Sold this a few days ago , went to join a porsche and cosworth is someone's collection.
I bought it originally to use for fun while I had the 360 for special days, sadly never really used it much and with having the Porsche now I really didn't have a use for the clio trophy.
Decided to get...
If I still had a track car I probably would, justnow on my trophy road car its probably not worth it for all the use it gets.
I would say on a standard power track car the rc kit will buy you as much time as a diff on a tight track.
Once you start going up in power and struggle for traction...
Ive had the Northloop kit and the ACS in the past and the Northloop kit was much better quality.
I know of at least 3 cars that have had the bottom pin snap on the ACS kits while on track.
Fabspeed and high quality first time ive seen those words together :ROFLMAO:
Custom is probably the only way to go as exhaust sounds is a very personal thing , my 182 has a piper cat back which is meant to be one of the quietest aftermarket but even that has a bit of a drone at cruising speeds.
A local car photographer had asked if he could do some pics of my cars for his portfolio , came out brilliant considering the weather was terrible today.
Decided to give the clio a little run today and bring it home while I have some garage space, first time I've even seen the car in about 3 months.
Covered up
Un wrapped
Started first turn and outside
Back home for how long I dont know.
I had nitrons on my Lotus and was very impressed , but as they are a race car part the build quality as far as longevity goes isnt the best for road use and really a yearly overhaul is to be expected.
I dont have the track car anymore have a trophy road car now but to be honest ive bought that as much as an investment as to actually use, but it is still fun to drive something very analogue and not overly fast for on the road
The green car was a serious spec but for what i had in it , i could...
Pulled this out of storage last week as I had space in my garage at the house while the 570 was away for warranty work.
Battery was dead but after ma quick jump start it was good to go, really forgot how fun it is on the road.
Sadly going back to my parents garage out the way, but do have a...
Risky move taking over a business with a tarnished name, as will take a lot to change peoples minds.
I would of thought starting a fresh with a new name after buying the equipment would of been easier, just a quick google search of the name will be enough to loose a lot of business before they...
I would go with B but go with the Northloop kit over the BCS bolt on kit, Ive had both and the design/quality of Marks was better.
BUT on a road car they would need regular cleaning , you could get dust boots from McGills to try and protect the joints, I fitted boots and grease packed them...
Vapour blasting would be the best route if you want them factory fresh.
The ones on my trophy wern't too bad so i just cleaned them up and sprayed with alumablast which give a factory look.
Pulled the cover off this today and moved it out the garage, I forgot how clean it is.
Think it may now be going into storage for atleast 6 months if anyone has any suggestions , I was thinking few extra psi in the tyres, and disconnect the battery.
Light anthracite would be my choice , Turinis just suit the car so well and think at that height they look/sit better on 15's.
The fact the 2118's are boat anchors they will probably weigh more that the Turinis , so worse looks and no unsprung weight advantage.
Hard to say as no real one tire does all , with your car being heavily track biased and would think geo set up for track you will ware tires fairly quick on the road. For this time of year i would go with rainsports( but i do stay in Scotland ) then use them as your wets, as long as they dont...
For the shift lights i would use the numbers in the screen shot above +1000 on each one bar the last that i would put at 7400 , as i guess you will have a 7500 limiter set . This function will get the readings from the rev counter thats fed from your ECU.
