Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Cheers mate! ;)

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' For all out performance the gripper is the way forward, but if you want a fit and forget option go for the Quaife. That's as simple as it gets really. Gripper maintenance ain't to bad either if it's not getting hammered in a racing environment and I'd...

No worries mate! Your welcome!

How extensive a roll cage are you after mate? I've got a custom cages cage and my car is road legal, has x door bars and it's fully welded in. It's not the full on thing they sell though as unless your racing it's just not needed. I opted for the cl4 kit as it's more than up to the job.

Fronts are too soft - try a 450lb spring to start with. Rears are waaaaay to soft. If it's track only you want 500's in there as a minimum. The rates you've posted are ideal on the road, but heavily compromised for track. Look at Ast sportline 1's

Yeah I'd say your about 10-15mm lower than standard at that ride height now mate tbh. Did you ever post/find out what the spring rates are on the spax setup?

Your powers are weak old man! :p

Wishbone angle looks loads better mate. You'll definitely feel a difference from it. Personally I'd be very tempted to run a tad more camber up front as well. No more than 3 degrees though. My wishbones look similar to that, but I'm lowered a good 50+mm ;) Set the tracking and get it on track...

Lol! I've got a matching set of 15" turinis as well!

<- Blue cups with green wheels are for winners! ;)

The Renault stuff I've used before was loctite 518 and it's red. Good stuff!

Yeah full cage is fine. Make sure it's padded though. They had a hissy fit at me 2 years ago because I had none!! My reasoning of 'I've got no brains to smash out on it anyway mate' didn't go down too well.

they got banned a year or so ago mate. God knows why.

Not as good as the golf videos boba motorsport do, but impressive all the same! http://youtu.be/JwabyPcvACc

Fletcher is the corbeau revo one with the wrap around head restraints? If it is you'll not be allowed on the ring mate. Just a heads up so you don't end travelling over there and being turned away.

Lol! That guys a legend in my book!

Yeah me too mate, and giving someone a starting point is all I try to do. It's just a shame it gets covered so many times. Search function should bring all the old discussions up. No offence meant to the OP either btw.

Saint. Patience of a. harvsurrey

Yeah that's fair enough mate, I can understand your desire for safety equipment over performance stuff. Budget? What are they? Lol! Ideally you need the car on a flat level surface to set the ride height as well and leave it unloaded. Adjust the o/s/f coilover 1-2 turns more than the n/s too...

That's not a roll centre kit mate. It's bump steer. Roll centre and bump steer are 2 completely different things. My advice is work with what you've got to start with.

I know! It was to keep the Hunter happy! It took some effort Tony - lots.

At a guess I'd say that's lowered about 45mm over standard. Anything over 20mm lowering compromises the roll centres BUT the chassis on the clios is very good at absorbing this, especially if the dampers are valved correctly and it's not under sprung. First off you need to know what the spring...

Re: Road/Track 172 I noticed this when I had them mate, but figured you were aware already. If I'd known you weren't I'd have whacked some in for you like I did a few of the others from the group buy.

It was more a reply for frenchthing tbh Morgan. Thanks for the nudge though as I'd not seen it. :)

Yeah I measured it all on mine and they are monumentally s**t in standard trim tbh. Got all the measurements written down as well. Before you ask, no I'm not posting them! Reason being, I'm packing my house up to get ready to move so it's in a box marked 'shed and car stuff'. The modified hubs...

Any jc5 130 will be fine. You could also fit a jc5 129 (ph2 172 speedo drive box) as the ratios are the same, or a jc5 089 which is ph1 with speedo drive, but has a different final drive ratio.

Your welcome Jacob. :)

Yeah not to keen myself Morgan, but you could easily buy some of the flat universal ones off eBay though.

We've got a gurner at work. Looks like the hobgoblin on the side of marstons trailers. Dead ringer almost!

They're some nice rims you've got yourself there! That garage ain't bad neither! What's the chequer plate stuff on the floor? Vinyl?
