This is from @FPummell build, you can see clearly in this (y)

"Just a chance to let John destroy your pride and joy" :LOL:

Thanks! What type of drill bit do I need? Really struggling to make the slightest of hole so far

Britool hallmark set

And when the car is turned on and on the ground what happens?

Is it the case of drilling holes yourself? Because after some reading about and a bit of a go with picks and what not it seems the only way to do it. Just dont want to damage anything. I have a rebuild kit which comes with a new circlip with holes so no problem once this one is it.

Could just be alignment, get a free check at kwik fit can’t you?

Also roads are banked so pulling left is common, especially if theres something loose the wheels will almost snap to the left, or if theres ruts they can feel like shopping trolley wheels.

inner/outer tie rods, rack bushes, rack shagged, feeling the effect of rubber in the column more so, good shout could be loose or old top mounts, lower ball joints

Take out the valve that connects to the above if you need to drive the car and bung the hole/tube from the inlet.

My loom already had the power and earth for the controller, I just bought a non sport engine loom for the rest of the wiring

Dci rack or convert the 182 to manual quick rack.

These look perfect, just gotta find some in the uk

Worth a shot, will buy one (y) This in particular is just to get a reference as to how much pre load renault use on their racks from the factory. Then when the racks machined for the bigger bolts, I can build up the quick ratio gearing and have a ball park figure to use. Not majorly important...

You know I thought that after I posted lol. I have a set buts its at another house so might just measure the size and buy one off ebay

I want to measure the amount of torque needed to turn the rack but without weld skillz Im a little lost. Will be using a beam style torque wrench. This socket just goes on but it spins. Dont have any imperial sockets to try.

ELF D2 is what I used. It says it on the bottle that its power steering fluid as well as auto gearbox fluid (y)

For this event perhaps a bit before he got the freedom factory. I think the only way to watch them all would be if you were bed ridden for 6 months!

Twice the budget of the first and the lineup is solid, cant wait for this!

Slow progress on the quick rack build, I have lots of different size fire sleeve and colours, most of the hoses and fittings, I had made an order for the power steering hose ends from earls fitting a while back now but they have been on back order from America for ages, estimated that they would...

Wiggins clamps or bust imo :p

I thought you could run both? People run standard shocks with other solid mounts. @Kev@KAM

If you're looking at any rubber flooring as well, I bought a roll and it had this awful smell of chemicals that I dont think is healthy be near for longer than 5 seconds, just to bare in mind!

@MR2FC Have you thought about solid top mounts? Adjustable ones as well? Bc racing do some for a good price, I cant comment on them with just springs because I went to coilovers at the same time, but I know Ive read people say that they dont make the ride harsh or anything so worth a look.

Dont get me wrong it did take a few tries, but very small adjustments needed

Yes pretty much solid, its what they used on the cup racers. There would be no positive reason to use standard bushes for the rack.

Powerflex rack bushes are s**t. These are what you want (y) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-RS-172-182-bagues-rigides-de-cr%C3%A9maill%C3%A8re-steering-rack-solid-bushes/254263624443?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
