    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    First hillclimb went really well. Really enjoyed it! Only one hairy moment where I went over a bump in the braking zone and no amount of brake or lock would get it round the corner :tearsofjoy: felt like it sped up and just went straight! Just managed to get it stopped before a steep bank. Saw...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Got about 8kg-10kg's out of the car and put the new door cards on and tidied up the fuel tank access hole. Ready for its first hillclimb on Saturday.

    225/45 instead of 215/45 - Softer Ride?

    I hadn’t run 215 before the 225’s. I bought the car and started to build it for sprints on a budget. 225’s where cheaper, I thought wider would be better at the time and 225 on 7.5j is “fine”, so I went with them. Just feel after going that direction 215’s would feel pointier. But as you say not...

    225/45 instead of 215/45 - Softer Ride?

    I'm glad its not just me. I'd like to try 225 8j front and 215 7.5j rear

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Ever since I put all the cup racer bits on the car I thought I was missing out having the thinnest front ARB that came on a Clio (20mm). I messaged many breakers but none were willing to measure ARB's for me or let me go and measure as other cars like scenics etc came with 21mm and 22mm and they...

    225/45 instead of 215/45 - Softer Ride?

    I went with the 225's on my track car as they were cheaper and I thought wider would be better. But I think I regret it as I always think now after having the 225's that the 215's would be "pointier". I feel like the 225's bulge slightly on a 7.5J wheel and roll a bit more.

    I agree with you there, I like the design of yours better. I’m pretty sure my drivers side ones are the same, but looking at the SW website, if the picture is accurate, it looks like they changed the design to 2 slots as well. Maybe not just as big a slots as my broken ones though

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Ahh! @Big Ben which side mounts do you have? You will see my outside broken supreme mount has been turned around Pure replied and they say the max width is slightly smaller than what sparco say the sprint L is. He said I could use 2 tunnel side mounts. But would have to buy 2 sets as it would...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Do you have both mounts angled so that the floor bolts are under the seat instead of both mounts pointing to one side? Does that make sense? For example i have the small seat on the drivers side and the outside has the floor bolts outside the seat and the inside has the floor bolts under the...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Yea thats the plan! Just need to make sure I get some that work with a sparco sprint xl seat that I have in the passenger side. The sw motorsport ones i have on the drivers side might not work for that seat

    Haha wasn’t much to it but here it is: My initial one: His reply: My reply: I replied with some more pictures. I got no reply over a week or so, I then sent: I still got no reply for a few days so I sent this: He then finally replied:

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    After sending a few more emails to supreme, they finally reply and just say they are going to do nothing. I’ll not be using them again. I have seen bad reviews from them on the facebook group but you never know the whole story sometimes. But it seems to be true. Pretty poor service.

    I’m pretty sure they are 4mm thick but don’t quote me. I can measure for you the next time I’m at my parents house where it is currently stored

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I do regularly do a spanner check and the seat bolts are something I check as scruiteneers always grab the seat (driver and passenger) and shake it to see if its tight. I’d be surprised if it came loose because of this. Because he stopped selling aluminium and changed to steel suggests to me...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I entered the Clio in for my first hillclimb. It is more of a social hillclimb rather than a competitive one, I think they want it to be the Northern Ireland "goodwood". I was doing a spanner check and I noticed the the passenger seat had some movement. I removed some of the bolts and was...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Got the cap off and moved the level and the dash updated accordingly and seems to show the correct amount of fuel is in the tank. Everything seems fine. Will just have to keep an eye on this.

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Carrying on from my previous issue of dodgy fuel gauge and the car stopping. I tested the fuel gauge with a variable resistor and it seems to work as expected on the dash, so that seems to work. Next thing to check is the level in the tank, I cut the hole under where the back seats where...

    Track Car Door Cards

    Are these required if using flat door cards? How are they secured to the door card?
