Nope, just a standard brake hose diameter.

I did the Bleed valve thing on my old 205 rally cars, as all the port threads etc were equal, I just did the short length to a T piece on the clio as it was easy enough and had the bits while the engine was out.

If you intend on doing that, just get a garage with a brake tester to help you set the balance. Once it is equal, Mark the dials and then turn them the same amount each time for more or less rear bias. Yes oem does have twin lines to the rear, but easier for me to use only 1 line to rear...

The rear lines come out of the m/c, to a T piece. Then a single line to a bulkhead fitting. From that to the bios valve, then hydraulic handbrake, to the rear of the car. Bulkhead fitting to a T piece on the rear beam then out to both rear calipers with banjo fittings.

Faulty compensator sounds like it passes fluid with the pedal then it is not letting it return to the m/c properly meaning a build up of back pressure on the caliper. The bit of pressure it has is leaving that caliper on and is heating up the disc.

Proper bit of kit, well over 200+ bhp I think, sequential box, reiger suspension etc @EVOgone

I just used the stainless m10 x 1mm stuff from Demon Tweeks as it's just down the road from me. You can probably get it cheaper on ebay or something just shopping around.

Definitely longer at least, but it's still odd how they have softened up so much. Since being fitted I have wound them up 75mm and it still goes lower. Only got 25mm of adjustment thread left.

Just found the Special Stage Rally coverage of Rally Isle of Man. Im on it at 6.30 and 11.45. It might have already been on Motors TV, if not, it will be in the near future. @George@RTR_Parts

Seats wise and the comfiest I have ever had are my current seats, and all those that have been in the car will agree with how comfy they are. HRX Racer seats http://www.rally-shop.si/en/seats/1118-hrx-hr-vo-race-race-seat.html

Will have to look into that. I sold my last RARB with the old shell/car

No ARB on this one, although I could have done with one at the weekend as I used to sprint at Wigan and always had an ARB. I don't use a Whiteline any more as it hangs down too low for rough and bumpy stages. I want to try a PMS ARB as it goes above the beam so less likely to get caught/damaged...

Heres a pic from Sunday. The tyres (Michelin medium rally tyres) were certainly hanging on going round Lunar!! Almost hitting the rim!

Looking at doing the Glyn Memorial stages at Anglesey end of November

Saying that, the dampers are alright, I was just bottoming out the springs I need to get a longer, harder spring for the front, and something different for the rear

I ran out of money so Bilstein had to do. Still won the class but would have liked to go faster and finish higher up. The car did it's job and finished the rally, that's the main thing.

Lights were new headlamps with 100w bulbs in all, Hella gas discharge lamps (left lense is a spot, right is a drive) and an LED light bar that cost £40 on ebay!

Everyone along the route is PR'd, and there are road closure orders in place. They are probably so used to it all by now though on the island with all the different events that go on (cars, bikes etc) that they know what to do.

Damn I forgot to get a ticket again

Or Ohlins

I have road rallied over epynt a few times but havnt done a stage rally on there. I loved road rallying over there though. Manx stages were awesome, I just needed proflex or something for those bumps, I was really having to back of in places.

I also competed on the Adgespeed stages on sunday at 3 sisters in Wigan and had good fun although I struggled with front grip (needed a rarb on really but didn't think) Had crap seeding so ended up catching slower cars costing me time. Finished 13th overall and 4th in class (3 secs off 3rd, 4...

I've started putting my videos from the Rally isle of man onto youtube. It takes ages. Friday nights stages Saturday daytime stages (2 got cancelled due to accidents)

Yes a hammer will be loads more force than you stomping on it, and it's more accurate and localised. As previously quoted, try and stomp a nail in with your foot then use a hammer and see which is better.

Block of wood on the inside and a big hammer

Rally starts at 10am, usually on until 5ish I think. @shiftspark What's ive spent and what it's worth are 2 different things so I'm not totally sure yet. Just glad I dont have to add labour charges onto the value. It would be interesting to see what others value it at.

I got them a bit cheaper as i get a discount http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/a-i-tech-wheel-tyre-accessories

I've got the A I Tech competition studs and the copper coated wheel nuts. Not cheap either, but didn't want to break any more after I had a couple fail.

Cage is SD from the group buy and is the full bolt in jobby, cross diagonals, harness bars, tunnel brace and cross door bars. Worst fitting cage I have ever fitted. (And i have fitted quite a few), and apparently I wasnt fitting it correctly! I didn't dignify them with a response to that. Had...

Hope that's sarcasm about the tippex!
