Race car, wife and GF would definitely be more than I have time for ;) We've only been together 12 years and have 3 kids, no need to rush into things. Getting married in May!

Some video of you Pete

Mallory Test 15/8/12 Tony told me he an Jay were heading over to Mallory for a test day and I figured it would be a good idea to get some experience on that track before my first race, so I booked the day and hired a trailer. It was the first time I've towed a car in about 15 years, but it all...

How did you do it then chip? Moving the balljoint or offsetting the arm itself?

I told Dave ;) I noticed I scarred Pete off the circuit and he didn't want to play any more after that :( Pete mine is probably heavier than yours too, I have not done any lightening apart from the basic interior and I even still have glass windows. Plenty for me to work at for next year.

The bolts to hold the cage down and fix front to back are M8. Door bars are bigger M10 or M12. Get at least 8.8 high tensile steel. There's nothing special about them really. No bolts in the fitting kit.

lol I'm sure I was just following your advice about shortest distance between corners ;) Funnily enough I have been converting it to its rally car persona tonight ready for the rally day at Castle Combe on Saturday. 2 mud flaps fitted so far...

Because one has been replaced at some point.

Sometimes cup shafts have ABS rings, click is more likely to be a balljoint.

You've got me thinking about that cycle race picture in the cafe again now...

I have that one too. Workmanship could be better but it does the job just fine.

They are the correct thread and seat angle. Is 24mm long enough though I can't remember.

It is probably a faulty coolant temp sensor just reading a little low.

PM me your e-mail I'll send you a copy.

You would need different valve springs at least to go to anything like 422s or 423s so would be head off. You may also need to have the pistons machined or go high comp to stop valve piston contact due to the larger duration.

Fitted a my cams and a new cambelt yesterday. Decided on a red cam cover this time. New cambelt and bits to go on. All back together. Took it out this evening and did about 20 miles in it and it all seems fine. So now I am back were I was 6 weeks ago lol! Need to give it an oil...

Other way around really 428s are milder.

pdf I have says 25Nm + 42 degrees +/-6

Some nice footage there too. Have you got a lower final drive now? It doesn't seem much lower from the indicated speed.

Nice one Mark! All the effort paid off.

You can't disable the auto wipers/turn to normal intermitent action. I'm sure I've heard you can fit a ph1 stalk but don't know myself.

Those bolts are a total ball ache. Every time I undo one I pray lol.

I have a pdf with the procedure in. Drop me a pm with your e-mail if you're interested.

The renault pdf says: Oil pressure Idle 1 bar 3,000 rpm 3 bars Think mine is similar to that when warm.

They can be quite heavy. Just out a new one in mine after 137k and it is completely different now.

I think this was just my carelessness :o Pretty sure I didn't check the aux belt was running correctly around the crank pulley, as I hadn't taken it off. But it must have moved...

Quite a bit to update! I missed my first race at Anglesey after a little mishap with my aux belt. I put a new clutch in. Had the engine back in and started it up started fine and I was giving it a once over when I thought something wasn't right with the aux belt. Then I saw it was shredding...

It does stop anyway after about 10-15 minutes lol

My Sealey one took the F4R crank pulley bolt off no problem.

You could have just used sealant on the oil breather instead of buying the gasket. The renault manual for the ph1 uses sealant rather than the gasket.
