You might find it okay but with around 1 deg toe in and 20 minutes on the other side from what tony has said you might find it steering from the rear under braking but I can't see you noticing much just springs and an otherwise standard car. You mentioned 15" & 16 is that larger for road and...

Saying that after fitting my strengthening kit my axle sits a rocks slightly when on a flat surface, should have allowed time Cool and stitch welded etc but aswell, nothing a few big bars and some shims shouldn't cure.

I'm not sure of Clios exact road settings but as a rule of thumb I've found most fwd parralel on the road. In racing I know a lot of guys in fwd cars like parallel axle for a planted feel and front toe out around 30 minutes depending on power.

Have you ever played with the movement on the axle tony or just shimmed to suit. Ithere must be a good 5mm of adjustment in there measured from the front or rear of wheel rim.

Agreed safer but if you read a chart from the likes of Kwik fit etc.... I know, there rough but most cars on these types of charts are parallel. Not all though.

Well nearside is passengers side and offside is drivers side in the uk. Originally reading your post I thought you had that mixed up for front and back. Most front wheel drive cars run parallel for front and back on the road. In front drive cars, toe in on front is used so when the car...

You should never run different amounts of toe in/out from side to side on the car. Different from front to back maybe. Do you know what n/s and o/s mean. I think you have your numbers wrong unless it's had a bash

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He The difference in my 2 sets is the racer arms are pushed forward 11mm with the same arb mount on the arm and to the best of my knowledge the cup racer subframe wasnt modified except the engine mounts so you...

Yeah no issues, sorry been flat out I thought I pm'd you.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He They are exactly the same in every way to the ones I removed from my 172 cup, just offset bushes fitted. The cup racer ball joint/uni ball makes all the difference in there setup pushing out each side 20mm. I...

Not had much time to get anything done on the car but received a few more parts, namely seats that I am now happy with. 2012 Corbeau Revenge XL along with some renault sport sabelt 6 points. After getting another set of brake ducts to find a better fit, where as I can actually attach them as...

Finally received my 2012 Corbeau revenge xl seats and they are a great fit for my build, the biggest seat In the shoulder spacing that I have sat in with head protection.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He So you have fitted a spherical bearing in a holder on the bottom arm with a roll centre adjuster pin and just sized the pin on top the same as oem ball joint pin so that it fits into oem hub and is pinched...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He This is the only pictures I took before fitting them, exactly the same as cup arms. If there is any variations throughout the 1*2 range with lower arms then the cup arms must be the best base to start with...

Re: Road/Track 172 Good stuff Neil a few more noticeable performance mods going on there. How did you find the brakes in reverse and what setup are you using? You mentioned about your ITB's being 120mm from the butterfly, talking of Clio's, people usually go on about the trumpet size itself...

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cup Racer Rep! Could you help me with a phone number or website where you got these stickers. Im looking to do something similar on my racecar.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Have you designed an extender pin holder and pin to suit the cup hubs? I agree with what Tony and Jay wanting off the shelf parts and being available if the worst happens, I do too but with limited...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I just read back what I wrote. It sounds like I'm trying to say the checks you did were wrong, that's not the case I'm just interested to know what you found?

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He So your saying the arms are all the same bar the cup which has offset holes for ball joint? I was unaware they changed the rear track other than different offset wheel, in your thinking they must have made...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I have compared 182 arms and phase 1 arms against my 172 cup arms and there the same but wether they were all original Renault parts fitted to all these cars is the question. Usually just a sticker that...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I have yet to see different arms on the 1*2's, IMO all the Renault claimed wider track & more castor is done in the hubs & wheel offset. I might be wrong but there are only 2 types, lower model arms with a...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Nick 172 Are you sure the cup road cars have different lower arms? I have compared road cup arms and cup racer arms and there seems to be no difference other than Bushes? I am going to get them surveyed at a...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Good to see your getting things sorted out, AST's are proven so suspension reliability should be no issue. Your plans for winter, would you like to elaborate? Are you having custom top mounts made for winter...

Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! Ford graphite grey.

Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content. Heat gun and cardboard box, job done. Or if the misses allows, In the oven!

Re: Road/Track 172 You should get some good gains in torque with those, more suited to the ITB's I would think and for the price, stupid not to. Tempted to take my VXR on if theres spaces, brakes will be ruined tho. All my mates have went off at hair pin and chicane since doing reverse...

Re: Road/Track 172 I like it Neil, someone to have a play with on track days possibly? What made you go for the 197 cams? Nice and cheap i guess. Whos running the track day next week?

Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content. My bad, long day. I think I'll stay N/A for just now and if I'm getting humped on track, might go forced. That stuff will do, love this wrap tho...

Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content. Coming along nicely, is there much custom parts needed to do a swap other than intercoooler pipework and ECU or is there off the shelf and different renault model parts available? Try this stuff Lewis, it's split to wrap round ready made looms or...
