    Clio 197 Track Build

    Just a quick comparison before / after the ASTs were fitted. Not properly set the ride height yet, but this is probably halfway down the full thread. The wheels look lost, considering some spacers. I used to run 15mm hubcentric spacers on the 172, so thinking something similar for the 197...

    Thanks mate. 450/450. Keeping it fairly tame for now, may upgrade the springs next year once the car is bedded in and I've got more confident in it on track.

    No probs. I'll drop them tomorrow and move the bolts. Amy other top tips? also, do you know what the marks on the top relate to? Obviously Degrees of camber, but what's the scale? Not had the alignment or geo done yet.

    Hey Pav, they're from eBay, there's a polish renaultsport dealer on there selling bits and bobs. Search Clio 197 caliper and he'll pop up somewhere. I paid something like 130euro each. Nice guy though and did a deal on 2 calipers and a new front ally rad. I think he does red or silver (2...

    Top Mounts in situ - not too happy with the way these sit, seems to be very difficult to access the adjustment bolts... have to think on this. Anybody with any experience of ASTs care to comment?

    Clio 197 Track Build

    I thought about it, but then decided against it as I don't have a method of neatly cutting them out, and for the weight saved vs work done I don't think it's worth it? May do in the future. ps I regularly go to both Thetford and Dereham, that's quite local to you so could tie up and sort your...

    Thats a bit far mate... :-) I'm in Sussex! Once you have CLIP installed, plug it into the ODB port, and scan the computers. The airbags should all be in there "fault" condition before you do this (no resistors connected etc), and you should see under the status section what is wrong. You...
