I spoke to a few people with similar boxes and they say they have the same problem and they overcome it by using the clutch to change from 1st to 2nd , I was doing the same today and as you can see it worked :)

Had a good day today , although we went off the road and got stuck for 45 seconds before being pushed out on the first stage , and suffering a misfire for 2 stages which turned out to be some water in the sparkplugs , we managed to get 10th overall and 4th in class , had a good day and learnt a...

no it hasn't been painted , its more like the volvo in the background , pic was taken on my iphone

Just a quick update , the cars all fixed and ready and I'm doing a rally on sunday in Pembrey race circuit , here's hoping for a better result than the last time out , had the car all stickered up , Won't be taking any stupid risks with the car as I'm also doing the West Cork rally in a...

I have an M3 V8 , and I don't think any other car drinks like it ! the way I drive it , it does about 12 to the gallon lol Thanks , didn't know that

thanks , that's the info I was looking for. Going back to my engine , which is a sealed race engine , I had the top part of the inlet manifold off to change the plugs the other week , and the inlet ports looked like they were CNC machined , all looking the same , is this normal for the race cars ?

i'd like to get my car up to 230-240 hp so was wondering how they had more power to start with , I'm going headwork , cams , pistons and rods and throttle bodies , my car seems to go well now so would be awesome with another 30-40hp

Whats the difference between the 2 engines to give the difference in power

so far yes , I was expecting some teething problems , as you know you can never expect a rally / race car to work out of the box , would have been nice to get further than 2 stages though ! I have spare rear hubs made up ready to fit if we have a failure again

I have had a look and the race car does have larger rear bearings compared to a standard 172/182 , but none of the parts are now available from R Sport , I called them today and they say you have to fit the 172/182 one piece discs and hubs. I damaged the wheel studs extracting them out of the...

I think they fitted thinner spacers to make up for the camber shims they fitted

the race car ones I took off are very thin , much thinner than the 172 ones I fitted back on

if they are Alcon only then they will be expensive , my old 206 cup car had Alcon one piece discs and the front and they were very expensive for what they were , and when I can buy rear discs for the 172 for less than a tenner each , i'll be sticking with them for the small amount of braking...

yes I could do , but if the bearings are the same size I'm not going to bother , i'll use 172 parts , they will be so much easier and cheaper to replace when needed , I did notice yesterday while stripping it down , the stub axle base is thinner to allow for the shims to be fitted without...

Yes mine are separate discs / hubs on the rear as well , the standard clio discs fit on though as I have just fitted them on from the standard axle I have just to get the car mobile again so I can free up my ramp , I think for ease of getting parts , I'm going to fit the standard clio 172 stubs...

My next event will be West Cork , i'll sort out the issue's I had and have a couple of days in Llandow testing it as its only a few miles away from me , not going to bother doing anymore events before cork. Need to change the battery cut off Sort out the hydraulic handbrake , I might fit an...

I don't have the control box anymore , all wiring bar the engine loom is new

uploaded another in car video last night , the second stage that we retired on and you can hear the noise we had from the bearing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEiwqF0RVpU

ok thanks

Tony , you said in post 200 its untrue the amount of times you check yours , then above if they are torqued up with new nuts they should be ok ?? I'm a bit confused with that , what do you do with yours ? I change the bearings when they show a problem , what mileage would 12 hours equate to
