I have thought about that but it would not fit when it is in a box without the passenger seat being moved forward on the mounts, and I want to keep the two seats in the same position (looks better) lol
Just be careful with the long nuts as they are only aluminium and if they are made in China they may not be very good, also iirc they are about 50mm long so they will stick outside the wheel so it will not pass a MOT.
Thats what I use on my track car, they are high tensile steel bolts with steel nuts the same as pure motorsport but half the price, they also look identical to the PMS ones.
Your only about 30 mins from me, let me know when you are free one of the weekends and I will pop over and have a look.
Yeah still got a/c, I think a 30 battery would be the best solution.
Cheers Mark, I may do that if you dont mind.
Whereabouts in Litchfield are you any way
I was just thinking of driving to a trackday in the dark with lights on, radio and heater
I wonder if xenons will make a big difference as mine has them also.
@NorthloopCup What gauge cable you using for yours, and where have you earthed it to?
I had the ones from M.A.P.S ages ago, I brought the set for a BMW with 10 at 75mm long and 10 at 82mm long iirc and the 82mm long ones will take a 16mm spacer.
Just use some loctite 271 to fix them in
on the rear wheel
on the front wheel with 16mm spacer
on the car with no spacers
I emailed Merlin motorsport to see what their views were and he suggested to get the "30" size, this is part of the reply.
Now the 30 would end up being about £40 more expensive is it worth it to almost be guaranteed to start the car?
"I would suggest perhaps using the '30' size battery as the...
I made my own mate, not too bad to do just takes a bit of time.
I do have a spare surround, if I get chance I will make another up in gloss black if you are interested
I left a bit of comfort in mine electric windows, stereo and heater, but want to make a bit more room in the engine bay and move the battery to behind the passenger seat but a standard battery and battery box will not fit.
I am worried about getting to a track and the car not starting for some...
I'm interested in this, I still have A/C and a radio, how well do these small batteries cope with electrical systems?
I know they drain easily with alarms etc but I keep my battery on a maintainer charger when not in use so that should not be a problem.
If your car is a daily and just a few trackdays thrown in look at the Bilstein B14 you can get them from Germany for just over £500 and from everything I have read they are very good as a all rounder.

I had the Scorpion single back box one on the car when I brought it, it was not a bad exhaust, the one in your link is the older design they now have slash cut tailpipes and a flexi section near the cat.
Another option is the Ktec/Janspeed one...
Mines stripped out with cage RARB, I am not a fan of them on the road as you say a bit crashy, but mine is only really driven on the road to and from tracks.
I do think they are very good on the track for the cost though, my car corners much flatter than a lot of other clios I have seen (not...
No, I have new cup shocks and Cooksports.
I think they are OK for the price, I did consider the B14's when I seen the thread with that price from Germany but after a bit more reading decided that they were a bit to road orientated and it would have not really been any improvement over the...
A few off here have been getting the B14 from Germany for around £560 http://www.cliosport.net/threads/blisteins-for-a-good-price.761683/page-2 bit of a bargin really, I did think about it but think they are a bit too soft and no damping adjustment.
What about Gaz gold's, I know the standard...
Although my car is mainly for track, I have cooksporks and ARB and on the track it handles superb, for £150 it is worth a try if you don't like it you will sell it on for nearly that.
I fitted a pair of lemforder on my track car last year, they are good quality and cheap and Renault do not sell ball joints separate it is a complete wishbone only
you will not be able to spec the width of the wheel, as the tool dictates that, the only "adjustable part" will be the offset, centre bore and PCD all of which are machined after casting.
£425 is not bad
