really love this car its an inspiration! one thing that interested me is what is the purpose of raising the diffuser? Also the LiFe battery is hard to find information on so your experience with this and any specifications would be interesting.

hi, got any info or links to this? interested to see that.

ok sounds good, watching with interest!

will the top mounts sit ok with the machined metal cap on top of the springs on the kw's?

I am interested in this also, from the little I have looked into it, it wont work, but would be good having a definitive answer.

Yeah it was the original kW springs! The torque mount is great it has taken almost all of the engine movement away, there is some extra vibration, it is not too much for me though. I now have the gearbox mount and cannot say I noticed anything other than the gearshift feels a bit better. The...

Managed a couple more tweaks today despite wind and rain! fitted a powerflex gearbox mount, and painted the inlet manifold and throttle body.

Ok had some more time with this, I definitely liked it, best on medium settings where it makes the pedal feel more responsive. I've taken it off now and it took a bit of getting used to the standard throttle again it felt a bit unresponsive at first. I've decided with the other mods I'm doing...

Have been making some slow progress. After finding the cage had not been fitted correctly and a trip back to the garage they have done a pretty tidy job of it. The mounting blocks that go behind the front seats were not fully bolted in, basically the guy I trusted to do the job went off on...

Thanks, getting used to people having opinions on the choice of colour, "its a theme" was the latest soft comment lol. Its fine to not like it or think it too much, I love sitting in it and when you are all buckled in its a great experience. Its now 10 years since I was last out on track in my...

Got the car back from the garage after they fitted the cage and harness's. They commented on how hard the floor was when drilling it which was interesting. The father of the owner was getting ready to eat a really tasty looking roll with square sausage and egg, I was well jealous, I wanted...

I got mine a few days ago and got round to trying it tonight, had a bit of a play around, so far I like it when its in sport mode, I dont really like it on race mode. If you set it to high, it makes trying to drive normally difficult, and i found pulling away from stand still it could result in...

superb work! are your downforce figures straight downforce? or is this lift reduction, would have thought it unusual the stock car would produce any downforce, although most cars don't have a working rear diffuser as standard lol

I've bought one to try, i've always found the throttle response on the clio a bit odd and there is a delay i dont like, its my first fly by wire throttle car i've owned. I've got raptors crank pulley to fit aswell. I'm hoping i will be able to tune it to be more how i'd like. I had a couple of...

fitted a powerflex torque mount, that's quite good isn't it! I felt like the stock mounts were way to soft, could be age? but its far better now with that mount alone. I have the upper gearbox mount and lower mount to fit, will leave the last engine mount stock. The interior is currently gutted...

Because the floor is fairly flat at the back and with uprated suspension its suprising what you can fit in there, I had a cement mixer in there at one point lol.

just before Christmas last year one of the o2 sensors packed it in, the car was due an mot early Jan so I decided to ignore it for most of winter and walked to work, I've now shifted the mot date so its not just after Christmas, and I can actually get to doing things. First job has been to...

Had a couple of issues, first was the front springs snapping, replaced with a pair from cobra. I cant help but think of curly fries when I look at these. Next I had the good fortune of defeating the odds and managing to get a tiny stone wedged between the radiator fan cowling and the radiator...

Bought this car late 2015. Its a FF cup, recaro's, yellow interior pack, already came with KW v3 Coilovers and Geo setup by Mark Fish. Since then its mostly been a van whilst the other half surprised me by moving into my house and wanting the garden done.... Thankfully Van duty is now over...

Thanks, i think I have figured it out from looking at the images in your thread. It's kinda out of my hands now though, swmbo has decided that the harness's and cage should be fitted up by a proffesional, which i'm fine with so its going to get a local garage who build rally cars to do it all...
