Without epoxy it came loose, with epoxy it didn't.

GroupB are expensive. I've also heard of them doing things that aren't required.

If you ask for custom rates they should valve them accordingly.

That will partly be the damping as well. I would go 8kg all around and try and save some weight. If you really wanted you could get some 9s on the front but it might end up too hard.

I ran 7kg/5kg on the ASTs with the PMS stiffened rear beam and a lot of weight taken out, especially over the front. I was at 900kg with fuel. Also the ASTs have outboard rear coilovers so my 5kg springs were equivalent to 8kg inboard springs like the BCs have. It would have been better around...

It does, it rides nicely too. I phoned Curtis at AST not long ago to give him feedback as they were a development set with the different pistons. I would go for the 8kg springs front and rear. Have you got a rear ARB fitted already?

I do love diamond white. I prefer it to a lot of the more modern shades of white. Diamond is a classic!

Just spoke to Curtis about another matter. Not had a problem getting through to him on the office number 01242 236168 My Megane coilovers took about 5-6weeks but they were a custom order.

Making good progress on the welding and you've done a great job on that seat you had off me. Are you still using the paint as well? Wish I'd have been able to store my blue pop somewhere. That was such a mint shell.

Got some professional photos done, nice to see it corners nice and flat, the suspension mods are obviously working. Wouldn't mind getting the R26 rear axle though with the extra rear ARB I haven't got now and I believe the R26 runs bigger bearings in the rear discs too which I suspect will last...

Looks great! I do miss my Clio :cry: Hopefully I'll be able to go halves on another with a friend at some point as a dedicated track car, I need the sound of ITBs back in my life lol. I don't know how you have secured the solderless nipple on the throttle cable but I used epoxy on mine in...

Tbh 340-350 is my target. The biggest thing is more torque for me, it held back because of the standard rods. I can get steel rods for a very good price and keep the standard pistons. I'm also working on some cams that should give the same gains with a bit better spool and more top end than...

Looking at getting some bits for more power on mine over the winter. What power is the fuel system good for?

Try the Milltek exhaust with the remote valve if you can get one for the RS3. I've heard one on a new S3 and it sounds lovely.

ASTs are great. I'm running the DDP pistons which are the same technology as the DFV on Ohlins. I've got them set to soft and on the road it rides lovely, on track it feels plenty stiff enough which I assume is down to how the pistons work.

Went quite well at Donny, no mechanical issues. NS2R performed reasonably well, grip levels were reasonable and on a par with RSR. Wear was nice and even. Performance dropped off after a few laps but the drop off wasn't too sharp. I wouldn't mind a bit more power! 😂 I also drove the...

I had the same issue. Only one solution...Better suspension

It was nice to meet you Dave. Had a great day! Weather was awesome, track never seemed too busy and the car performed faultlessly.

Tried out the NS2R on my Megane. I'm running the 120 track compound and so far so good, they wear well and are progressive when they start to go off. They don't suffer from shoulder wear like the RSR.

Awesome!

It felt quicker around Oulton. Much quicker tbh.

Thanks mate :cool: If Saturday goes well I'll hopefully have some good photos of it at Donny in it's natural habitat.

Off-red or red with too much white?

Wouldn't suit Andy @SharkyUK , its the wrong shade! Looks too red :P

Buckley Tyres in...Buckley... They're really good there. £50 for camber, caster and toe adjustment. £30 for just toe.

Thanks chaps! @JamesBryan Weather is looking good for the weekend. I've got my boy with me, the rest of the family aren't coming so it'll mean juggling looking after him between me and my mate doing sessions. @Gray there's a few off here doing it, if you're that close then pop down. Be good to...

So getting the car ready for its shakedown at Tunerfest North on Saturday at Oulton Park I did the following Full front end refresh with upgrades including Track Focus steering rack bush, 22mm cup racer ARB, Powerflex camber and caster adjustable bushes set to max. Then I had the camber set to...

Nice update! Looking forward to see what it makes with the ITBs on.

I do love a Ph1, it'll go like stink with 270-280!

Anglesey is quite an understeery track...apart from church :D seen a few people lose it there, especially RWD cars. Its great in the Clio, let the back end go out and keep it on the power. Another common one is people not slowing down enough going into Rocket Most spectacular incident has to...
