I wouldn't go without insurance.
Risk being bankrupt if something unlikely happens or pay the premium to be covered. Easy choice for me to make to be honest.
Cor bet some of them go very very well indeed!
How much do MK1s weigh? What can they realistically be down to?
Basically I should just ask you what your one weighs lol
I know I've been reading ;)
Sure it'll be epic once done.
I didn't want to touch internals or go for anything too crazy. I've had enough spending money on this car now lol. Want it to be reliable so I can enjoy it for a long long time without having to do anything.
Oh cool. Yeah makes sense. I'm now thinking I might need to hold off on the corner weighting until I'm done with the weight saving.
Mine already has ITBs :) Been fitted since October. However it was such a rush before my ring trip, Mike wasn't able to get it on the Dyno to finish off the...
Oh I think he did mention that too actually. You having Geo and corner weighting done?
Had my car back for 3 weeks now but been pottering around below 4k rpm until I can get the map finished by Mike Woodford.
That's right yeah. I could fit all the bits at home (with help from my mate) but just want to make sure it's all set up properly :)
Guess it's not even worth doing corner weighting until I've finally finished taking things out though. But don't think there's much more to go.
I've sent them...
When I got mine off ECP. I did a few checks and asked a few guys on here to be sure.
Looking back at my orders I purchased the "SNR Wheel Bearing Kit" order number "628745210"
Just having a look on their site, they look seriously impressive. Didn't realize they were the team involved with Tom Ingram.
I'm in Croydon mate. But looks like it could be well worth the journey to these guys as you say.
I was just about to say isn't that the TG location, then I finished reading your comment lol.
Thanks, I'll send an enquiry to them. Although still a little bit far to travel without getting the trailer out. But not impossible.
Why do you want to do this out of interest?
I had the same plans for mine, but concluded that it was more hassle than needed.
My bumper is a simple 3 bolts now. 2 from the underneath (which even if aero catching you'd probably need to keep anyway) and one up by the grill.
I did think that originally. My mate George took his there and is very impressed with the results.
But it's just too much hassle for me. It's a good 2.5 drive. In a car which isn't technically road legal and very very uncomfortable.
Or trailering it, which means getting the trailer out blah...
Abbey Motorsport is the sort of thing I was looking for. Only 20 minutes from me, so very easy to go back and forth if need be and to check/adjust things.
Would be good to know if they have any experience in Clios.
If you wouldn't mind asking him then that would be great thanks. If not I'll...
