Yes thanks Pete the car had good potential without the 3rd and then 4th gear issue. Not a disclaimer just so people who don't read the forum and facebook can understand what actually happened. I respect your opinion but don't agree with you myself, Thankfully I have the data which shows me...

Video from the weekend http://youtu.be/c-do87GIs8c

Haha thanks Dave just one of those things unfortunately seems best just to put it behind and move on :) Yes its a real bug isn't it lol! Very kind and I look forward to taking you up on it at some point

Thanks Andy :) Unfortunately i'd need to rip the other engine up for bits anyway so probably not ideally what I need but thanks for letting me know! Ahhh sounds good thanks Liam :) Hi mate haha yes I remember Russ's not going to plan, If you could that would be appreciated just trying to get a...

Also can anyone recommend a gearbox place with experience of the JC5 box and also fitting the grippers?

Well done Dave cracking weekend for you boys :) Look forward to seeing how you and the car progress next year! If you ever need anything you know where I am

Video is uploading now should be done by the time I get in tonight so I will get it up :) Haha I think my mate was trying to be very careful obviously welding it with the gearbox all in one piece we were both laughing at the aesthetics :) Thanks buddy! Ahh great stuff and yes just looked at...

Yeah bit of a bad afternoon! On the first lap of the race I was crunching into 3rd so was having to clutch down and then let the revs drop before engaging as rev matching wasn't helping. This also developed onto 4th gear aswell. I thought when I was out there it was just the syncro's, I...

Well done Russ was a good weekend for you glad the car went well for you :) look forward to seeing you out racing again soon!

I went off at Druids thankfully the gravel trap works well :) 6 clios in a line for the first race with me at the front of them lets hope it stays that way ;)

Thanks guys :) Had a pretty good day really! A full days testing apparently is only 4 sessions and I refused to do the 2nd one as a Porsche had dropped fluid the whole way round the track on the racing line so it was pointless going out. Other than that I worked through a few bits and tried...

All sorted and arrived at Oulton :) The Clio was on the dyno today for a quick mid season check over and did 205BHP which I'm really happy with on the RS Tuning rollers especially as it's the same engine spec as last year just we did the cam timing properly this year ;) (it only made 176bhp last...

Re: Road/Track 172 Have you got cams Neil?

Haha sorry ;) just pretend I didn't say anything!

5.4 bar is just less than 80psi which is what my standard oil pump does just for your reference Ian

Have you done a write up for the second race at Cadwell yet? I certainly dont remember reading it anywhere

I'm sure you'll have a good weekend Dave! Yes I can't wait either! Took me 3 hours to get to sleep last night and thats 4 days before the race lol! I'm like a little kid Haha PMSL! I'll do my best to man up, it's fairly difficult with pansies like you as friends ;)

Best of luck Ian

I've only watched a bit of the video and to me it seems he is a very good driver and also a very good car as thats a quick time around Oulton! For your reference Dave, Ian's car which was on Pole and Won the CSCC race at Oulton last weekend did a 1.57 which in my opinion is a bloody quick lap...

Look forward to seeing whoever can make it :) Make sure you come and say hello!

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Yes Sonny it certainly seemed to be going really well :)

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Ah I see mate :) 650IB is pretty stiff in a 1-1 motion ratio (Coilover rear) but as I say Mark knows his stuff so I have no doubt he's correct! Mine runs softer than that but its an area I have thought about playing around with but its just a matter of...

How did they adjust the rear camber, Rear toe and front Camber?

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Great stuff mate :) Your in good hands with Mark! I'm guessing from 650IB you are running the rear spring in the standard location?

It certainly looks a cracker from the video I saw :)

LOL! Epic car, Would be a very interesting project! Talking of 106's wait until you see the one we are racing against at the weekend! It certainly has it positives ;)

Yes boss definitely :) I need it for work anyway as I sometimes end up having to drive customers cars on test days so comes in handy

Lol :)

Haha I don't mind at all mate :) Spam Tony's alternately ;)
