UPDATE:
A new heatshrink boot has been ordered from FCLane, it is Hellerman rather than Raychem but reading the specs it all sounds the same. FCLane were awesome too so I will certainly being using them again if needed, once that arrives it will be sorted asap.
Grabbing little bits of time to...
I believe it does yeah, when you heat shrink it I believe the adhesive helps it adhere to the surface you are putting it over.
His reply:
“Hello, It looks like some of the /225 pre coated adhesive is coming away. This is fairly standard with the product you have ordered. When the parts are...
Cheers mate, it is coming along.
I did order a new heat shrink boot off of ebay, but I am pretty sure its a knock off jobby. It turned up with the inner lining flaking off quite badly so it is being returned straight away - jokers....
Need to try and find another one (which seems easier...
UPDATE:
With the dash comms pretty much sorted I needed to finalise the loom (the new items were only twisted together wires).
I also needed to sort out where the bulkhead connector went into the bulkhead. Northampton Motorsport left this so I could sort the dash oil communications.
I...
UPDATE:
Wheels were dropped off at City Powdercoaters last week and collected today. Very lucky that they are close by to me currently which makes it a no brainer, especially at the price they charge. Extremely happy with the finish too....
I went for Satin black to match the other items...
100% worth the effort. I know exactly how you feel after stripping back the whole underside and arches of mine but it is so worth it to know that it is done.
looks like a great job too.
UPDATE:
Managed to get a little bit of time on the clio again today. Extremely happy with todays outcome as I feel this was a long journey to get here.
With the help of James Ashton (BigAsh) again I managed to get the calibration/set-up on the Dash2 right finally. I am now getting info/readings...
old man, you know if you put @ before a name it tags the person so they actually know you are talking to them, rather than they just stumble across it...
On the note of finishing, you still have a good chance, you seen my thread?
EDIT: I did see that I had already replied to this... it appears...
UPDATE:
Wow, having a baby does cut your free time down somewhat, but then again so does the faff of the christmas period. The last time I posted about the dash I mentioned that I had to wire in a 12v - 5v regulator that would then power up the Oil temp and pressure sensors - I finally managed...
From all I have heard from people racing clio’s (and other fwd cars) is that they set up the car to basically drag the rear around, and this is the best way to set them up. Do you think the outlay to develop/manufacture these on a one off or group buy basis would be worth it for the benefit?
UPDATE:
Well the thoughts on what tyres to get got solved pretty quickly on Saturday when I spotted @Tomotek was selling some race scrubbed R888R.
I spoke to the wife nicely about getting some rubber as an early birthday present and she obliged and as I was on a merry little tour of the country...
@pule333 was it yourself that rates the Interstate tyres?

I don't plan on driving it on the road much because as you say the geo is going to be quite aggressive, it would also be for the summer months really - I 100% won't be driving it until the weather turns in the new year.
Thats the thing, they aren't really new at all, they have been with the...
Are the AR1's ok in the wet?
Exactly my thoughts. I was thinking slicks for the dry set, but I think I will be needing new suspension before I head towards slicks, something I can stiffen a lot more.
So, its my birthday early in the new year and I am thinking about asking for some tyres and a wheel refurb... how exciting.The wheel side of things I know what I am doing but am considering which tyres I should be looking at... I have a few saved posts on facebook to check through but would be...
That pressure tester seems pretty handy, good that you easily managed to solve the issue too.
as you the leon, stop being a wetty and drive the clio, i'll take mine too ;)
UPDATE:
No long after posting last week Race Technology got back in contact with me after doing a bit of digging their end. My Dash2 is a very early item and because of this it differs to some later models in that it does not have a 5V reference out voltage. This is normally used to power up...
Know what you mean. I posted a Vanlife roadtrip video on my channel and expected it to do pretty well, it was no different (if anything, better) to some other videos with crazy amounts more hits, but I think I screwed up as it has popular music on it... oh well not to bothered. Um, yeah of...
