I like a good project thread.

You could try checking that all of the ABS sensors are plugged in properly?

Good work. What has happened to your front badge?

@EthanMenace bled the brakes today to make sure they were nice and sharp for Snetterton on Thursday. The trusty Sealey pressure bleeder is still working well. Whilst doing the rear brakes Ethan noticed that the rear shock had made contact, or had been making, with one of the strengthening...

We are out in the Clio next Thursday at Snetterton to test the new set up. Hopefully the rear end is not too lively. It is good to hear your feedback - hopefully the change of spring rates will improve the car.

We are going to refurb and build up a set of hubs as a bit of a winter project. We have got a spare set of hubs from the car we acquired in November 2022. It is the kind of project that can be done in the shed over winter without having to leave the car on axle stands whilst the work is done...

The car is looking good in those photos. What did you think of Thruxton? I have only been there once but thought it was a bit meh?

I also keep a camera pointed at my Clio.

Come along and see Martin’s new engine explode.

@EthanMenace has been busy today. Both the front and rear suspension was removed today in order to change over the springs. The rears have gone from 62nm springs to 100nm springs. The front have been softened up from 105nm to 80nm Whilst the front dampers were off Ethan installed the...

After e-mailing Gaz and confirming they had a set of 80nm front springs and 100nm rear springs in stock @EthanMenace did the 20 minute journey from home and collected them today. They were £35 plus VAT per spring. So, whilst I am cruising around the NC500 I will let Ethan do the hard work...

Yes, it is the one from Tik Tok that was burning.

Back to Brands Hatch last week. Here are a few videos. @EthanMenace's best lap My best lap The best session

80nm Front and 100nm rear.

They have sent me an e-mail saying they are £34 plus VAT plus shipping each. When the order goes through I will let you know what they charge me.

The front feels too stiff now so going for spring rates which are softer than we have on the Gaz Golds it will hopefully make the front of the car work better with the EE brackets, bump steer pack and Cup Racer ARB etc., etc. It is the back end that could become more lively. If it is too lively...

Gaz have come back to me and have said they can supply the springs for £34 plus VAT each. They have also confirmed that the dampers would not need to be revalved. It looks like it is cheap enough to give it a go and see how it performs. If it is awful we can always revert to the original set up...

@LiamP What spring rates are you running on your ASTs?

I have e-mailed Gaz to see what they say about the cost of supplying the different spring rates.

Not really struggling but just wondering about minor improvements. I was just thinking about it as it would be relatively inexpensive to change.
