Rally Clio 197

[binjoau]

Very cool! Like the green touches

New wheel studs, brake discs (Brembo HC), brake pads (Endless A06), brake lines and a spare wheel holder:










The suspension is also fitted now.










My manifold was broken, so i got two new flexible pipes.









I will test the whole setup this saturday on the Sachsenring. There is a trackday for rallycars to get the cars ready for the season. And the best of it: it's free for us! :biggrin:

Getting finished this week :thumbup:

Some pictures of my testday on the Sachsenring.









In the first turn i tried to get a feeling for the new car. After some corners I recognized that the rear was a little bit nervous and I had problems with oversteering. Before turn #2 I adjusted the rear suspension to get it a bit softer (just 2 clicks) and i lowered the tyre pressure by 0,2 bar.
After the adjustment the car was pretty nice to drive. Just slightly oversteering when letting off the throttle or braking into the corner. But I really need a limited slip differential. I had no grip while accelerating at the corner exit.
All in all I am pleased with the car.

This week I will install the carbon door panels and the roof air duct.

3rd place in the first race (never thought this would be possible, because i have a stock engine, stock gearbox and no LSD) the setup of the car is amazing and very easy to drive!

 

[PROIL]

looking good
what make of suspension have you got

 

[Duli]

suspension setup looks great. which manifold flexis are thoose, where did you got them?

 

[Counterdoc]

Suspension is a custom-made KW Competition 3A, fully adjustable (compression high- & lowspeed, rebound and ride height).

The flexis are powersprints (powersprint.info). I think the diameter was 51 mm and 100 mm length.

Next race, next great result :w00t:

2nd place (of 26) at my "home-rally", 500 metres away from my house And 3rd place (of 47) in the overall-ranking (including Mitsubishi Evo, BMW M3, M5, Subaru Impreza etc...).

I am leading in my championship now.













Next rally is this saturday.

Custom KW? Bet they weren't cheap! Looks great

 

[slowly sideways]

Ive a complete set of polycarbonate windows with sliders for sale if you're interested. They were fitted but never used - I sold my R3 in homologated spec and removed them again.
Bought them here http://www.plastics4performance.com
Excellent quality.
PM me if you're interested

Next victory
We had two rallys this weekend.

On both rallys we achieved the 2nd place in our class. The stage was very difficult to drive. Lots of fast and bumpy sections through forests.

We are still leading in our championship.

Overall-Ranking of the second rally, including all classes (also Mitsubishi Evo, BMW M3, ect):

We helped out a Mitsubishi Evo Team after the finish line, as their car won't turn on again




Will post the onboard video this week.

Sad news!
We had a crash last saturday... Everyone is okay.
It was a fast, slippy section and I braked to late. I just get it managed to brake in between the first two trees, but hitted the next one some metres later. Repair costs are about 2000€, but at this time we have no budget left, so maybe the season is over now for us and we lost the championship we were leading.
