You dont want to hear this, but if the impact was hard enough to put you in ae, it wont drive right again. It will have been weakend in the impact and will have lots of small creases in the shell. This will reduce rigidity and therefore handling. Basically you will have a floppy shell. Small...
LOL. You paid alot of money for your car, dont be a cheap ass gypsy and use budget fuel.
By that reasoning, Paul D, you might as well use tesco value car oil at the next change and fill your washer bottle with water from the washing up bowl to save 4p.
There are differing opinions as to...
Id just use camber bolts. I know people say they weaken the struts but i have been told about people running them on 16v track cars for years with no problems.
At the end of the day people put 10 year old cars on track with no problem. What would be stronger a 14mm bolt from a 10 year old...
As far as i can tell i have insulted no one, broken no forum rules. Just because i hold opinions different to the mainstream car owner gives you a reason to want me banned does it?
Check out the history of the Third Reich. They had a similar philosophy. :roll:
Well maybe Jermey could arange a test session at Donnington for me and my test team?
Ill write a full engineer report.
Heres my team:
The guy at the back just makes my tea :P
Off topic so apologies, but:
Surely you cant be serious? Its very hard to heel toe in a Clio. The pedals arn't atall right. I cant do it effectively in either my Williams or Jills 172. However in the MR2 the pedals are close together, pretty small, and its pretty easy. I find heel toeing in a...
I actually considered a Trophy. My reasons were that it was probably the best value for money hatch at the moment. I don’t think its the best all round car, but its probably the best bang for your bucks if you want to go as fast as possible. It's a car with 3 years warranty...
Id get a laon. Finance means the loan is secured on the car. Bank loans are usually unsecured. This means if you miss payments the bank cant take your car away. A finance company could.
If an engineer wrote the marketing text it would explain the grammatical errors as well as its repetitive nature and lack of a inherent meaning.
Maybe the chassis engineer should stick to his piggy back dampers and Renault Sport should hire a competent technical writer who is fluent in the...
Having said that i was under the impression that resevoir dampers have a separate remote resevoir. I was also under the impression, as pointed out earlier by another member, that the sach units are 'piggy back' dampers. They only have 50% more fluid than a conventional monotube damper.
How...
Im no expert on anything. i just use my common sense. Yeah and value for money i doubt you could beat the Trophy, if you wanted a new car for track. I have 2 williams. One i use, one i dont. I also have an MR2 for kicks. :wink:
Im not trying to achieve anything. Im just adding to a...
Well if you swapped the whole suspension, including the wheel, i think you would notice it yes. I do think the Trophy is am imporvement, from what ive read and seen. I was watching you at Donnington alot. I just dont think the imptovement is the result of the damper. I think its the combination...
The springs on the Trophy are lower and i assume stiffer so using a damper off another car would likely effect the suspension negatively. You have to match the damper rates to springs.
F = - kx - bv is simple equation describing spring damper relationships.
F= force, k = tightness of...
