Talented, you just cant teach it ;)
The delay isn't too bad in my Cup though there is a difference between that and cable throttle! Funnily enough I find the works van (transit) easier to heel-toe than the Cup!
You cant heel-toe with standard pedals? Amatuer ;)
I have some aftermarket Sparco pedals in my car, there not any bigger than standard though. Think James @ JMS tinkered with his standard pedals to allow an easier heel-toe, best giving him a shout! :)
Looks cool! Lower it a bit more and make the wheels the only red thing and it'll look pretty dam nice! The mirror covers and front badge just look a little tacky!
Great for a runaround though!
Repaint with a few bodywork modifications(still keeping the widearch itself as its pretty much a S1600 kit), sell interior, wheels and engine.
Fit powerful N/A engine and new suspension and drive it!
Good day, cheers for Jon (Saner) for arranging it!
Happy with my 195.5bhp and 162lbft of torque!
Gower your cars a freak, must of had some serious work done to it to get them figures on a low reading RR with a standard manifold! Also Pete your R27 was unbelievable making 208.8bhp with just...
Very true, you'll probably annoy quite a lot of the high powered Audi drivers as they only enjoy going fast on the straights on trackdays ;) And you'll be pushing them along!
The RS-2's are great and I agree with what you say, but shear grip and pushing cars well above the weight of the clio around a track is fun also as you can see how pissed they are when a snotter goes past ;)
In reality both coilovers and big brakes will do naff all if you run rubbish tyres...
If your going to use the Ultraleggera as track wheels only then go for some R888's or the equivelent. You'll be able to break much harder and corner quicker with just R888's alone.
Coupled with coilovers...
Putting a carbon bonnet on your car Chris will make the baby jesus cry. Car looks perfect as is, well only one ting i'd do is either get a standard front diamond or paint with rear diamond white to match.
p.s. I'll give you £50 for the bonnet ;)
This guy speaks sense.
ARB will make a great difference to drive, the springs may be good but from what I hear they still eat shocks like all other lowering springs. Standard setups pretty good if you just use it on the road. If you want something a little firmer go for some 172 Cup springs as...
Or you could just buy this.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?554193-Forged-F4R-9.5-1-CR-428-s-JE-Pistons-Cat-Rods-NEWLY-BUILT
I'm sure eventually he'll let this go for around £2500 and then you have a seriously powerful car!
As much as i'm a fanboy of the JMS manifold, doing all that work like matched inlets does make a difference but if you work out how much you spend on all of that for the a little extra you could for an RS-2.
Matched inlets - £150
V6 Airbox/ITG filter/Silicon bend - £150
Decat - £70
Cat-back...
Don't go for that, looks horrific and porbably had a hard lift being 'boi'd' by some pleb.
Get a standard one, friend at work has one and there lovely to be in. Pretty powerful also and that before a map!
The SPG's look alright, but aren't going to offer half the support of a proper bucket seat. Seeing as you have a runaround now practicability means nothing and SPG's in my opinion are for alright for a normal car that gets driven daily. :) Yeah i've got the Revolutions with both sizes so by all...
Jack, yeah no worries. The driveability is the best thing about it and ecnomical also, the noise is nice as well ;)
Dont know of anyone local that has either of the turbo/sc'd conversion done.
focrs - Because there is far more fun in driving the car once it has been done, nothing's worse than having a car sitting there for over a year doing nothing because you want to come up with something yourself.
Thats peak figures... For decent duration of torque the JMS manifold is far greater, changing the power delivery on the engine was one of the best things about the kit. Plus a hell of lot cheaper than an ITB kit!
Also if your going to be using it on track IMO N/A is the way to go, engine and...
Lol normally I agree with some things you say but thats plain retarded! The guys a R-sport car dealer, he has probably driven more RS' of all ages than anyone else on here.
