I didn't realise they'd flared the end of them now! That might be why they're now saying to press them in from the inside - I bet that's awkward though Is that there attempt at making them weldless?

Tapped in from the outside until they're level with the bush - CORRECT and ready to be welded Pressed in from the inside - which is INCORRECT because you hit the wishbone before the sleeve is out far enough End thread.

Seriously mate - you're a f**king moron Everyone here is telling you you're wrong - and trying to HELP YOU There's 4 shots on here alone showing how they SHOULD be fitted with the metal sleeve all the way to the edge of the bush - and you're still arguing saying it's impossible What do...

OF COURSE it will - what you've got is 10mm of bush with no casing - that will allow LOADS of movement as the bush itself is quite soft and unrestrained If the metal sleeve had been fitted properly all the way out to the chassis - then the bush flex would be restrained by the metal sleeve...

You've pushed them in from the wrong side ;) You pressed them in from the inside of the wishbone because it's tapered and looks logical - but you don't do that you press them in from the outside of the wishbone It's a b**ch - we had to file the hole tapered slightly to get them started - but...

Did you read the original post? The nut comes off but the washer has been pushed down the shaft and is wedged solid

And you didn't say hi??? :P Are you around for the 6th May meet?

Ahhh but the sachs aren't height adjustable so you can't corner weight it LMFAO I think the problem with the sachs are he said it would cost more than £1k I priced up refurbing and unpinning a set and buying koni rears - did cost a fortune to be fair :( 519 - maybe. I've spunked all my money...

... and you're looking for a demo car to do some promotional work and I can have them half price? ;)

Please please please come to a track day and jump in my car. Standard suspension is nowhere near good enough for track days And damping doesn't affect body roll - that's ARB's and spring rates hehe

I get the feeling most people replying here haven't read the thread - so I summarised it Standard car, getting camber, getting rear ARB, has a £1k budget and wants adjustability for the future Wants fun on track and doesn't mind if the car puts him on the spot every now and again I don't think...

Yes and I fully agree - if its a road/track car that you just want to piss about in occasionally - you wouldn't waste £1k on coilovers - like I said the eibach pro springs and cup shocks I had were fine for a low 9 minute lap of the ring - and cheap BUT the whole point of this thread is to...

Yeah if it's a turbo/charger I'd go 2.5" - but you max out injectors before 2.25 becomes a restriction lol

Ermmm if you're building a track car you'll be running semi-slicks on a completely flat racetrack too Are we even reading the same thread? OP asked for a decent track setup for under 1k "something solid" - SPAX is clearly the answer as it's in budget and allows enough adjustment to set the car...

Yep - people who say 2.5" for more power really are just listening to bad advice 2.25" on my ITB'd cup with sports cat - no restriction at all

Oh yeah I agree - if you haven't got a £1k budget I woudln't say Spax is the best - I'd be buying KW V2's But the OP had a £1k budget - and I really do think for that money Spax is a better track setup than bilsteins Fully agree - But that's opening a whole other can of worms isn't it -...

That's definitely not a bias valve - there's no brake pipes going into it for starters :) It's the xenon height sensor - it moves the xenons up/down depending on the weight in the boot

Yep the 172 cup has an isofix bar as standard - all clios do A lot of people remove them though as they are just a huge chunk of metal lol

Hahahah sort me out some money off a Spax setup instead ;) :p

It's not s**t on track compared to a standard car - it handles well But it's waaaay too soft for track use. I've taken well over 150kg out of the Clio and put a 60kg cage in - the cage is all on the rear half of the car - as is the battery It tends to understeer and when I had it properly...

Quite clearly neither of you have ever seen or been in a Clio Cup Race car? They're solid - and I mean ridiculously solid And it's a bit daft saying "the most important thing to change is springs" because if you change springs you need to change damping to match - so adjustable damping is JUST...

Gumtree page is working for me OP should have reported to DVLA - if you swap engines you're supposed to inform the DVLA the new engine number.

Cage is the same one I had last year It's an OMP 6 point converted to have a full cross and harness bars. I just took it out to paint the interior and ermmm never got round to it lol

Aye it's a terrible job Only thing you'll be able to do really is see if you can get a dremmel with a cutting disc on up there and cut it off Honestly it's just not worth the hassle - bit more noise and less power. I wouldn't decat a clio again

Well we're moving house next week so it's chaos here and I haven't had time to do the service yet But I got a call today to say my Clio is being mapped on Monday afternoon Excited and nervous is an understatement LOL I'm excited to be able to properly thrash the hell out of it at Anglesey...

Cheers Ian - i'm all paid up now with Flux for a year so I'm just praying I don't have to contact them ever again and i'll try someone else next year LOL

I don't agree with you there at all - not having DA means they're no good as soon as you alter the weight or weight distribution of the car You can easily tweak the damping on the Spax setup and even swap springs for stiffer ones if you want - that makes them much more usable as a track setup

I really want a set of RSX's - just need to find the money and a buyer for my Bilsteins lol

Little review of my experience with Adrian Flux over the past month I have been with Chris Knott for YEARS but as Adrian Flux are advertised all over modified car clubs, and sponsors of FCS etc.. I thought I'd give them a go So I rang up for a quote. It took AGES to tell the guy everything...

Excellent choice Tamron quality really is shite - and with the 55-250 canon lens being so good for the money I always wonder why people throw money away on tamron crap. You'll love that lens!
