    Trophy Track Car

    Have a look at dingers thread Kelv, he just run copper inside the car (bias valve) and braided lines down the axle and into the rear calipers. He has eBay linked everything on his thread except m10 locking nuts iirc for the bulkhead fittings. You might need one m10 bleed nipple too for one of...

    Len did you buy a set of lines from Jeanpaul? I was toyed myself but didn't think they would travel well tbh.

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    Were the ECU and column a matched pair? (Not sure if that will make a difference when retro fitting)

    Setting up / adjusting asts

    Aye even my limited knowledge of setups is too much to pass on through a forum. Happy days, Knockhill would start paying you soon for keeping the grass trimmed ;) Gutted I missed it, did the wether hold off?

    172 AST Coilovers

    Just buy them off the website and enter your address, if they can't or need to do anything special to send them out I'm pretty sure they will get in contact.

    New "Cheap" Big Brake Alternative (Brembo+300mm discs)

    Mk1 Laguna/safrane is the rear brake upgrade your wanting if you really must. They are a seperate hub and disk design and are transferable. Everything including stub axles are needed.

    True that but some people want more from their car. ​ps was you cutting the grass for KH again last night?

    Squeaking suspension getting worse... what to do?

    Could be anything from a bush to your steering rack to a mouse stuck in the spring. What mileage is the car. Any small garage will have a look at your car even if its modified. I never heard of a small garage refuse work purely because its modified. Usually they don't have the tools to work on...

    Bleeding brakes on 172

    1 litre will be fine for a full flush. Clio's don't really suffer from needing to be bled in a certain order afaik, I have never had any bother. A g​ood rule of thumb for any car is start at the furthest point from the master cylinder. So that's LR, RR, RF, LF on a 1*2

    Setting up / adjusting asts

    The temperature across the tyres tread at 3 points usually, outside, middle, inside. If you can get the temperature even (+or- 10 degrees) across the tyres width then you will be making the most of the tyre. Knowing exactly what to do for that is the hard bit, you have to go out testing what...

    Wishbone Modification/Mount

    I wasn't slating your idea btw mate, what I was saying is I'm not keen on the subframe modification idea. For easyness if I was doing it myself and nobody was making a kit like you I would buy cup racer uniball holders and have a pin machined to suit the 1*2 hubs. Depending on what you wanted...

    Are 438 cams really worth it?

    Do you think its det, running lean or one thing in particular that's causing the ringland failure? Add another star to your badge if you answer. ps Adam thanks for the invoices its that annoying Scots lad that kept bothering you.

    Arch liner catching

    Trim the piece that covers the bumper bracket, I know that's where it catches on mine with sportlines and 16" wheels.

    Setting up / adjusting asts

    Aye should be fine, maybe a bit more camber on the front though. If you really do want it set up nice then get a temperature gauge if you can for your next day and it will be the judge if the setup is right for you and the car.

    Wishbone Modification/Mount

    By doing it this way you are adjusting the Roll centre but not in the correct relation to the steering arm, you will then need to adjust the track rods with an adjustable spherical bearing. Too much work for me. If your doing it yourself then take the easy option and have a pin made up and then...

    Wheel alignment - string method

    Would this work with really low cars? How tall is the degree scale in mm's? Having a lowered car is what usually trips up these home kits.

    Knockhill 5th july OPL. (Privately booked)

    Yeah something like 3 days or so. I will message Sean later for his spot so he doesn't loose out too much. Cheers

    My new racecar project (Icemans old shell)

    Looking good, I'd go for more lowz, 100mm apex springs would look good ;)

    The Ford Appreciation Thread

    Yeah awesome fun, twin choke carb made it feel like a turbo when it kicked in tbh, I was 19 at the time haha. The car was sold to a guy who was going to run it from Peterhead area to Aberdeen daily for work, around an 80 mile journey, it will probably be wrecked now or have a severe case of car...

    Setting up / adjusting asts

    Can you post a pic of your sheet? Im not sure of your toe on the front or back is out or in. Have you adjusted ride height, replaced or removed anything suspension wise since this, sounds like your tracking is out to be scrubbing insides of tyres. 1 deg of camber is nothing, I had 3 at the...

    Russ_16v's ITB'd & Caged 182 Track Car (Was Crispy's)

    I posted a pic above showing standard suspension with camber bolts set to max. 4 and a bit degrees from the bolts + 1.4 degrees from the top mounts = degrees 6 like Tony said he has had. You want to use the AST top mounts for caster, 4 degrees is going to be more than ample mate.

    Another Clio 172 Cup Road/Track

    Started checking the car over tonight after Sunday with the intention of going out tomorrow night at Knockhill. I have been called away to work tomorrow which is typical. Anyway rear wheel bearing is gone, I think I have diagnosed a misfire down to a duff injector, needs new rear pads (other...

    Setting up / adjusting asts

    When I said really into your setups I meant race teams etc, I would never do this on a car that is going to see any road driving. Not only would it annoy the s**t out of you but it would behave like s**t too haha. Your statement could have possibly just tripled the problem threads 'my cars...

    Setting up / adjusting asts

    This When you get a front geo done on your car you will get a free printout for the rear too so work off that, means you don't have to get it done twice. Also some places charge more when you say you want a four wheel geo when in reality its only the front you want but will always be given a...

    Coil pack

    I have just diagnosing or im pretty sure I have diagnosed a missfire on my cup tonight that It gained on track at the weekend. My problem was a missfire under light load and a slightly uneven idle. I had no lights, stored error codes on the dash or on the ECU history. I first checked ht lead...
