    painting over light surface rust

    What's the best product to prime metal with light surface rust? I need to prime my new caged shell and the bare metal has some light surface rust, do I need to sand it down etc?

    172 Tarmac Rally Car

    Not sure yet, I think it's going to be a total new box. Its just strange that the box is fully functional and has ejected something, assuming that iv not just smashed the casing up somehow. I'm going to hopefully get it out either this weekend or next

    172 Tarmac Rally Car

    Another update: The car has competed at Abingdon car-nival stages and put in some good stage times. The springs were way too soft which is something I had been thinking for a while. As a result I upped the spring rates to 375lb fronts and 500lb rears. Soooo Last weekend was the patriot...

    Header tank design - protection from dropping things!

    If I dropped say an m6 nut into the header tank would it make it into the water pump? Or are there things in the design to stop it from making its way out of the tank?

    Clio rally car

    48.4.1. The suspension must retain the operating principle and utilise the mounting points as provided by the vehicle manufacturer. I would suggest that its well worth asking someone about it who actually knows. Even if you keep the mounting points in the same place as mike suggests, it could...

    Best trackday brake set up advice please !

    It really depends on your budget - the stuff varies from £7 for 500ml to £60+ for the Castrol stuff I used some cheap gulf racing 5.1 in the rally car and cooked it good and proper. I will be moving to come Castrol SRF

    group n spring rates?

    What dampers are they on? I should imagine that a RR car would/should be softer than a tar car? (you guys have quite a lot of rough stuff don't you?)

    group n spring rates?

    But you cant buy a FARB. I am currently running 300lb fronts and 200lb rears so I am considering upping it by 50lb

    group n spring rates?

    Thanks for the great reply! Yes I am interested - I find it all really interesting, if you understand why something is happening you have half a chance of making it better! There is always bumpy stuff and therein lies the problem - hard enough for the fast smooth stuff and soft enough of the...

    group n spring rates?

    That is where it was set last time one - my plan was to go back to 2.5. Yeh I don't think the dampers are perfectly suited to what im doing but I cant afford anymore!

    group n spring rates?

    Its quite interesting looking at those pictures from a suspension point of view. Three degs neg on the fronts (to try to stop the scrubbing) but it has worn the insides too! so too much camber! Am I right in thinking its the softness of the suspension that is causing the tyres to roll as it...
