Turn the block blue without seizing?? Are you sure???

Ill make a guest appearance. :)

Graffiti wasn't up to its normal standard I have to say but still got some cool photos.

Me and a couple of mates are going to the graffiti tunnel tonight in London to he some pictures. If anyone would like to join us we will be there at about 9-9.30. Mike.

Please put a build thread up! I want to see all the parts you've got. Are you aware just how much intercooling your going to need to get to 200mph?

Am I reading this correctly???? You've built a 700bhp engine what requires a special clutch from helix to hold down........ AND YOUR ON THE STOCK TURBO?????? Please tell me I've read something wrong here.

To get to 700bhp I'm gunna guess at a 50-60k budget to do it properly.

When are you starting the build. Make sure you put it in the project threads on here.

Bet you do!

I rather have a DC5 than anything VAG!

The 2.0l turbo petrol engine in the A5 has major issues with the pistons cranking causing massive oil consumption. I'm failing to see this amazing build quality. Even Renault don't have these issues.

I don't remember Ford Having any issues with there Diesel engines and there heads going porous. I though heads going porous was a thing of the 80's.

Times have changed I'm afraid. Ford now have really really good build quality. VW do not. Anyone, Ford haters or not can't deny the there engines are awesome. Very very strong and over engineered for the job.

Had a bit of a pay this weekend and got the brakes and clutch master sorted. I've started putting the body panels on so all the drilling and cutting is done before the paint job is done.

Sounds to me like the cam timings slipped.

If its sparking its got a crank signal. Can you here the fuel pump prime when you turn the ign on.

Yes mate. I'm 100% serious.

Have you got a couple of friends that need there clio mapping? I don't mind flying over but would need to be for more than 1. I could also fit and time your 197 cams too. Mike

Proper trackdays are the safest. I challenge anyone to have a crash at an open pit lane day at Bedford. (Mechanical failure not included) The day long trackdays attract people who are genuinely interested in trackdays and learning to drive fast. Action days/ Trax are for a £30, "watch this"...

I must of just managed to get the chav-tastic sections at Combe then. Both in my experience have been a Freefrawl

Trax is equally as bad.

Yeah. I know what that is. Shame we ran out of time when you were down last. Let me know when you want to bring it down and were get it sorted.

How's yours going mate?

As per texts, gutted for you mate! Looked a lovely example before Bellend Beemer Boy had his way with it.

To summarise this whole thread, I think the little Ford is going to hand Renault it's own arse and chav off into the distance.

I think the FRP without the diff handles as well as a trophy. The FRP with the diff will wave one goodbye.

If you don't understand you never will! You seem to be ignoring all the points listed. The spec is huge! It's like saying a Clio V6 is just a body kitted 1.2.

Fit a new engine bay loom.

Here's what's going make make the ST leagues ahead of the Clio4 How many company's out there specialise in truly push the limits of Renaults. And how many for fords. A 280bhp ST will be normal "meh" in a couple of months. How ever, the Clio 4 will have a remap and and inter cooler, then no...
