Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project"
Work on the Clio has started up again.
Rain was set so I put up the Gazebo and got the car ready
First thing was to finish off with the brake cooling. So I started by cutting some small pieces of Nimbus heat shield down and attached them to one of the wishbone support brackets using Jubilee clips. This looks spot on there is no fouling with the wheels or brake lines.
Next was to fit the Spax RSX coilovers, these was pretty much a straight fit and no real dramas. I added the KTEC top mounts, front camber bolts and rear camber shims at the same time. I also added 16mm spacers all round. Took me the best part of a day.
The top struts need fixing to the body by drilling three holes.
Coilovers on and a quick trip to AMD to get a emergency 4WLA done.
The coilovers I have set to 8 clicks from the softer setting (so midrange) and seem pretty good to me. I have already tested them on track and im more than happy with the set up.
At Brands a few nights ago, playing with another Cup. Must say I am pretty impressed with how she handled. I am uploading some footage, so will post up shortly.
