Legend, thanks.
I was only wondering because when I get my decat I was wondering if I only need a straight pipe with a flared end or if it needs the lambda bung.

Had another good weekend out at the hills last weekend. Managed to get second on my last run which I was really happy with as the guy I got infront is quite quick! First place is a second and a half up the road with nearly double the power. Was aiming for 3rd, so delighted with second. This hill was Garron Point and it was the slippiest hill or circuit I have had the Clio on in dry conditions. Normally I cant get the back end to move at all, was a surprise (and scary) when it fired the tail out in first practice!
The last run was the closest I've come to binning the car as it pushed out wide on a deceiving right hander with a wall on the outside. I had committed and had the power on hoping the diff would pull me in, I couldn't lift or I would definitely have been in the wall. But it probably helped me make it such a fast run.
I think the Clio has to be the best handling car of its type, its just a pity a little extra power is so hard to get (and its probably a bit heavy).

Was watching @burrellbloke's thread and he got some cup racer spec springs for his car. So I bit the bullet and done the same lol
I went for 450lbs front and 650lbs rear.
Front is about bang on for what the cup racers used, the rear is 75lbs-100lbs softer.
I'm a little worried that it will be too hard at the back for hillclimbs, but if thats the case I will use the 450lbs rear springs that I already have.
I think softening the front with the stiffer ARB will still be beneficial with either rear setup.
