Is England different from the scottish classes? Clios are A2 for road going class and B2 for modified in Scotland

Would it still come under B class or would it then go into C class as clio’s didnt have the option of a turbo as standard? Would be in similar class to cars with engine conversions I would think I tried to have a look at the blue book but wasn’t very clear as usual!

Link below to the 2018 blue book, it isn’t the easiest to understand especially for someone new to it. https://www.motorsportuk.org/assets/000bb2018completelow-res88.pdf Being a turbo conversion may really over complicate things for getting it to fit into a class and then you requiring alot...

In A2 road going class you dont need any extra equipment over standard, just certain criteria to be met such as no rose joints / solid top mounts, poly carb windows to start as theres a few things. You can still have it highly modified in this class With being a turbo conversion this will...

Such a shame when rust appears like this as usually by the time you see it from the exterior its far too late. Integra DC2’s were bad for the same, rotting from the inside out

Theres a direct comparison between normal 172 lower arm and 172 cup lower arm

Which elbow are you referring to? Cant think what part you are talking about

Part no’s for those interested, £68 for all 4

Yeah got them from renault. £68 for them all together. Will look today see if I still have the invoice for part numbers

Old cages came out no problem with a wee bit of fiddling, new ones slotted in no problem. Job done. Well worthwhile while the subframes dropped imo

Great, cheers for that. What I was hoping to hear Removed one cage yesterday, just a case of pushing the locating tabs in as much as possible and prising it out with a mixture of drivers / prybar. Will be a bit easier maybe with subframe dropped rather than doing it with it in place. Making...

Just dropped my subframe for a manifold swap and 3/4 of the bolts came away ok, one of the fronts required the cage removed and held with a socket. Im looking to replace all the nuts & cages as I fear I may not be so lucky the next time round and some of the cages look quite rusty and aged...

For all the extra time involved I just took the rad out the way to make it alot easier for myself as any space gained is always an advantage when working on the clios!

Manifold will be mild steel I think. Im currently having a V band installed on my manifold but having it done before I fit it as would be quite tight for access when its on the car and getting the weld all the way round it. If access is too tight, you could unbolt the manifold and surely be...

I just added in a simple isolator under the bonnet while I was doing the wiring for battery relocation

Had no anti rattle clips on my CL RC5’s and they rattled like hell and sounded awful However I Have read that PBS’s are alot better without them and dont sound like the cars disintegrating so sure you’ll be fine

Their not as expensive as you think! This is a well known sprint / hillclimb competitor who supplies batteries. PS09 is reccomended for Clio

Is it for a daily or track car only? Looked into lithium ion ones? Im still just running the odyssey pc680

Pure Motorsport ones but hefty price tag

Iv ran R1R’s on my dc2 integra and used them on scottish roads with lots of standing water with no problems Bought them as a starter tyre for when I was doing sprints / hillclimbs to then use them as a wet tyre once I got a dedicated dry / softer tyre They didnt appear to have overly stiff...

Im sure you’ll need a different camber setup from road tyres aswel for using slicks. Might be better off with something like the Extreme VR2 in R5 compound which are proving to be really good in sprints / hills compared to the previous tyres alot of people ran (R888 SG) Im speaking from a road...

Thats ideal, thanks. Alot more comprehensive than the ones from the SD website

Is it the same fitting instructions as on their site? I just bought one last week

On a long distance drive they wont be under the same strain as cornering on track, wont be working so hard and generate less heat than a track day Plus he’ll be carrying more weight which will be a requirement for slightly higher pressures Just go by OEM pressures as stated for the load your...

Dry ice for the roof would have to be on the outside, not sure how well it would penetrate and once its brittle it still needs a bit of a hit / scrape to break it up. I tried doing the bits on the side of the gear stick tunnel / rear seats with just laying the dry ice against it but couldnt get...

Iv heard of heat gun and scraper for the roof but put a damp towel on the roof on the outside to help keep it cool?

Worth looking into the lithium ion jump packs available now, I have the one that was made by Powervamp but just recently seems they discontinued it. Sure there will be other brands out there. Fine and compact, light and the leads / clamps are small too. Every battery nowadays seems cramped and...

Get some dry ice in pellet form, apply it over the sound deadening for about 5 mins. Then it literally breaks off in large pieces. Little bit of tardis to get the residue left off. Can do a whole car in less than 90mins

Jack Kemp has stopped doing them if its the same guy im thinking of as not enough profit in it but he has a few sets left that he's selling up. Just put a post on the other day

Some good reading here, who is all offering group n timing then? From what Iv gathered in this thread its bloke and EFi? Is it just the labour involved for the belt change / timing setup and then mapping on top? Would be good to know a rough cost.
