Measured the shafts before fitting. Fully compressed a ph1 shaft is 730mm. The two piece is 750mm and the cup is 750mm. I've got a cup subframe and the roll centre kit so I need the longer shafts otherwise the car won't go! The fact it's a ph2 shaft on a ph1 isn't the issue. I've got the right...

Just fit a Bosch 4 bar pressure regulator. More flow (enough for my 207bhp anyway) and better fuel atomisation. Better solution for you than changing the injectors. How did you find your Bilstein btw?

Shouldn't be. I'm running softer suspension and less sticky tyres than some. I've just been unlucky I think.

On Sunday I got my car back together with the new genuine Renault shafts. It's been fine since, in fact its been brilliant, absolutely love the car now its on ASTs and the roll centre correction kit. Last night the gearbox oil started leaking, I'd heard a slight clunk on the way home and...

Yes the spigots are critical for centering the wheel but dependant on the vehicle itself (how sensitive it is due to geometry etc.), centreing capability of the wheels bolts/nuts and the torquing sequence the centreing of the wheel is a variable. They take no load. Think of it as a bolted joint...

Well done mate :) get the graph up later so I can see your torque curve!

No difference

Might be able to get some cheap from the states? Handy to know Faulkner do them if I ever want it hard in the rear...ooherr

You don't have to have the original shaft. Yeah that's it, splined bar. If you know what overall length you need including the CVs then just send the CVs.

Yes they were :) They do 10" http://www.hmsraceparts.com/Eibach-1-9-ID-10-Length-Springs/ I could go stiffer all round but it's so composed and comfy on the road whilst having minimal roll I don't know if I'd want to. Joe is running the same rates as me IIRC You'd be surprised how strong some...

If you can supply CV joints I can get shafts done for £60 per side. EN24 Steel tested to 1200bhp on a drag spec Escos among other things. They made me a custom equal length shaft for my Mk2 Fiesta, they've done MTX conversion shafts for Mk1 and 2 Fiesta as well.

You've got Eibach springs on yours whereas mine are AST springs (same colour paint as the Cooksport springs funny enough :P so I wouldn't be surprised if the planned Cooksport coilovers have something to do with AST one way or another) so my guess would be that Eibach didn't make a suitable free...

I either do it myself or my local garage with an ex RS technician

I'd do a full steering and suspension refresh. New oe bushes, track rods, rod ends, wishbones, ball joints (you get these with the wishbones). Maybe some coilovers (Gaz on a budget or Bilstein if not) and then the ktec exhaust.

I like it, a bit more power from a remap and it would be quicker again.

Wouldn't bother with the splitter, just another thing to catch. Leave it original although clear side repeaters and silvertec bulbs are ok. As for an exhaust I'd get a ktec stealth (not the supersport version)

I run td1.2 with the correct spigot rings and they're fine. No issues so far on the road or the 5 track days I've done with them.

I like it apart from the spoiler. Been a while since I've seen a car kitted up, let alone done well.

Two more sleeps ;)

Speak to Weeksy on here for some Gaz with full coilovers all around.

When you get a new shaft from Renault the splined joint is greased.

It could be the drive shaft centre bearing or the wheel bearings. If you could get it to a garage up on ramps and see if you can diagnose it spinning the wheels The cv joints tend to clunk rather than whine.

Sounds like a c**t, looks like a c**t. Shoot them all, I'd consider sparing the girl as she seemed sensible but I saw those stupid pink glasses....

The difference with the new headlights is huge! The badge is a nice touch, I was going to do it to mine but I no longer have a grille to do it to :p

Thanks for that Mark. I'll get them swapped over then.

Here we go at long last! Going to make a start fitting them :)

TNT about £20 or so. Do as above.

You could get adapters I think they're roughly £50-60 a corner. I'd just sell on the Jap wheels unless they were really special.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but that's definitely the solution if so! Tbh on the road I doubt they'll be much different to yours, I'll just have damping adjustment for track use really as they'll be on fully soft for road.

I took the car for its first proper drive with the roll centre kit fitted. It's good! I wrote a brief review on it here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?717989-Roll-centre-bump-steer-corrector-hubs/page36 Also had some good news yesterday, apparently my ASTs are ready so I've...
