Yeah someone suggested that to me - but madness. It'd get smashed off on track and you'd dump your oil everywhere Use a sandwich plate or drill the sump and weld a boss in for a temp sensor I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the sandwich plate for the sensors and then a take-off...

There ya go then - dynamo = racing blue mondial for cups iceberg for the silver ones Just the colour of the car - part of the build process

Yeah sorry I was mostly asleep when I wrote that reply Yeah the car you posted a pice of is iceberg silver, mine says "mon" and is mondial blue No idea why your says "dyna" and is racing blue - unless it's short for a french word or they had a different word for racing blue paint

I'm pretty sure it's the colour of the car - as the one you've posted a pic of is that ice blue colour, and mine says "mon" and it's mondial blue :)

Mine failed for the same thing As Fred said find the compensator - it's an awful design the arm is just loose on it. I sprayed mine with WD40 - and moved the arm up and down for 5 minutes to make sure it was all nice and free'd up. Then I put a thick cable tie through the arm up to the chassis...

Ahhhh right ok - that's per side and I didn't realise they were huge brembo 300mm In that case you're right that is pretty good competition for the AP racing kit I'll stick to the £640 wilwood setup then because I don't really need that amount of stopping power and need to keep 15's

Oooh yeah please James that'd be awesome Won't be ordering any till pay day - but that beats camskill by quite a bit!

OK cheers guys So it's around £440 for 195's or £520 for 205's and you basically get a very marginal performance increase and a bit more life from 205's I might just go for 205's cos I kinda like how chunky they look on the wheels too lol

Yeah I suppose it is still £140 cheaper than a wilwood kit. I don't think you can really compare it to a £2k setup that uses discs and rotors that are bigger though. Surely with 4 pots and 300mm discs it's more comparable to the wilwood setup? I'd be very interested if there was a setup that...

Can you just clarify what this kit would give you? Twingo R2 calipers - are they AP Racing 4 pots? Or same as the 197/200? Then you'd get Twingo R2 discs and some adaptor brackets for the calipers and it all bolts straight onto a Clio 172? If the discs are 300mm though will they fit under 15"...

Sweet - Can't wait :D

I reckon an hour and a half to get to LFE - and we need to do a quick stop in at Newark. What about this :- 7.30am leave mcdonalds opposite Pennels in Lincoln? 7.45 - 8am stop at Friendly Farmer in Newark to pick locals up and any stragglers from Lincoln can catch up. Leave 8am - head...

The price seems to be quite a bit more for 205's - extra £19 per corner for R888's - so I'm kinda leaning towards saving £80 and getting 195's But if you look at the Dunlop DZ03 tech list - they actually say for a 6.5" rim you should be running 205's Hrmmm

I've run 205/50/15's on my car since I got the 2118's - quite a few people recommended the extra width and apart from a little tiny bit of scrubbing on the inner plastic arches at the back (which needs binning anyway) - had no problems Question is now I'm gonna be ordering some FZ-201's or...

Why the hell do people still keep fitting decats to clios? The 182 cat is a 200 cell - the same as a sports cat. I have a 200 cell sports cat on my car running 200bhp It doesn't gain you any power. </ rant> And yeah just replace the lambda - they're not even expensive

About £800 max for that thing Sub 10 minutes lap - PMSL, my mate did a sub 10 in a 1.8 mx5 with the roof down

Re: A few changes to the RS2'd Trophy De-catting mine made it insanely loud lol I'm surprised this isn't boosted yet ;)

OK - sounds like if we all meet at the mcdonalds just off newark roundabout, then head down tot he Friendly Farmer at newark, then straight down the A46 to LFE - should be good I'll work some times out when we know how many people are going from this way :) I can't wait

What's the plan lads? Are we going the long way and meeting at woodall with the yorkshire lot - or are we heading down to Leicester Forest East services and meeting yorkshire/east mids lot? Be good to get a big convoy on the go :D

There's a few of us going from Lincoln - me and James and I think Batesey We'll probably drive over together - either to woodall or LFE and meet up with you lot :D

If all the above fails - try Matt at Tour-De-Force. He does a lot of upgrade packages for the 200 cup racers and usually has a fair few spare bits kicking around

Went to buy some pads on eBay (cheap £30 things) and instead found a pair of rear calipers off a 70k 172 ph2, with part worn pads - for £26 delivered!!! That'll do me - should be back on the road by next weekend :D Not worth rebuilding them with that sort of second hand prices lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Have you just cut the whole fog light area out? I'm planning on doing that with mine this week because I can't be bothered trying to find cup racer air ducts lol

Oh wow - I was expecting longer than that I've got the Canon 70-200 f2.8 but not had a chance to try it at an air show yet. I'll have to get to one soon :) Thanks

Awesome shots - love the vulcan taking off! What lens do you use? Looks fairly long!

Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content. Yeah fair play mate - that's exactly how i've felt a bit recently Love mine to bits but having a full blown stripped out clio as your only car gets a bit annoying Off to buy a 2.5 v6 TDi passat estate in a few months - retire the clio to being...

That inoxline in the video looks GASH - it's just bits of bare pipe stuck out the back!?

Re: A few changes to the RS2'd Trophy Hahaha I bought a new lens last month specifically for taking pics mate We'll have to get a bit of a Lincoln drive out organised :D Batesey - fancy getting a thread up?

Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content. I was about to PM you and ask why you broke the white one - then saw this Good choice! LOL I love my ITB's but given the money back I'd boost the Clio instead.

It always confuses me why people think the company making REAL race car exhausts makes them better They didn't make the Clio cup race car exhausts - and any research they've done on power delivery for other cars has no benefit whatsoever to a clio
