People have it in their heads that modifications equal improvement. I was the same when I was young... Changing things for changing sake and 'making it better/ my own/ unique' when all I did was waste time and money on the car. Thankfully I grew out of that before I got the 197 or else I'd...

Car: R27 Age: 25 Insurance Price: £330ish Level of Cover: Fully comp, Mrs added on (she put it up :(), don't know how many ncb I have Location: Ellesmere Port/Chester I feel the location plays a massive part. My insurance went up £200 when I moved from the north east to Wigan, then dropped...

I should've noted that it was nothing special. It was to renew the old tool designs from hard copies to a CAD model/drawing, modify some existing designs/tools and improve on existing tools to stop the turbine rings (forgot the name of the parts lol) getting damaged when loading and unloading...

I'm a mechanical engineer/machinist working for a company who supply tooling/flying parts to the likes of airbus. I previously did design work for rolls Royce which was interesting. I'd like to get back into that at some point. I can drive fork lift trucks and operate overhead cranes, do some...

And they're definitely the same? Wheels off, check the centre of the hub face from a common datum, the middle of the rear beam etc, or even the centre of the hub face to a damper or point on the chassis to find what's out

If the body shop makes up a few test cards with different layers of the pearl coat to see how many they need to match your car, it shouldn't be a problem. I had my rear quarter and rear bumper done and was a bit nervous that it'd be a shit job. But the body shop did a cracking job to be fair to...

I'd be measuring the spacers first

Bolt in ones seem to work fine too. I'm not sure if there'll be any loss of rigidity (or any noticeable loss) versus welding one in

Don't rarbs induce oversteer? What tyre pressures did you have? And how much tread is on the rears? I have to properly provoke mine to oversteer on ns2rs at ~30psi hot

A friend has just bought a 135i as a track slag for the lols. I had a go the other day and it's hilariously torquey. Just picks up in any gear and takes off. 135i/m135i 335i Golf R32/R E46 m3 smt Struggling to think of anything else well built, fast and Dsg.

Don't mount them to the strut brace or the floor. There was a post on face ache sometime this year of a lad with a mk1 focus RS who snapped his spine, crashing with harnesses bolted to the floor. That cage bar should be fine. The point of harnesses is to hold you into the seat and not have much...

I think advertising them on a Clio website restricts the audience a bit... Those who have clios won't want to buy clios... That makes sense in my head lol. Joe public will look on auto trader, eBay, scumtree and piston heads at a push for a 'Clio sport' and probably wouldn't think to join a...

Why bother putting renaultsport and 'RS' on the rear, together? It's a renaultsport renaultsport? I hope those three vertical lines in the headlights are drls

Decats won't give a noise issue on tracks. Oulton is 95db static iirc and a cup race car thing with a decat had no issue. its the mots which will be a problem. some people have made brackets to mount the cc buttons to on aftermarket wheels, although I doubt this would work for a removable...

Im in the same boat as you, I just got into track days last year at Css. I'm now up to day number 6 in September lol. I found the standard brake pads ****, so after speaking to George at rtr parts i settled on ds2500 front pads, high carbon plain discs, standard rear everything and ate...

Whahow did the trip computer compare to your findings?

Where are you from Rockshow? also, I'm sure you need a standalone ECU to map the throttle as there isn't a parameter for it in the standard one? id like to be corrected on that mind.

Hi and welcome. yeah the throttle response on these is a bit ****, you need to properly **** the pedal to get the revs to match. a lot of people like to fit sprint boosters, but as far as I know, they just trick the car into thinking it has 50%,75%,100% throttle when you apply say 25%... So I...

www.roadtrackraceparts.com plain high carbon discs, ferodo ds2500 front pads, oem rears and supergold fluid is a brilliant set up on 197s. I didn't manage to murder the ferodos as I did with the oem brembo pads on a track day.

Was it you who did that last year? I swear I heard it was a r5 and not a 200
