This will show how out of touch I am probably........... Looking at that I would probably go for 2 lots of 4 laps. I wouldn't want to drive 450miles and not get a decent amount of track time.

That's fine tbh. I am happy with just the ring. I am easily pleased:) The last weekend in May. So I would think leave on the Friday? 25th and have Saturday there, then drive back on the Sunday at a guess.

haha, you are welcome to come Scott:) Well if we go ahead with the whole Euro trip then I will budget for around £700, that will include fuel, hotels, food, laps etc. If its just the ring then maybe around £400 all in. But obviously it wouldn't be no where near that for you. Just some petrol...

I will be on my todd Car is quicker that way:p

A very satisfying report there Chris:) Can't wait to see it all cleaned up and back in a driving state;)

Think I may have seen you driving into the little industrial estate near Tesco in Milton a few weeks back?

Re: i Sold my rwd escort cosworth 400bhp to get a clio 172 ?? did i do the right thin I love the Mk1 That picture reminds me I have a pair of Cibie Super Oscars in the garage. Look good on the clio;)

I fitted them, so yes!

Will Eibach make the springs then? Also, surely that will cost a bomb?

Liking the updates........ Also liking the way the rear negative camber stands out on the back! The dust where the tyres have rolled:)

Ok was an exaggeration lol I have always put it wherever there is contact between the pad and calliper/piston. That's all. Spark plugs?

Car is looking good Dan. My pads when very cold have only squealed very faintly and for only the first stops. Did you put lots of copper slip on the calliper and pads?

Pretty low. Banderson on here is running vmaxx low on 15's and he has swapped his vmaxx dampers on the rear for standard cup packed ones and prefers it. I must say, it rides very well. I am running Sachs dampers so are stiffer anyway so would hope for them to be fine? I was going to look at...

WOW! That's even more than mine! I am thinking of putting coilover rear springs and adjusters on. That way you can settle for the height you want, to match the front. The only thing that worries me is whether it will mess up the balance and handling? Can anyone shed any light on this?

Its possible, its only one of the "UFO" shaped collars that is loose in both bearings if that makes so new ones are coming:)

Here we are

They are. I have cancelled it down to the "UFO" shaped collar that fits on first and up inside the bottom of the top mount. This is not a snug fit. There is wear around the top lip which causes very small movement once located. Both bearings are tight and moveable. I have the part coming from...

It doesn't really matter in a way I think as for me they look stupid and are no good. Therefore, they will need to be replaced

They are bedded in, they are over a year old! lol Don't want to go into custom springs really, will probably end up putting coilover springs and adjusters on the back so I can match the height of the front.

Very true. Mine is 15mm different! Thats about the difference between having sportlines and not lol I shall get some decents pics up Saturday

Rattle like mad. Sorted the drivers side, but await a new part for the passenger side which should (fingers crossed) be here tomorrow.

I will try and get some half decent pics up on Saturday of it. Nose down is common sense yes as you transport passengers which lower your ride height. Mine is taking the mick, not common sense

If you can stretch your budget a little further, I would personally not buy anything other than Focal components. Honestly, they are head and shoulders above competitors for the price bracket. In fact a quick search reveals that they are pretty much the same price, honestly IMHO a no brainer...

I used this http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/paint/specialist-paints/spray_paints/Rust-Oleum-400ml-Stove-and-BBQ-Black-11117617 I wanted satin black but couldn't find any at a decent price so went for this, and after 4 or 5 coats it dries pretty much satin finish, or as those pics^^ really.

Good man:) Can't wait to see it out on track soon. I have ordered a couple of bits for my ast's so should be fixed and ready for a track day by the end of the week. I am going to try and do the one at snetterton at the end of this month...........you should too;)

Yes I did. Its time consuming, messy, and dangerous if you do not wear the correct safety equipment. Look ok though don't they;)

I sand blasted mine then gave them around 5 coats of bbq enamel paint.

Thanks for that So it seems that mine sits alittle high at the back anyway then at 610?! Strange. And its not as if they need to settle as they are over a year old.

My front arch from ground is 595mm and rear is 610mm Just out of interest what are yours?

Suits me well:) The places that you have said to go Tom, how many days is that just out of interest?
