OMP do a front sump guard

Tank guard - i got a GRP one made as a mould from a spare tank. this is half bolted and half sikoflex'd on.

Suspension:-

1 way adjustable
GAZ Gold 800 quid
AVO monotube 800 quid
Bilstein monotube (Motorsport version) getting prices as these are sourced from abroad.

2-3way adjustable
AST
DYNAMICS
Proflex

will make you some up but will be between 1700-3000 quid.

omp sumpguard 190+vat and large version is 260+vat
thats tweeks btw,

foxy of cliosport shaped abit of sheet material to fit subframe and just bolted it on

you planing on doing some hard surface rallys?

[richy]

yeah been thinking about altering the car for a few rallycross/sprint tracks(rougher/loose surfaces) as tbh its to low/hard atm, its set up for tarmac tracks.

i did a day in my mates megane and really enjoyed it, throwing the car about all over etc

i can get sheet alloy through work around 4 to 6mm thick so will make a sump one! but much cheaper then the omp lol

the fuel tank thing sounds good, just need a mould or spare tank lol, my fuel and brake lines are internal already so no worries there!

suspension wise im currently on avo coilovers with stiffer springs and was looking to change them, but unsure what would be best, as it also would like to start using it more on B roads as there some pretty rough ones around here lol

iirc mark ritchspeeds old rally car was using std style shockers although dont think they was renault!

What rate spring you using im using the cup racer set up (350lbs springs) same ride hight no issues so far for tarmac single venue rallies.

I would recommend your current set up but raise the ride height. Its the lack of sus travel that usually the issue. Give it a try before spending loads of cash.

im running faulkner 350lb springs now(no helpers etc though), std avos are 250lb which i have in the garage

when you say cup racer set up, do you mean the de-carbon cup shockers or you changed them now?

Where do you get the front de carbon cup shocks from? Wouldn't mind a pair to match my rears
