I find Autoglym hard work tbh.

Hi. I also went to SRR on Saturday. What a beautiful hot day! Total contrast to last years 3 degrees Ice Age event. I decided to put my poor little battered Williams on the dyno again: It was 222.5 at the Emerald dyno last time, but 214+ is a damn good figure anyway for a 930kg-odd daily...

Not yet. Was a great, very hot, day: Not bad for an old daily driven N/A Mk1 Clio.

It burbled past, possible ITB noise? I just spotted what I think were KTR bucket seats. Lowered. Sounded good.

I agree!

The old Sodemo F7R's used to make about 300bhp iirc. Surely the more modern F4R can manage that?

Cool. So I will hit 192 mph with a JC5 144 at top RPM :)

Nope. Going to leave it and see how it copes.

I've had some 500lb springs made for my Williams by Faulkner Springs for my KW v2 coilovers. I find, although they are comfy, the springs are a bit lame. I know others think they are a bit too soft too. Will update with my findings in a while when I fit them tomorrow :)

Scum everywhere :( People have 'played' with my car on more than one occasion.

Refill & bleed powersteering fluid? Check tyre pressures are equal, front and rear. Test the dampers, one may have leaked a little. When you had the steering rack done, did you use new inner and outer track rods on both sides? Check the mounting points for the ARB and all the bushes. Ensure...

http://www.dfaulknersprings.com/index.htm I am having some made to replace the utter s**t KW springs, which are apparently made of jelly.

With too much you'll wheelspin more, and unless your car rolls like a barge, you wont get the full benefit of say, 3.0 degrees, as in the bends the tyre contact patch will still not be optimal. 1.5 - 2.0 Is fine. I try various amounts and see what it does, but if you don't have the know-how/kit...

http://www.nitron.co.uk/products_springs.htm There's the Nitron link to a page with handy spreadsheets. Give very useful info on types of 60mm ID springs they supply. Faulkners do specially made springs in various colours and can for and extra fee, mark the springs with text of your choice. I...

I have not seen anywhere that does those springs on the KW website? I have sourced two places that will do the same type of spring. Nitron have a list on a spreadsheet for 60mmID / 170mmFL springs at loads of different rates, but for two springs for the front it works out about £138+postage inc...

Too much roll for me. Nice quality though and quite comfortable, but unless I go 'in slow, out fast', they don't cope as well as some more basic setups I've had.

Lol dan... Toast, I used the following site for a quote on much beefier springs: http://www.nitron.co.uk/products_springs.htm The Willy ones use 170mm length, 60Nm and 60 ID springs on the font as standard on the KW v2 kit. They equate to about 340 lb/inch springs which is about the...

I go straight to their German branch when wanting info, they get back within an hour usually.

Anyone else find their KW V2's too soft and not good at handling sudden inputs (i.e. too much roll)? Great kit, but just a tad...mild? Wanted more for £950 tbh. Dont want to pay £160 for harder front springs. KW have asked me to complete a report for them regarding my issues, but I...

K I think I need 2.5" ID, preferably 7"...for future reference. Going to use 350lb or 375lb. I think the ones on there at mo are 160lb.

I like the quality, but for me the KW V2's are too soft, allowing too much roll when on the case. The spring poundage does not match the higher damper settings very well. This is made worse with my new tyres, which I don't like as the sidewall sucks (AD08's) even with higher tyre pressures. I...

Something is damaged. Wishbone, subframe, track rod/end, strut, wheel. Does it have a diff? Did the steering wheel go off centre after the knock?

How are your track rod inners and outers? And wishbone lower ball joints? If the ball joints are worn the tracking may be hard to get right, and you'll have play in steering.

Oh, and another thing. Those Advan AD08's have a softer sidewall than I am used too it seems, so that does not help.

I have KW V2's on my Williams, damper hand height adjustable, with slot for camber adjustment too. They come with helper springs. Whilst these are nice and all for pootling about, I find they give too much initial 'play' in quick corners, so it roles too much. With previous suspension...

Nice looking naples :) CS sticker on back window at top, following another black Clio. Coming from Park Gate...me chasing in Williams beastie :)

ff=Full Fat (aircon etc)

I do the same tbh.

Ph1 172 is a good way to go. Can get Williams's for that money but you will spend the same again usually getting them reliable. My N/A Williams is at 222+ bhp now but I know I would never get back the money I've spent if I sold it, so I am just enjoying it and will keep.

The F4R is not a bored out F7P engine, and neither is the 2.0L F7R engine. The F4R is a different engine, just with a similarities to a couple of the F7R variants. If you know what you are doing, a stripped Mk1 Clio Valver with an F4R engine conversion is quite a good way to go. Power to...
