latest stage of prep work with thanks to APS + specialist fabricator in Buckinghamshire. Some minor bits to sort out but 95% there now. :D

this is great stuff - and it's telling me that I will need to go for slightly "harder" settings as I tend to pick the twisty tracks out of the circuit schedule for trackdays atm. Croft in particular is muchos fun and demands really good grip out of corners to get the power down early. So I...

thanks I've got familiar with the traits of the chassis through plenty of track time last year. when you say "one more click" for the rears do you mean Bump + or Bump - ? I'll phone Mark Fish as you recommend and will also speak to the guy who did the cage work as he preps cars for...

I just had them fitted to the car as part of the latest stage of prep (roll cage also done). I've been through the custom build with KW based on car weight and the other info they ask for. can you help me with settings ? What ride height did you go for as a starting point. Also once the...

thanks f0xy, Christopher and others, I've just had the car prepared by a chap who does work for Palmersport and others. the cage is the OMP one from YBRacing on eBay.

also would be useful to know the weight of 4 standard (2 front, 2 rear) Clio 172 Cup dampers and springs

thanks - I have also found http://www.kwsuspensions.de/allgemein/Racingkatalog/kw_racing_comp.pdf but I'd like to avoid what KW say and find out a bit more from other sources. can't find any info on whether it's a different type of damper/spring or whether it's a completely different...

Sorry posted this after a few beers - have just re-read and did not mean to write Variant 3 - just Variant. anyone ?

Can someone explain the differences between the KW Variant 3 and KW Competition range of coilovers for the Mk2 Ph2 Clio ? specifically the differences for the 2-way adjustable kits

haven't been on the site for a while - but the car has been stripped right down over the winter, this is where she's at : roll cage going in next week (also painted white but currently waiting for dash to return from preparation) and KW are sending over a suspension kit which also...

is your car turbo'd ? we've been here before, but can't see the point when you've got a 2.0 N/A engine. the service from rstuning was superb and the ecu exchange worked a treat, even with different cats/cat-back manufacturers on a car that Paul hadn't seen.

the smoke is most likely the engineering oil inside the new Milltek bits - my new VW R32 system gave the same smoke but the engine was warmed first. hopefully they warmed it up in which case the smoke is normal for a new Milltek system !

what's it really going to get out of the F4R engine though ? A few bhp ? just not worth doubling the cost of the remap job - imho. I see what you're saying about the desire to match everything as well as possible though .... edit - slightly off-topic, I have thought about remapping the M3...
