Thank you for your offer. Need to check what is wrong with the box I have at first (Because If there is no hole in the casing, there is still hope I guess :laughing:). Then I will try germany, and if everything fails Its time to continue with economical suicide AKA gbox from england :D

With questionable gearbox Might be quite hardcore experience

It will. And not to mention hassle with customs.

Regarding loud banging noise. Lifted up the car, no visible damage to be seen and strange noise comes from the depths of a gearbox... so something has failed miserably. Oil is shimmering, but looks like there are no big particles. Funny thing is, car is drivable if you go easy, like nothing...

I dont think there was a preload before, links were original, non adjustable. Dunno what exactly made the difference, but I suppose it was the angle difference from horizontal plane. I have links set to 320mm now, originals are like 280? Dont remember. And tbh I am very sensitive to ANY changes.

I did not have "problems" either. Then original droplink failed, so I have changed them for adjustable and I like it more in conjunction with HR springs and cup dampers. I have bought brand new springs :)

Since my car is lowered on HR springs, original droplinks were too short and pulling the swaybar up even at ride height. With longer droplinks swaybar angle is similar to original when not lowered if it makes sense. Now front is working "more", so better mechanical grip

Long time no see :D So here are some updates. I have managed to mend and also to mangle some bits on clio :) Had some problems with misfiring - new MAP sorted it out. I have changed coils while being at it as well. I have also new injectors in a garage waiting to be used. Aaaan silverproject...

Seeing how more of you have problems with superpro droplinks, I have gone with the H&R ones. They are not that fancy looking, main rod is just galvanized steel, not anodized aliminium, but you have three different rod lengths to choose from alreadyin the package and its cheaper than superpro...

No, it´s not. "My" noise was like when you ride with the roof rack attached. Like wind whistling at it was RPM dependant. Can be heard from cca 5 to 7,5k.

Little update again. Tried to reload Fastchip STG1 map on Toyo manifold.Results were slightly better but car still runs really sluggish and weird. Also there still were knocking sound and manifold developed some whistling sount in higher rpm. Maybe some leak, but it was pressure tested after...

The first one looks like from Forza or some other Simracing game :D

It does not look like nord-lock washers to me? Or have you just used half of the washer? Or is it just my eyes?

I just love, how your car look on the track, one of my favourites here .. very nice stance :) Btw what spacer thickness do you run with CUP wheels?

Thanks. I will have a look at RStuner, what it shows and make some logged runs. Maybe reload the Stg1 map.

Well, got it fitted in the end. Nothing knocks when putting on power, but there is faint knocking sound when lifting off sometimes. Dunno what that is. Worse thing is, the car drives absolutelly crap. Its quite silent, compared to standard manifold with gutted precat, but the sound is bland...

Chinese manufacturing tolerances are hit and miss i guess

Thanks turkie. I hope it won't be neccesary, because its now set up that even with powerflexes it does not vibrate excesivelly, which was the case around certain RPM after i have fitted gearbox powerflex mount. Around 4000 it was unbearable, because it resonated through the whole chassis so it...

I have everything powerflexed except main engine mount and there is NO clearance at all when tightened....managed to bend the manifold ang get 6mm of clearance...wonder if it will be enough.... buy cheap, buy twice I guess :( Lesson learned. Sad thing is, I dont see many other options, and many...

And... it does not go exactly as planned :D Piece of chinese junk...
