Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Sounds bad :(

Pure no one is debating your brace, we all agree it works.

Seriously Save a £100 and get the hankook.

£6.5k less the value of his cup apparently http://mobile.pistonheads.com/sales/3778939.htm

It's a 60 road and he wont post what speed he was really doing, that means above 60.

Yeah I know, just quoted you as you had explained what he meant.

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do...

RX7 everytime.

Amazing how badly these cars crush up at just 30mph....

Agree there's a worthwhile comparison between the effects of a strut(tower) brace and a roll cage, obviously a cage just does so to greater effect.

On some cars, not all. They are not effective on a clio. The main reason the pure Motorsport one is effective on a clip is because it connects to the strut. Really don't see why this needs spelling out when it's a conversation on a clio forum about strut braces on a clio.

Hankook are better imo. I had the original contis on, then Toyos which I found better overall though wear rate was poor, and then the hankooks which were excellent!

Got no experience of RSRs but aren't they semi-slick? So wear rates will be poor compared to the others. Have used federal 595 but that was on a swift on the ring and they were good.

Hankooks are £99 a corner and Conti sport contact 5 are £125 per corner

Conti or hankies will do 10k

Welcome will. Good luck with the rebuild

What I said is correct though, tbh I don't give a s**t what other people said. It all depends on the car, what works on x won't necessarily work on y.

Er... OE is continental sport contact 3. Toyo are fine on 197 but wear fast, but are more predictable than the conti Hankook v12 were my favourite. As predictable as the Toyo but better all round grip.

Can't compare chassis mods on one car to another. The Clio chassis is stiff already, the escorts clearly wasn't.

Cheers guys. I was pretty sure if need another charger just wanted tto make sure as father in law wanted me to pick him up a charger like I've bought but there's no point if I'll get rid of mine soon.

I'll get the father in law to buy a ctek one then and do him a swap!

Cheers jay. I have one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004RFQ1K2/?tag=cliospnet01-21 presume that will be no good for dry cell? I only got it as I got a mega deal on it and it's useful for the old batteries I'm using while building and an do a deal on it with the father in law if...

Doing it again I'd go with an induction kit rather than an exhuast.

Might be being stups but I'm sure I read before these need a special type of charger? If so what?

Exactly! Getting air into the bay is one thing, but its gotta get out to!

That drop in torque at 4500rpm is huge

IIRC they are better being used frequently then not being.

Where is this? and how did I not spot it? lol

1.9 just doesnt feel right for the car. TBH there not much between the 1.9 and the 2.0 6pot in mine, but it doesnt have the right soundtrack or the same urgency in the upper rev range. Although the 1.9 and 2.0 probably give similar straight line performance they compromise on handling...

Even a good Z3 is more expensive. Talking circa £3k for a 2.8, or more for one of the other 6pots as they are all younger. The 4 cylinder 1.9 is a bit pony, great if you jsut want the style, not so great if you want a car with any performance.
