    GAZ Gold or SPAX RSX?

    I had spax coilovers, the handling was great and the adjustable damping was handy but one of my shocks bent and then cracked leaking it's fluid, not sure how it happened, I think it may have been from a pothole I hit. They also made a knocking noise which a lot of people complain about, not sure...

    Im not really that bothered about the extra dirt, I imagine the spoiler changes the air flow/pressure so that's why more dirt sticks to jt

    It really does, I actually won a spoiler on eBay but I got messed about, the guy never sent it, gave me fake numbers and then just stopped replying after 2-3 weeks so I had to take an eBay claim up against him. I think I'll just buy the carbon cup replica spoiler at some point when I have some...

    cup spoiler mate, mine is a 197 cup but didn't come wih a cup spoiler, I'm guessing the first person to buy it chose not to have it which sucks.

    i agree, it's where they belong! It's crying out for a spoiler now.

    Managed to get a last minute slot on track with CSOC at fcs, awesome track, car was spot on and I managed to set a lap time of 1:24-1:25 which I was pleased with for my first time at Combe. 90A5F71C8_zpsg0ycygp9.jpg.html][/URL]

    Thanks mate, haha i didn't have anywhere else to mount it, only my second track day, borrowed a go pro of a friend and i don't have anything to clamp it to so just used a 3m mount on the helmet, i like the view from the helmet but the car just too stiff for it. i think the resonated scorpion...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    In the Michelin road and race series video the topmounts adapters bolt to the chassis and then the topmounts bolt to those adapters. What are the spring rates on the r3 access kit? I just imagine it will be softer on the back? keep us updated on how the spacers go, it's something I would like...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    The road and race series cars use adapters if i remember correctly, And of course cup racers have them welded into the chassis from the factory, I just opted for the welded in plates which go with cup racer suspension, I'm abot sure wether the bolt in option fit with the cup racer suspension...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    Petty sure it has the same anti rotation links and drop links but again I'm not to sure as I didn't fit them myself. Some how I bent one of my old spax shocks which I was running with sinos top mounts and Sean had these laying around so he done me a good deal, including the welding in of plates...

    Who's using Cup Racer / R3 bits?

    I have cup racer topmounts and bilsteins. I had the plates welded in for the topmounts, in the future i would like the ee brackets etc but i havent really looked into custom driveshafts, nor do i know how long they would need to be, as well as the longer tie rods etc. All of the work was...

    Tow straps for Clio 200

    as mentioned above m20 bolt, needs to be quite long and then a long tow strap, i lost my original tow hook so i used stainless steel m20 studding and fitted a strap like so.. also means you can tuck it away so it doesn't look silly driving around with a strap hanging out.

    My non sport had no rear wiper and passed two mots at different garages, I think they don't mind if it's done properly but if the motor etc is still there and just the wiper is missing they would probably fail it.

    I hate how cluttered up the back end looked with a rear wiper so I made a decision I may possibly regret.. De wiper. i used an acrylic de wiper bung of eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/301708138349), it worked a treat, just slotted in and sealed in place with silicone which came with the...

    Slow progress but after popping my spax shock i managed to get hold of some bilstein cup racers with h&r springs. The plates were welded in and the suspension setup by jade developments who as always did a fantastic job. As expected the setup is very stiff but it handles likes its on rails and...

    thanks mate, they are great, definite must with coilovers. Unfortunately not, I have a blown damper at the moment but hopefully get some new coilovers soon, spax want £250 for one damper and im not paying that for a shock that could blow again.
