Pulled up outside my house just now. Sun is shining, Claude’s looking great (bar the wonky exhaust) - new mounts have been ordered.

I'm still lusting after a carbon splitter, but also feel like it's going to take a pasting 😭

Would look so good though, especially with the carbon exhaust surrounds.....

Did you manage to get that rear bumper trim on? Difficult to see from pictures.

Not yet pal. On the list

Advikaz · Jun 16, 2024

Swapped over the exhaust hangers.

(They are straight it’s just the pic). Old ones were a bit screwed

They’re a little higher than before, but I’d still like to get them a touch higher in the recess ….

Not bad for near 20 years old ☺️

Big compliment from you with your minter.

Mine gets used on track as well, so will never be concourse… but I try to keep it as sensibly mint as possible, whilst still being able to use it

Advikaz · Jun 29, 2024

Some new bits arrived today. Will fit them when I get a minute.

Thanks @Mr Underhill for the heads up 👍👍👍👍

Going to look awesome when ktec get their splitters back in stock…

Only problem with carbon splitters is the day you fit it is the day you smash into kerb 😂

Despite blowing the box, the car was an absolute weapon last night for the few laps I managed.

Claude’s final moments.

Looking very dapper in your track day attire!

Shame to see it ended like that but I’m sure mark can get you back up and running.

Just out of interest, what mount are you using for the camera position?
I quite like that idea.

Clart · Jul 3, 2024

What’s actually happened to it ?

Thanks mate, very rusty. Been a long time since I did much on four wheels.

Haha, yeah… straight from work.. Chelsea boots, the lot.

Stick a Blackline diff in and save yourself some money over a Quaife.

I think the straps on the clutch cover have let go - or at least some of them have and they’ve machined a hole in the bellhousing.

Agreed. I was saying to Mark earlier, not had good experiences with Quaife, and know numerous in the same boat 💩

What would generally cause them to s**t the bed chief ?

Age
Bad luck
Valeo

Any of the above 😂

My Valeo clutch was fine, but there's been loads that have failed.

See above 👆🏻

They don’t like high rpm downshifts as it loads the clutch cover up massively.

NorthloopCup · Jul 3, 2024

Also worth noting, genuine Renault valeo clutches have thicker straps on them compared to the ‘oem’ valeo that you can get from the likes of ECP and GSF. The straps on those ones are noticeably less substantial.

JamesBryan · Jul 3, 2024

Rev matching helps them live a bit longer it seems, which it sounded like you were.

But the clutch was probably already past it's best before you got it.
