    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Not yet, but it does have a 5v output I can take to it. My plan is to have a couple of bulkhead connectors and move the ecu into the car, then at that point in time wire in the sensors to the ecu. It'll wait until the new fuel system is done as that way I can plumb in fuel pressure too, set up a...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    Do you know where they break (and material they used)?

    06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

    What's the difference in design on the compbrake mounts? I've just put some on a set of b14's too and have struggled to get the front where it should be. At the moment I've got the b14's adjusted within the range specified by Bilstein (the measurement from collar to bolt centre) - but the...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    Interesting, though who knows what material they used, and maybe they were just machined as identical replacements. FEA would show up stress and fracture points so correct materials and structural enforcement can be made to the model if needed. If it turns out nothing but an oem spec cast piece...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    Billet of 7075 would likely be fine, the point is though that without doing FEA it's pissing in the wind guess work. Luckily I can have that done. Well I'm sure you wouldn't miss them for a couple of months!

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    scanning, fea and 3d printing of prototypes all free - brother works for an oem in italy and says he can get them done as a side project. Then I just punt the model around for best price cnc'ing. For me and what I'm building the car around, longer shafts are not a viable option as it...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    The issue is entirely because the wishbone ball joint is horizontal so you can't just sleeve it like the mk2. If you can 3d scan some EE brackets and adjust the model to re-position the bottom ball joint hole down Xmm, it's just a cnc away from being done. The Xmm needs to match the distance...

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Cheers, nope not been polished but did have a quick dusting of silver when it was fitted to freshen it up. Next job on the tinkering list is to mess around with the spare mani and TB etc, I was thinking of crackle black for that, but I kinda like the silver now. Yeah I did put the radio on...

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Cheers, I'm pleased with how it's turned out so far - little bit different to standard but subtle enough still. Swapped the front wheels round (derp!) and took it for a drive, seemed like a little knock from the front px side - but with the solid top mounts some harshness I guess is to be...

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Ahhh ffs, yep looks like the fronts are muddled up, rears are ok but I blame Dad as he passed them to me! lol Cheers for pointing out though. Anyway it is back together!! Fully done (well minus the geo and the vent). But what started as a lambda install turned out a little longer than planned...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    If you can work out the exact track width gain from doing this, then I reckon a bit of trig and I could work out what the minimum neg would be on my top mounts. As I could measure mine out as is, and just substitute after the bottom of the triangle to factor the track width gain. I've got a...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    Yeah it's not the best standard, which is why I was concerned taking more lock away would be borderline mental for road. Ah yeah good point, -2.5 static gain from the ee's wouldn't be ideal. That alone is on the top end of what I'd be wanting from a dual purpose car, using ad08r's and at most...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    You already been driving with them then? How's it compare to a regular mk3 turning radius? That's the main thing that puts me off the Cup Racer stuff tbh needing to run the lock limiters, really puts it in to track car from jack of all hatch :\ Otherwise Cup geo setup is win-win all round, as...

    As well as that list you'll want the steering rack lock limiting shims too.

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Been slowly plodding along doing stuff and things on the car, and the air filter heat shields are 99% done now. Enough that I can get the bumper back on as I no longer need the visibility that was giving me! So tomorrow should see the bumper and inner arches re-installed, and then I can book a...

    Head unit aerial adapter

    Yeah you need a Fakra for the Clio side, shouldn't need to strip anything of the plug though. I'm using one of these, and was plug and play for me: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autoleads-Audi-BMW-Ford-VW-Vauxhall-Fakra-to-DIN-Aerial-Adaptor-PC5-100-/361301562948?hash=item541f405644:g:c6gAAOSwL7VWoKXf

    Not sure what price RS charge for the longer anti-rotation links, but you could always go for the adjustable SuperPro link. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk3/suspension/renault-clio-mk3-superpro-arb-drop-link-kit.html Lemforder list the OEM anti-rotation link as...

    Crank angle

    @samben Mines set to a standard Bosch 60-2 trigger with 84deg crank angle, and 0 crank offset. Next time it's mapped I want it verifying with a timing light though, as I've heard I should have 8deg crank offset on that. I'd be interested to know what your DTA ends up being set to? I assume you...

    Which head unit?

    No don't think it has a display out, but does have the option to add the steering column controls. Err I haven't actually tested the sound, other than checking 'yeah it works'! Suppose I should do that :tearsofjoy: I did some first miles in the car today but I didn't want the radio on as it...

    Which head unit?

    Well the Clarion is really good match for the Clio in my opinion, def not your typical aftermarket jazzy affair. Not the greatest pic on my shitty phone... but a quick snap whilst finishing the install. There is less difference in the flesh than the image suggests, and I'll chuck some better...
