I'm not saying that its definitely wheelspin. I've given that as an opinion along with the mounts.....

Eh? decreasing the weight, increases the pwr/weight and if anything would increase wheelspin! Talkin out your crack! ;)

^^ Did you miss me saying in the previous post that I said it "might" be the mounts? Geez talk about having a chip on your shoulder.

Sorry I was mistaken about the 4th in the dry. Not a chance, only if the road is greasy. But as has been said b4 it might be a mount or something that is causing it. Sounds like a knock but similar to when the front wheels lose traction.

^^ Is fred not involved with lab tec?

The 182 is heavier and has wider tyres... ;) Could make all the difference. Depends how heavy the driver is as well ;)

I've just said above that the road was wet at the time. You better get running then! ;) Im just wondering whether this is linked to the steering wheel wobble I get at exactly 70mph, and I've been to 3 tyre places that say my wheels are perfectly balanced! :(

Oh ive just noticed you have the slower 172 dave thats why you never experience wheelspin. Too much weight to shift about! ;)

Does anyone then get what feels like wheelspin going into 4th when the road is wet or damp? From recollection it only happens in 4th when the road is greasy or very wet, and only with aggressive shifting.

Thanks for your understanding comments dave, as tactful and friendly as always.....

And the forth gear thing is with a sharp lift of the clutch changing from 3rd to 4th. May be a gearbox or engine mount.

Buy coilovers? lol ;) I wouldnt bother messing around with springs. You dont want them snapping under hard cornering.

^^ Funny people you are.... ;) I've checked the pressures and they were at 34 psi on the front, so ive lowered the pressures to 30psi which seems to have helped a bit but traction is still a prob. The handling seems to have suffered though do the softer sidewalls.Im going to try fitting 205's on...

You can wave to me anytime bigboy! ;) lol

I dont know if he is on here but I saw a 182 cup right behind me on Shields Road at kinning park last night. I think the reg plate was gl something. It looked like "glasgow". Gave the guy a wave as he pulled past me. Good to see another renaultsport owner! Fraser

Ive had mine for nearly 3 years, done almost 36k miles and Ive just had to change the rear tyres! Im on the 3rd set of fronts though. New oil seals and rear disks....

i'd have the mk2 v6 over the r32 anyday. But id have the r32 over the mk1, such was the improvement between the 1st and 2nd versions.

I've had two replaced..... free of charge :)

Give me a nearly new 350Z every time...

And no abs is much better for track work.... ;)

ABS does not save you if you are a bad driver. Yes i've locked up but if you drive sensibly on the road there is really no need for abs IMO.

Hmmm so you could quite easily get a car with 800bhp and less than 800kg with that engine. It would destroy bikes! :D

How much have you lowered ali? remember the cup as std was a touch lower to begin with than the std 172.

What width do you run on the front matt for the road tyres? And do you have an lsd to handle the power better?

Drag tyres for the front? ;)

^^ good price considering all the work thats gone into it and the level of tune the engine is running. You should take the engine out of it though matt and put it in a s1 elise or something. Would be rapid on the 1/4 mile. Late 10's early 11's Id think.

unless he has put down a non refundable deposit....

And as matt says its easier to install anyway.

I would just do what matt did and stick a tt engine in a clio instead of the megane engine. Yeah it may not be from the same manufacturer as your car, but it will run much more power and wont leave its pistons lying all over the road when you up the boost.. ;) Might be cheaper too as its a more...

Well us cup owners get ferrari levels of performance though ali ;)
