haha yeah i sold them, got them checked and tyre company said there were miles left on them. Delivered them FOC from Co Durham to Coventry and did offer to collect them FOC if Curley wasnt happy with them.
Its a long story but i am glad Curley is now happy

ill be honest, i havent had much chance to throw it around due to weather and lack of time.
Handling seems very good and precise though, does obviously feel bigger/heavier than the clio though. The ATB Diff works well but can be abit of a handful, aslong as you expect it to do the unexpected...

engine should have been completed but the billet flywheel from Ktec doesnt fit onto the crank and the locating pins dont line up. So awaiting...

Looking at either manifold for a full forged itb'd engine with very peaky cams (should peak at 7800-8000rpm)
which would you go for? why?
Personally im thinking 182 manifold but would like some...
With my new setup im looking at simplifying the whole engine bay and car.
what i want to do is remove the Renault ecu completely.

Will be ordering a pre-assembled Omex loom but what other problems will i face?
