anyone drag there clio? i have a few vids on my account of a friend with a renault 5 with a f4r engine, its quite quick.... heres my car anyway

that be mine :) (the 182 that is)

well i suppose its possable if the stock item is poor, but i would be supprised. i cant see how to increase gas speed, whilst also increasing flow... same goes for cams, you generally loose somewhere to gain somewhere else,

runner length i would say. couldnt really have the same runner length without going over the top of motor. general rule of thumb is short/fat runners give better gas flow (i.e high rpm hp) long/narrow runners give higher gas speed (better for low end...

nice :) i would source the original seats + wheels though ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee9H93uvYRo&feature=related reckon this puma would see it off ;)

thats a fair price really, OE is never cheap. my only problem would be if it wore very quickly again as you mention, i would be a bit upset then, hmmmm

you would be amazed how cheap a d16 build is. we ran 10`s on a £90 chinease turbo, and £80 cast pistons! had about £650 in the motor

another one of my corny vids ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO0_I9gVYJE

yeah love it tbh mate, closest thing to a 5 gtt without the drawbacks (too old to live with a 5 now, soft in my age :( )

k20, lol, noooo, we would run much quicker lol. we run the shitty D16. 1590cc, 1 cam. http://www.youtube.com/user/BackyardRacing1#p/u/4/qoUDUL7mX-g

lol alright dude, long time no see :) ive joined your gang it would seem ;) yeah seen the re-trims, that will be my fall back if i cant get new tbh, but im a sucker for OE. aftermarket, yuck!

just wondered if they were still available, and price? cheers team :)

spark plugs while your doing everything else :) and sealant/loctite for rocker cover (no gasket for it in the set)

I have done one before, only 8 valves too, so a little simpler/cheaper/quicker than a 16v motor. the pistons are very heavy duty, so chance that you have damaged them is slim, which is good :) so 8 valves, and a cambelt kit, and only single cam, so again, simple to time up. i would get the...

just throwing this out there, i will take almost any 172 peeps have, cambelt failures etc perfect, anyone needs rid, just drop me a pm :)

sorry to hear your bad news mate. if you do want to sell the car though, i`ll take it.

not really, as you should still rotate a few turns by hand before attempting to start, in which case if it was wrong, you would almost certainly spot it then.

was gonna say, just pull the head off 1st before buying a complete motor, if the bottom end is fine, just drop the head at at engineers for new valves, then re-fit with a full belt kit. work out much cheaper, and you also know that the motor has had the belt/tens done. by the time you have...

hmmm,i tried that with no joy, hence removing the alternator. i suppose it depends how far up you jack the motor. either way, its not exactly a big job to remove the alternator...

dont need to remove the spring bit from the tensioner assembly, remove as whole. just remove the alternator first.

i had a similar fault on a renault 5 once, i would not of thought the gearbox was at fault. when your revving to 5k and the clutch starts to engage, try to release the clutch a tiny bit, see if it stops. i.e you have too much travel on the pedal, and the pressure plate spring forks are making...

well yeah, more so for a "universal" map, hey ho

there not designed to hold the cams while you torque them, simply to check alignment....

and here was me thinking the car would only start if it was set on the compression stroke :rofl:

fair nuff :) didnt think they would let you see the maps. but still, adding fuel has minimal effect, in comparison to adding ignition, which can have a big effect ;)

surely it must just of increased ignition timing on the map a little, as messing with fuel makes very little differance to hp/tq. does anyone have the ignition map to look at? even better, would be the stock ig map, overlayed onto the rs tuner map or do they not release that sort of data? i...

lol, thought i would sneek it in, all in context of course ;)

no probs :) heres 1 of mine from 2 weeks ago, note not much torque really, but quite high revs, makes good hp
