Mostly, because I am bored, but I would like to call on the knowledge and experience of you guys for some help.
If I can manage to keep my job in this crazy time of life and keep the 5, I am going to rebuild it. But I want to know what the best setup would be.
It would be great if you could go into detail to help me and hopefully others build up a shopping list.
The only thing I know, is that I will be going 1.8 20v T Engine. but what about the rest.
Currently, I have these thoughts..
Suspension/ setup:
Front: Clio 16v Wishbones, Clio 16v ARB, Adjustable top mounts (Compbrake?), R5GTT Coilovers (Probably Gaz) Clio 16v Hubs (Are these different to the 5?)
Rear: Clio 16v Rear beam
Brakes:
172 Master cylinder and Servo
Manual Bias valve
Discs, pads, callipers = Unsure
Power Steering:
Corsa B power rack, does anybody know if the corsa C rack will work?
Actual Steering rack - Stick with a standard GTT rack if using corsa power rack.
Management:
Really not sure about this and have not done much research yet. I will look into how capable the standard management is before looking at aftermarket.
This is just the start, and all ideas at the moment but really want to know your ideas of a "perfect setup"
I am hoping for around 300hp and hope to use the car for some trackdays.
