So just a few pics of the brake ducts, how tight! No room whatsoever but just about clear everything and still intact after 2 track days. The hose does touch the drop link and slight rub on the disc on lock until I pulled it back a little. After the geo setup it was a different car completely...

Couple more little jobs done this eve, ceramic coated the wheels and calipers and fitted some new pedals. Ordered some toe shims to straighten the rear up so will fit them tomorrow, re adjust the front and re check, then corner weight it Wednesday and finish the brake ducts! Absolutely in love...

Well its back together at last new brake lines made up/brakes bled/rear beam fitted. Cup wheels and new Toyos have landed. Half way there with the Geo but passing it over to my cousin to sort now as it's just beyond me. I've slotted all the spare shims I have at the bottom so he can just remove...

So I've just fitted the Pure axle strengthening kit / bearings and now need to get it set up. Popped it on one of my customers 'hunter' tracking kit today. Front camber is adjustable so can sort that and have already fitted a 60' + 10' camber shim on the N/S & 60' + 60' + 10' on the O/S. Its...

Ive just fitted a Toyosport manifold, the car has been mapped before would I gain anything by having it done again with the small cat being removed??

Hi Ive just got my new cup spoiler out of the box from Rofag to test fit it before paint and its miles out! Should they come pre bent or are you supposed to bend them into place while your fitting it if this makes sense?!!

Will do no problem! So the understeer issue you mentioned, Had a play with the damper settings at anglesey a few weeks go and had to keep the rear relatively soft, there was a fine line between the sweet spot and horrendous understeer as you said! but overall Im chuffed to bits with it so far...

Not at all, all comments are more than welcome! Basically I've always been into cars it's my job, fairly big power Cosworth, 2 fair Civics then an MK Indy R I went all out on which is probably the quickest well balanced car I've owned and close to what I've driven with work . . . A friend had a...

Few more pics, just finished the beam ready for powder coating. The axle kit is really good value for money, great fit

Yes I've run Gaz on a few of my cars and they're great for the money. They've only charged £230 for all four corners great value!

Possibly in the future yes, I think Id rather put my money into a diff before a proper manifold. They're big bucks! This cheap toys already spiraling out of control haha!

Thanks for the comments! What are the differences between the cup and standard subframes? That was the joy of my previous kit cars, all the pick ups were rose jointed so could literally adjust everything to suit! Again Im new to the Clios so will take the advice on the oils. Booked Blyton for a...

Front rad support was rotten so has been replaced and weight reduced ready for powdercoat with the axle and rest of the bits now. Stud and nut kit from Pure, repaired many rotten fixings for the front bumper etc. Cleaned the rear diffuser up and fitted some carbon tips from Pure. I think they'll...

Shocks are due back Monday so can get the axle welded up and everything powder coated grey. Brakes on, some new braided brake lines made up for the rear to accommodate the axle mods. Gen Cup Racer wheels and spoiler will hopefully land next week also! What engine/gearbox oil are all you guys...

Front rad support was rotten so has been replaced and modded for a little weight reduction ready for powdercoat with the axle and rest of the bits now. Stud and nut kit from Pure, repaired many of the usual rotten fixings for the front bumper etc. Cleaned the rear diffuser up and bonded in some...

Again while apart I decided to send the calipers off for a proper refurb with BSC. Now this is a bit against the grain for me because I normally tackle them myself but hearing amazing things about them thought I'd bite the bullet! Full hit on the front and rears in Enamel with proper stencilled...

Before I started the big strip I checked the geo (never printed off the settings) but it was a holy mile out!! So while I have some rare ramp time the brakes and rear axle was removed, sent for sandblasting with a few other bits and bobs ready for the Pure strengthening kit with their spherical...

The drive home when I collected it was nothing short of terrifying the geo was all over the place pulled all over! So I just decided to get stuck in and go right through it. Borrowed a ramp from a garage I do a lot of work for for a few weeks and set to! Wheels off, Send the Gaz Golds for a full...

So a brief intro, I wanted to start a build thread for myself to look back on and for any advice/help and things I may be doing wrong! Always had RS Turbos, Cosworths and an Mk Indy track car previously. I bought a 172 around a year ago for some cheap fun and after a few laps instantly got the...

Turns out the 225s are out of stock now after waiting for days! So will go for the 235s, hopefully wont rub too much
