James what time did you take your 172 around the track?

Afternoon slot, was from about 2pm onwards, Didn't set the car up so made for a fun session

Good news is the wider track removed the terrible under-steer I was suffering with at Llandow, Trophy Turini's were et45 & i'm now on et38 with the 2118's, car feels really balanced & very predictable.

THE END

Well the last large item of the car was sold last week, as you can see she was dragged up the truck with no wheels, what a nasty site!

Final recap :

Date of sale -

In her prime -

R.I.P

But its not all doom & gloom as the replacement is not looking too bad now with a few cosmetic changes now, lots more still to come ( shall hopefully have a build thread up in a few weeks once some worthy up-dates are rolling on! -

Hopefully the thread has been an interesting read for some but sadly this is the last up-date!


Thanks,
James

Sad the 172 ended up like that as it was a great car

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Megane though

Did you get my PM and email I sent during the week?

Are some megane upgrades on the cards for JMS?

Nice replacement James, loads left on that shell you sent off, I presume it was bought not scrapped?

I like the idea of the duct for the RS2, interesting. Did you notice any/much difference using it and the boxed off section in the bay?

Meg looks well; I'll look forward to seeing what JMS come up with for it!

Of course, That's the reason behind moving into the Megane, Shall see what we come up with over the coming months

Cheers mate! Yea the shell was bought, The money I got for it I was very happy with even more so that it was all collected the following day!

We never carried out any in depth intake temp testing on the heat shield, the main reason behind it was due to the race cell being placed under the seat which left the airfilter open to hot under bonnet temps, final shot was to place a naca duct on the bonnet, there were still a few things I would of liked to play with before it was pulled for parts but the Meggy had been on the cards for some time so when the right one came up it was game over for the Clio :dead:
