No worries. I wasn't offended, sorry if my reply came across short!
Track is much more fun than drag! @Russ_16v has had both the rx8 and countless clio's, and taken both on track so he'd probably know what is quickest a to b.
So I and the thousands of others who have ran their car on a drag strip don't respect their cars?
Get them on the strip, have some fun and treat them with some mechanical sympathy. It will be a good day, trust me. You have the added bonus of seeing some cool cars running normally. I prefer...
So, 4 new Michelin PS3 (non run flats) arrived and went on last week.
Obligatory s**t photos;
The first one that came off had plenty of tread, which irked me as it felt like wasted cash.
But, glad I decided to change them. 2 were on the limit on the inner edge, and 1 had this in it...
I have supercharged mine. Build thread here if it helps. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/cubs-flamer-supercharged-cage-etc.612638/
My advice;
- It isn't cheap so you need to be committed long term as you will lose money on a sale.
- Don't boost it until you've done a lot of other mods first...
For clarity.
Replace the Dephaser.
Belts and tensioners aren't negotiable either.
Waterpump is upto you. I'd replace it. But that's because I like to do a job properly.
Exactly this. Mine being one of those. Mine has a 182 engine, and not a 172.
Get the other issues resolved by a decent independant and I wouldn't worry too much about the engine.
It's only when epic cars get broken, you can really see how much effort and parts went into building it :(
But, parts of it shall live on in various other cars ;)
Ooft - lovely bike!
Be good to catch up at Bedford mate. Jamie is doing the Britcar 24hr at Silverstone which I am plannning to head down too to watch. Was going to see about rustling some people from here upto go if you're keen.
