    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Yea its a beam splitter for timing There are regulations about having it and about its size. Mine is a bit big lol But the final regs for a specific event will often remind you to have it and then say something like “Don’t come crying to us if you don’t have it and you don’t get timed” I think...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    My dad did his first sprint a while back in the Clio and loved it so he has the bug now as well. Got the car all cleaned up ready for Craigantlet hillclimb tomorrow!

    Irish 197

    Hi from NI, check the heat shield on the starter, it caused me nothing but issues shorting out. I run without it now

    Yea couldn't bare the lettering cam uses :tearsofjoy: He will do two whites as well if you prefer. I’m so used to seeing southern irish cars driving around and I think they look weird with white rear plates :tearsofjoy:

    Always liked the RenaultSport show plates that you can get from Renault. But front and back are white, I think cars look funny with white plates on the back. Got these made!

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I noticed the quick release made it easier to get in and out with the cage. With there being one seat now there was no where to put the wheel when you take it off. Designed and printed a hook for it! (There is a second seat in the picture, but its just sitting there for somewhere to store it to...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I bought a small fuse box that has 6 fuses. Its cool cause each fuse has a LED. If the fuse breaks the LED comes on. I took power to it from an existing wire that gets power when the ignition is on. Then ran the heater/switch with one of the fuses from that. The existing heater wiring is...

The duct I made to go under the dash to go from round to rectangle seems to work well too. Dash is back in now and the drivers seat...

    Spring Size for Gaz Golds

    Tried that email to see what they say. I don’t like the spring rates they specified and want rates more similar to cup racers

    Emailed! Will update here. I see that email comes from gazshocks.com, I tried contacting the email from gazcoilovers.com before but they just sent me a link to the springs to order and said they would send the right ones. But they are about £100 more for 4 springs than balance motorsport or...
