saw this car today, she works at the County Transport Highways Lab near me I suspect

cheers folks :) not bad for daily hacks!

surely they just lock up the wheels all the time, deft touch on the pedal required :)

you want offset (ET) of between 43 and 36 odd ideally to be issue free PCD is stud pattern which is 4x100 for all 4 stud Renault hubs centre bore is 60.1mm, so look for same or larger (can use spigots to bring bore down easily, but have to machine smaller bore wheels up to fit, PITA)

Wheels scrubbed up lovely chap, glad I wasn't on the list of let downs :)

interesting I may have a slightly bigger set of hurdles is all as my '172' track car is actually the b*****d child of a phase 1 172 shoehorned into a mk1 shell. so fitment could be a bit of a swine.

I can see that POV, however ime its been based in fear over experience. I've never used anything but used wheels and provided you check them over first, ring them for cracks and then fit tyres and balance there is no reason to fear

is everyone failing to read this thread? he likes clios, he wants to enjoy the building process so he should go and buy an mx5?

snap, how did I miss this! looks great whats the pms shifter kit like? I hear they are a ball ache to setup? worth it? work nicely, feel good? (happy happy fun fun time, 5 dolla)

the silver are more as they all come out the production line black and then have to be painted silver over the top of the black coating iirc personally I wouldn't buy new, absolutely no point at all, just trawl the classified for some second hand pro race ( I sold a set of pro race 1's for 180...

I think the point the OP is making though is he will enjoy the challenge and process of actually building the thing too. I'm of a similar mind set, its not all about the actual end result of being on track. lots of fun is in the speccing, modifying, changing, building, revising, improving and...

Myself and Mark were up at Cratcliffe Tor for some bouldering yesterday. Pulled up nose to nose and thought may as well take a couple of quick snaps on the camera phone RB - Sportlines, Cup Turinis with T1R's, 15mm front, 10mm rear spacers wth TPi bolts and RS192 P1 - Sportlines, Willy...

you live in Nottingham, you do live that life ;)

all about the Racing Blue imo.....totally non bias opinion of course...........ahem

I couldn't give a crap what people think, feck them all imo :)

why the hell would I want to do that? Sunday's a day of rest, a mans home is his castle and sundays I adhere to that like glue theres also the usual sticking point of the large volumes of beer I tend to drink on sunday afternoons ;) lol!

I can never make that as it starts at something silly like 7pm, I'm settled into Sunday night in an roast dinner by that time

naff off back to vegas and bankrupt yourself, it was lovely and quiet round here recently ;)

flattery will get you nowhere Dave, you've tried it once and I told you not to try it again :rasp:

feck knows mate, I wasn't looking, they all look the same to me ;) if it wasn't a E55 AMG with S/C conversion, I'm literally not interested :rasp:

oh god you've bought another German barge?

best way to avoid this issue is just start spending, then make this thread afterwards with a shocked and dismayed look on your face about how much....and heres the no going back crux.......MORE you've still got to spend now you're half way done that's how I roll hence the missus tries to...

do it :) pick a sunday daytime when I can get out from under the car and get some fresh air :)

have you ticked all the above to begin with, in particular tyres and tracking? oh and simple answer, sell the shed and buy another mk1 ;)

is that why you sold up and went to sulk in your mobile, wood panelled library?

shed ;)

I'd be up for it :)

i'll just run it down and you can fish away to your hearts content chap ;)

i'll crack out the spanners and have a nosey chap cheers, I would like it to let go more predictably as I find at the mo it just lets me push till it snaps and understeers

meh, nothing as technical as that chap, i'm a pikie I just chuck stuff on and moan when it doesn't work ;), just boggo 182 cup setup with eibach sportlines and the whiteline.
