Hi all, briefly considered selling the clio as I've been looking at purchasing an Exige track toy sometime soon. However i've since decided I cant part with it for what i'd get back so its staying put. Anyway one thing that has become obvious during the past couple of events ive competed in (in...

Subscribed, keep the updates coming... always interested in watching others willing/crazy enough to develop their Clio to new levels, oh & i'd go anthracite or black with the cage.

Compete in an awful lot of motorsport, also national level scrutineer. Modify/restore performance cars. Show/breed Staffords...http://bluberrystaf.weebly.com Collect diecast rally/race cars.

Fitted the KTR intake to my rally/race car as a bit of a trial expecting nothing but noise & perhaps a little more top-end power. Amazingly it does work, it improved response & bottom end torque. My car is re-mapped etc which may be the reason it worked on mine ?.

Yes i'd agree that the oem intake is more than capable of doing the job. I wouldn't recommend replacing it on a road car but for an all out competition car the ktec one has proven worthwhile, I also have a remap which no doubt helps. I wasn't using adjustable top mounts at all previously, I...

Semis are Hankook Ventus TD Z221... http://hankooktyre.com.au/Product/MotorsportTyreSemiSlick.aspx?pageNum=1&subNum=5&ChildNum=3#Z221 Intake is the Ktec one...it has improved bottom end torque surprisingly.

A little feedback in usable numbers that some may find of interest (I keep detailed info of all my racing)... Competed in a hillclimb today that I had the class record in at 85.76 seconds set last November. Today I reset that record to 80.03 in very similar conditions. Where did the 5 seconds...

New improved top mounts on their way... [/URL][/IMG]

I get a little chattering etc on start-up when cold but nothing noticeable once warm. You'd be a brave man to take on installation yourself, its a pig of a job. Better to pay a specialist who has experience in fitting them imo. Allow about $3k-$4k all in to do the job properly. However once you...

No whining or noise (my car is already noisy though:d), just hooks up well & fires out of corners. Nice bit of kit. Keep in mind its just a Torsen style diff & not a plate diff (which can be very noisy). Ive had KAAZ diffs fitted to my cars before & they sound like the driveshafts are about to...

Best of luck with this one. Good to see someone going beyond the usual Meg engine swap & doing something unique.

Hi mate, wouldn't bother with flywheel, big improvement is in fitting the diff. Event was a local combined motorkhana/hillclimb, nothing important, finished 1st outright with FTD (fastest time of day) which is reassuring (more cheap gold plastic for the missus to dust) :D.

Hi Flacsi, Uprated clutch just gives slightly stronger clamping pressure, I cant notice any difference under foot. Lighter flywheel lightens rotating mass thereby improving throttle response in theory. In practice its not much different. I simply replaced the clutch assy & diff seals &...

Along with the usual track events, I compete in tarmac rallies which are held over several days on closed public roads thus the Quaife (Torsen type diff) is ideal for my needs. If I were just doing circuit events solely, a Gripper (plate type diff) would have been an option. But after the...

First day of competition with the Quaife in place. Wow. Installation was an absolute pain for the poor buggers I got to do it, having to sacrifice a shaft due to it being seized in the oem diff. Despite the fitting issues, for anyone tracking one of these cars on a regular basis, fit an LSD &...

Clutch plate has more springs, pressure plate higher clamping pressure. The oem clutch, gearbox, synchros, diff etc are still operating perfectly, only upgraded due to the transmission being out to fit the diff.

To give you an idea of how highly regarded Targa Tasmania is, Factory teams from Porsche & Mercedes have travelled here from Germany in past years bringing invaluable classics from their museums that never usually see the light of day to compete. Many other manufacturers have factory backed...

This years ultimate tarmac rally in the world has been run & won, finishing today after 6 days of competition over some of the best closed roads that exist anywhere. Unfortunately we missed this years event (1st one we've missed in 5 years) but will be doing a couple of the other championship...

ktec, mainly for convenience as I got the clutch & diff etc from them.
