    Driveshafts lifespan?

    I have a meglio, with a 225 box. I had the CV joint started to tick on lock, so used the original shaft, with a new CV joint. Car is used for shopping, and around 6 track days a year, so my driveshaft, has lasted around 8 years, 75000 miles. Changing only one, will be fine.

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    It would seem, its almost normal to use the 225 in a Clio,less so with the 250 in a Clio.There is definitely more hassle with the 250, cooling, a 225,or 250 throttle body?. I could do a page with pluses/ minuses, but which ever way, a very worthwhile conversion.

    Cadwell 8th April, car going really well, noticed some slack in gear change, turns out cable problem, also time for rear disks /pads.When on track, car is worth every penny spent, a real pleasure to drive. Its a wonder there are not more 250 engine megs around.

    R26R front discs on a stock 197?

    I had an R26R, and I would fit plain Brembo disks, but its personal choice.I find on track, drilled,or slotted disks, may pick up pad residue, and now since running plain disks, I don't get pad pick, so no shuddering, and disks seem less prone to warping. Other people might find differently of...

It runs 320/340, more power than an old man like me can deploy, but good fun.I start my track days at Cadwell in April.My family think I should grow up, and drive a Volvo, smoke a pipe, and wear a hat.I might turn up one...
