Lol, with respect I built that when I was living at home with no wife and only my c**k to keep. It’s easy to throw all your cash at a car when you’ve nothing else to spend it on.
However as I said, it’s apples and oranges.
But for a sensible budget you could do your Clio with a refresh, and...
Firstly, I know it’s apples and oranges. For that I apologise. But this was still well over double it’s intended power/torque.
But in support of my last response, I built my impreza motor properly which was fed with a GT35R running on Syvecs.
Didn’t get greedy and it was wound back to 576bhp...
Personally I’d go low boost turbo. You know you’ll achieve your power/torque goals.
Just focus on the usual problem areas so things like effective turbocharger support, improved hardwearing for feeds and drains. Go OTT on heat management and cooling.
Turbo motors arrived very effective and...
I was looking at over a grand last year and the best that got to was about £975 fitted.
I was going to buy them at the end of this month anyway ready for spring so was dead chuffed to find a saving like that.
Asked a mate who’s a pretty large scale tyre dealer and he said to snap the deal up...
Just a heads up for the 197/200 or Megane guys, 10% off at Black Circles today.
Life got busy at the end of last year and I barely used the Cayman, so held off to buy tyres this spring. I’ve just got 4 brand new Michelin Cup2s for £823 fully fitted at Tyre-Smart in Witham. Almost £150 cheaper...
Got a chance to have a further look at this today. As said the PPs are a wide seat so with the runners lining up on the door side, they in turn foul the tunnel side.
The runners themselves are too wide to align with the holes on the tunnel side location so the bolts cannot be located anyway...
One other thing if this is your first Trackday, take the following 2 items:
Compressor to pump your tyres back up at the end of the day. You may find you let some air out after your first session as the tyres will heat up far more than they do on the road. The air inside will expand and...
4 pots and 2118s aren’t exactly light either lol.
Just because it happened to be sitting there. I’ve just put a rear AST 5100 on the scales. 3.2kg
Perhaps if I remember I’ll weigh a cup damper/spring when they come off.
Considering everything inside a Clio other than the seats is made from paper and weighs less than a fart I’d say you’ve done alright.
Then factor in you put in a huge chunk of metal in its place and are still 30kg down on a stock car.
Until you go to a T45 cage, GRP panels, plastic windows...
Just my personal opinion.
Don’t bother with drilled discs, they do nothing for performance and are likely to crack. Some plain Brembo HC discs will be perfect.
Add to those a good quality pad. Many people like the Ferodo DS2500, although I prefer the offerings from performance friction such as...
Few little trinkets arrived for WZD yesterday.
Seat belt receptacles for me to progress my Recaro install.
16mm front spacers to suit the 2118s.
And lastly, a cheeky little dutch delivery from AST/Moton. Thought I’d get some detail photos before they go on as they’re unlikely to ever...
They haven't, they had some old 4100 cases about 18 months ago and made a few sets up.
Once they were sold, that's it. They're easy to distinguish as they have the adjusters at the top unlike the inverted items which the adjusters are at the bottom :)I believe the 2000 kit will be the entry...
4100s are no longer available. AST don't make them for the Clio anymore.
The 4100s are non inverted dampers with 22mm shafts
The 5100s are inverted struts with 44mm shafts.
