Re: Clio turbo out at bedford (inc following Mikes ITB car and a huge 100mph+ sideway Nice vids Chip probably more exciting than the Top gear i'm about to watch lol! Well held on the slide and getting going again. The camera views are mint :)

A like minded appreciation ;) lol

Completely nuts ;)

My R27 was shocking on fuel but so was my 182 for the few weeks I drove it on the roads!

Awesome stuff Mike :) Best of luck with it! I'm sure you'll manage it

Will the AST's be okay with those reg's Pete as it says must retain original suspension mountings? Just because of the rear coilover, I know that reg is in the hillclimb section of the bluebook and they aren't allowed to run a rear coilover on the clio's

Great stuff nice one Dan :)

Yes I'm going to try a set on my bonnet when I swap over to the new one :) Haha PMSL! ;)

Yes I use those plates on the aero catches I have on my bumper much better than the nuts/washers :)

I have been hearing about it since October and it sounds very interesting but I need a complete car before deciding what I'm doing for the season :) Doubt it, really enjoyed the races last season and like the chaps we raced with so I imagine I will stick with the Tintops for 2013

Great stuff Pete I hope it all goes well and I will try and come along to watch/help at Rockingham

That would be great Andy :)! Thank you yes it's been a crazy year but hopefully this season will go well! I will certainly be trying to keep it mint

Thanks guys :) Don't worry Andy it will be getting thrashed when its back on track!

Only time will tell :) Thanks Mark, yes it certainly stands out :)

Thanks mate :) Hope yours is going well! Yeah to me it's important :) You wouldn't turn upto a business meeting in trainers and a hoody so why turn upto a race meeting with rusty bits lol! If it weren't all in orange it wouldn't stand out quite so much :o

Thanks Phil :), very kind of you to say so! Hopefully I haven't let anything slip through the net Lol me too but anything can happen at the end of the day its a racecar but while I was rebuilding it would of been a shame not to do everything nicely and much easier to keep everything clean and...

Jamsport sell a couple of kit's, Hi-spec or comp brake do one, TDF do one and you can also get the 197 Brembo's to fit under the 16"s

Thanks everyone yes Simon and the chaps at Sprayshack have done an awesome job on it and i'm looking forward to seeing it! Thanks again Russ couldn't have done what we did yesterday without your help :) Pleasure with the pizza and yes I realised about 30 mins after you left, its still in the...

The strut bolts act as a clamping force on the strut and will stop the camber from being adjusted. Slacken off the bottom bolt and then put the camber bolt in, push the hub away from you which using a spanner on the camber bolt (not the nut, 18mm rings a bell) and then you will see the hub move...

Have you slackened off the bottom strut bolt?

Thanks guys very kind of you to say :) I'm really happy with it and have been amazed by how little time it's taking to put back together. I'm very excited to drive it especially in anger and see how it performs. Obviously not as much has been changed that I planned to but I need to focus on...

I've just gone down to the garage and checked and it is definitely M14X1.5, no its measured in mm :)

M14x1.5 on the front struts from memory Pete

Update time!! Right so as I showed a few days ago I collected the shell on Monday after it had spent the weekend drying after painting. While there it had the new seat rails fitted at the correct spacing apart which now gives much more flexibility, a few areas of missing welds on the cage were...

Call Adam on 01902439264 he is great and very cheap! Normally engaged but worth calling back :)

Yes good point! Oh well AST keep them in stock as a mate had to order some too and they arrived next day :)

I presume you've tried threadlock and it's not working? It didn't on mine :( I might try superglue LOL

Epic stuff Chip :)! I can just tell you will take me out in it and i'm going to have to take back that I don't like turbo'd clios lol Great work as ever

All sounds great Pete :) I had a top mount nut the same last season, i've not worked out what i'm going to do to stop it yet! As you know i'm keeping my options open at the moment for where i'm racing this season so will be good to see how Snetterton goes for you
