If you want some budget competitive motorsport lookup your local motor sport club and they'll have access to autosolo, autotests, 12 car rallies - all of which you can do in a std car without a special license or equipment. Then you have sprinting/hill climbs which you can do in a std car but...

Mine had them from the factory. Some did some didn't.

My box has done 140k in my race car and has been abused for years and is still on the original oil. I've had no problems I wouldn't worry about it.

If you just want to fixed the boiled issue then you've done enough. Can change the rest of the fluid at your normal interval.

Looks good Mark. Looking forward to seeing how it goes on the rollers.

If you pull the fuel rail out with the injectors on and turn the car over you will probably be able to see which one has a crap spray pattern.

With the bumper off you can access the catch with a long screwdriver from the front. If you shine a torch in there you can see a small letter box shaped hole in the slam panel. You can see the mechanism through there. Screw driver and hammer towards passenger side and it will release.

I think @MicKPM is your man http://www.cliosport.net/forums/diamond-motors.163/ try contacting him.

You're a week early ;)

Bad news Tim. What happened? Looks a great spec.

I use Michelin PS3 in autosolos that have 1A restrictions. Michelin PSS might also be an option. The old AD08 would have been an obvious choice but now they're AD08R they're 1B. You might find some of the old non R versions about somewhere.

VVT kicks in just over idle speed (1200 rpm or something) so it won't affect you during running. Your idle will be worse though without VVT.

Looks good Sonny. I was very tempted by James' engine should be a goodun' :smile: Edit: just seen your update - solid results and should be good and reliable.

There isn't much space, if any but it doesn't seem to matter in this case. It is only a small area that doesn't have the "specified" clearance. The car won races with it like that. When I get it dyno'd I will try it bonnet open and closed to see if it makes any difference.

That's what I have Sonny. I've not had it dynoed yet but they were run on icemanuk's car if you remember him (Russ' shell) and it made good power.

I drove 1200 miles through France this week and saw 3 new 200T and I've never seen a 1*2 or 197/200 over there ever. I've only seen 2 200T on the roads over here since they came out. Maybe they're selling well on the continent like some people say.

Most modern cars actually generate lift so countering that with a small wing and splitter can be beneficial. I don't know the specifics on a clio though.

I was away otherwise would have come along. Good result :)

Bad news. I'd echo others in suggesting just throw a std second hand engine in, don't even bother putting cams in, tweak the map and just enjoy it. You'll only be 10bhp down. I don't think I've known a single high comp build last more than a few months on here. For the gains it is not worth the...

Merlin at Castle Combe (near Chippenham) have a shop you can peruse some stuff, not a lot though.

lol I actually posted that in the wrong thread, does seem vaguely appropriate though ;)

Throttle bodies and a new loom

I was in the Megane, the Clio is still in pieces.

Looking good Robbie. My car was seriously filthy after that 12 car too.

Personally I find removing the box in situ on a driveway/without a ramp so fiddly I'd just pull the engine and box out the top as it is quicker and less time lying under the car. @Budgie does it without removing subrame or engine.

But he can turn down to zero except when parking and have the same as he has now + easy parking.

Good news Tim :)

I think you need to read the opening post more carefully.

Wiper motor ;)

My rear wiper did that and a new motor sorted it.
