    Should I carry on with the Clio?

    I've had my 172 cup for about 18months now - bought it as a replacement for my 106 gti (I had 106's for 8 years before the Clio) I liked it as a daily drive - had leather recaro's and leather rear seats and it was a good little car Did the 'ring in it and did a mid 9minute lap and again had...

    Re: I got a bargain tripod other day... Bloody hell that's cheap Is the head a manfrotto base plate?

    What to upgrade to? Canon models only

    No no no no no it's SUPERB There's a lot of stuff you can do with it which takes a bit of getting used to - but for track photos my mind was blown Whack it on Servo AF and let it select it's own AF Points - holy s**t Panning photos of BTCC cars and every single one was pin sharp - it's insane

    New Lens

    Awesome lens - but if you can stretch the wallet slightly - the 50mm f1.4 I had was mind blowingly good

    OSX Lion Thread

    Huh? Chrome is awesome - it never crashes, it kicks every other browser to pieces if you're a web developer/designer - and I'm running it fine in Lion? LOL

    ball joints and geometry

    Well in that case if they've done a geometry setup on knackered ball joints I'd be taking it back and asked for it checked - they shouldn't have done it on knackered components :(

    What to upgrade to? Canon models only

    How is going from a 40D to a 550D a sidestep? Digic 4 processor, full HD video, over double the screen resolution - just the tip of the iceberg *sigh* Also if you're not noticing any difference between a 7D and a 450D then I'm fairly gobsmacked I've had 1000D, 450D, 500D, 50D (was AWESOME)...

    ball joints and geometry

    Have you got adjustable camber bolts? or adjustable top mounts If not then the camber/caster isn't adjustable on your car anyway - so all they will have checked is the toe in/out (tracking)

    ball joints and geometry

    Debatable If you're old ones are completely shagged then the wheel won't have been sitting right on them which can affect tracking Not a massive amount but with all suspension stuff I'd get a quick geometry setup after fitting them

    My OSX dilema [possible r****d content]

    There are a few tutorials for making a bootable lion - but they aren't supported by apple and based on pre-release code I don't see the point - takes about 5 minutes to do a full clean snow leopard install and anyone with broadband will hardly have a problem with going on the app store and...

    My OSX dilema [possible r****d content]

    Yeah the coloured discs that come with macs are locked to a specific hardware setup and won't work on any other mac Lion when it comes out is download only and Apple have confirmed you won't be able to do a blank install with it - you have to install Snow Leopard first and then install Lion...

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

    Agree with the road comments Mines only got 2degrees of camber and bilsteins/cup racer suspension setup and it's a nightmare on the road Trying to make a track car that is also driveable on the road is a silly compromosie

    Battery Relocation Cable

    I've done mine with 4AWG - which is about 22mm squared This is what the auto-electricians recommended for a 172 alternator Runs fine - starts easy, charges fine. Put a fuse either end of the cable - cost me about £50 for the cable, connectors properly done (not home-crimp s**t), heatwrap...

    Model shoot yesterday with Quadra's.

    LOL didn't mean any offense - I like the effect it just looks a bit overprocessed Probably due to her skin and crappy fake tan

    Model shoot yesterday with Quadra's.

    Love the lighting and the model looks good Not keen on the HDR style editing on the 3rd pic though - it makes her skin look really patchy Other than that though superb!

    My 172 Cup

    Wait... so you took a perfectly good 172 cup - painted it up in lairy colours that no-one would want - and now you're selling it? Why didn't you just take a wad of cash and flush it down the toilet - would have saved time ;)

    My 172 Cup

    I'm not sure what offends me the most The £5 ebay fisheye lens or the horrific HDR "attempt" Please god let someone else take photos from now on!

    Handbrake Warning switch/light Wiring

    It's just a single wire that goes to the switch I've got it on show in mine as no carpet etc... I just taped it to the floor to stop it moving around What do you need to know?

    Can anyone make me some bits of metal for my top mounts?

    Surely you could line it up with the bottom of the hole as I though it was just the top corner of your top mounts that had been ground away?

    Can anyone make me some bits of metal for my top mounts?

    Get the strut brace instead - it's awesome! :D

    172 Cup Track/Fast Road car.

    Lol random No idea mate. Some mop ones I bought from demon tweeks when I was last there I think

    strutbrace with solid top mounts?

    In my opinion if you want a strut brace and top mount setup - go for the pure motorsport one See here -> http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?586855-Top-Mount-and-Strut-Brace-Package-PH2-group-buy It's pretty much an exact copy of the cup racer setup

    172 Cup Track/Fast Road car.

    Thanks Chris - I suspect my toe is miles out as I lowered the car on the coilies and never got it re-setup DOH Been a while since I've updated - and it's been a nightmare to be honest Bought a full set of powerflex bushes (wishbones and ARB), new ball joints, and a Pure Motorsport solid top...

    Looks awesome that mate Do you mind if I ask - are you running spacers? I've got the palmersport 2118's and they sit a fair bit in from yours Is the cage a custom one?

    Just done the rstuner thing and....

    This doesn't sound right at all With the rs tuner remap the time before full revs is allowed is lowered - mine is around 2 minutes - definitely not 10 Mine idles a lot better with the remap on - no stuttering at all Are you sure you've loaded the performance map on it and not just updated...

    Photography Website.

    It works well for photography like yours - 4 or 5 very nice shots and a bit of a blog post Not so nice if you go to the nurburgring and come back with 200 photos you want to host somewhere Though saying that 500px wouldn't be ideal for that either BLEH There's a whole in the market for a...
