Few of my pals were out on the Tour and saw your result!!! Cracking finish you were flying!! Your up there with the big boys! What was your flat shift issue? I still cant get mine to work smoothly in every gear sometimes it works ok then sometimes it wont release the gear ive changed the shims...
Do Tell??????? Cant see how you can cheat unless you have a switch in your car and swap maps in park ferme after a race! TDI will be at random events and MSV can choose to re power run cars on the day and the top 3 cars are weighed after every race ive done!
Absoulty no rust! Thats why i bought it! Two reasons they dont rust in NL they dont salt the roads and this one has been zibarted (wayolyed) from the factory!
Straight away i put minilites on it then a 5 speed then drone to Monaco in it and drove the GP circuit! Now its got a 1700 xflow with...
Those photos were from the Ring trip i went out on with a broken shoulder and my mate was using the Clio and i went to Holland on the Saturday to pick up a Mk2 Escort i had bought! Luckily it was LHD and auto! Did a lap in it hahaha

Yeah had the White and Orange one there aswel! My friend hired that car for the day for his nephew for his 21st bday so i was instructing in that with him then i let some of the boys who help out on the race meetings have a drive of it too!! I was out in the Cup Racer and my mate who i share the...
Here is the new livery on the Cup Racer testing at Brands on Monday! Still cant get the flat shift to work in every gear spot on! Sometimes its happy doing and sometimes it wont release early enough! Ive tried different shimms in the flat shift sesnor! Then my mate was driving and the release...
Just make them yourself take a headlight apart and just use the clear bit and make some little ally brakets up! Paint them what ever colour on the inside you want! The near side one has the cut out for The air feed!
What are the front hubs on a V6 Clio? Are they bespoke items and only used on the V6??
Has anyone used the AP calipers for a V6 on a Clio 172/182
Sensible answers only please!
(i know the V6 is RWD etc but you can use Sierra Cosworth 4WD hubs on a 2WD if you machine the end of a drive shaft...
Im good mates with Dave Earthy do loads of Rallying with him, was out in Jersey with him i was navigating in a 1400 nova where we finished just behind him!
That Mk1 Escort rolled on the first proper stage out there and f**ked it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA3KrfPiqbM
Me naving in the...
All that happened was the to**ers that jump on the band wagon from behind thier computer screen pipe up and put the 3ps worth in stopped posting because i didnt rise to the bait
I did say it was a rumour and turned out my mate had got it wrong in what he told me, so all the adults needed to say...
The Car we are taking to the Ring is the ex Palmer Clio 200
That already has the Alcon front brakes which are excellent!! Thanks for the advice it was the guy from R Sport that told us about the Nurburgring set up so im sure he can just supply what is needed!
Cheers
That phantomgrip looks interesting but only do one for a R5 Turbos but from memory the Quaife LSD also fits a R5 Turbs!!
But reading the Ktec bit
This differential requires press fitting and welding to the standard Crown Wheel or can be used with shortened crown wheel and pinion kit available...
So by the sounds of it they are not allowed to use a LSD in the Saxos currently but they are all using Grippers so thats what they will all be doing to the Clios in the coming years!
Right just had my friend text me with the info he was given and this will clear it all up!
" Just spoke to dad, I got it wrong, its a mechanism that goes in the crown wheeland they WELD it in place. You've probably heard about it already. its a company called Gripper Diff, and for the saxo it...
Yeah thats why it pases the jacking one wheel up in the air test or putting it on a roller isnt it?
Thats the test they used to do on Caterhams one rear wheel on a roller and if it had a ATB just one wheel would spin but if it had plate type it would push the car off the rollers as it wants to...
Yes thats why i put that statement in, what ever company told my mate at the Autosport Show it can be done says if inspected and you spin the wheels it still turns like a LSD but when driving it gives the "affect of a LSD"
If in the Regs it states you cannot use a LSD but does not say you...
Thanks for all the Replys hahahahahaha im going to chase my source!
I was told by a mate who was at the Autosport Show and someone had told him that there was a way of doing it, he is looking to build a 182 for the new 750 stock hatch series as i dont think the regs allow a LSD or ATB to be...
Heard a rumor that its possible to weld a Clio Diff so it acts like a LSD but when you jack the car up you can still turn one wheel so it appears that it does not have a LSD fitted!
Has anyone tried this or know if it can be done or cant be done!
Would save me shelling out for a LSD
thanks
Also with the my Clio 172 Rally car ive got the old matched inlets off the Yellow 172 to go on it, is it possible to break into the orignal Clio ECU for a re map or does it need a piggy back system on it? We want to try and keep costs down and want to keep it as reliable as possible it ust...
The Clio 200 is set up nicely now for Brands, Snet etc ive been told they run a longer softer damper insert for the Ring by the Renault Sport bloke. Then on spekaing to James May who was out in a Clio at the Britcar 24hr (who brake a cam belt) that they did a VLN race and didnt change anything...
We didnt get a penalty i think they apply them as success penaltys in the drivers briefing it was only certain cars that had to pit for longer, no mention of the sequential box.
We are going to do the VLN 4 Hr at the Nurburgring on the 22nd of June just booked the cottages! then the Barcelona...
Meridian Motorsport will have all the cars at Oulton Park on the 6th of Feb for the Trackday and Team Trophy press days! If i can get out of work ill be up there in the Yellow one hopefully that will be stickered up like the old Lagua BTCC livery.
The rally car will be there and we are looking...
