Can anyone link me up with this guide please, interested to see how it's done without the subframe coming off or engine out. I have searched the 12 pages of guides but can't see it.

Go for it, decent thing. Your booked on the 5th ain't you, come have a play with my stick ;) Just the Federal RS-R's mate, great all round tyres. You can see how useable they are in that shocking conditions but are also a ball hair away from most R compound tyre in the dry, in fact i think...

As said I wouldn't run without them on a road car in winter, you would have a half ton of snow/ice in your front bumper which isn't ideal. They seem to go for quite a bit as well 2nd hand as most have lowered there car and ruined them.

Where's this guide for coming out the top? I can't imagine that being very fun.

It's probably a got a one dummy pipe and a little silencer like a oreca group n.

Thank you, they are Megane 225 or Clio 197/200 callipers with custom brackets to suit the standard 280mm disks. 197 braided hoses and longer caliper mount bolts. Aye its good, I fiddled around with adjustment mid last week and made it worse than Initially had it, I was trying to stop the knock...

Operation steal from the rich and give to the poorly started today. Started like this at 3:30 And had this at 4:30 where I had to stop to go and collect the gripper'd box, lightened fly wheel and plate clutch that wasn't planned to go in until I got familiar with the car. I have since done...

How much would that be though chip and they chew through clutches/flywheels iirc. They also aren't as big as a Japanese jeep inside. Kelv if you do decide on one then try to get an earlier car as the tax brackets doubled to circa £500 after 2003 Edit: FYI the shogun sports have a 2800kg braked...

Yeah the balance was spot on when upto speed, you would barely notice it was connected, hills you notice obviously but a lot less than the transit 2.4, Renault 2.4 and defender 2.4 that I have used before. That was sitting at 70mph, 60mph is the sweet spot on that thing for economy. I was...

Yours looks a LOT more spaced than mine with just 10mm extra, wheel offset is only 2.5mm different but the thing that is probably making the big difference is the camber, 2.5 looks massively different to 4 deg. FYI FK sell spacers that don't even fit the standard hubs (I know as I have 10mm hub...

He was on about the rear 'hub' spacers That was quick delivery?

And to give you an idea of how hot things do get, my spigot rings and what's left of my centre cap after a wet track day

By just removing fog lights and arch liners isn't going to make a massive difference imo, saves smashing fog lights on track though. Putting ducting and a defector plate aimed at the brakes will though. Cup cars ran this although they completely gut the foglight hole and put in a big duct that...

Yep to the brakes, fog lights out along with the arch liners.

Yes its just camber bolts I'm using on my cup to get 4 degrees. 172 Cups have different drilled subframes to give more camber so you won't get quite near that on any other Clio. It was a FAG bearing too Chip but like I said the first one was unknown and now I'm onto my 3rd I'll see how this...

I would still be running 4 deg on any tyre on track with this setup, the brand new set of hankook evo s1's I had on for one track day were fairly mullered outside considering the mileage they had on them. The fact I'm wearing outside edges on tyres with 4 deg neg and I know the tracking is spot...

Agreed that's the worst bit, they do look gash without and the only reason I haven't fitted some is its mostly on track so extra flow is a benefit. Dont agree with them saving your belts though, there was some cars that came with a cover round the driveshaft that kind of done this.

There is a fair bit of degradation/graining on the outside edges compared to elsewhere but nothing out of the norm that I haven't read or heard about. And spacer wise the smallest bolt to hub type you get is 20 anyway ain't it? I would space the hub if I did it again on my road car and thats...

And to give you an idea of 'stance' duuuude.

My cars run down. Wheels et40 16" pro race 1.2's with 205/50/16 RS-R's, 10mm space all round so you could say et30 wheels (hubs modified to suit 10mm hubcentric's) Suspension new cup dampers and sportlines. Front 4 deg camber, parrelel, cup arms (obviously) 10mm spacers and slight scrubbing...

Yeah I do on my car but I don't do massive milage in it. Rain has never bothered mine yet although I wouldn't recomend it in winter months.

And the countryside/roads, ^^^^ that will become all that more important before long. England = pauper ;) I would seriously love a trip like that but I would need a few cars or van full of spare parts I would think. Realistically every time I make a trip down to race I will squeeze a track day...

EFA One day I'll have been to them all (hopefully) but stupid geography doesn't help.

I watched it earlier againTony on your blog, I agree any circuit is good to race on as competition adds everything to it even a straight road....but as an out and out circuit for excitement its lacking a bit IMO. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't stop me racing in it for above reason.

^^^ Must read more..... I suppose suspension geometry doesn't come under engine mods but mehhh it will have more of an affect than 10-20bhp will.

Proper steering geometry & no interior = job done

You said it ;)

I just quickly googled it and there was at least 3 firms from what I looked at offering packages including trace and camping.

I'll ask my friends if I remember as a good few groups of them go over yearly. Iirc when I looked there was only one way to buy them a bit like ticketmaster sort of idea where they have the rights to it and can include camping and parking etc. Make a few phone calls and I guarantee you'll get...

Its probably the videos I have watched that make it look mundane as most videos tend to do that to tracks. I have watched a fair bit of footage on Motors TV there and the hairpin does look steep banked with a lot of mistakes made. I guess until you have tried it you can't comment, videos never...
