    Front suspension Arm

    Thanks Tom assume it's deep enough to take the ball joint taper etc. How did you bolt it in place.

    Front suspension Arm

    Will soon find out Tom, thoughtbI would give it a try and set the castor to zero, went for the standard front bush. You wouldn't have a link to the tool you bought for the arm ball joint.

    Brake cooling

    Looks like there is a hole in the market for someone to make some.

    Front suspension Arm

    Is the anti lift feature worth having in the rear bush, certainly the Whiteline anti lift kit works well on the Impreza's

    197 Road car for now

    Thanks Tom, must admit I have been surprised by how badly thought out, in terms of maintainability, some of the parts are on these cars. The front suspension especially everything is corroded together probably due to being dry assembled with little care or thought given to dissimilar metal...

    Front suspension Arm

    Thanks Tom so basically like everything else on these it's F***** tight and a pain in the backside to get out lol. Cool will just get the black series non adjustable ones. If I keep it I will be putting some KW Clubsports on anyway, so as you say can adjust at the top. In Road car set up as it...

    Gripper Gearbox Issues

    I have used the millers 75/140 oil in my I press box at over 500Lb/ft this will not cause any issues with the synchro's. The reason people use this oil is more for shock load protection for the gears if anything it will protect more than a standard oil.

    New design Brembo fitting pins -interest?

    Are these still available, I have just had the same issue as most have already seen. I have no idea what Renault were thinking when they designed these. The Impreza Brembo set up uses an R clip similar to these and I have never had an issue.

    Engine block info

    That opens another question, if there are no issues with the Clio blocks why do a Megan conversion or is it just because it's an easier packaged transplant

    Engine block info

    Excellent thanks for the info is there a week point other than the gearbox.

    Engine block info

    Thanks for all the replies, theproblem is the weight of these cars even stripped and caged I think you would be at 1050kg, for what I want to do I would need just under 350 WHP/tonne with me in the car and with fuel. I really don't think that is achievable

    Engine block info

    Trying to make a decision on whether to turn myn197 into a full blown at car or sell it. I would need to get somewhere between 350 wheel horse power from a turbo unit. I could fit a Megan conversion and forge the engine. I am curious about the blocks, from my nolder xperience racing Impreza's...

    Worth the price ?

    Thanks for the offer Eddie car looks superb but don't think Red is an option for him. What sort of money are you looking for.

    Worth the price ?

    The car was for my older lad David who is looking for a nice 200 Cup with recaro's and rear spoiler. We would have paid £6750 and collected it from Peterhead north of Aberdeen this weekend but cheapest owner would go was £7400 which for me was too expensive. So still looking.

    Worth the price ?

    Yes the one above doesn't have recaro's or the rear spoiler but you can see a comparison in terms of cost for a similar car without some of the mods.

    Worth the price ?

    Thanks I think he thought there was a huge premium for the Liquid yellow and yes there may be for some but not to the extent he thinks. And to assume you can charge top top money for a car needing a £600 service, kerbed wheels and budget tyres seems strange. Hope he sells it but for me it is...
