How are the AR-1's performing? :)

it was a guy who makes bags, wallets, caps and all sort of accessories. I'm not UK based but you should find craftsmen like him around you Another ideea would be to rescue an old mountain back pack and use the material for the job

I know the ultras in that size and bolt spec is only ET37, never heard of 30. I have the same wheels, with no spacers and federal rsr tyres. The rear tyres used to rub on the arch (top of it) but had the arch pulled out a bit and it's fine now. The fronts rub in heavy downhill cornering...

I have some 15" 6,5J steel rims, would they be ok for track day what do you think? I kinda hate them (they rusted a bit and look daft) but on the other hand buying decent alloys is not that cheap.

I'm in in no hurry tbh, winter is coming so I won't rush into a decision unless it's a very good deal. I've read about the AR1's, the federals and they all do have good reviews. I could also get A048's at about 82 quid a corner so I have some options to choose from :)

Well i guess I could ask about their age and see. But at 70 quit a corner they are tempting

I have asked a friend who sells car parts and stuff for some track day tyres options. Initially I was thinking of federal fz-201 or nankang AR-1 but he's unable to provide those so he told me he could get those ZR9 tyres at a decent price. They look very similar to toyo's R888 and was curious if...

Seen a guy asking what parts are needed to convert a non cup 1*2 to cup specs in the expert section on the renaultsport.uk site and the answer was that the costs will be prohibitive and the better way is to sell the car and get a cup packed instead.. Now as far as I know the 182 cup for example...

your car looks pretty low! I'm curious how much really cause I had some issues with mine the first time I got the coilies on it. It used to bottom out quite often so now it's like this:

c'mon renault, do us a favour and get MAD again with the rs 16 :)

I wouldn't touch coilovers under 500 quid. Better to go OE dampers and eibach springs

Was it the metal bumper bracket (where the corner of the bumper attaches) or the metal that's part of the chassis located at arround 10 o'clock as you are viewing the wheel from the side? Mine rubs on the metal piece

plus the 16mm spacers.. how does it feel? I have a thread on adding spacers or not and the way that it affects the geometry. I'm tempted to fit 10mm on the front as the tyre shoulder is quite close to the coilover adjuster rings due to increased camber but some say this will alter the steering...

yeah but I have the std bushes on the lower arms so nothing to correct there like you did. Fitting spacers would make it worse because while turned the wheel will have a slightly left-forward position and could rub even harder. I've seen that you have got rid of the lower part of the arch...

great lookin speedlines you got there :) what offset are they? 43?

good to know! they're cheaper than the federal fz-201's also which is nice. Found them at 80 quid a corner on ebay

just do a general check of the suspension. if you want some upgrades then it's a good time to change bushes(powerflex maybe) and new top mounts (if required) I'm a fan of the solid type ones, adjustable if possible :) Ball joints, track rod ends are to be checked also. Also check the geometry...

One year later lol.. As above, have you sorted it mate? I have the EXACT same problem with mine, it's lowered about the same as yours but I have the original wishbone bushes and it still rubs in the exact spot!. It looks quite like yours with the wheel moved towards the front of the car. I...

the gaz golds are decent, I'd say you keep them. The refurb is quite cheap on them also. Maybe gaz will supply you some shorter bump stops and together with harder springs you won't be bottoming out anymore. Oh and get some coilover covers to protect them

Well let us know what gaz say about this and what springs you will get :)

I had no spacers on mine, the bolts were the std renault ones so good quality. The have been fine (never came loose) untill the first track day

I made mine at a local guy who makes bags, wallets and stuff. He had a material that looked like waterproof and quite sturdy so I'm pleased with the result :)

This happened to many people, with nasty aftermath on some ocassions, I doubt there were issues every time, as far as I know it's about the heating cycles that are making the bolts coming loose. For some reason (can't really explain) the stud-nut assembly is less likely to give up in the same...

do you have a photo of the exact spot?

plus side is they won't come loose. I fitted studs to mine after being on a 20 min session and the bolts comming loose so much as I could get them undone by hand! pretty scary stuff as they were torqued just a day before! Done another track day this weekend and checked the studs after and they...

Hi rob! I had this issue with mine and long story short I had to shorten the bump stops in order to gain some travel. I have the GHA kit but I am pretty sure that the shock bodies are the same lenght, I also have the k-tec solid mounts which may be about the same stack height as yours. here's...

if you do trackdays I'd keep them

feedback after fitment! :)

had no idea the rears weren't rebuildable, my bad!
