yep 100% mate, surprised also.
i think we have been running the front too low tbh so knocked it up alittle and it seems to be much better on road. Will see how it goes at Cadwell

Opened the bonnet on the car today and it stinks of gearbox oil. Was hoping that driving home in he rain the other night would of washed it all away but obviously i still need to get the jet wash out.
I was going to give it a blast but struggled to find the thing in the shed........
So much crap in there i decided to give it a tidy up. 3 hours later i was sweating like a rapist after moving most of the junk to the attic. At least I can find stuff now. Didnt tidy up the tools, will do that some other time.

Think they are just under a year old
Just put the springs on for now, it is under damped tho.And to think AST's are up at the more expensive end of coilovers
Burp have you have the units revalved etc or just plonked the springs on and away you went?
Ive aways driven it on the road on the soft settings (and it was quite pants) on the way home from Bedford we left it set as we'd used it on track (almost full stiff) and it was such a nice comfy ride, Lol.
The set i have are from an early batch before the firmer damping had been tested. I may have them done at some stage.
RS RIP
what Toe are you running ? I got mine a bit In , but lowered the back a little and now it seems to steer in more difficult. A higher back end was better for steer-in.
I'm thinking i must go maybe neutral on Toe ? (no trackdays yet)
(I always found the little Toe-in to give a nice straight - stability. Toe out was terrible on fast straight stability)

Oh yea, forgot to mention we got shown the 'Noise!' board at Bedford.
Bit worrying as the car always give a 95db reading (was a little lower this time)
It was probably induction noise, Dan said he could hear it from the pit lane when we were on the back straight. Pmsl.
We were in a big queue of cars at the time and Tony was driving so he must be noisy in the way he drives

Day off today and ive been looking forward to it all week. Had a knocking noise appear at Bedford and struggled to track it down while we were there. Today I had a chance to get a good look over the car and find the problem, id been giving it lots of thought all week and had been worried it was something drastic or expensive.
Went along to my mates place and while I was there used the opportunity to get some tyres swapped over.
Im going to Kemble airfield tomorrow for a track/activity day. Didnt fancy carting all my wheels and tools with me so swapped to my old set of Yoka Prada's. I can now drive there and back on legal tyres. Dont want to ruin my T1R's I use for road use.
Ive not cleaned the wheels at al and they have done 4 track days/sessions so gave them a much needed wash. They were brown with brake dust.
The R888's have done very well, considering they were on the wear markers when I got them. Bit of swapping around and they should do another track day or 2. Starting to show signs of the camber not being quite right. Tony had a temperature test thing las time but the limited track time due the the oil leak ment we didnt get chance to do it propely.
So to find the knock. Needed to get it on a ramp but the only one free at my mates place was a 4 poster. There is no way the car would go on there at its current ride height (As Bomber will agree, we had some fun and games getting his on there) So the front bumper came off to help.
I spanner checked as much as I could see and apart from the knock in the steering rack (That has always been there) I couldnt really find anything.
Then I drove it off the ramp again and descovered that if you pulled away sharply the knock occured. This made it much easier to find and traced it to the gearbox mount bolts (under where the battery used to sit)
Strange as id never touched them when doing the clucth last winter. The car did have some new mounts fitted before I bought it so it must of shaken loose during the last 7k miles of abuse. Still, Loctite and new nyloc nuts on there now, should do the trick.
Swapped the wheels over ready for tomorrow but before I did I had to refit some of the studs that were loose.
I gave the underside a good rinse off with the pressure washer, it had been dripping oil all week on my drive.
It looks good on the track wheels with road tyres, didnt get any pics but will post some tomorrow from Kemble.
I also have a surprise for all those people who have experianced the torture that is the passenger seat.

I just let powerstation set it how they doBig Burp , i read some more of your thread (you might have guessed) and know which Toe-in on the front you are running now. Close to neutral as Renault themselves advise
