On a near standard road car I wouldn't bother but, on track, it's probably the first thing I would do to mine. Without traction control, my Cup spins up the inside wheel for fun on track days, especially if it's damp. A diff would help it along no end I would expect.

Really pleased you've got to the bottom of the problems Steve. Car looks great and power is good too. What's the next mod? :tongueclosed:

Agreed, it's spot-on.

I think this could be a good buy if the price is right. Looks pretty good, has someone with plenty of experience behind it and seems to do the numbers. They don't have the name in performance road cars, but they are certainly going the right way about changing it. They have a decent chunk of...

Thanks for the info. I did think it was strange that people said it was only the 200 Cup that had swivel hubs but took it at face value. My mate has said I can borrow his 197 for a few days so will see how I get on with it.

Interesting. Though if I made the change, it wouldn't stay civilised! Which hubs did the R3 use? I was under the impression that the swivel hubs didn't appear on the MK3 until the 200 Cup chassis but was flicking through a 197 project thread recently and it looked like it had them? It's a very...

Like that!

@midge has measured subframes and says that there isn't a difference

Would love to see them some time, bet it sounded epic at full bore. I agree, it's amazing what a laugh a near standard car can be. I know you've not done many miles yet, but how are you finding the change? My plan was to strip my Cup out and rally prep it but it's getting a bit tired. A mate of...

That spoiler transforms these. Like it a lot.

Wow, that was a year ago?! Time flies! Did you ever get any videos of you giving it the big 'un? It sounded amazing at the start of that video. That was quite an engine.

The more I look at these, the more I like them!

Did you get to the bottom of your running issues? I was hoping to come along but got a lot on this weekend unfortunately :(

One of the best looking Clio engine bays around that.

Thanks mate, interesting to know. Do you know how they did the roll centre correction? Slightly different note, do you know much about the R3 Clio? I know you have spent plenty of time looking at the engines, but was curious about the suspension etc.

What kind of spec is an X85 racer compared to a road car?

You forgot EP3 and Megane. Maybe Mini too?

Lordy. That must be some Arab rich kid on his holidays, surely? The Veyron just doesn't get any prettier with age...

Love it!

Saw these over the weekend...

Seeing my mate in his 1.7 Puma harassing cars with more than twice the power is hilarious. Nothing wrong with low-powered track cars. Good way to learn how to drive.

Those wheels are approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000x better than the other ones.

Sounds ace, even at low revs. Nice rasp to it. Bet it will sound awesome at full chat.

I'd do it. Is it pointless in terms of fun of driving? Probably, but part of the fun is in the building/modifying, so why not.

That's a good idea!

Interesting to hear you say that too. The Golf is an absolute weapon for a production car but, in terms if driving engagement, I'm with you, it leaves a lot to be desired. Could say that about most modern cars though I guess.

That a hint?! lol Are you boys going up Saturday morning and back Saturday afternoon?

I was going to, but had to get going sadly. Next time for sure!

Saw this last night, looks and sounds ace in the metal. Can't wait to go for a spin in it some time!

Sounds ace that!
