 hour of racing and 30 min of quali (also a test day 45 min). Im not hard on the brakes and always do the correct bedding in procedure. The discs have only ever seen DS3000.

Cars looking very good

Bloody hell Dave that just snapped out!

Yea cheers Dave, would be good, im going yo get them back on to the original settings and take it from there. I might have new suspension by then too.

Another awesome weekends racing with the TARC in the Tricolore Trophy, with a combined grid and stand alone race it made great racing...however the car still had a few niggles that put a slighter downer on the weekend. Quali: Overall quali went "ok", while not putting in the fastest lap, the...

iirc the tyre temps was around 53deg buy the time I got to the paddock. Tyre pressure was around 31psi, the car handled better in the second race when I dropped the cold pressures down buy 5 psi to what I normally run. Will also add that the brakes was locking up too. I checked the car over...

I was running a tad more toe out than normal, so wondering if thats what made the tyres go off quicker! Yea it was a good tussle. Are you doing Snet?

R888, 3hrs use

Yes went well, beat my PB by seconds however the tyres started going off by the 3rd lap and by lap 5 they was done, was hard work trying to keep it on the black stuff to be honest. With the tyres going off the brakes kept locking up, even trying to moderate the braking and taking corners...

Well done Adam, congrats on the awards ;)

Yes I'm aware of that mate, I have calculated the difference when checking from the hub to get it roughly on. Its not a huge different to be fair.

Coming along nicely mate, have you done many track days in it yet?

Yea think it was about £230 for both parts.

No floors needs to be level, it can check the camber with the wheels off too (and castor) due to designs of frame

UPDATE: June 2014 Again, due to work and other commitments not a lot has happened with the Clio, I manage to replace the crank sensor this week with the newer style (blue) sensor, it actually makes a real difference, my old one must have been proper shagged! Looking at rolling the car out...

I'v been running the KTEC bodies (with GEN90) for 2 years now and has not missed a beat, on a otherwise standard engine (except map of course). If you can afford the £ per bhp ratio its def worth it in my option, esp if you can get one second hand. You have to bin your fly by throttle wire and...

Let us know how you get on mate.

Yes I am (Tom?) happy days, Donny was my first race venue last year, and first time i haver been there, its good fun, def looking forward to going back there. Have you done Donny before?

Cancel that just seen thread title (172) doh

Are you the guy who just registered to do the race at Donny in 2 weeks? (Clio 182)? You will only need 45min of video space minimum, i carry spare SD cards anyway if you do fall short

Sweet

Nice progression mate, hmm self control whats that then? Regarding the flywheel bolts, it should be common knowledge to replace them as the ramification are to great otherwise. (Theres plenty of youtube clips of flying flywheels! ) How much did the arch roller cost?

Isn't there suppose to be play in the N/S drive shaft to allow for suspension/wishbone movement?

Splendid work, good gains too.

Nice one buddy, look forward to seeing the results

Hows the Clio coming along Adam? Any pics of the build?

Is a shame, but I was surprised how quickly TT grid filled up.
