Looks gay.

Dirty cars rule. :shock:

Its safe to say that not many people can drive an Evo anywhere near its limits on track. Stick a very good driver in both cars and the Evo would be around 4-5secs a lap quicker than a Clio.

IMO, you simply cant beat the Goodyear Eagle F1's for complete all round ability and they are a real bargain.

I have yet to use a better all round tyre than the F1's and as long as they stay such...

Whatevers cheapest. Most batteries come with a 12 month gaurantee anyway.

TBH, I dont think you need a very heavy duty battery to crank over the Clio and as long as your charging system is working...

I can supply a powerful generator if needed. Will only take about £5 worth of petrol and it'll run all day. We can run anything off it as well, be it 12v, 24v, 110v or 240v.

I'm running the AWT cams and have been very impressed so far. They are still on standard timing and could certainly do with timing in properly, but I just cant be arsed at the moment. The engine...

Agreed. Markko must be feeling devastated.

They have now declared the rally as finished, so Loeb wins and McRae finished in the top 10. Not that any of that matters now. :(

See story below. Martin went off sideways into a tree and apparently the co-driver bore the brunt of the impact. SS15 cancelled after other drivers stopped to help.

Very, very sad. :cry:

...

If it was brake fluid, it wouldnt really dry up. It may just be water accumulating in the centre cap that gets spun out when the wheels turning.

Whip the centre cap off and see if its dry behind...

I've been running 205/45/15's for ages on the front. No clearance problems at all, but on the same score no real grip improvement over 195/50's.

IMO the best tyres on the front of the Clios are...

Yep, same price for the car. I am aiming to go back to the rallying in maybe a year or two, but want to go gravel rallying which will require a bigger budget and I am hankering after rwd. Looking...

As a rough guide, we tend to base our fitting prices on however many point cage is how many hours we charge. i.e 6 point cage is 6 hours (£150 at our labour rate of £25 pr hr) and 17 point (like...

Another Clio, but will completely strip it and use the money gained from selling the rally car to get all the development bits finished.

Wrong strut maybe? Lots of the Renault struts seem to have vastly different camber settings on the hub mounting.

I dont know. As I am not going to be rallying for the foreseeable future, it seems a waste of such a highly prepped car.

I want a more track orientated car now, which can be built on a much...

At the moment, they are just reamed out to a 15.5mm hole as opposed to the 12mm hole as standard. This has enabled about 1.8 degrees neg.

I may take them out a little further (16.5-17mm) and get...

If someone offers me a good price for the Clio now, I probably will.

I fobbed off the 2 people who were dead keen to buy it a few months ago as I changed my mind, but I now have other plans again....

Thought about camber bolts, but just heard too many horror stories on different cars, so decided to slot the top hub-mount on the strut. Which enables you to have adjustable camber, but without...

Yes the springs should be fine, but to make sure the outer edges of the tyres dont get destroyed you'll need some negative camber, which I now have. :twisted:

The only problem I have now is I...

Also (for Northy) got some Yoko prices as well.

195/50/15 AO48's semi-slick in either S/SS/Med compound are either £220 for 2 (delivered), or £410 for 4 (delivered).

A006T 190/580/15...

The dash weighs very little at all as its such lightweight plastic, which is why I put mine back in.

Getting it down to 900 kgs should be quite do-able, but not so easily with a decent (ie...

Ideally you should weld plates in to disperse the weight better. The Clio floor is very thin like most cars and likely to split without proper plates, if the mounts are just bolted through the floor.

Check the main wire hasnt worked loose. This will just cause clicking and not engagement of the starter. On the other hand, if none of the above sort it, then its likely your starter is screwed. If...

The problem for me is, how do you know its fitted correctly? All cars we had in with knackered engines had their systems installed at various recommended outlets by professional installers.

They...

Honestly not sure, but they all had the same type of damage , that you never see on just a worn out engine. Probably something to do with constant mild detonation.

I'm sure it the kits fitted...

And from what we have seen, dont be surprised when your engine destroys itself very early on in its life.

Of course, of all the failures we have seen not one has been down to the LPG conversion....

We can also accept bank transfer, so if your desperate and cant wait, then transfer the funds into your normal account and then just wire them over.

Cheers

There arent any banjo type fitments on the front brake pipes. In fact, I dont think there are any banjo fitments on the Clio.

Lol @ Brun.

You sound like your using the Oilmans quotes. :roll:

Just dont run the slicks on the rear then. Use the decent slicks on the front and run something like Colways on the rear.

Anyway, I can check again, but I reckon I can get better prices for...
