Tomorrow should be fine mate yea, what time you thinking?

Whats the score with the timed/chronos trackdays in relation to these TD insurance policies the likes of Chaucer & Morris offer? Don't they specify the event musn't be timed/competitive etc similar to a road car policy? In which case if all TDOs adopted the same format, wouldn't this...

Makes sense now lol. Just Mark Fish on those sort of rates iirc ;)

All sorted. Let me know when you want to head over dude. Camel when you comin over?

£1800 just to renew the timing gear and refit?

Mike what don't you think looks.right mate? Its only the lower metal bush thats any different. If you mean the top hats, they look to be the right ones.

So presumably someone could bring a litigation action against you for personal injury &/or property damage irrespective of an event being competitive/non competitive? Guessing the full blown motorsport policies cover this kind of indemnity similar to a PLI policy?

Be interesting to hear a little more on the verdict. What's the legal standpoint for participants in timed/competitive events where there's a greater likelihood of contact? Could an individual wind up in the exact same situation of being sued for damages to another participants vehicle, or...

Who fixed it - was it Gavin with his special resin?

Guessing from the exhaust & hubs you're going for the sadev box aswell? Very nice :)

Why did you have to trim the outlet on the back of the duct?

Another classic cliosport thread.

Danny Winstanleys isnt it? He did alright in his r300 today at oulton.

Genuine thread? :eek:

Burnouts in a Clio - because helmet? :headno:

Were the bearings and the carriers both in spec when they were first fitted? Could one side being even slightly slack have accelerated the wear you're seeing now? Unlucky with the off dude, thankful you were able to scrub a bit of speed off. Hopefully fixing the beam shoud sort the odd handling...

Shhhh, its a secret! Cool, cheers :)

Any pics of the not so secret bunker?

Looking good Joe :)

Fair comment, mine were also a fairly worn set so coupled with my lack of talent was finding the back end a little nervy - imagine they'd be very 'interesting' in the damp. :p Pressures you'd suggested seemed spot on too Fred - cheers. They warmed around 4deg like you suggested. Be...

Yep, can see where you're coming from. :) That said even with the steel nuts, Rsport suggest the studs are replaced each season as a precautionary measure to counter any stretch that may have weakened them.

Would it be as much of an issue on 1.25 pitch? Totally agree on a coarser pitch. That said i've stuck with the steel Rsport nuts as they were all still pretty snug. Defo worth getting a cordless impact wrench for the 1.25 pitch. Such a ball ache winding them on/off by hand! :banghead:

Not sure Si, they do look similar. Seems odd they don't offer the three sizes if it is AI Tech though. 68mm for the front hub if youre not using spacers and 86mm for the front for 'up to' a 25mm spacer and the rear hub if youre running 34mm length nuts. Imagine the 100mm would jut beyond the...

Ran the A I Tech studs at Oulton on Wed - none of them untorqued and have the option of an M12*1.25 output instead of 1.5. They're decent IMO.

Saw you were running these - how did you find them James?

Lol, loving the c-c-c-closeup. Did the wheel fall off because of the lack of brembos? Nice pics, any of the white 172 with grey rims?

But with reference to Morgans earlier comment, thats surely along the same lines of 'no one bar the specialist outfits should attempt to change a cambelt'? Can see what you're hinting at hence my Darwin comment, but a lot of the good intentioned reasoning comes across as being overly paranoid...

Sorry Rob, i don't follow. What's there not to get? So he has to spend all of about 2 minutes taking the precautionary measure of drying the plug contacts afterwards - its surely a total none issue? What about the forum users who spend hours polishing/detailing their cars? By your logic above...

Of course, what do the likes Hal and Ian Speedy know anyhow? A little stray water in the plug - big deal. Its hardly the end of the world so why be so melodramatic about it? Better not change any cambelts Hal - the sky might fall down! This forum never ceases to astound.

Renaultsport 'did' offer a teflon bush for the rear beam. Not sure on pricing/availability compared to the pms spherical bearing kit though.
