If you have the metal spacers installed on the springs to raise the ride height, could it be these knocking?

I've set up a few race winning Gen 4 Cup cars so can give you some pointers if you contact me privately. Unfortunately can't share the full setups though

Alignment doesn't look horrendous, I've seen a lot worse. How old are the shocks? Could be a dead one. You mentioned previously about thickness of the top mounts. Have you measured the ride height of the car on a flat surface? Easy way to do it is arch to floor. If there is a drastic...

We've always fitted them inline with a -6 braided PTFE lined fuel pupe. HEL do custom fuel pipes so you could probably make something up to suit

I do motorsport alignments (and done a fair few Clios) for a living and the 2 most common problems I've found when people set up cars are that they don't use ballast to simulate driver / passenger weight when aligning, and using steering wheel clamps to hold the wheel in place when adjusting...

My brother in law put BC BR on his 182 and loves them. We have just put the BC DS on our track twingo and really like them. May even put some on my 182 Trophy to save the Sachs. If you look after them they last. Dirt and salt will obviously harm the threads so keep them clean. One of my...

I work with race car suspension for a living and I'd recommend going with a good 'regular' shock absorber over a cheap coilover. If you do want a £1000 coilover then from what I've worked with the BC works well for the money. Don't expect coilovers to be more reliable than a regular shock...

More negative front camber and neutral rear toe / toe out will help a great deal

Front or rear wheel spacers put more leverage on the bearings and will contribute to more frequent failures. I've seen it a fair bit on track Clios

I was down in Walderslade village yesterday, and there were 2 x black 182's down there. One was **04 and the other EN54. Anyone here?

ive got a blue 172 cup

Could have been me? I've got a Cup with a 'Ring sticker. What colour is your 182? Saw a Silver one around there yesterday

Yeah that's me if it was NRR, potentially my first spot!

Agreed, wasted 700k on a fully tuned Cobra and I just cant beat the Historic race cars. Fail

Yeah the Veyron is a weapon. Mines at 1248hp and 1400kg, takes a bit of setting up though but its worth it

I didn't do it online, I did it over the phone. I'm fully aware of how it works which is why I questioned everything the guy told me to cover myself

Right, the outcome was, they listened to my call and said that although I was told the total was £533, when they read the breakdown of payments to me it came out at £625... so basically thats how they covered themselves as I couldn't do the quick maths while listening to them talking to me in...

Cool, thanks for the responses guys. I'm still in the 14 day cooling off period but i've already had to cancel one insurance as they insured me then decided they didn't want to cover my mods after I had taken the policy out and declared them (which aren't even massive) so I had to cancel that...

Hi all I'm not having much luck with insurance at the moment. The latest story is this... Called up company A for a quote and it came it £57 cheaper than company B. Based on this I went for the quote from company A. The guy told me that I would be paying £533 for the year. I said that I...

RallyXmad - Chris

Does anyone else hate Quarry? Where are the places to go on this map?

Cheers mate! It's not so bad, needs a clean and polish tho!

That was me going down towards maidstone the other morning, saw you stick your hazards on. Smart trophy

Whereabouts was that? I just got home and was out and about at 5

Yes, there are 3 championships in Formula BMW, Americas, Europe and Pacific (Asia)

I don't think we will be back in Mexico City next year. The Americas championship are goin to Puebla so they will be in Mexico. The World Final could be anyway in the world. We do the European and Pacific championships so won't be anywhere near Mexico i'm afraid. You have A1GP visiting you soon...

I'm not a driver no. I wish I was! I'm a mechanic for one of the teams, sometimes we do get to drive the cars back to the garages after the races though. You have been faster in one than me!

Cool, it must have been your car I saw then! Mexico was great thanks, good to see somewhere new. It was nice to race somewhere warm in December too! Yes the cars are quite quick for something with such a small engine, they seem very fast because of how low they are and the noise! I'm glad you...

Hi Were you at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez early in December for the Formula BMW World Finals? I saw a 172 in the paddock car park!

Inferno - halfway between Strood and Maidstone, so BlueBell Hill area? I'm up there and theres a RB182 down the road from me. Saw 2 172 Cups in Rochester in the space of a minute a few weeks ago. Whose 182 is always parked up at Quarry Wood in Maidstone in the Halfords car park?
