If/when I do lightweight panels (Will be at least next winter) I will just do the CF one's as for the full kit they aren't much more expensive than fibreglass and they are silly light!IIRC there isn't much he can do apart from the windows with regards to weight up top? Unless he's feeling flush and puts fibre glass panels all roundRoof is a no no though afaik.
Haha no this was when I was strictly on the tarmac
What's with the name change Sam it's tripping me out
Well thats what the mk2 cup racers did with their engine mounts but I can't make them work with the JC5 and can't spend that sort of money either
Cylinder positions aren't changing now lol! Just ordered some bits for them today
Lets just say Fred will approve!If I was a racing driver then I'm sure I would take it more seriously but its only a hobby so I will just make the clio as good as I can to drag my lardy arse aroundThat's a fair point. Most racing drivers won't weigh much more than 10stone. Cheapest way to lose net weight Ash
lolCoolant header tank has to stay above all pipes anyway and that is the only tank left as my PAS is now fully electric
I like it when people agree with me thanks
! As Chip says clearance is the issue
I am seeing someone about it tomorrow so will see what they come up withYes Jonny got to change the rad anyway so just going with an alloy jobbie but it's got more fluid capacity so will be heavier anyway
Wow very nice Stu! Did you make them? That does look identical to a clio subframe obviously share the same tat :rasp:rather than concetrating on the top, maybe investigate moving the wheel position at the bottom:
i`ve just got some adjustable wishbone for mine (106, not this clio tat haha) it retains std suspension pickups and still allows a bit of adjustment....
Not mine... If i was doing them id run another adjustable rod end on the front subframe pick up so you can play about with caster and camber a bit more than that design allows...

Them wishbones are pn a clio 172 rally car in France and are actually from the the clio maxi,
my wishbones from pure Motorsport are nearly finished. As soon as they arrive ill stick some pics up, good thing about the pure wishbones is both arms are adjustable like chip suggested

What do the regs say about adjusting the wheel base? Thought it wasn't allowed outside of manufacturers spec? Or is that just width?
182cup & 172 racecar
Nearly everybody runs spacers, so what the heck.
Bluebook says up to 25mm spacers are ok and IIRC I think the lesser of 2.5% or 5cm wheel base increase is permitted.
Actually just checked and that wheelbase restriction is for sprinting only no mention of it for circuit racing.
Yes I think double adjustable would be ideal as then you can alter camber, caster and track width
Ahh they look very expensive lol! That would be great Andrew if you canThem wishbones are pn a clio 172 rally car in France and are actually from the the clio maxi,

I'm speaking with Nick tomorrow anyway so was going to ask how they were getting on!As Mark initially said wheel base is 2.5% or 5cm which ever is the lesser, Track width is whatever you want if you were to physically adjust it but spacers are a max of 25mm with no stacking of spacers so can't use a 5mm and 10mm for example
When I checked yesterday I'm sure I read it for racing too Mark
When I looked I could only find it in the sprint section, I could still have missed it in one of the other sections.
Just sourced a nice tidy engine

Nice one, anything fancy?

Yes will be doing as long as the quaife sells ! Was chatting about it today and wasn't really sure how much difference it will make, the main reason for me is to alter the CW+P ratio
How bad is the maintenance? I haven't even checked it out just thought I will forget it and worry next winter lol

I spoke to Martin at reyland about these a few weeks ago, and he said that some people have a tendency to over tighten them, therefore they need maintaining more frequently, but if they are correctly setup, then it'll prolong the life more.
Obviously it goes a bit deeper than that but if you want to know more give him a bell.
Right that is interesting, I think gripper will just set it up the first time and then hopefully it should be okay and suited to what i'm doing but I will give Martin a call and see what they recommend as its always better to have a second opinion
Thanks Matt

No worries
Ooo just sold my quaife about 4 minutes ago lol! Will have a look at your thread now
Performance - Gripper over the quaife anyday. Yes will need rebuilding every season or 2 but worth it. Regards Leaking i had this on mine but after the latest rebuild it stopped and never happened since. Seal can be funny but a bit os sealant should work.
Good to hear as I still wasn't convinced there will be much in it
Yeah the box will need rebuilding too I guess when its starts to get more power through it so won't be too bad!

I like the noise of griper diffs
I like the noise of a straight cut gear gearbox, but cannot afford one.
I can't say I've noticed what they sound like!I like the noise of griper diffs
Silly money aren't they
! Looked into them the other day and was a definite no no!Straight cut 'box with dog gears and plated diffs. Yum!
Radical SR3
Did you keep the road legal elements for indicators etc? Got me thinking about the central switch box.
Also...cup spoiler is around 4kg but normal one is less than a kilo (i think someone asked that)

It was the plan about this time last year but it was then pretty much discounted as the car would of needed loads of little things to be road legal never mind undrivable on the road lol! I wouldn't want to be without indicators anyway
Yes Cup spoiler will be going when I fit the rear polycarb

Love that sound, had gripper front and rear diffs with a 6speed dog box in one of my old cosworths
excuse the video quality but the sound is worth it.

My other car has a straight cut gearbox! Sounds awesome! Even better at triple figures! Lol! Ear plugs are a must! Especially if you like the sound of your own voice or wearing your underpants on the outside.........

I have a 1275GT in my garage at home with straight cut drop gears. Now thats a proper car.
