Re: F7R Vs F7P inlet. is it exactly the same.

haha i remember trying the f7p inlet flange on the f7r now... they are different indeed, if i recall correctly the inlets on the megane are different, and are actually smaller than on the f7p cylinder head?

Re: Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

Ah yes, this also true :) With that in mind, running the same set-up with all arms just above parallel, under hard cornering braking and cornering, it will induce toe-out. Which is what you want for better turn in, and is what im currently setting on my kart :) I hadnt thought of that :) Thanks, Tho...

Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

Hi all, as i'm moving away from the volvo scene i thought i'd share my idea's and experiences with regards to suspension set-up etc. Now from what i've found with the front suspension, lowering it too much past 'centre' destroys the handling. Here's what i mean, this is arch gap of my car with 195/4...

Re: S14 coilover conversion

what i was planning was to use the s14 coilover itself! As a mate has a set cheap i was planning on machining out the steering knuckle ever so slightly so that the s14 coilover fits into it and then weld it up so its all nice and secure, was then going to extend the original strut tops by about 2 i...

Re: Brake Upgrades

When i was running 13's the standard brakes were more than adequate to lock up 195's. My opinion is an brake upgrade is only good if you have the rubber to slow the car down, so bigger, wider 15inch rubber will be able to slow the car down faster than the dinky little 13's. So the bigger brakes will...
