Various reasons for it mate, but there’s some other bits that can’t be seen that make a big improvement.

You’re an observant fucker! Lol! Yes mate it is.

Lol! It’s not for me though mate! This is for a mate.

Clio had to go anyway. Nowhere to build this little beaut. ?

Lol!! Nah never had a mk1 mate, and tbh, I just don’t have any time anyway.

Funnily enough mine has the factory fit electric towbar! It’s never been used! Lol

Yeah it didn’t need much extra coding as it’s pretty well specced, but it’s nice to be able to code in stuff like the alpina gearbox software etc. Nah mate. Family life has taken over, so no time for a great deal of anything anymore. I’m lucky if I get to watch f1 in peace and quiet! Lol...

No mate.

Yeah one of, if not THE best AG’s that’s out there. No mate. I’m sure the new owner will be along to introduce himself soon enough though.

Yes the wishbone bushes are totally different. The extra castor was taken care of by offsetting the bush fitment. I used to run them on my cup.

Lol I don’t think I will mate tbh. Nothing appeals, and I just don’t have the time as proven with the AG. Gearboxes will still be rebuilt, but I can’t say for how long. Garage is getting converted mate, so no space!

Indeed it is, but nothing ever lasts forever mate. Echo and the Bunnymen even sang a song about it! Lol

Yeah I think I’m done with trackdays and stuff now tbh mate. It’s genuinely upset me saying goodbye to FKU, but it was the right thing to do. What’s next? Not sure mate. Not even sure that my head or hearts in it anymore tbf. I’ll be banging the mperformance kit on the 30d, but that’s about it...

Well you won’t find one in better condition than that one mate, I can guarantee you that 100%. Gearboxes ain’t that bad. I’ve also found better synchro rings for them.

Well I’ve just said goodbye to MK11 FKU. I’m going to miss that car massively, but only covering 1200 miles in my ownership, and not using it since FCS last year, meant it was the right thing to do. It’s going to a good home and will be staying on the forum, so there’s one good thing!

It’ll do that very well mate.

I can’t remember where I got the v36 from tbh mate, but i think it was from clean your car. They also do the pads from memory. The beauty of v36 is that it cuts and also polishes, so no requirement for a follow up finishing compound or pad. From my experience of this, they’re not wrong either...

Chemical guys v36 and an orange pad hex logic pad. That’s all you’ll ever need! Lol! It just works. I’ve got the af kit and wasn’t that impressed with it tbh.

Well it’ll need custom ratios as they won’t be suited to boost!

@Eddie555 you’ve got a superior diff, you’ll not need aero. ?

Yep, you need a thin jaw puller to get them off without damaging the teeth.

Yeah that’s fair enough mate. ??

Just sayin..........?? https://www.cliosport.net/threads/2x-rebuilt-jc5-129-gearboxes.824721/

We’ve already got one thread running for this, so I don’t think we need another tbh.

Buy a kit, fit it to your car and drive it. I guarantee you 100% you’d notice the difference immediately. It’s one of those strange sensations that until you’ve experienced it, it’s hard to describe.

Roll centre makes the steering response improved and also has a dramatic effect on the handling. The diff isn’t as noticeable until you put the power down out of a junction/bend etc.

I may be able to help you out with a box, but won’t know for a week or 2 when it turns up and it’s stripped.

Not far from me then now mate.

Various ways to fit the oil cooler. Fit it on its end and vertical in front of the alternator. Lay it down flat so it’s face down with the tarmac and duct it accordingly. Look at the setup on an F80 M3 if you’re not sure what I’m on about. Mount it behind the bumper and make various holes to...
