    How much negative camber?

    iirc 1 degree will move the top of the wheel in by 1cm. Go measure how much it needs to move by and go with that. I had some 10mm hub spacers fitted with camber shims with (far as i'm aware) standard bolts so you should be fine

    Grinding Noise On Braking

    Cant remeber if there's a backing plate behind the discs on these but if there is try bending it away form the disc.. Had a similar problem on a BMW at work and that's all it needed. Or take the brakes apart and check there isn't anything stuck in the caliper like a stone or something. Could...

    Whys it like this?

    It'll be your battery starting to feel the cold, have it checked out. We have a bit of kit at work for this, enter the battery ratings and it says if it's fubard or dying or fine

    Engine Braking

    If you coast off throttle for 500 yards you use zero fuel except a little bit when you're blipping it... Or drive 300 of that 500 yards then brake for 200 you're using fuel and brakes where as the former uses niether

    Engine Braking

    How do people find it hard to heel and toe in a Clio? Pedals are perfect for it! I always rev match/heel and toe when slowing down. Yes, I get it wrong time to time but it's a sense of achievement when I get it spot on!

    172 cup failed mot

    You could try a good half hour thrashing round some country lanes to get everything piping hot then it might pass. It's been known to work before with these cars. Plus you second fast idle was a lot closer to passing so stands to reason, get it hotter and it might pass

    Fitting decat, help!

    It is as simple as a few bolts. Check if your current exhaust still has the olive joint joining the cat and centre section or if it's been sleeved already . Then buy a olive joint decat or a sleeve fit decat. Undo do the lambda sensor, unbolt each end taking note of the order the...

    To run abs or not on race car

    Personal preference.. I'd be getting rid but you need a bias valve that goes to something like 95/5 front/rear

    Converting 172 ABS setup to Cup Setup

    I think there's a clause in mot laws that if a car is obviously modified for track/race/rally use some things like abs and airbags get some more leniency

    Clio port & polished inlet and 65mm throttleboddie

    Stock manifold is also very good and used on the cup racer cars iirc. No need to spend money there either! If you wanna spend money get an RS2 manifold and take it to RS tuning.. You'll be around 190 bhp ish then

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Finished sanding my headlight, Only one was faded to start with but still took a while. 600,800,1200,2000 then 2500 then some super resin polish. Yes it needs some sort of better rubbing compound to make it perfect but all done by hand with stuff I had laying around. Started with this; After...

    Tyre Choice

    Try looking at Federal 595 RSR. I have them on mine (yet to track it) but went out with chip at bedford with the same tyres on. On track they were spot on and on the road I find them great, even in the wet they are fine. Cheap too! I've also used Toyo T1R's on a 2 litre track **** Corsa and to...

    Age old tyre question?

    Which tyres are you looking at? I think I'm want potenza re050a's next

    different tyre widths

    I'd fit them if you already have some. Probably fit better. If the wheel is 7" or more wide then I wouldn't though

    Alternate Tyre sizes

    Wheels on the same axle have to have the same size tyres, Front axle can be different to rears. Which ever is cheaper to be fair haha

    Aftermarket head unit help?

    It'll be the wires behind the headunit (lots of them!!!) they bunch up if you just try pushing the unit in. Remove the dash top, 3 screws where the screen vents are. a few behind the dash trim panels and 2 under the steering wheel cowling. Then you can see down and move all the wires as you push...
