Ive got a load of stuff kicking about which made it cheaper, found someone on ebay selling the spray i use for £2.45 a tin where as i normally pay £7 so ordered a load lol

Your not the guy with the 182 who's car wouldnt start at the car wash are you by any chance?

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Dan, i saw you wanted some rear spacers, there is a thread on here for rear hub spacers for circa £30 for 10mm, not wheels spacers so less stress on wheel bearing etc, plus it's fairly cheap. Thought you may be interested.

Ive seen them, im just unsure if 10mm would be too much and would rub. As my 5mm on the ph1 never rubbed but the 15mms rubbed alot! I could always borrow steves rear 5mm spacers and put them both on one side and see if it rubs lol

So was thinking of just going for 5mm to play it safe. What have you used on the rear of your various cars on f1s?

Lol, no that wasn't me. You'd never catch me near a swirl wash!

I've always run 15mm, and never scrubbed, et37 wheels on my 182 would of as they are et43 as standard so that's like +20mm from standard, i'm going for 10mm with the camber spacers then selling my H&R 15mm wheel spacers. If that makes sense.

Ah right just saw black 182 on your profile. Was the awesome £6 hand car wash near the station, i dont do detailing you see!

I might go for some 10mm ones with the extra 1' camber, that will tuck the top of the wheel in and not rub then hopefully. I obviously just run my clios to low and rub, my ph1 arhces were well wavey on the inner edge from getting smacked by the wheels

Mine constantly rubbed with 10 & 15mm's on the rear running Cup Turinis and 195's :/

Car looks good btw!

Thank you mate Im undecided on what to do spacer wise atm, looking into the 10mm with the camber as i think that should be ok

I've got some 10mm hub spacers on there way. Measured up today and will fit fine

Maybe getting -1 added too

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Just looking into how the rear camber will make the car feel as i never messed with it on the rear before, though i dont want to eat through tyres quickly

Ive just been outside in the dark with my phone light and a tape, pretty sure it will fit! Im just wondering if i could get my Dad to make me some spacers the same, i think i will ask him

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Coming along nicely mate. The F1's look so much better then the standard 5spokes. Be looking like a newer Williams with the gold wheels.lol

You'll be running -2.5ish which is what I've always ran on my front.

If you start getting a bald patch just get your tyres switched sides

Thats kinda the idea, but in bronze

See my edit above Danny, yeh sounds a decent idea to me. Whats standard camber on the front? the ph1 ran 1.5 or 2.5 i dont remember, this one has 2.5 at the front currently.

 

[DannyR]

dmallett's 421'd monaco

Standard is -1.5 all around.

My fronts are now at about -2.5 and my old one ran about -4 one side and -2.5/3 the other. Was messed up and never bothered to sort it as felt fine!

 

[Greeny.]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

My front camber isn't right, I dont enjoy the steering wheel being off centre, annoys the f**k outta me! Gunna get it set up in Feb I think, was gunna go for -2.0 at the front as I didnt think -1.5 was standard! Might go -2.5 then.

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

The ph1 ran 2.5 front then as does this one. Lol at -4, gota love our pikey ways!

Sounds more like a tracking issue due to camber. Best thing to do is get camber set up then you can take it anywhere for tracking, what me and Quinton did today

Lol, the thing is it works, and if it works don't fix it!

At least we now have cars ready for the Ring. I hope your coming this year Dan G

no it's not it's 0.5

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

no it's not it's 0.5

In which case my ph1 had 1.5, presume this car still has 2.5?

 

[DannyR]

dmallett's 421'd monaco

Was reading Autodata printout today and was 1 minute 30 clicks all around.

The rears are definitely -1-1.5 though

 

[Dan519]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

think it's about 2. Can't remember, it's been like that for ages

It works what ever it is, so ill leave it be.



Just bought some of the 10mm rear hub spacers also, so will get them on in the new year. Now just to find some 25mm fronts

Ill have some 15mm H&R's if your willing to compromise 10mm, when I get my rear hub spacers.

Thanks for the offer mate but i want 25mm really, as i love the proper wide look of the front wheels on clios

just looked. it's 0.5 +/- 0.5 degrees on autodata. oh and it's in degrees and minutes

I've got the sheet in the car, but was definitely 1.30. I knew it was something like that lol!

Are they fronts Lewis? I'll take them if they are the ones that bolt to the hub.

 

[LewisTaylor]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

They are either front or back lol, They are not, but they are hubcentric and they sit dead tight on the hubcentric ring, not the slightest bit loose, so don't fall off if that's what your thinking. I run a stud and nut conversion too which makes them perfect. If your interested PM me rather than spam up Dan's thread

 

[Dan519]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Dan, I meant to ask what you thought of the brakes after using them for a while?

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

When cold they have nothing to them, once you start working them they get abit better. Ill run them for abit and hope they improve. Much prefer my ds2500s tbh.

How much are these pads new out of inerest?

 

[Dan519]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

yeah confirms what I thought of them. That's why I stopped selling them. Bit of a shame. Mintex 1155 next time for me....

The Bembo sport pads were £111

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Not worth that money! I had some mintex pads on the ph1 when i first had it which were pretty good. But the ds2500s still win in my eyes. Though ill just use what evers at a good price when i want to stop quicker ha.

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Oh and you would probably cry if you could see the state of your old car right now, pure filth.

 

[Dan519]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

lol, I think i washed it maybe 5 times while I had it, one of which was a few hours before you came to get it. function over form!! I opted for brand new drivetrain components instead of worrying about paint correction

 

[dmallett]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Thats ok then!

 

[Djw John]

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Good to know about those pads, I don't really like the feel of the DS2500 but they do the job well enough for me to stick with them just now if the alternatives are worse!
