No worries pal. :wink:
Just have to call or mail Rsport with the refs Sam. Seems a bit of a lottery with whatever they have left in stores for the older clio 2 cup/grp N stuff but wouldn't imagine you'd have any issues getting hold of the newer parts. A lot of the clio 2 cup stuff is no...
Had me questioning my sanity there Steven! :D
You're posts are usually very detailed - was wondering if i'd always had the wrong appreciation of the fundamentals.
Thanks both for clarifying & apologies to Sam for going OT. :)
Nice change Mark. You not tempted with some kermit 2118s? :)
They already primed, hard to tell on my phone? Will you bake them once you've painted or just let them air dry before refitting the tyres?
Wasn't disagreeing with you on that mate. :)
Was just puzzled by the claim in the other thread that the b14 rear rates equated to a 500+lb rate on a rear coilover setup. The mk2 cup cars were only 390lb. :D
Speaking of bladed ARBs, do you know if that guy that posted on here from Russia ever...
For a road car where it's useful to be able to use the boot space, carry passengers etc I don't understand the point of deliberately making an already small car even more impractical by stripping out all of the interior. Personally I wouldn't bother, but whatever floats your boat I guess Joe. :)
Yes mate, that's what seemed odd. Wouldn't the greater effort necessary to overcome a given resistance further out from the pivot require a spring of lesser rate to achieve equivalence? Post #43 suggests the inverse.
In the thread linked above, how come post #43 suggests rate equivalence for a 1:1 MR versus the platform mount on the beam would mean using a spring that was double the rate?
Yea tons of work. :( ASTs are the 5300 from the other clio just with bespoke strut casings to suit the laguna hubs.
Youre running ASTs on yours now right? You off to the ring again this year with Rob?
Booked it the other day yes mate. Still have a ton of stuff to do mind.
Shell has needed so much prep to ready it for paint and still have the box and engine to rebuild and reassemble it all.
Curtis has appatently sorted strut casings so will now be able to use the ASTs with it. Will be...
Cheers @mark123, is that around 10mm further outboard on the 172 cup s/frame? Are they both the same height?
Curious about the actual difference in trackwidth now with the two lengths of uniball holders & different wheel offsets. Will have a look over the weekend.
Do you have a link Morgan? I'd just assumed it was 5mm as had never compared the two side by side.
Just checked now and it is a typo in the manual. The later beam with the reinforcement is 24mm dia bar compared to 22mm on the earlier variant as @CJM had suggested.
Likewise had meant to compare the evo00/evo04 cup car rear beams I have - was sure they were 22mm as stated in the build manual but wouldn't rule out that being a typo. :expressionless:
evo00:
evo04:
CJM's figures seem to factor this, but pretty sure the 10mm difference he quoted per side...
Rsport only have limited stocks of parts Marc, much of the x65 stuff is now unavailable unless you can source it second hand.
Complete Taatus fuel rail setup was pretty much £450 as of a few years back, maybe a little more now if they still have any in stock.
