Yeah do it with the caliper still attached. Are you replacing the cables? Pair of pliers and give it a real good wiggle. Spray plenty of wd40 at it and leave it to soak in first though.

They can be a bit of a t**t if they're seized in. Usually a good thrashing and a bit of wd40 sorts them out.

The conical spacers are more so that they sit on the landing of the ball mate. If they move enough to require that, it's either the axle bushes or the shell is fucked!

Are they both spherical bearings? Or is the top one a rubber bush? If the top one is a bush and the lower is a spherical bearing, use the lower ones. Less compliance and less likely to fail like the rubber bushes do.

££££'s though unfortunately. Admittedly though, quality costs.

I'm on the pms rear spherical bearing kit. Can't fault it tbh and never had any issues.

No. The 182 stub axle has a thicker base to it. They all run the same size rear bearing, caliper and discs though.

Your gearbox choices are jc5 089 which is a ph1 speedo drive gearbox with a different final drive. Jc5 129 is also a speedo drive gearbox and is found in ph2 172's and cups. Some have the speedo drive sensor fitted and some don't. It also has a different final drive to the 089. The gearbox that...

Toe in at the rear will help it generate heat in the rear tyres.

Back in 2011, he may have been able to answer this question. He's not been on the forum since 2013, so I think you may have s**t out buddy.

Interesting. I was told that the 403's needed the different pistons. Not a worry for me though as I'm on the R3 maxi pistons and knobbly cams.

If this doesn't clash with any of the good 'Ring dates I'll come along I think. Assuming I can convince myself to stop being a lazy t**t and finish the car off of course.

I can't believe it! A turbo Clio that isn't being broken up after a few weeks of use! :wink: Nice looking flamer you've got yourself here mate. :up:

Honestly, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that you can't run 403's on standard pistons.

You'll need to make sure the pistons are pocketed enough though mate.

I used to run v2's on mine and found them too soft for track work. Ideal as a track/road setup though. I eventually went for stiffer rear springs and had the rear dampers revalved to suit. Still not stuff enough! Lol! If you plan on running slicks, they won't be any good I'm afraid mate. Your...

Catcams 403's.

Just personal preference. I see it as a lot of faffing for no real world gain if your sticking with the standard inlet. Solid lifters and a 8k plus rev limit, then yeah worth looking at deleting.

Yes mate. I wouldn't remove the vvt personally.

Well you've got to overcome the belt tensioner if you skim too much off the block. Difficult to say the power output, but maybe 220bhp. Depends on if the pistons will hold out tbh.

If your going to all that effort why not stick forged pistons in? The oe inlet will be the restriction as well even with the lairy cams.

Lol I'm still 25mph off the speed that Jann Mardenborough was at when he took off at flugplatz. @Knuckles heres the current speed limits and where they are located. Being lifted for 2016 apparently as they're smoothing out flugplatz as 1 of 16 improvements to the circuit for safety reasons.

It's a one way de-restricted toll road. There were only speed limits in one section (breidscheid/adenau bridge), but after the gtr took off and killed a spectator, they've added a few more in.

It's a plastic coating on the 5th gear selector fork itself mate. 1st and 2nd gear selector fork has it as well, but 3rd and 4th gear don't. It's just a bare brass selector fork.

Possibly @EVOgone?

Yeah you can fit Ast top mounts mate. I'm trying to figure out how you've got too much castor from fitting coilovers though? Doesn't make sense.

What wishbones have you got fitted? If they're cup ones you can fit non cup items instead. Or you need adjustable top mounts.

Is it a proper cup or a cc equipped one? If it's a proper cup they're easy as dan says. Cc equipped not so much. Lol! You can get at everything nice and easy with the bonnet up

Spray the nut for the power cable with wd40 or similar now as well! They're normally seized on solid!

I'm sure they will be along soon enough with the details. :up:
