Think i have a spare gearbox to collect shortly, whats expected cost for a recon normally? Thing is, id like to strip mine and repair as i know what syncros are at fault, but i dont know the spare box! Ive read that a thicker selector fork helps, what fork and from where? Also, should i get...

Old thread bump, anyone got an English repair manual they could email? Hoping to do syncros on a box this week!

So whats the difference in a Cup box to a standard 172? What and where are the codes on them? Im away to get a spare box to rebuild for my clio just now. What Megane gearbox has the lower final drive?

Had my car out for the first time today on the track and its crunching some gears pretty bad. I know its a common issue so a 2nd hand box seems pointless, so what have others done? full rebuild? Just had syncros replaced? Want it fixed ASAP as the car is near perfect on track otherwise!!

Aye good meeting you Morgan (and your mate). I was surprised my car had the straight line speed to match yours too, seemed no different when you were on your own either, but thanks to your ambitious entry and farming at the first corner we never got to find out properly. :rasp: Unfortunately...

Is that right, i dont even know the S&S groups/ regs. Its a whiteline RARB, i thought it was different having black too- which im glad about. Its brand new from EARS Motorsport- only £149 delivered. sunstrip material was just enough to do one and a spare few inches, £3 on Ebay but presume you...

Nice one, prob catch up with you before hand then. In the mean time i better go get a 2.nd jerry can! :O

Somehow never seen replies here. Got car set up with 888 16s fine. Morgan, im wanting to put a VW 20vt in mine at the end of the year, 350bhp ish and id then have a shot in S&S. What power will yours be? Cars had more done, just havent updated. Its going out for its first outing tomorrow at...

Top work as ever lad! Looking minted! time you hoping to be at the hill? We are going up early for the crack, theres a bike trackday on beforehand. Could get a bit crack too. Also, how much fuel do you take for a 4hr open pit? 55quid of Optimax be enough if my car lasts all day!? :)

Not so safe, mines is crunching going back down into 4th! :( Hopefully it doesnt start doing it going up or in any other gear!

Im sure i recognise your username from maybe a 106 Rallye forum back probably 10 years ago?? Is the Clio going to be joining the mass of Clios at Knockhill track events? :)

Can i ask the difference between boxes? Whats the closest ratio one (for acceleration)?

Anyone other than Morgan booked on tomorrow for open pit? Morgan, are you going to have the car back together?? Lol

Good work, why on earth do all this to put it back to standard and sell it though?? Looking forward to getting out on Sat!

Looks good mate, when you next out?

Weight saving is really only for hardcore track cars. On my work roller brake tester ive recently weighed a 182 (1070kg), a Clio dynamique (1020kg) and my track 172 (940kg). It isnt accurate like corner weights but gives an indication. Mine is still fully road legal. Fully stripped of spare...

Ordered a rear anti roll bar now too, hopefully handle good and just need to mess about with dampening and RARB. What do people run in the wet, RARB disconnected?

Yeh although i can see how the race project never gets done. Too many toys. Haha! Thanks for that, think im going to buy one and have a play with it at open pit day!

Me and my pal should be there (both 172s) providing they survive their first outing this weekend, Fraser and Niel.A are already booked, i think there will be around 8 Clios as there is always a few unknown ones there too! We havent booked yet though, im not sure how many spaces are left..

Class work, gonna be top notch after all this- and in a short period of time!! on a side note, does it have a rear arb and do you rate them? Im thinking of buying one before the weekend as its all i feel im missing handling wise!

Theres normally loads of track days throughout the year, random forums etc. Google search can bring some up or maybe knockhill could give you dates and contacts to book via.

Silver will look good. Youre too big for you boots boyo ;)

Oh aye, im forgetting your cage is already painted! Colour you doing inside? ill hopefully get my 2nd shot on the 8th too!

Are cup wishbones longer too? If so, maybe the 2 you had problems with had accidentaly had standard replacement wishbones, meaning to correct tracking the tre's would need wound further in and hence bottoming out? My bottom arms are both stamped RS so still original and as i say, no problem...

Crap pictures, wheres fully fitted ones?? :) Your first outing the 8th eh?

Ah right just same as camber shims. Thanks a lot for offer, appreciate it. Im going to get it properly checked and corner weighted soon enough. If you have it with you anyway it could be interesting to see it set up too though. I done it all yeh, my track rods are fine, think theyre about 20...

You were running RSRs though werent you? Think they roll a lot more than 88s! Toyo advise 5deg max! Toe is on front, havent checked rear nor do i have any way of checking it. How do you go about adjusting rear toe if needed!??

Cheers, ive set it up to give it a shot- 4 degrees neg camber front, 2 degrees neg rear. 10min toe out. Havent had corner weights done, will be done at some point, probably once its ballasted up for Super lap scotland!

Get off the forum and ger oan wee eet!!!!

You aiming to be out with it on the 1st? Glad to hear it!
