Yeah S&S's is where I'll start off, anything at KH to begin with. It's built for SMRC S&S, NRSCC S&S, French trophy, Tin tops, Track day Trophy and probably a couple 750mc series to name a few so I can do what I please really.

That was my thoughts too, not tight in my case but you have to be very precise with selecting the right gear unlike the the standard porridge stirrer. I only ever struggle with down shifting to 3rd when hard on the brakes which is probably me more than the shifter.

You boys could just about manage that with the amount of cars/parts you have knocking around. It doesn't need to be quite that expensive to go racing in a similar specced Clio ie power and some main components but it won't be finished the same way in the finer details and that's where all the...

Between the two sadly I would say quite easily John, even more with my trailer and what not. That's with buying some 2nd hand parts, shopping for good deals and no labour to do anything so I hate to think what some have spent on their cars. For the race car I do have 2 of most things suspension...

Wrong side of 30 I would think now :cry: It's really not worth adding up, I stopped doing it.... I did it after 8 months on my race car and shat a brick and I now have two and twice the time has passed.

I meant a slightly modified regs of road going class rather modified road going regs, just being lazy on the iPad.

Open championships are the easy one's Just use modified road going hills/sprint regs, it will make your life easier and the MSA has already wrote them for you ;)

Slowly, backwards, upside down...... I still can't make sense of it.

I'm not/wasn't trying to complicate things, I'm trying to simplify them in the long run. All the points/questions I have brought up are exactly what someone who knows how racing becomes will start asking, I know I would. I think your all being very naive if your saying its all for fun which I...

^^^ That's the easiest way. Also it furthers my point that other cars will be able to swap parts from different spec models.

As you say a can of worms, It will never say its open to swap parts but every reg is up to the readers interpretation unless it strictly says no for every individual component ;)

Nick 172 cup was speaking with the organisers today and said it would be allowed, camber bolts aren't in there but are also being allowed from what he's said.

No one would enter a heavily Clio favoured championship when the clubs whole point off it staying a standardish 'French' championship rather than a Clio championship is to increase numbers and not reduce them. 206 gti was just an example. I don't know the ins and outs of 106's, 206's, 306's...

I understand they might change, I'm just trying to point out flaws so its fairer in the end for everyone. From those regs it's basically saying Clio's can change manifold, wheel size, cup setup alternator, different model wishbones and adjust camber via bolts. What are other models allowed to...

.

Because you are being allowed to swap from the original wheel size, non model specific manifold and also alternator from the brief read I had of the regs.

Yeah that's my understanding of them regs, it's early days for this but it will end up like every other one make series where competitors slowly agree to more and more mods, the difference is this is wide open to French cars which makes it difficult to have parity and worse to write the regs...

So for other cars (puegot/citroen) they will be allowed to adjust camber in some way and take bits from any higher/lower model of that specific car so long as they were factory fit?

Very true, I overlooked that when I read front strut braces are allowed and non standard top mounts as long as they don't add camber/caster.

Get inner tie rods and new wishbones instead of balljoints/power flex bushes. PMS strut brace package is allowed too and you'll be a 3rd of the way there with buying o.e top mounts.

That Astras in need of a polish, DTM/silhouette cars race on this package? Sounds like Clio's don't breed very well.

Comedy

Well if the bottom part you can't see in the picture is conical and the upper is flat I would wager its just needs flipped. They (top mount & top hat) aren't fixed together anyway right?

Do I really have to answer that....post #8

Serious? No them wires are there to create electrical shorts to the ecu lol?!?!? This is your CPS, check there's wires going into it, two of!! http://s1285.photobucket.com/user/mikerea16/media/2013-09-28-14-21-52_deco_zps42d8785b.jpg.html

I think you have the spring top hat upside down in that pic?

I make that a 2nd and 3rd in class....well done. Cracking results Russ for your first weekend or any weekend tbh, playing down the car all week lol. That Saxo must have been a rocket ship.

He didn't even start the 2nd race which is strange as he finished the first, guessing his car was too damaged to start the 2nd

Common sense really, I don't know what you have been left with condition wise. Remove the air filter box for best access first. Yes it's two wires (green and white) that comes out of that rubber covered loom you have pictured, take the plug off the sensor you have pictured (CPS crank position...

Come on now, use those things on the front of your face ;) From what I've seen Marc's got car OCD so it probably had a front end rebuild basically for that price.
