When the rod bolts are done up tight how can there be any space for the big end bearings to actually spin? Would have thought it would be so tightly clamped into place? Genuine question by the way.

Keep us updated with lots of photos!

That's exactly what I want but not paying that for it! The wire isn't needed anyway. It'll only be squished into the boss. Will try one of those normal ones from Maplins first. For a massive 60p or whatever it is lol.

FLOL is it really £11 for a resistor from K-Tec??

Never really thought about it to be honest actually. Surely just a little bit open would be enough then. Rather than letting all the dust blow in lol.

Lovely colour!

Why are the windows open!!??

Oh my. Some people literally have no brains. 170 mph around cars....Unbelievable!!

I'd say about £3500 to be honest. :rasp:

Oh so you were talking about actual slicks. No idea there were wear markers on them, learn something every day! Off to find pictures now just for reference...

Forgive my ignorance but how do you measure the tread on a slick to know that it's past its best anyway?? EDIT: Just re read that and realised you're on about semi slicks :o Unless there are road legal slicks I'm not aware of :rasp:

Not too bad for proper tyres then. I didn't realise slicks weren't allowed though. How strict are the regs with tyre depths? Being road legal do they have to actually have the road legal amount of tread, or are most of the tyres used pretty much slicks now anyway lol?

Are these full on race wets stupidly expensive or something? What's the reason they aren't allowed? Aren't full on slicks run in the dry?

Sounds lovely in that vid :)

You have high comp pistons already?

Thanks mate. That's the same resistor as the one I used under the seats too iirc.....

Has anyone fitted resistors to the steering wheel air bag connections after fitting an after market wheel? I've got a Sabelt wheel now and it came with a resistor of some kind. But obviously there are two connections on the standard air bag (top and bottom). So I need to source another one...

Could also consider getting it wrapped..

Hard at work Waterpump off

Good results Tony well done.

Great results well done!

I definitely missed that. No idea how lol.

Nah It's a bit too far for me to warrant travelling just to drive in a straight line. If I lived closer I'd give it a go. Just interested to see how quick your beast actually is.

So mean. Love it. Any idea what time it might get at Pod?

Lovely jubly, can't wait to see your footage mate. Good luck!!

Did I miss something? When did it get stolen!!? Glad you've got it back anyway.

Don't take it personally ;) I do agree that looks like a decent wheel too. But in my opinion it's not a touch on one of Snappy's. Looks far too plain in comparison! Put them back to back and I think you'd be silly to go for that over the other. But if you prefer it plain then that's all...

The ride height I assume you mean? I agree, ideally you'd need to have coilovers. However Cooksport springs do sit lower and look better than Sportlines. You wouldn't notice any difference looks wise between 195 and 205s.

I know who you are! I did think the other white Clio was a Ph2 172 though. With the Union Jack flag on the roof. Maybe I'm going crazy and mixing two different cars up! But yeah anyway, that's who I meant lol. Shame he isn't on the list too otherwise would have been a full house for the...

How can you not be a fan of Snappy's work lol? Are you deluded? Or just special? It's far superior to the example above in every single manner lol.
