I drove it yesterday so I can report back that indeed mine was sticking at end of journey, and its quite loose to begin with.

You'll kick her out and cry, eat ice cream and watch rom coms all day, not having any time to work on the car?

@plenty Great stuff. What you said 'it never threatens to bite or do anything unexpected, but it eggs you on and invites you to push harder' Is pretty much how I could I sum mine up and its a completely different setup! When they have the right parts they go very well, some trial and error as...

@1985michael182 Scenic doesnt use any washers ;)

What can happen is that the washer stays in the disc so it just looks like an intergral part.

Shouldnt of touched the stub bolts to change discs and pads. This just looks like another case of forget the washer

Garage did the work? Washer behind disc??

Needs 60mm spacers on rears

Too thin

Any one done this? Havnt had a look my self yet, thinking if you could fit non sport brackets then would be simple enough.

I havnt driven it in a bit mate 😄 Will be on the road in a couple days though, but I can tell you I dont have the heat shield between the cat and further into the drive its a lot stiffer, that was in mild weather.

Im not sure how much they charge for doing them custom but its just m8 standoff, different ones on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-Standoff-Collar-Spacers-Bonnet-Raisers-M5-M6-M8-M10-M12/114126718092?hash=item1a927b848c:g:cJ4AAOSwmUhdHgGF

I used a couple washers, probably 4mm drop, makes a lot of difference.

If 'It not being broken' counts as a mod then thats mine. A sorted and fresh clio, I dont think ive ever wanted that so bad since owning a clio for so long.

Couldnt say, wasnt much on both but maybe 10K+ miles. The nylon ones are night and day. I wrote about this in another thread recently.

They wont last long mate. Everyone raves about them when they first fit them because they make a big difference but they just lose their strength

You mean solid nylon bushes?

Very cool... 😄 Makes me want a/c again, Im wondering if you can fit non sport alt brackets for epas and a/c.

Pry between the rubber and the plastic bearing and spray grease in here, worth a shot

Take it out and have a look. If you want to properly look at it the column will have to come out, it’s not difficult just fiddly. You can undo the lower uj bolt from in the car, doesnt take long. You are perhaps not getting the grease into the right area, its like a plastic bearing type thing...

@Louis @dann2707 @-Jamie- Long story short. My epas decided to s**t itself and had tons of flex, possibly due to the ecu being the culprit and not reading the torque sensors correctly. So the car would go everywhere! I took epas off and fit manual column and apart from barely being able to...

Ok so long story but ad08rs arnt bad. Thats all im saying... o_O

What about brown/gold like this.

Not impossible, in fact its great in some ways, but I wouldnt want to be at race pace for long periods of time. And I was hinting at the caster angle you had, mine is at 4.7 and although very stable and great feel, I prefer to save my energy. I have a quick ratio rack as well which would add to...

Just re reading your thread.. Being a chassis engineer, do you have books you can recommend? I have race car vehicle dynamics, but I was wondering if theres anything else I can read thats more about the process and steps of desinging the car?

Have fun using manual steering with that 😄

This is the easiest way to obtain more (link). Then theres wishbone bushings that you can use, I use powerflex adjustable wishbone bushings although mine are set only for camber you can dial in more caster with them (but less camber and changes other geomtry) There are loads of ways of doing...

I missed this live! Sounds as good as last time

Abs rings all right? Just throwing things out there..
