Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! BLOOMIN HELL that is cheap, did you just spec golf inners, clio outers and gave them a length.

If its just caster your wanting, plasma cut out a oblong piece from the strut top, spin it 180 and re-weld it, then you can still use PM top mounts and strut brace. You would have to be told it was done to notice it. Not suggesting you cheat or anything if regs don't allow, just bend them a...

Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! Not hanging around. 340/340....hello lol. Where did you go for shafts?

PM'd

Cheers, I cant take credit though, Yanoo's stuff is top. Yeah hopefully my chopping hasn't created much problem, Its not going to have anything to do with the running of the engine now. My Omex ecu and loom are capable of running the engine standalone, I just want to keep some readings on the...

A few pics from my daily progress, covered wiring with old condute and tidied up things untill I get some better stuff. fitted and secured hoses so nothings rubbing. Put some shiny bolts in lol. I will run the omex loom tomorrow if my bulkhead grommet arrives.

Re: Road/Track 172 That's the ones checked against an R26r reg no. £67.86 each but Wests Renault Cambridge do them for £56.65 inc vat each iirc with CS discount and Colin offered to do free postage on them for me as we'll usually £8.50 ;)

Re: Road/Track 172 Lol, give me a minute.

Re: Road/Track 172 Neil give Dan @ 519 a call, he should confirm.

Got bored of wiring so made a start on plumbing in engine and sorting out drive. Made up fuel line. Modified hose clamps for rail and fitted fuel sampler. Mocked up shafts to get measurements to lengthen, tempted to barn yard engineer them to get the car out for a test. Fitted gear...

Yeah the inner and outer cv's can be kept on uprated shafts, its just the intermediate bar that connects them that most up grade, or you can go for the biggest cv joints available in the manufacturers range that match the splines, usually a diesel model then get the int bar to match, I realise...

Top result Mark, slide well caught at 35:00. Was that an outright win you had? Car goes EXTREMELY well if that was a full euro spec supercopa leon ahead of you at the start.

Phase one or 2. Im guessing ph2 from your profile. That stalling coming upto junctions sounds like a TPS or ICV on a traditional throttle body. The ph2 not having a ICV I would think your FBW throttle body is playing funny buggers. Cleaning a CPS sensor won't do much unless there's grease or...

Yeah I will be, I was going to pm you about it. You had to run wires over to the cam switch so I thought I'd leave it in place and tap into standard loom down at g/box. That was my understanding of what you done right?

Saying that Phil, I haven't started mine yet lol, I went pretty wild with mine and there's still more to come out,y thinking is only using standard for, starting,charging,speedo,temperature, revs, reverse, cam shifter and fan wiring circuits (left the lighting circuit in untill I get a chance to...

Your problem might lie in the way they are machined, is the groove machined with a radius or sharp/90 deg corners? Causes more stress at that point but I'm guessing you have used a lathe a fair bit with owning god speed an know that. That was one of the many points that I spoke about with...

PM'd him on and off for a week asking about his various parts in French and English with google translate then was about a week to send out the bits iirc, I was away at the time. Aye send it up, prices ain't cheap though ;)

Are you running body's, why did you chop down engine loom?

Cheers, didn't think they would have an oil pressure warning. Tried that plug but there both male, ill chop it out after I know its not needed to run. Yeah im going canny with the interior part, just going to chop out the basics, safety stuff mostly. Does yours still run the speedo, revs and...

Got started on the dreaded wiring The Frenchies definitely living up to what there known for, shocking stuff. Started with this During, definite friday afternoon job. Left with basics, kept the lighting circuit for if/when I need lights. Placed my engine loom in just to keep myself...

Yeah the stiffer it is depending where its mounted and type will then take more load away from the rest. I understood it as you tested with dogbone in place. I know with mine disconnected you could blow the engine and move it that's why I will make a 5th mount in time as that little twisted...

Nice one Phil, on the look out for a tow car myself, have been advised a few times to get a passat as they have a good towing capacity i beleive? I think I'm settled on Accord 2.2cdti sport or a transit so I can sleep in it also. Good choice to take it off the road it means you have time to...

You would increase static positive camber slightly by doing this but nothing to worry about. Caster is free camber, as you increase caster it increases your dynamic camber during cornering which in reality is all camber is there for, to keep the contact patch as big as possible.

Totally agree with you mate, not saying it is any fault on your part, you pay, you expect, simple. I realise you haven't posted most of the issues but people that have spoke face to face and see the car in person have voiced a poor opinion. I respect you for not going mental about it and holding...

Okay Perfect, it was just you said "he judged the difference" I took that as he guessed it would fit with 280mm from trying on the 300mm.

3k for wiring by itself, no ecu's/sensors etc is pure crazy. I haven't made any comment on TDF saga you have had as it can affect a business but after hearing 3k for wiring and other little bits you have posted it's an absolute joke. I can't help but think their "motorsport" achievements have...

haha I can see myself getting choppy with the inner arches. Im pretty sure my car runs lower than most. FML

As Tony said Kenny, there's scope to make one down the front o/s much like the cup racers. I could guarantee that your dog bone is doing all the work on your car, the lower box mount does nothing but hold some weight, has no affect on torsional. The best place to make another mount for me but is...

Oh I know mate I may even make a small sacrificial plate to mount at the rear of the rad which will flow air incase a rad or engine mount goes while on track, not wanting to carry to much spares with me. Everything will get fettled to get best clearance around the front. Between the alternator&...

Agreed James one end the pivot point has to move, either strut top or ball joint pin has to move forward or back to get more but i think what tony is saying you could turn the ball joint to more of an angle getting some more caster without it being off the side of the arm. Space is obviously an...
