That top road your talking about yeah it's utter shite these days I live in the south end of Lincoln so these days do the back roads through woodhall spa and that direction - still some good roads I do remember the friday/saturday night blasts to skegvegas on that top road though - was...

Cup alternator bracket I want to run one of the lighter renault 21/volvo style brackets but I can't find one anywhere :( Belt was stated in here mate

Ahh cool I wouldn't like to try to get to that with the dash in place! Lol

Are you sure??? Fred said that I could extend the cup column to meet that twingo rack but even with the column in the vice I couldn't get that bottom knuckle joint to slide at all - even with a hammer and pipe grips The 1.2 16v column I got you can slide the bottom knuckle easily I'm not 100%...

Not sure what you mean by big plug Theres a wide 16 pin plug - you don't need that Then 2 x 2 pin plugs with power/earth leads One of those you need as you need to wire it to a battery feed with a 60a fuse The other comes on a cable from the EPAS motor It's the middle plug you need :- And...

Yes. Interesting point there - get a column without an ignition barrel, or get the key because you have to put the key in and turn to position 1 to unlock the barrel from the column LOL I found out the hard way - had to drill the locking ping out of the barrel on mine as it had no key You...

Ditto. Last time I was out in the Clio I got 3 naughty points :(

What kit did you use? The slow mo stuff looks a bit juddery - is it software faked or actually recorded at 60/120fps? The gopro stuff is nice You could do with a steadi rig for the hand held stuff Nice editing though and better than some of the "pro" vids I've seen haha

Stop making the site look all maxpower/flashy/funky and just put something up Show is in 3 months and no-one can book tickets... Are you responsible for the new performancefrenchcars website too? Cos that's been "coming soon" for 6 months :(

Hahhahaaa fair!

I can see some interesting trips to the coast when you're up at Newark.. Weekend back roads to Skegness, ITB's followed by boost ;)

Unfortunately everything always seems to be done by "mates" of the directors and the website is always s**t The forum died on http://performancefrenchcars.co.uk/ last year, I offered to fix it for them as I'm a bit handy with vbulletin for obvious reasons lol, heard nothing back. It's still...

When they announced the stupid idea of going to Combe I pretty much declared myself out of the pre-planning. Said it would be a disaster as no-one wants to drive that far for a fairly "boring" circuit and a load of grass fields Sadly looks like my prediction was right - still no ticket...

Yeah that's actually my favourite thing - having the engine off but ignition on and full assisted steering Can push it around the yard/pits now without firing it up all the time. The only noise you hear is a loud click when the relay in the ecu turns the EPAS on and off - other than that...

Feels really good - with it on max it's very light and smooth, with it off there is a ton of feedback through the wheel - loads of adjustment inbetween I think with a bit of trial and error on track I should be able to find the perfect amount of assistance without losing feedback You cant...

You mean no assistance at all? No - not at all. It's ludicrously heavy. Anything less than 10mph and I can barely move the steering. The DCi rack is pretty quick and I have 205 tyres which might make it worse, but my car is also 100-200kg lighter than a normal cup lol

There was a thread about the rears seizing/rusting up - but it got removed as Sir_Dave said The general feedback from Spax/re-sellers was that this is a race setup so stop winging :(

Picked the cable up on my way home - cost £18 in the end. Wired it up, wired a switched 12v feed from the ignition barrel and wired the earth up to one of the main earth points on the dashboard bar Worked first time :D On the highest setting it's easily as light as with the old PAS - but...

Well I dropped my wiring measurements off at the auto electrician this morning - he says the existing power/earth cables are only around 32/36amp rated. So he found some cable one size bigger than standard said it was rated to continuous 50a - I said the fuse was 60a so surely that won't be...

I've properly gone off gopro these days Sony bring out a better/cheaper camera - it gets MUCH better reviews than the gopro 3 - so gopro start suing websites and sending DMCA orders to remove the reviews. w*****s Maybe they should spend less money on advertising with Ken Block and...

You need the full column as I don't believe you can swap just the top part Also it would be an utter nightmare as the top part is totally inaccessible lol It's a bit of a pain but you undo the pin on the rack, push the rubber through into the car, undo 4 13mm bolts holding the column on...

I've seen a few places offering unencoding for the Mk3 PAS ECU's so it does sound like some are locked That's a bit of a pain if the ECU goes and you have to replace the whole column lol French cars... who'd have em eh? ;)

I'm doing cadwell on an evening session 15th May - I'm pretty excited as lots of people say it's very suited to Clios :D The French Trophy looks very tempting - I think I'm going to have a summer playing around with mine on track days to get the geometry and everything setup but also swap my...

You get a very good wiring instruction manual with the box off ebay - the wiring is actually easy Removing the old rack is a b**ch and getting the EPAS column in without removing the bottom half of the dash is VERY fiddly. I had to remove the motor (2 bolts) then fit it - then put the motor...

I hate tamron & sigma s**t :( Every time I buy one I end up selling it and getting a proper Canon lens instead

Thanks mate :)

Should be Will. After I bought my rack from renparts I actually noticed a few new/refurbed ones on ebay LOL But mine was only £25 and it's smooth as silk so should be ok. It's handy knowing I can replace it for a brand new rack at any time for £60 though I'm also quite convinced it's a quicker...

Did a bit more on this today Took some pics of what I've already done too Column fitted.. The EPAS ECU does indeed slip straight onto a bracket behind the dash :D Really happy about this as it's secured with an m6 screw and won't be rattling around Control nob fitted - I...

Oooh that's good to know - not how it was originally sold It is a good bit of kit

Hahhaah that's most of the fun
