Checked all the fuses and all are ok. The light on the dash telling me its on is working which tells me I'm getting power to there but nothing on the rear screen. Is it just a case of checking all the wiring or is there something common that goes with these? Cheers for any pointers!

Phoned Cobra who were helpful in a way but couldn't help me as they said that Renault UK get these alarms from Italy and they are not the same as Cobra UK sell in this country. He suggested finding the alarm ecu and disconnecting it or getting Renault to put a new ecu in but I'm sure that will...

Just bought a decat and will be adding it to my ktec stealth after it mot next month. I can let you know then if you can wait that long!

Cheers guys.

Do both wheels have the same offset?

Fair point mate. Like the ltd editionness of the Trophy though. Like the look also and coilovers will be going on the track 172 cup. The Trophy would be staying std so need to get the best factory clio for under £8k.

Top man Simf40, cheers!

Advice please on new car for the wife. In the coming months I will be relieving the wife of her much loved 172 cup to turn it into a track car. She is very undecided on what she wants but keeps saying that she loves the performance and looks of the cup but wants something newer and with more...

I've checked all the door, boot and bonnet switches as if any of them are open when I arm the alarm the alarm beeps to say that. I can't get my head around why it is all quiet for 30 mins and then goes off.

Tried turning the ultrasonics off and it still goes off after the 30 mins. Can't think what else it could be. Renault aren't much help either as they said they would charge £67 per hour and didn't know where to start.

Usually around £50 per wheel so that is to the dearer side of that. If they're good it may be worth the extra.

I park in the driveway on a quiet street so it can't be noise and the battery is only 6 months old. I can't work out why it takes 30 mins to go off?

Just bought some the other week there for £6 each.

Thanks 480bhp, appreciate it!

What are the tried and tested spring rates? Also, does AST suspension require more maintenance than other types of coilovers? Thanks for all the help guys!

The only road use would be to and from the track. Would 45nm on the front and 30nm on the rear be too soft for track use? Can the springs be changed and how much would I be looking at?

Also, what spring rating would be ideal for a track setup?

Sorry to hijack slightly but I'm looking at buying a second hand set of ast's. Are they any good or are there any others that would be recommended over these. They seem to be the only brand that use coilovers at all 4 corners. Does this have any advantages?

What settings are everyone running for track use on coilovers including ride height, caster, camber, etc.... Is it lower the better or is there a limit on how low to go? Looking at fitting coilovers over the winter ready for next years track season.

Everytime I lock the doors using the key fob and so setting the alarm, it goes off after exactly 30 mins. I now have to lock the doors using the interior switch and then lock the passenger door and so not use the alarm. Anyone else had this issue or know how to fix? Thanks Steven

I'll get a cage eventually but until I do looks like it'll be the R888's then. Cheers for the info guys!

Is there too much body flex with the xtra grip?

A Michelin 18/62 16 S4B racing slick from online motorsport is £60. There does seem a big difference in tyre prices from 15" to 16". Might have to switch if the group buy on pro race 1.2's goes ahead.

What would make the best track tyres that will only be used on track. Something like R888's or an actual slick or moulded slick. The slicks seem to be around £60 for a 16" whereas an R888 is around £125. Would you get enough heat into a slick with coilovers?

I've got them on my impreza p1 and they do all that is asked of them. When pushing on they tend to slide a bit but it's controlled. Never tried them on the cup. For the money they have my vote. Don't think they would be up to much on track though.

What's the reason for a no no Brown Bear?

I fitted some ktec jobs about 2 years ago and they still look as new. Would recommend them from my experience.

Cheers for the input guys! Would you go for top mounts too? Is it critical to the handling?

Thinking of getting some coilovers for my 172 cup as I plan on getting it track prepped over the winter. Thinking of either KW v2's or ast's, which do you think would perform best on track? Any advice welcome and appreciated!

Anyone got any close up pics of the Ktec mounts fitted. Just bought a set of ebay but not sure how they go together. Cheers for the help guys!
