Got the track car up on blocks today for over the winter and for a refresh. Noticed the drivers side driveshaft boot has torn open. Is there a guide on here for changing the whole shaft at all?

Perfect. Appreciate your input on this mate as I’ve been reading so many different variations and opinions all at which come in at significant cost differences. I’ll give the front coilovers and rear shock/spring setup a go and let you know how it goes 👍

I did mean the 172 :) What coilovers are you running on the front? This setup would save me a lot of cost on full coilovers setup and like you say, gives good handling.

Could you list your suspension setup please @Filters ? Keen to give this a go from what you have said.

So do you reckon I should be looking more at 10/10kg if possible?

Checked on kam racing and they offer more than 8kg on the rear so confused by you saying they only offer 8kg?

Bumping this old thread! Looking at getting some BC BR for track only 172. After reading many threads, I’m still none the wiser what to go for. Some say stiff front, softer rear, others say the opposite. I’m no track hero but want to be able to push on so wondering what people are using now...

Have you even uncovered it yet??

@Mr Underhill post a pic if you have one and how much you want for it 👍

Hi Guys, Any recommended car covers for the ph2? Needs to be waterproof as the track car will be indoors over winter but does get “moist” in the lockup.

Which elf gearbox oil is it now? Keeping in mind this is track car

Is this the correct Motul stuff? If so, how much does the gearbox take and is this a decent price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325472815764?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3hyRrutZQQ-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=lxekGweUQbO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yep, I remember seeing you there. Was a great day and weather was on form. Don’t suppose you got any footage of mine? My GoPro decided not to record all day 😞 I’ve now decided on a Nardo grey wrap which I will be doing over the winter break. Out at donington on 3rd November if you fancy it...

Was meant to say none removal lol.

That looks mint! (Bar the plugs) Any tips for covering the plug holes?

This is what I want the finish to be like. So just shed load of TFR and a steam cleaner? What about cleaning things inside the arches such as driveshafts that are oily, shocks / springs etc. Same approach and will be ok blasted with water aswell? I just don’t want to put water where I...

What’s the best approach to cleaning the engine as best as possible to remove oil, grime and general crap. Doing track days I want to be able to come back from track, clean down the engine and be ready to go again. As it stands, the bay is grimey and would be hard to tell if there was a new...

So as i mentioned earlier, I managed to get my hands on a mk3 cup racer scoop. Unfortunately it was Red so I put my skills to the test. With track day tomorrow (Sunday) at Blyton and the scoop not turning up until a Friday night it had only given me today to get it sprayed, wrapped and fitted...

Legend, thanks!

Have managed to source a mk3 cup racer scoop. Very excite. Hopefully it turns up in time for track day at Blyton on Sunday as it’s looking like it’s going to be a scorcher. I don’t suppose any of you know how far you set it back from the top of windscreen so I can get a rough location for the...

Bumping this thread. Which scoop is this? I have found a TRS teardrop on demontweeks which looks similar. Alternatively, anyone know anyone who is selling one?

Lol thanks guys. 😂

Hi Guys. I’m not a huge fan of the orange stripe separating the silver from white. Was wondering what you photoshop gurus could do with the attached image. I’m thinking of still keeping a stripe to divide but not sure on what colour. Using iPhone edit image skills is not cutting it so hoping...

I’ll have a go at it that’s for sure lol. What did you do with all of the wires running front to back down the sides of doors etc? I do need to have a go at the wires to get rid of what’s not being used but that’s another job for another day. @imprezaworks I’m at Blyton 10th sept by the way...

Thinking of painting the inside of track car. Any advice / best products to use? I’m thinking of having it white so it’s nice and cool in the summer but not sure if this is a good idea?

Hi guys, Have bought a Sabelt steering wheel so obviously no horn button. Can’t get my hands on a ph1 stalk and I want a separate button next to the ESP button either way. Question is… does anybody know which is the horn cable that is in the connector located at the rear of the steering...

Just jumping on this thread save starting a new one. Just put a sabelt cup racer steering wheel in so obv no horn button. Plan is to put a momentary switch on the dash somewhere. I touched the two horn wires together yesterday and it honked as it should. Today I fitted the switch which...

Appreciate the advice. It’s my first outing in this clio so planning on either doing 5-10 laps or 10 min stints, whichever comes first.

You reckon the ad08r will hold out well in the dry? I would get a set of AR1 but priority is a set for wet with this crappy weather

Thread hijack! Need to get a set of wets for Blyton on 30th July. Hopefully stays dry but with this weather forecast who knows. I’ve got a set of new ad08r on at the moment and have a set of NS2R on the spare set however these only have a day at best left in them so don’t want to risk it and...
