I have got this which came with a motor and Omex 600 which was piggybacked onto the original Clio loom. I believe that it is a knock sensor, but could be totally wrong. It can be yours for the cost of the postage if you think it might help.
I loved my RC8s, even if the “grabbyness” was a bit of an issue to start with, but you do need to keep an eye on them, because mine disintegrated after 1 qually and 1 race!
Another vote for the GP5W. Looks good with a bit of paint on it as well. As for noise, whilst I have always had Arais, they are noisy and I have always worn earplugs on bikes and in my Radical. Doesn’t really matter in the Clio, because there isn’t any wind noise.
Nick built the unit and I installed it before taking it back down for Sandy Brown to map it. I think we ran about 50 litres of fuel through it before he declared himself satisfied with everything and having arrived at 9am, I left at 5.30pm, so the unit is well run in now and basically just needs...
Photos of my car aren’t deceiving, it looks scruffy and needs some tlc! I’m at Donington the same day, for a first run in the car after installing a new PMS unit, so hopefully I will be ready for the season in Castle Combe Hot Hatch and an occasional run out with the WSSCC. It needs to go well...
Having raced a Radical for a few years, we never had any more fuel in the car than we needed, so after each race or session, all the fuel was pumped out (sometimes as little as half a litre!) and just the right amount of fuel added for the next race, so my Clio has a dry break on the fuel rail...
Balance yes, but lightening the crank is a recipe for disaster as you could end up releasing all sorts of manufacturing stresses. As mentioned above, bolt the flywheel to the crank and the clutch cover to the flywheel and then get it balanced. I was absolutely gobsmacked at the amount of...
I’ve got an Omex custom loom, which just runs the unit with ITBs. I bought the unit complete with the loom, which was originally piggy backed onto the stock ecu, but when the race team fitted the unit, they cut the original looms out and threw them in the bin!
Engine on a stand, trainers on feet, pry bars behind dephaser pulley. When whatever was stopping it coming free gave in, the pulley dropped straight onto my little toe, which is now much larger than it used to be!!
Thanks guys. A little bit of persuasion with some pry bars made it give up its attachment to the camshaft, but provided a stark reminder that wearing safety shoes in the workshop is a good idea. I wasn’t!!
