The cup racers don't have Jenveys , they have a bog standard engine like mine , thought it sounded louder than standard , I went to have a look but the bonnet was shut and no one near it , looks the same as mine but his steering wheel is on the wrong side lol His gearing was wrong for today ...

Was that his first event in it , haven't seen it before , is it still on the race car gearing and suspension ?

Did you go to Carmarthen showground today , if so do you know the guy with the red clio ex race car ?

It will be the loom for the engine and dash , not looking to split them at the moment , would like to sell it as a job lot , if not then i'll look at selling separate

If anyone is interested in my engine , loom , ecu and LCD dash , its coming out and i'm selling it all for a grand

Just found out the outer CV's are indeed laguna ones , so trying to locate some new GKN ones

Just had a look at my shafts and CV's , there are 25 splines on the end of the shaft and 23 on the CV joint

The shaft I had made the other week , the same company also supplied me an outer CV joint , this was only £35 and they had them in stock so it must be off another car not a special one off , i'll ask them tomorrow what they supplied me , but was hoping asking on here that someone already knew.

My car doesn't have a 2 piece shaft , they are both one piece , i'll have to measure how many splines the end of the Sadev shaft has and go from there , the Clio 172 CV joints I have fit into the Laguna hubs , but the shaft is too thick to fit into the CV joint , so I need to find out which one...

Well finally got the car on the ramp today to strip it down to send the shaft back , was told by one of my mechanics on the rally that the shaft had snapped flush with the CV joint so naturally assumed it had snapped in the same place as last time on the circlip groove , well it turns out its...

Where did you get the rad and fans from , I'm after one of them , cars looking great Cheers Ian

not until I get my engine though :rasp:

Its been good all year , but October has been awful !!

Have uploaded the first stage from the weekend , it was definitely a big power venue with those straights , check out the ending where I have total brake failure at the end of a sixth gear straight , just chucked it into a spin to slow it down and hit a wooden pole that broke the wing and...

Do your current shafts have the groove there , or did you have it changed so they are on the end of the shaft

On the outer spline , on the circlip groove , the same place my new one did , I asked the guy to move the circlip groove to the end of the shaft , I can't see the point in making the shaft diameter thinner by cutting a groove onto it , but he said it wouldn't be a problem and he guaranteed it...

I had been trying to speak to them for months about shafts for my Golf and they only got back to me once after sending about 10 emails to them , and everytime I rung I always got an answer machine and never rang me back , gave up in the end

I had a complete new wiring loom made for my car for £900 , mines ok and does the job , I wish I had gone to http://www.bremax.co.uk/ as they did the loom in the M3 I built a few years ago , they do very good work , use Raychem wires , they charge about £2k for a complete loom , He used to do...

The ones who snapped them , what did they then fit

If you have the early gearbox with the gear linkage at the bottom of the box like mine , the shafts are only available to order , about a 10-12 week turnaround , if you have the later box , with the gear linkage on the top of the box they are available off the shelf and are £190 each + vat. Now...

the shaft was made by these http://www.driveshaft.co.uk/

Tell me about it ! just after I started telling people how reliable it is , and how little it needs looking after it starts going t1ts up ! Oh well , its being stripped down now , engine and box out , box back to SWR to sort out the issue I have of it changing gear , hopefully I will get the...

Suspension is now sold. Had a crap rally today , broke another driveshaft , the brand new guaranteed unbreakable one FFS !! So will be on the phone to them monday and see what they have to say about it

how can you tell ?

Front spring Rear spring The bolt spacings don't fit the road car clio as the race cars has Laguna hubs , but it would be easy enough to have the lugs either redrilled and weld a washer in place so it did line up , or cut them off and fit new ones drilled to fit The spacings on these are...

I have just dug out the race car suspension from the attic in the workshop , I'm looking to sell it , I have someone on here inquiring about it so will give them first shout , if they don't want it i'm selling it all for £500 They are just dusty from being stored Cheers Ian

Right got the hub today , stripped the drive flange and bearing out of it , it was quite rusty so bead blasted it , the only mod it needs it to drill out the track rod hole to 16mm to fit the insert in , the ball joint fits in from the top on the laguna and from the bottom on the clio , the...

Yes I'm running the one piece rear discs now as no one knew what I needed to fix it after my bearing collapsed , R sport just told me that the parts were no longer available , and I'm changing bearings quite frequently now , now I know what rear hubs I need i'll fit the laguna ones. Were the...

they are the people I ordered it from , I have given them the numbers cast into it and they are the same as the one they have , just hope they did manage to send them out today so I can get it tomorrow , R sport got back to me and said the proper hubs are available but from france , and have...

Hopefully the laguna hub will turn up tomorrow , yes I know about the insert , just looks like its sleeved down to suit the track rod end , will pop that out ready , had a good look and nothing else seems damaged which is quite surprising , would have thought it would bend the arm before...
