    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    Yesterday left at 5AM to France, 3,5hours later I was at Circuit des Ecuyers. A very small technical track, 2nd time i've been there. trackday started at 10.15 to 12 and 2pm to 6pm. Here's some of my laps... In short: brakes: good, lots of bite, plenty of endurance. Handling: Very good...

    2012 clio 3RS RB7 #166

    Mine's pretty decent at the rear as it sits. Fitting coilovers won't change the rear geometrie, it's a solid axle. The front is a different story offcourse. AST would be my pick, I have expensive taste I know. I've got 2 stance cars on KW's and would always pick bilstein over those (had those on...

    Peter, what are the alignment specs on your car? Mine's behaviour changed drasticly for the better when I added caster and camber, should help with tyre wear aswell.

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    Yes, but if you have play in the balljoints you will never get it aligned right. As was the case with my car. Had the car aligned 4 times the last half a year...Now i'm finally getting it dialed in, track test next week. I wouldn't know of any shop aligning a car without having the wheel...

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    We've done the alignment this week after replacing all the balljoints in the hubs...tracking was off, set it now with some toe-out and more negative camber (-1,3°). Steering wheel is centered and it doesn't pull to the right anymore. Much more stability.

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    replaced the trunkdampers, i've hit my head against it a few times because it wouldn't fully open on it's own...So time to replace. Also replaced the bonnet insulation, fitted it with different clips because the ones Renault provides are absolute garbage.

    Everybody has to make a profit, small production items will always have large profit margins.

    Rigid collar mod as seen on Masa's thread

    I don't care about money...:seanprincess: But seriously, an upgraded without downsides is worth a lot to me. For instance, lot's of people think the akrapovic exhaust is to expensive, and I agree it is expensive BUT you get the quality you pay for and it's far superior to the OE renault or...

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    yes, not the most complex thing i've ever done on cars. It has it's own challenges though. I'll need to have custom adaptors made on a lay for my home made press. Have to modify a tool for the (very stuck) wishbone balljoints. For a single job though it's hard enough, you need some...

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    doing some work to the front end at the moment, complete refresh of the front hubs, new balljoints, new calipers, new wheelbearings, new anti-rotation links, and some other bits and bobs. Removed all the rust, and grime from everything to be reused, painted with zinc and varnished everything.

    what tool do I need for this?

    Hi guys, i'm rebuilding the uprights of my clio rs 200. I'm replacing all joints and the wheelbearings. This is the baljoint that goes into the suspension A arm, but what tool do I need to replace these?
