I'll not make it mate, cars still in storage and the way this weather going I think it'll be there until the end of March!!..... A lot of the mate were all set for today's one, but the snow soon cancelled that!

I run 2.5 and take the inner edge out of the tyres, so maybe 2 will be the happy medium....

varying conversion factors but using the eibach one I run ........ FRONT 514 lb REAR 600 lb

I ran GAZ GHAs before switching to ASTs. They were standard spring rates and that was my only concern but as Coilovers go I couldnt fault them and they were generally good and handled knockhill well. I believe the bodies are painted now so they don't tarnish after 2 months use and end up...

You don't need ASTs. Times wise there was no massive benefit over mid range coilovers with the correct spring rating....

Still love the look of these, particularly in that colour...... Side stickers don't do it for me though. Being a detailing freak, I appreciate cars that are standard and very clean and for its age, knowing how suseptable to rust those are, that is very nice :up:

i'll have to give them more thought mate. I've had DS2500's before and wasn't a fan, for road yes and possibly a wet track day but that's as far as they would go. George did explain them as being the opposite end of the spectrum to the Ds.1.11s so it sounds like they may be a good choice!

Sorry, car me fuel and passenger 1230kg!

You obviously have f@ck all to do and all day to do it in....... ! Get back to work :grin:

Pads wear evenly, marginal difference between inner and outer. We are all roughly the same at knockhill. Fraser has similar issues with the phase 1 on rc6,s too. They seem to disappear quick. The trophy is certainly heavy and it only ever does runs with passengers in, so car, me, fuel and...

Got that seat fitted yet Connor.....?

Yeah they do mate. Knockhill is particularly hard on brakes. Generally every 3 to 4 track days based on 70ish laps an outing..... Work well, but don't half eat the wheels (powdercoat). I'm still trying to justify the cost of ds1.11s, have heard good things but the rc6's have never let me...

Lol..... I get 200 / 300 miles out a set of RC6's.....:)

Glad to see your still alive :) if you've still got that red VW just bring that up lol

, it tries hard, cheers mate

Is your phase 1 that's in the Calander Mark?

Yeah nothing listed mate..... I think we will mange some sort of French contingent :innocent::up:

A quick update FYI on Knockhills hot hatch track days..... These are Knochills provisional listed events so they may be subject to change. No open days or track nights are listed yet and there will be other track days / nights through private organisers (monster / trackscotland / etc.) as...

No, the Clio is just the weapon of choice for Knockhill (as you'll know). One of the sessions last year got a commentary by the Knockhill marshals in the office as it was like a full on Clio race. In the height of the summer you will find a group of 12 ish guys who come from the west for racing...

You'll get out with plenty of Clios, we had almost 20 in 1 session last year ;). I'll be heading up for the grant rally event Stuart so might see you up there.....

Ps, when it was running it was quick!!

This was seen at the last knockhill outing of the year being towed home..... Have no idea what for, could have been something very simple of course.....

Just you remember to take the trailer on the first trip this time!! :kissingheart:🙈

More track days Sounds like a good plan mate.... I'd hold on to the brackets, you never know what may come up the right price 🙈 lol. Saying that, I've held on to everything that came off the Trophy to put back on it if I decide to part ways with it, so I now have a garage that you can't...

So what's happening with the other engine and the supercharger kit....... ?

Nah just a long drive on a trailer at 60, I'm sure the track time will make up for it :up: ...... I get excited just looking at the photos of your deliveries mate!! The wait, all be it long, and previous disappointments will soon be forgotten :smile:

Can you remember what that's like???? Sorry Andy, couldn't resist 🙈

I'm sure your trip would be easier than mine..... A quick a autoroute check shows me being 370 miles each way and hopefully Le Clio Ba@#ard Rouge will be making an appearance too looking at the progress this last little while:up:🙈

Cheers mate, it has been tucked away in storage since October...... Killing me as on nights like this I could be having it stripped down and all the tedious tasks that take time done!! Reading this just gives me more and more ideas.... I'm thinking of doing a good few track days down south...
