in my opinion poly bushes are a must have for track cars unless you can afford rose jointed arms. standard bushes are too soft and wont hold you geometry settings too well around the corners.you could have -2/3 camber but with soft bushes this could be lost in the corners due to bush flex. some...

yeh i agree. got them on my focus and they are brilliant. adjustable camber is the best part. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BC-Racing-BR-RN-Series-Coilover-Kit-Renault-Clio-Sport-172-1998-2004-/271162769216?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item3f228f7f40 edit just read...

i use lap timers on every track day iv done.so do my mates.its the only way i can judge my progress and see how my mods or geo changes translate into a quicker car.just because i dont race doesnt mean i dont want to improve my car or my driving skills.if i could compete it would be in Time...

To be fair your previous reply was a waste of your time and my time reading it so what do you expect me to say.if you cant be helpful dont bother replyig

obviously i care or i wouldnt have asked the question?just because i dont race doesnt mean i cant keep track of lap times. i cant afford to race but i have a group of mates who all track day and we compete amongst ourselves on lap times. its just fun and banter but we enjoy it. what are the...

just dragging this back up as i wondered how much better are the dunlops over 595 rsr? federal 595 rsr is the first and only track tyres iv used so have no experiance of any others like 888 or dgo3 ect. has any one tried the 2 on the same track (fed and dunlop) and timed their laps to see how...

maybe the footage is deceptive but your combe time is very good indeed.1.21.5 is very fast so i take it all back lol. what tyres did you use for that time?

hi guys very good thread you got here. i first went back a page and watched the donington vids and my first impression was something is wrong with your handling! i was goin to just post asking about your geometry setup but then decided to read the whole thing before commenting.i like the...

sorry not a clio but here it is build thread on passionford http://passionford.com/forum/restorations-rebuilds-and-projects/442304-project-underdog-focus-track-car-with-an-astra-roll-cage.html

my focus st170 road car does it too. annoying when you do it in bust traffic lol

what a build thread. it taken me about 4 hours to get through it lol. i got to page 25 and decided i had to read only your comments or id never be done. cant believe how much trouble you have had with it but sounds like its gona work out now. considering the start date of the thread i really...

im clueless to how rolling roads work so they could fudge me all day long. am i correct in assuming though a non corrected figure is the genuine bhp the car makes on that day? i know they correct to set air temp but if im on track on a cold day then my car is making roughly the same bhp it made...

great news that then, thanks. what make and what AH did you use?

until i read that article i was unaware it was possible to do that so its opened my eyes. before i would have just believed whatever they say and took it as truth. id rather have the figure before correction now as on the day thats what it truly made regardless of air temp correction

i read an article on passionford by motorsport developments on dyno manipulation and after that i find it hard to beleive any bhp figures from rolling roads now. its so easy to fake a few extra bhps by moving the temp sensor to a hotter part of the engine. im not saying they have done that to...

i want a lightweight car battery that doesnt cost the earth and found these on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-20AH-MOTORSPORT-LIGHTWEIGHT-6KG-RALLY-COMPETITION-RACING-CAR-BATTERY-/130954676494?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e7d81c90e they list for a car but they are...

that good power. where did you have the rolling road too.?

i use 2500 on my focus but with a standard disc not grooved. they have done 3 track days and still going strong.plenty of life left. i have got air ducts though for cooling so that may help.my brother wore a set of yellowstuffs in one day of llandow with a grooved disc and felt no better than a...

i really like clio sports but love my focus more lol. when i was searching for a track car project it was between a clio and a focus but focus was cheaper and iv had one for 8 yrs so knew them better.my brother has had 2 before his civic. a 182 and a 172 cup.he should have never sold the cup for...

been working my through this build tonight adam. nice car and good plans too. i also use federal rsr and find them grate value for money.i got them from my tyres. i have 3.5 degrees camber on my focus and the shoulder wear is nothing compared to my brothers civic with rsr and standard camber. i...
