Yeah just get fresh standard stuff from Renault Parts Direct

Sounds like your ideas are in the right direction. A light billet fly wheel with ARP flywheel bolts, removal of any AC and PAS will give the engine extra help. A realistic 200bhp with just cams could be a stretch, but not impossible if you have a freak engine. On realistic rollers 190-195...

I'd like to know please, I need to do mine.

100% - driving on the limit in a 200bhp car is way more fun than driving at 8/10s in a 400bhp car.

Looks great. Would happily blast around in that. New wheels are spot on, Old ones were bin worthy. Good purchase!

Very unlikely you'll notice any difference between 205 and 195, so i wouldn't worry about it. There will be more grip variation from different brands of tyres and different tyre conditions.

Possible to share that discount code? :P

It's all a bit of personal preference between aim, budget and stiffness. BCs are certainly worth considering with custom spring rates. Bilsteins are good for fast road with the occasional track day. If it's purely a road car then new cup shocks and lowering springs are a very good option.

Having a gripper diff will make next to no difference for a service. You'll just be advised to use slightly better oil than the standard renault stuff if anything. So if you don't want to or can't do it yourself. Any Renault specialist would be fine. To be fair any general mechanic will be...

Silverstone GP is such a great track isn't it. One of my best ever trackdays was there. Where did you get your steering wheel cover, Ebay?

Black hammerite on mine lasted years. This time I tried some high temp paint (600 degrees) and it flaked off after only bedding my new pads in on the road!!!! Car looks great. Anything carbon dipped or wrapped should burn. Tacky stuff! My mate has a lovely high spec Ph1, but it's got an...

Offends my eyes. Awful is being polite.

Yeah, just keep an eye on it and top up check often if doing lots of miles.

What a transformation!

As said, camber bolts and adjustment on the front would put you in a much better place. The rest isn't too bad. Most rear beams are all slightly bent. You could add a camber shim to the NSR to make it nearer -1.53 on the other side.

Haha. Worth it though. More like a 4.5 gear instead of a 5th.

That's about what I was thinking too but had no idea if I was way off the mark or not!

What's a Megane shorter 5th gear worth second hand please @NorthloopCup ? I had mine swapped back out for a normal one.

Thanks for the alert. Just ordered two fronts for mine :)

Had mine weighed a few times. At its most strippped state it was 931kg with around half a tank of fuel. (that was with full dash, rear cage and no metal cutting out)

Nah it was an ACS kit. Wear was non existent. Was still functioning the same as when it was new. I just had to clean up the bolts to make them look good again. They were black mild steel from memory.

I coated mine in ACF50 when they were fitted. And after one winter and very very little use corrosion had already hit hard. The bolts looked a state.

Oh really what have they replaced the 4100s with then? @frayz

Any. 4100s are a great kit. 5100s are better still.

Parallel toe is fine, but I think -1 degree camber isn't enough. I'd make that at least 1.5, not that I can see it affecting your drive too much. Have you looked at your arb bushes? They could be shagged. and possibly causing it to tug under load.
