Must admit we struggled with the Trofeos, we had previously used nankang. They seem very soft side walls compared to the nankang,we ended up running around 38psi hot at the front. At the 30-32psi max recommended by pirelli they were almost coming off the rims.

Would it not be beneficial to set the car up on the Pirelli's from the start ?

Maybe clubman na and clubman turbo, at least that way the lap records won't be all turbo cars

I did the spanner work and day to day stuff on chris' car

We came to the conclusion that we had actually selected the wrong vehicle to use for TA. In 2015 it was a NA group - ideal for the Clio but even then they allowed a modified diesel in the group at Rockingham. In 2016 it was open to turbo cars. I guess it's not easy to group different cars. Some...

I would agree regarding battery location, the standalone ecu will give you some benefit over standard ecu remapped, what about trim, door cards, carpet and cat ? When we fitted a rear cage we asked Simon if it was ok to remove the rear trim, he checked with Mike and said it was ok. Each time it...

Can you run standalone ecu in clubman ? Theres also trim / carpet required and a cat, the battery also needs to be in its original location It will be interesting to see the times of another Clio in TA Trofeos turned out to be a decent tyre but not at the pressures recommended by pirelli We...

Which TA class are you planning on running ?

You doing TA next year ?

Did you try spring compressors ? Good choice of suspension kit

That makes the shank about 165mm, I'm sure the one I made was either a 165mm or 170mm shank Should work a treat I trimmed the bottom edge off the tow eye cover allowing the strap to sit vertically

Best ask Tim whether additional plates are required or is it just drill holes and bolt in

Looks like you will be welding in spreader plates and bolting through Wonder how much Tim charges to fit ?

Half cage ? Rear only ? Only front cage may require dash mods What you going for ?

We've used AP 5.1 and Millers 300 with no issues

Cracked pads is pretty common after hard track use My personal choice would be RS29 but they don't come cheap, DS1.11 would probably be my second choice. Just make sure you bed them in as per the manufacturers instructions.

We tried XP10's and they were ok until on one occasion at a wet Oulton Chris locked a front and guess what - mega brake vibration, only option was to skim the disks. We fitted DS1.11 after that. The only pad we have used long term that hasn't given any issues is the RS29.

I would say Pagid RS29 but they ain't cheap or try Ferodo DS1.11

Got to be worth the drive to a specialist, not sure who's in the North East though, Mark Black at MRS is probably only a couple of hours away.
