Nice, keep wanting to do Spa myself but then keep not having anything working all summer long :( But I think you'd need somewhere like Spa to try a vmax for sure, I don't think any of the UK tracks are long enough unless running upwards of I guess at least 260? I did all but vmax it in...

Cheers, and I need to catch up on everyone's build threads too! :) I couldn't bare to keep up with them whilst my car was sat engine-less for what has probably been the best part of 5 months?! I've got the car booked to have the engine put back in on the 16th, but what with the wiring to the...

Nice, which ratios did you match it to in the end?

Hi, yep it is a straight fit. Sorry not been on the forum much recently with the car being engine-less! Although...my new engine is built and ready to be collected! I've taken my own advice this time and used a pretty stock bottom end (ARP rod bolts, ARP main studs) and mated this to the fancy...

Yeah that's the one, 1.6 Scenic with a TL4 021. FD is 4.733, & spot on compromise tbh - although probably wouldn't want it if I commuted!

That's a big ol jump 5th to 6th, certainly gives you an over drive. If you have a xbox 360 and Forza 4, get the Clio 200, buy the race gearbox - and try the ratios out, that's what I ended up doing! lol Spoke to Ashford about the fuel pump wiring and they said I should absolutely do as you said...

Ah it seems like it was about Aug 2008 the later box came in, not necessarily to do with R27's. I guess only real way to know if your car is around that period is to physically look on the box. Iirc is it's on a white label and also stamped into the end casing somewhere. My box is off so I can...

ah right if you can bypass it yeah that would probably be easier. I don't like lots of disparate wiring systems though, drives me nuts! If I can however get away with having a new proper engine side loom (something I was consdering anyway with the move of ECU to under dash), and feeding a new...

Interesting, I feel like junking the UPC and both the chassis and engine looms might be the way perhaps? Then adding in a SCS Delta PDM or an AiM MXsl would be cool when that comes out later this year. In fact the AiM MXsl dash with integrated power driving would solve another issue I could...

Interesting, thank you. So was your problem fixed by simply changing the UPC? How did you diagnose - multi meter? Might be hard for me to do that with no engine now!! The 4.7 FD is ace, especially with the 003 ratios. I don't think it'd work quite as well with the 031 ratios as 1-3 might be...

Yep update is..... damage was way more extensive than just spun bearings. Turns I out I was suffering from det again so was close to dying anyway :anguished: Gotta be a fuel supply issue or mapping to be affecting all 4 cyls, however to have this same thing happen to 2 engines both mapped by...

Yeah that looks like it. Mine has a Quaife not Gripper, at the time it was a daily although now I'd probably still go Quaife/Wavetrac as being a lazy sod I like to fit and forget! No doubt the Gripper is the 'best' though wrt performance. But yeah overall the box is spot on, the 003 ratios are...

No idea on b14's, probably never will! Madeno make a point of advertising linear rates in their upgrades though, so standard must be progressive, probably! B14's aint half bad tbh, and for the money....the only 'bargain' I have fitted on my car! lol Well I just looked up the ERS part codes to...

You might have plotted the ratios wrong, 200 boxes are an 031 not 003 as titled. 197's are either 003 (early, short 5/6) or an 024 (late, long 5/6). Assuming this is the box I saw for sale on FB then it was advertised with same ratios and FD I run (003+4.73), so Vs a 200 box it should be like...

61N/mm Front, 70N/mm Rear. Not going to want stiffer than that for a car that never see's the track. Seems a bit sledge hammer to crack a wallnut here if I'm honest. All very well saying you can put up with 'fairly hardcore', but suspension for the road is very different to suspension for the...

Look decent those curves from my understanding - fairly digressive and there are proportional increases through the settings. Looks well balance the bump to rebound so shouldn't get any ill effects like jacking down (or up), and with decent increases in the low speed too. If you're not heading...

Spot on and they are a great price as they are hardly used, buy them imo! I would have were it not the worst possible timing and I also bought stock b14's over winter :\ I spoke to Leo at Madeno ages ago and the guy really knows his stuff, also @John Gordon has a set of Madeno's I think - I...

You should just track the 595 tbh, probably be bloody good and it's what makes these sort of cars so great having such versatility imo. Can insure it for those days, and that'll still work out cheaper than buying a track car and having it sat purchased, tax'd & insured, for most of the time...

Fair enough, that seems pretty bloody good considering the performance, suppose it's light which is the thing. I don't expect a BRZ to be great on fuel at all, same power and weight as the Clio as near as dammit - and the Clio is pretty abysmal to be fair! However a set of nice wheels and...

ah well it does somewhat depend on the extent of the damage really, I don't want to be buying new rods, pistons, head, valves etc. But through a process of elimination on seemingly every bloody car on the market, turning the wick up further is at least my preferred option now :tonguewink:. Hell...
