Nice to see your getting it out on track. Still getting pestered for the paint code?

would explain how he funds a 911, s4, a mint cup with good seats and a v50r!

Came here just to say this. Ha

Think I remember the build thread of the btcc car from the 306 forum. Am I right in thinking this was the ecosse car? Are you the also the Carl who has the silly low miles rallye?

The point is the Clio is a rattly old French tin box that happens to go round corners pretty darn well. You join an owner's club to buy parts of other like minded fans of said French tin box at lower prices than you would on the open market. what our pikey friend does here is abuse this...

Can't find anything on google, he is sure they are alloy though. There are a set of the grey Mag's for sale too but for 500 Euro's without tyres.

I offered him a swap for mine plus 50 Euros his way. It not so much for the looks, I don't like the Clio on 16's the same way I preferred my 205 gti's on the 14" pepper-pots. May be in my head but I think it handles better.

I enquired about them being magnesium and he told me they were alloy. Did they ever use alloy on the cup cars or were they all Mag?

Take this as you will... I'm 30 now and was once as you are an 18 year old lad with a lust for all things car like. I too ploughed money into a shitter only to look back on that today and think what a dick I was. My advice to you is this. LEAVE the car as is, rag the s**t out of it, crash it...

AND>>> Would they suit this as I want rid of these... I want to go back to 15's. Thoughts??

dear god. What a tool.

A go kart that's faster than my Clio. No thanks.

Less than a tenner from Renault. I had to change mine as it fell apart and the car would not start.

I would say 2.0 degrees is max on a road car. Your not going to use any more than that on the highway. front btw

It's all personal preference really. everyone drives different. what's the car used for? if its road your going to need a compromise setup, if its track only play around with the settings. You don't want huge camber on the road imho.

The wheels responsible for steering the car tend to work best when on the ground. Silly boy! classic reaction.

you have just given me an idea how to adjust the caster on mine, flat out in reverse up a big curb should do the trick nicely! I think this is an interesting thread, I know touring cars ran massive castor to fix some of the inherent problems with Fwd.

Sorry Mt Pink, I think it sounds a bit flat to be honest. Needs a map me thinks.

Being from Llandudno its nice to see these pics, brings back many memories. You would not believe how much I miss my old roads.

Sounds good, you checked to see how much more camber this is giving you on lock? I should expect you would have a fair bit of negative camber on the outside wheel now, should work really well on track and possibly make the car much more stable in the fast stuff with you really being able to load...

Interesting. Having a set of spare arms around i was going to try this on the weekend but the weather was too good to waste. Out of interest how much weight has this added to the steering and if you have accelerated hard out of a slow corner how much snap is there now through the wheel?

I think anything larger than 15's and the handling starts to suffer. I'm currently on 195/50/16 and really want to downsize.

Bet that goes like stink!

My car ain't the best looking car in the world by far. One thing that bugs me though is the bonnet has dents behind the diamond and it pisses me right off (looks like someone with a fat arse landed on the front end of my car. I can only find carbon bonnets for ph2, am going this route as I...

Am i right in saying more caster means the car will straighten up more violently. Dunno how best to explain it... like when your coming out of a corner and the steering wheel auto rotates back to centre. Like a shopping trolly wheel?

The only place I can think of off the top of my head is tweeks.

Ph1 wishbone.

If you decide to do the 225 pulley mod, remember to put the back seats down to the handling matches the increased power.

203600km and counting. And its had a hard life.

Will the pure brace fit with the ktr mounts?
