ok, so been doing a bit of running round today.. bit-n-bobs and hoping the clios suspension will shake the yob out of the missus... no luck on that score, but!! i got my sweaty hands on the adapters so headed to the social club to see if my measuring worked out...  first hurdle cleared in a "fuck yeah" style.... disc + mock up bell on and things were looking good..   as with 4 pots and these 2 pot calipers, the caliper isn`t on sliders so the disc has to sit bang on in the middle of the caliper........  that`ll do for me!! its a bit tricky to get the camera angle to prove this but after poking a feeler guage in both sides, its all good!!! |

hello hello my little octane lovin amigos!! been a while and i could apologise, it really wouldnt be sincere though... so i guess your all due an update.. so heres what i`ve been up to! first up a very big thing!!!!  Jenson, born 14th november!! as for the car!!! on the std 106 pedalbox the brake light activation switch is mounted off the actual pedal, seeings as i`m now running a bias pedalbox i needed to work out a new switch.. with the extra gubbins on the pedals room is tight, bloody tight! so a bit of head scratching and i ordered up 1 of these from goodridge:  and 1 of these:  the plan being installing it in the line running from front to back where the AP bias valve used to live between the seats..... however!! as you can see the switch is intended for a banjo fitting not a direct screw in... so......... these were obtained:  (a massive shout to TRACY TOOLS, immense as ever!!) and after a bit of fiddling:  this will now screw straight into the T and seal with a copper washer!! next job.... oil pressure sensor!!! the std sensor is just a simple on/off switch rather than a scaled item so i got on the phone to Pete @ KA sensors (again mega helpful guy, ive known him a while thru other projects so knew he`d be able to help) i also got various fittings to go from the M16x1.5 in the block down to a -3 fitting for the sensor:  LOVE the test certificate! proper pro motorsport,, hahahaha there was a small issue getting my disc bells machined and a new machinist had to be found.. i`d seen a blog about a guy up north (middlesboro) who had created some amazing parts for his motorbike: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/shaun.wainford/Progress2.html (honestly!! if you have 15 mins or so to kill this is an amazing read!!) anyhow.. i emailed him, then phoned him, had a chat and liked his attitude! as a result he came up with these:    and a VERY attractive price, so they`re underway now which should see the braking side of things complete... with regards to the wiring..... *SIGH* still ongoing!! hahahahaha yeah yeah yeah i know, ive been saying that for a while!! in fairness to Matt he has had some rather BIG projects on the go for VERY rich customers.. globe hopping with STARTA21`s fleet of cars including a lambo.. mosler... this!:  theres also been the PRAGA project involving the redesign or the drivetrain/electronics package of this:  originally a hayabusa based V8 which despite being ferociously quick (search youtube - "praga/slovakring" iirc) blew up after a few hours, not ideal for 24hour events!! so its been swapped to a renault/nissan V6 a LOT of trick bits and scary amounts of money but all seems well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cgmsogPPdg fingers crossed in the next month or so there will be some more steps forward with mine... Cheers Stu |

alright folks... been a while aint it!!??? apologies for not being on here much.. this little fella has been taking up a LOT of time:  so, where am I on the car??? well.. the disc bells got finished:  and mated up with the AP discs:  clearance is TIGHT!!!  but all good.... unfortunately, the clearance between the wishbone and the inner disc face was also as tight!!:  there was only 1 sensible solution:  the std 106 legs were sold, and I treated myself to a set of fabricated struts from Colin down @ SatchellEngineering these differ from the std legs in that the hub (a modified 307 unit) is separate, the ackerman has been altered slightly and thanks to the hub layout the wishbone balljoint is much lower not only giving better brake clearance but also helping the roll centre and bumpsteer correction.....  as for the wiring.... ahhhhhhh the wiring.... its a LONG story but the basics are, I found out a few things I was told regarding progress turned out to be bare faced lies, so I lost my temper and had the car collected and brought home, a new manufacturer has been commissioned to do the job and is currently working on it... that's about it tbh.... oooh yes... ride height!!  cheers Stu |

Apologies for the photobucket fail..... ive started another account. . The old pics will reset in a few weeks.. With the massive scope for adjustability on the satchell kit I felt I should take advantage and do what I can to reduce bumpsteer.. so I made this at work:  Ive yet to take readings and adjust but its all ready to go next session at the workshop...

didn't get much done at the weekend as Friday/Saturday I was walking the tightrope of trying not to shit myself (another bug from the boy, cheers son!) sunday was a mates babys christening.. but in between church and the party I got 30 minutes in the garage... so, I used to have 1 of these: (not mine in the pic but an old cased EC1 branded with TDF)  that fitted into this:  and that bolted onto these:  now after the little fiasco that was "my looms" I spoke to SpecialistComponents that actually make the ECU and asked about recasing it for me, not only did they agree, they updated the software and made me a coffee while I waited and had a tour... so, now I have this:  and needed to make this:  to bolt up here:  via the magic box of Peugeot pick-n-mix parts a suitable set of shafts were found (307 outers/MA box inners)  these just need chopping and shortening and wil be given a refurb... finally some pics of the suspension:
