very good so far George, as much initial bite as the RC6 but with a lot less nasty dust, no fade either, we'll see how they last, if they wear well I can't see me trying anything else tbh :)

Got a bargain stud conversion, made better by the 20% code eBay had last week! Just got 68mm as I've no plans for spacers Last track day of the year this Sunday, can't wait.

Looks good to me!

Just cruise in on the slow down lap in 4th/5th gear, get back to the pits, leave the handbrake off and open the bonnet to let it cool down. My water temps have never been high on track.

Hammer! Doesn't take much to beat it back a few mm

You don't need to us the new loom, look at the difference, there's only a little ridge of plastic to shave off with a sharp knife, old plug fits and clicks in, never had an issue :)

1. Dephaser/belts done within the last two years 2. Quality 6 point cage, not eBay special 3. 15" wheels for cheaper tyres 4. Decent seats with Fia 4 point minimum harnesses......in or out of date 5. Brake cooling 6. Decent all round condition 7. Decent coilovers would be nice .........but the...

alarm went off one day, went out and the car was filled with smoke. Opened the door and the card was smoking and melting, ripped it off and put it out! Seemed to come from the electric mirror switch, car was sitting for days, weird!

rofl It's what happens when you can't stop tinkering :smile: Yes, door cards cut down after a random electrical fire damaged one

Thanks, I'll have a look, I need to remove one of the rears anyway as I snapped an Allen key off in the height adjuster collar 😌

What isn't a necessity has gone on this, I'd love to know the weight! Sounded bloody fantastic out there :)

Bend it back out, wire brush it and spray with stone chip. I got little bits of stainless box section and bolted them on to give some strength, then covered that with stone chip too, been jacked up countless times since and nothing has budged

Quick update, Fitted new HC discs on the front with DS1.11 pads from @George@RTR_Parts , along with the 888s the car felt fantastic. I did a session scrubbing the tyres in, and as the day was quiet was looking forward to hammering it all day long, but the Clio had other ideas again, jumped in...

no mate, really unimpressed tbh. It's too big, there's no position on my car where it doesn't either cause vibration or impede a gear change! It needs cut down by about 20mm to work imo, but it's too heavy, bit stupid on a track car I decided.

don't waste your money on it :( Unless you want to buy mine lol 911 grams, f**k that, it's off again :tonguewink:

Got mine today, I'll fit it on Saturday, track day on Sunday so I'll post my findings It's surprisingly heavy

what about rallysport? They have a winter series, held at nuts corner amongst other places, ~£80 Some rally-esque rounds I'd avoid but some Tarmac too :)

not heard of it tbh, but I'm only interested in the smooth stuff, rallycross is too hard in the car and wallet! I need to keep mine road legal.

Get it out there and see what it needs. Some proper bargains pop up on here occasionally if you're patient :blush: What have you got on the front?

Depends on the coilovers, ASTs are conventional Spring over damper, others like billies have adjuster platforms that sit in the oe Spring location, with shorter springs

As long as I actually make the last two that'll be 10 for me, couple of issues along the way, O2 and crank sensors and brakes or it would've been more lol

Might have the ASTs rebuilt, also need a gearbox rebuild if I can source the parts, crunching into 3rd and leaking quite badly from the selector seal now 😧 Two more track days until it goes off the road again though :cool:

What size eye bolts did you get? M10 fitted in that position on mine

much worse, especially for a pure track car like mine, regularly clipping the limiter (easily done on track) is a good way to snap/stretch your rod bolts, mine doesn't see ordinary daily driving, these engines can Rev to 7400, much safer Imo. I have shift lights to keeps me well under though...

most beneficial on track, clipping the limiter regularly is hard on rod bolts amongst other things, easy to do when you're revving it to the redline every gear change

White goes with everything :)

Thanks Tom! I bought the ASTs 2nd hand and there are no numbers on the springs unfortunately, I'd love to know. Even on softer settings they are close to unbearable on the road. I've been using NS-2Rs and RS-Rs so I'm expecting an improvement :)

It was a great day out, another one next Sunday, my first on 888s, hopefully improve my times :)
