    Spax vs. FK

    Yeah the FK's are 172/182 non cup packed fitment only. Though I am surprised at people knocking the FK Konigsports, they are a fantastically priced coilover unit that perform well above the more expensive 'track day' coilovers on the market. Yeah they have problems with corroding which can be...

    Cambelt advice

    Just run it until it breaks. I sold a fully serviced engine for £350, after the service cost £600 odd quid. Guess it depends on how good your engine is. My Cup engines strong so want to look after it, if its average or a lemon. Run it until death.

    Roll cage fitment

    I've got this cage. Rear seats can't be used and have to be removed, and you can't get in the glovebox.

    Nick172Cup’s 2nd 172 ’TrackCup’ Project/Build.

    Not brand new Chris but definitely the new design. Rhys on here had them for a little while, used them on 2 trackdays and had the fronts refurbished as the seals started leaking but hasn't used them since. Spring rates are... Fronts - AST 180-100-61 / Rear - Eibach 13/99 0500.200.0500. James...

    Nick172Cup’s 2nd 172 ’TrackCup’ Project/Build.

    So having secured these... All I need now is a couple of different sets of rear camber shims and the stripdown of the clio can commence! Need to book the car in with the 'mad scientist' (Mike aka budgie) to fit all the parts and once all the bits are done I can actually start using the car...

    Finally got the ///M - Byzanz Metallic BMW E36 M3 Evo Saloon.

    It may be a while Lawrence though! No worries James, just one of those things with an expensive old car I guess. I had to have one to get it out of my system, after this one i'll be sticking to reliable cheap cars! And indeed dont go mad on the A3! Fingers crossed i'll get the same, would be...

    Bilstein B14

    The pure Motorsport ones actually attach to the topmounts and shock absorbers, so they do have a purpose unlike every other strut brace available on the MK2 Clio market.

    Finally got the ///M - Byzanz Metallic BMW E36 M3 Evo Saloon.

    Tim - Lol I knew what you meant mate. The lady said it was a speed van on the other side of the road apparently. I asked for proof, but to get proof you have to plead not guilty which if I am guilty then the punishment will be more severe. So just easier to plead guilty as I know I was driving...

    Clio track day car, need it gone.

    Get some better pictures up ffs. If you present it better then people will be more inclined to take interest. Pictures of the cage, seats, wheels etc, from your pictures it just looks like a dirty molested standard looking clio.

    Finally got the ///M - Byzanz Metallic BMW E36 M3 Evo Saloon.

    Cheers Oli, it's definitely a strange one with this car! Any other car and i'd of just punted it on/broken it for spares (even at a loss) but through everything I still cant bring myself to get rid! Cheers mate, will look into that! Incredibly cheap that!

    Finally got the ///M - Byzanz Metallic BMW E36 M3 Evo Saloon.

    Caught me on the A3 southbound Tim, didnt even see them as naturally i'd of slowed down. So can imagine I was probably was speeding, i've got no way to prove otherwise! People reckon i'll get 6 points and roughly a £500 fine, and if the courts are feeling harsh I could get a 7-56 ban on top but...

    Bilstein B14

    Lovely road coilover thats perfectly usable of track. So well damped as they come, got a set on my cup currently. With regards to top mounts, i'd go with the Pure Motorsport top mount and strut brace package. Again got this on my cup, and between the this and the coilovers it makes for a great...

    Finally got the ///M - Byzanz Metallic BMW E36 M3 Evo Saloon.

    Better put up a bit of an update... So after it eventually landing in England at the 'specialists', he got underway with fixing it. He assured me that the E36 M3 fuel pumps are strong and he's never had a problem with one on any car hes worked on, instead he always had problems with carbon...

    Nando's The Oracle Reading 7.30pm Wednesday 23rd January

    Throttle body Ellen, my cup has been running a little rough this past month or so. Once it's up to temperature it's fine right? If you hold the revs at just under 2k rpm does it sound like its really lumpy? Mine put an engine management light on, light went off but it's still doing it. Still...

    Cruise control on a RS 172 or a dCi (DIY)

    Quite interested in doing this myself! Got a 182 steering wheel, CC dash panel. So all I need is a 182 squib and have it programmed? Like Dan said I always use the brake to cancel the CC so i dont need the clutch switch?

    French Car Show 2013

    I'd rather drive to Le Mans, than drive to FCS. Massive difference between a charver/substandard boring show and the best race weekend on the planet.
