can't speak for rs tuning... but my own attempt's been fine for a few hundred track miles and a few thousand on the roads...

ooh...some more rotrex people... can we share data when people have got a few miles on their motors? what size pulleys on the blower and the drive are people using on their shiny new modern clio's? has anyone installed their blowers after their throttle butterflies?

good find. my 2p worth... i do like things like this - at least someone in the world is looking forwards... i often wondered about 'electric' forced induction... but i don't really see how it could be applied to retro-fit to our renaults with 12v systems. we'd either need a boot full of...

@f0xy - don't jinx it. lol. the gasket went about a fortnight before I reckon. it sucked a gallon of water in on the way to work one day :( I have every confidence in it ;) for this year.

**AGAIN - CAN WE PLEASE KEEP THE TOPICS ABOUT THE CAR - THE GIRL VIDEO'ING IS P*SSED AT YOU ALL - YOU TRY WORKING ON A GERIATRIC CLIO AND KEEPING CLEAN** Moderators - if this thread keeps going off topic, just lock it for me. Many thanks.

@f0xy - ha, small world... yeah you did... and they were top notch. Last year it was running the same engine, but running off the throttle-pot on 3 and a bit cylinders due to head gasket failure. The people who got my oil all over their bonnets are no doubt still p*ssed at me. I was also...

Can we please keep the comments about the car as opposed to people's appearance - this sort of thing puts people off becoming a paid up member. @Clio-Ell - There's a photo on http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/trackdays/imagegallery/oulton2008/Default.aspx at the bottom right of the gallery

@chrisjk - um, that isn't my hand. i am the one nervously pouring the traction fluid in! lol @shepperdspie - i'll tell you when i've rolled it. assuming I've done the sums right - it was running 112 brake at the wheels N/A - and I'm spinning the blower up to about 70,000rpm (1/2 speed) so...

@f0xy - sure, but I take no responsibility for fires, death, french engineering etc. ha ha ha. this is assuming I haven't broken anything in the meantime :eek:

Hi all... Been a long while since I posted on the forum... but I hope these two youtube links will explain where I've been. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf0_5C1kPCk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8jxTWLZ8Js More videos and performance/reliability information will be available...

You could try a "green" cotton panel. They used to make a really nice noise on cars I've had with them. I know there is a Clio II 1.4 16v one if that's your motor. I bet you can get them for about £20 nowadays. K-Tec, Demon Tweeks, people like that stock them. And welcome to the joys of...

Which 1.4 are we talking about? I used to have an 8v 'energy' E7J engine and this was my findings from the same situation. I was a lowly student and wanted things faster, without spending oodles of cash. I started with the standard box. Then I bought a k&n replacement kit. It made a hell of...

the red and white hatchback was a new scirocco (spelling?)... was in the garage next to me. 240bhp according to the man with the laptop...

...has nobody ever done a diff seal? i'm swearing at my dealer, he can't help me as my chassis and reg don't relate to this gearbox...

My 'box is leaking from both driveshaft sides, and a bit from the selector shaft. I've got the part number for the N/S driveshaft kit, gaiter and other bits, but what about the other side - I can't find the diff seal on dialogy. I found 1 page, but there are 2 assemblies...lol I don't...
