Without a shim you would risk pushing a piston too far with the pads low. But a shim that can't come lose is just like having a thicker pad or backing. Can't find anything on t'interweb.

Looking at potential discs and solutions for a cheap AP Racing 4 pot caliper for 1*2 Clios. One in particular would involve using a disc 2mm thinner than the caliper was intended for. I can't see an issue with having a 1mm shim behind each pad or am I missing something?

RS Tuning do drive in/drive out cam packages.

My preference is to run softer springs with stiffer roll bars so you don't compromise comfort as much. But on a track car you can run stiffer springs so essentially you don't need a stiffer roll bar. However some tracks differ and will make a car naturally understeer or oversteer so an...

You could try asking Jamsport

You can get second hand ITBs and a standalone ECU including fitting and mapping for the same price as the RS2+mapping. You'll see an extra 10bhp-ish and a bit more torque. But you need supporting mods such as a smaller rad, bonnet pins. And you lose out on the standard ECU. Then again the RS2...

Just read through the thread. Great work! Love all the custom parts. The RS2 inlet seems to be working well with the engine modifications too.

Looking awesome Chris! My old rims?

I've got et35 on mine. No issues. You could probably do 30 ok too (its the rear that's the problem)

It shouldn't make any difference to the ride.

Might have to invest in a set.

I can't imagine the Cooksport springs being much different to the MF springs, perhaps a bit harder.

I've noticed trophy users get them revalved. Any reason for thst?

I'll get some made in 7010.

So its because of people's perceptions of what would happen. Yet thinner aluminium is used to make commercial aircraft. That's fair enough :)

I've noticed the rear hub spacers look like steel in the photos. Why is this when other cars I've fitted spacers to use aluminium?

My ktec exhaust has a sleeved joint at the front so it suits ph1 and ph2

Ditch the standard alloys for some 15s. Cheaper tyres, less weight, better acceleration and IMO better handling. The Piper cams give similar results to the 438 but are £200-250 cheaper. Both will give you a realistic 185bhp or thereabouts

Look forward to seeing this in a few of weeks. Might sway me to reconsider ITBs.

I'd get a decent diesel you don't mind abusing for work and keep the Clio. I'd leave the boxter for a while to see how finances are. I run 3 cars and I hate it. Always buying fuel, paying tax, insurance and mot. Servicing. And on the Clio getting 'improvements'.

I think the 86 have a stiffer sidewall than the 82 as they can take more loading. I'd go for the 195s for a wet tyre rather than 205s. And run 205 in the dry.

I'd put money on it being closer to 185.

I thought they were still decent? They make the shocks for FK too.

It's possible yes but they are a much smaller diameter than standard. I'd be worried about one failing.

Bolts are maxed out at 1.83 degrees. Need more camber :)

Currently on new cup shocks and Cooksport springs, its nice on the road but on track I'd like a little more from it without going to coilovers. Are the Koni shocks a decent improvement over Cup shocks? They have damping adjustment which would be useful for track.

F***ing Dutch! How much is max combined then for each? Tbh I want 3 degrees of camber bang on so I need an extra 1.1 degrees or thereabouts. If that'll give me an extra degree of caster I'll be happy enough. Just have a play around and see I guess.

Depends on the torque spread. I've seen the graph of an engine on Catcams 423 for example and it doesn't really start doing anything until about 6k rpm. Guess its like driving a Honda.
