tap it down, it doesn't need to come off. I spent an age trying to get it off, then realiased it just needs tapping down over the spindle

Next day when I ordered at lunchtime

Stupid seller, unless it was a trader

Some pictures from the track day at Bedford on 28th February. Such a fun track, great for beginners or people like me who aren't that quick! However, the fun was cut short as the day before the car was suffering from a strange vibration, on way to Bedford it had gone but I'd already...

Looks snapped

With the cat, I tried for ages to get the seized bolts out, in the end I slipped a garage £10 to burn the out with the oxy and then refitting is easy enough. With the bonnet it must have come off at the other end. And you pull the cable through?

You sure it isn't leaking from above and pooling there?

More like £25, compared to Goodridge eBay prices

I went for these, fitting well no issues and far cheaper

RENAULT CLIO Left Tie Rod Axle Joint FTR5277 is what I used - The ebay title makes me think they are sided but I just used two FTR5277

I think they are rears?

Neither of those part numbers match?

Just change the top bolt of the suspension strut, it is the camber setting that is difficult to get right

Just tap it down over the spindle, I had the same issue. Use a socket and tap down

At the last Bedford track day, I rocked up during the briefing, signed on, walked into the briefing and heard "don't fight in the pit lane!" Was then handed my band and let out for the day. I'm sure a lot of people arrive near the cut off time, however, will they not allow camping on the Friday?

Can get them in eBay, 33cm if I remember correctly

When my commute got too long I took the train and bought an iPad. Some times, it is a better place to be than sat in a car.

You can cut out the rubber and fit a Powerflex bush into the mount

Listed as 16th on Ace Cafe website, was hoping to come along but the wife is going out :(

About £130 for the brake parts, rear shocks are quite cheap. Could be about £90 of labour which isn't terrible - not bad when you consider VAT and profit on top

Thanks, just spoke to Greenlight who want £51 to cancel a £279 policy which is 8 days old. May as well keep it!

Keep thinking of selling the Clio. The wife hates it, we've a new car on the way and I can't justify the costs of trackdays at the moment. Both front and rear bumpers are marked, the middle dash plastics have reacted to something and the steering wheel has the right thumb grip damaged. It has...

That isn't the center mount?

It should have a turbo with the plates! Fitted the vibra technics this morning, what a ball ache the gearbox one was. Didn't realise it needed tapping into place to get over the stud. Play Doh works to hold the bolts in place. Took it off for alignment this afternoon and found the diff still...

Thanks @NorthloopCup Are non cup wishbones the same length, I've measured up to the ball joint and they are the same length. Is the ball joint hole in another place on noncup bones but the wishbone remains the same piece of metal? Will check out the struts as they were new Renault items.

Just had my 172 cup set up the front camber is -1.59/-0.20 and the caster is 3.16/2.27. The car has new standard shocks with cooksports on F1s rather than turinis. help!

I have the polybush you can fit for £5 delivered if you wanted to go down that route.

Not used it mate, drove it back from the MOT in August, 8 miles away and it's done probably 5 miles! The few times its been to the pub or to Tesco, the vibration wasn't noticeable! Off for geometry on Friday and that'll be the furthest its gone since Bedford last February- to give you an idea...

Me neither, but it hid the exposed damage from the MOT tester and I think it looks better with the damage hidden! Set of Vibra Technic Mounts turned up today, after I found I could move the engine by hand!
