I would say you have too much rear spring bias anyway and adding a rarb would push it to being too tail happy, I would run a 525-550 front spring with a 600 rear and wouldn't bother with a rear arb but fit a PMS axle strengthening kit instead

In gear oil ?

I think Jim is my new hero if he can use the car as a daily on those poundage springs for more than a month

The Harness is now in the Micra, The seat has been smuggled into the loft before mrs bash spotted it, got a picture with James sat in it so I can use the old ''You've seen it before, I've had it ages'' and show photographic evidence to back it up when I pull it out to use it in a few months...

Can't wait to buy it off you just after christmas:smile:

Reduction in unsprung weight makes the suspension keep the tyre on the road more of the time, BUT! Faster acceleration comes form the moment of inertia, which is ''a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, which is the sum of the products of the mass of each...

Buy an Alfa Jim, either Craig will be sick of fixing it or it'll have blown up after 3 months anyway. I'd personally recommend 156 2.4 jtd they're proper torque monsters once remapped.

Excellent work matey :up: it's motivated me to get cracking on with next seasons hillclimber again

needs bigger breathers by the sound if it's popping seals out, Car & car conversions is what became PPC I think John

The workmanship is just immense, you should be very proud.

Rear wheels need swapping side to side matey as the tyres are directional and pointing the wrong way

Micra needs Lowz then it'll do the clio through the twisteez, k11 micra's are the ultimate new driver's car use to being cheap to own and run, plus they are indestructible mechanically

Good work Dan, keep chipping away at it you've got six months before the good weather returns so don't rush it.:up:

This is copied from another thread and i'm too lazy to write it again: I did a lot of research on ratios for the hillclimber and what Mark says above is 100% you can do it on the cheap with the shorter fifth gear set but ultimately the gripper final drive is the way to go for the required...

As far as I"m aware Colin the battery can be in the passenger compartment as long as it's a sealed gel type battery, but if you if you have heard different I'd appreciate a bit of info on what happened at harewood, as for the rest of the electrics etc if they were fitted as standard equipment...

they're worth the pain

need to remove it mate, northloopcup also suggested filling with lead shot at the time IIRC, this might work better.

Sorry Luke I don't, did you spend whole weekend holding the stick to stop the rattle

I've murdered 7 people but haven't told anyone or been asked if I have, so it's all ok

18th edition '' in service emissions standards '' require all vehicles registered after Aug 92 to run an advanced emission control system ( cat ) if the vehicle was in the european whole vehicle type approval scheme, if they are to used on the road. imported vehicle form outside the eu don't...

probably had a 1600 tu engine fitted at some point in it's life and dvla had been notified uk rallyes were 1360 tu 75hp piece of turd, so a lot of people put the 1.6 in out of the 306, saxo, etc

What makes you think it's not a Rallye

Yeah I have the same one Dan, I mostly use it to run up bolts or long studded nuts before final torque up, also handy for removing bell housing bolts (once you've cracked them off) or in any bolts in tight spaces due to it's compact size.

mine did it when the pre cat lambda was starting to fail

As impezaworks said it sounds tyre related, I had the same on my Honda S2000 after 2 new rear tyres fitted it started immediately darting left and right under acceleration/deceleration, both were same make and size but manufacture date was 6 months apart, when I measured the circumference with...

Possibly had the belt let go at 50k requiring the head off.

Ph1 air box with a itg filter fitted and a nice Samco silicone elbow onto the throttle body or an itg maxogen kit seem to give the best results

I wondered if it was the old dear on the till's daily.

Not a clio but an awesome looking track ready LY R26 in Marks and sparks car park in cross gates today around 4pm, looked a fair weapon!
