Vapour blasting would be my go to for cleaning metal components.

If you want to do it yourself I've seen a few people use oven cleaner to some effect.

Sandblasting/Hub rust removal

Bought some used 60mm hubs to press new bearings into but i'm wanting to clean them up of all their rust whilst i'm at it. I had thought sandblasting, but hoping to avoid removing the ABS sensors as they always break. Is this doable if i tape it all up beforehand? A while back I used to use...

Might be worth a quick read.

I'd drop them off at an aqua blasting place and pay the money, they'd come back like new

Vapour blasting. Same as above

Aqua blast them it's cheap the arm shows how bad the finish was.

@Yiannis197 had some on his. May still do. That car was nicely set up

Yeah I used to have 80/110 FR on 1 way and then 70/80 FR on 2 way as higher pressures would allow softer springs. I also had digressive pistons on the rear and aggressive geo which would allow the rear to rotate - on a hairpin the car was an absolute joy, the front end would bite like no other, pushing the rear out.

I have to say that the car was superb on the 2 ways but still not as compliant on low speeds as I would have liked (for road). On higher speeds the ride would be transformed.

If I'd do it again I'd go Nitrons - AST needed a rebuild every 10k miles which was disappointing. The problem here however is that these days you are looking for over £3k for the 1 way Nitrons which is mental....£5k for the remote canister'd ones.

I have 3 way Nitrons on the Lotus and the ride/handling is from another planet. I guess you get what you pay for...

We are out in the Clio next Thursday at Snetterton to test the new set up. Hopefully the rear end is not too lively.

It is good to hear your feedback - hopefully the change of spring rates will improve the car.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback

Feels like I can learn a lot from reading this thread from the beginning. Will put the kettle on.
