I know the mini cooper championship guys put scary high pressures in the rear tyres and they get some super fast lap times.

Check you have the heat shield on the starter. i didn't have one and my starter used to get hot with the same symptoms your having.

Perfect thanks

Are the genuine Renault Timing tools for the F4r the same for mk2 and mk3 Clio’s. I can get hold of a genuine set that I’ve been told are only for a Clio 197/200 but I thought the tools were pretty much the same for all F4r

Looks good, any reason you went for the Catcams solid lifters and not the ones from Pure motorsport as the PMS ones are quite a lot cheaper.

You have http://racetechniques.com/home.asp in Cheltenham also. Ive used them a lot for bikes and cars.

Have a look at http://www.xrallyparts.com It's in French but they have an English button somewhere. They supply maxi engine parts, I'm sure I read somewhere they they do a 1400 kit, they do have parts listed for the K4J though but its not cheap.

Cheap site that... LUK clutch for £73,.99

Speak to Quaife.... they were in the process off doing a sequential box using the standard gearbox cases. They were asking for knackered 1*2 gearboxes around a year ago so they could do R&D, don't know where they are with it now but it's worth an ask.

You might get more interest in the group buy for the timing tool now!!

Have used Wheel Coat a few times now, pretty much always ready the next day and good communications. Quite a few Powdercoaters in Fife but definitely the best I've used.

What machine did you use? I've been looking at buying one also.

Thought so, will have a look for one. Thanks

Recently started having hot start issues with my cup. Starts every time when cold but when hot sometimes just clicks away. Starts straight away if you bump it. Turns out there is no starter motor heat shield fitted, ordered one and it is on its way. Do you think the starter will be damaged...

Can you still get the timing tool for Group N timing?? I know you used to be able to get them.
