I shall find out mate and let you know. He's got all manner of fair ground equipment tbh. I'm sure he said that the dodgems are £1k for a day, but I'll ask him and let you guys know. :up:

Yeah I'm good thanks mate! You? If you're planning on putting the cage through to the strut tops you'd be fine to remove it tbh.

Erm, I know a lad who has dodgems.....:smiley:

It's to help prevent your ankles breaking in the event of a front end impact mate.

Sounds like you've got plenty in the pipeline then mate. Get a project thread up. :up:

A very good purchase for £250 I'd say! Anymore plans for the car?

Welcome to the club @Shane_R27 ! Looks like you've got yourself a nice R27 there mate. Like the plate too!

Bazinga. Much much better! Can't wait to get them fitted and bed the ds1.11's in. It'll fuckin stop now!! Also bought a service kit for the 200, so I'll have that done and dusted in the next couple of weeks. All genuine renault parts used! I'll be dropping the gear oil at the same time and...

@mossyv6 do you still have all the original v6 parts?

Awesome work as always @mossyv6! Your wife must be THE most understanding woman out there! Lol

I think the worst thing Keith, is the fact that A LOT of people knew and covered it up, deleting comments etc etc.

I'll have a watch mate. If you're wondering why I asked, it's because the n/s wheels haven't gone into positive camber (or don't appear to have done), so it actually gives an indication of how much load it's under for a given speed.

What's the cornering speed in this shot mate?

@Akay @dann2707 @Coops Turbo are all relatively local to you mate. I'm just down the road in Lichfield. Big meet coming up this weekend mate. CSF (ClioSport Festival) is on at blyton park.

Ah I was on the pace mate! Lol!! I'm pretty sure that h&r do 15mm hubcentric spacers tbh. Bumper brackets are easy to fix. They just need 'massaging' with a grinder. The wing holds the bumper in place anyway.

Ah ok, sounds like there's not much choice then. On my 200 I run 20mm spacers with longer bolts. They've seen some abuse now too and I've had no issues, but they're also hubcentric. You'd be fine to run a set of longer studs and spacers, providing they're hubcentric on anything over 10mm. They...

I'm not a fan of spacers personally mate as it throws the scrub geometry out too much on the 1*2's. I'd go no more than 10mm, 15mm at a push up front personally.

Well the spring rates ain't the stiffest, but we can work with it! For a start, go full stiff on the rear dampers and about half way on the fronts. Take it out on track and see how you get on, but be aware that the rear end will now be significantly livelier than before. Too stiff? Drop it off...

What snow foam have you used mate?

Ok we have a starting point! Right next question is what suspension setup do you have? Springs and dampers, or coilovers? If it's the latter, do you know what the spring rates are? Are they adjustable? With that info I can give you a pretty good starting point for where to go mate.

What geometry settings have you got mate? Also to reduce understeer, try trail braking. It'll bring the back end into play more too.

Tbf, so do I mate. But I think that's down to the colour.

Ultraleggeras or speedlines. Lol

They look much better in gloss black. In the standard colour they look a bit busy if that makes sense? It's the details where the spokes meet the rim that I'm on about.

From some angles I like the cup spoiler on mine, then from others I think it looks utterly w**k! I quite like the sprint spoiler, but because I'm a fussy fucker, I'd want it to be all smooth and flowing like the cup spoiler on the mk2's. 🙈

They are indeed 5100's. As for spring rates I can no longer remember what I told you! Lol! Old age that.

And also seize. The pistons are also too large so you'll upset the rear brake balance.

Why? What do you think you'll gain from doing this?

What are you trying to achieve? Do you just want to run 197 rear calipers on standard sized discs?

Are you sure it's not just the crap on the discs needs cleaning off? Failing that you need to see if the pads have got stuck in the caliper. That would cause them to stick. Try winding the piston all the way back in. It may just be sticking slightly from being stood.
