Was going to look at this today but felt the price was too high given it needed the timing belt/dephaser done, wheels were kerbed and had cheap budget tyres on it. Appreciate it has some nice mods but needs money spent on it to bring it up to top condition (£550 for timing belt, £200 wheel...

Reread the thread think I misunderstood I thought you were submitting a warranty claim for the seat bolster wear but think it was for the tailgate rust.

Don't know a lot about Clio geometry settings butbhave been racing cars for a good few years and your advice above is not even close to realistic. 10 deg of castor is ridiculous as is 1.5 deg of rear toe. Camber does a lot more than keep tyre wear even.

If I change the engine it then makes the car unuseable in terms of Scottish hills and sprints the change of block would put the car into sports libre which is a non starter. I don' know if the clio blocks can be linered or if they are pretty much as it is.

I have done hills and sprints for years but done sls for a few. I was in class A one below pro. It really is a good championship

Thanks guys these are great little cars but just not ideal race cars for what I have in mind. I managed to get the Impreza down to 1060kg and think the clio would also be somewhere in that bracket fully stripped and caged, difference is the Impreza had 551 WHP while I would not try to get that...

Did you get any joy with Renault ref the seats.

Well now that the race Impreza shell has gone I have space to get the 197 into the garage and start giving it a bit of TLC. I have had the car now for a couple of months and it is in very good condition but does need a few bits done to bring it up to a standard I am happy with. So a start this...

Yes I am talking about the stub axle.

Guys quick question when changing a rear disc on a 192 is there any reason why th axle can't be lubricated with an LM high temp grease ? When I removed the old one it appears the axle is only lubricated with oil.

I bought 4 sets of Pro race 1.2 direct from Rimstock for my race Impreza and they were all made with the specific bore for the car at no extra cost. The good thing is you can specify the exact offset you want.

Thanks I am sure it's not that difficult but I thiink there will be mors to it than u suggest. If the steering rack is a quick rack that would need to changed not sure if a RHD one is available with the same ratio. The steering column mount will no doubt be part of the cage crisis beam so that...

Not sure if this is I the right section but has anyone done a right hand conversion for one ?

What are the differences, assume track width increased and obviously geometry changes.

Is there any difference between the cup racer hubs etc and the standard 197 parts.

It all depends what you want. There are various grades of Poly which vary between manufacturers. I have just broken a race Impreza which went from standard bushes to Powerflex all round, slight improvement felt on track to Whiteline Motorsport bushes which were night and day. Vibra technics...

Got a seized offside caliper on mine got a new one on the way seems a common fault.

I will have my 2008 197 for sale in about 6 to 8 weeks currently on 63k miles. Bought it recently with the intention of turning it into a full track car but decided to go down a different route as this is just too nice. Will come with brand new front and rear grooved discs, new pads, new drivers...

Brilliant thought I had read that somewhere thanks.

Excellent thanks assume rear the same ?
