Ah right thought it was advertised with climate as most silver cups are. Just give me a shout about the splitter. Russ

I've got a carbon one if you're interested mark? I assume this cup has climate control so still got the ac delete to do? Seen it for sale a few weeks back. Russ

Yes mate etch primed first on the bare metal, few coats of regular primer, all flatted off before a few coats of Matt black top coat. Just rattle can job. The Matt black is very forgiving and easy to get a good finish. Obviously the key is the prep. They're no where near perfect but good enough...

Not much has been happening, still waiting for the cage, it's on route on a pallet somewhere, expected it this week but unless it comes tomorrow (xmas eve) I won't see it for a while. I've started removing some interior brackets and the seat rails and it's the most boring job ever! Managed to...

Would be nice to get it all back together while I'm off over xmas. I'm starting to collect bits for my engine build too so stay tuned. Russ

Headlight blanks are done and fitted, head lights back on the spares box for wet weather. On the same note I've made a Matt black blank for the rear number plate light too My gearbox has been to my man for a check over, the diff was sent back to gropper for s check over too. The diff had...

They look horrific! Chris from cm composites makes the cup racer 'style' ducts and are great. He does smaller ones too that don't need the bumper modded to fit. Russ

Nice to see it on the deck and rolling around kenny. 369 is Renault Glacier White the same as mine. They look very similar at least when mine is clean anyway. I might have missed it but what is the plan once it's finished, as with the sequential box etc it's ruled out of a lot of race series. Russ

It's the workshop that I use its where my mate runs his business from. Russ

I can get it somewhere near with the equipment we've got but normally have it done at the start of the season properly by Blink and if i have it in bits mid season i'll get them to do it again. They've done it twice this year and then i had to do it roughly after cadwell myself. I do take the...

Well chaps,bit of a change of direction, plan was to tidy it up, do all the bits, mot it and run it for the winter, however, something's come up so i need to get my hands on as much cash as possible so im going to sell this. Just doing an advert currently. Still been doing a few jobs on it...

Thanks mate appreciate the comments. Russ

The only thing stopping you getting the original cover back on is two lugs on the cover that sit behind the pulleys though, easy sorted. Russ

They'll work with any as you have to drill the end of the cam to accept the dowel. Russ

Yes will be doing away with the vvt, pure Motorsport do piper cam pulleys with a dowel to drill and lock the cams to the pulleys. Russ

I couldn't possibly tell you that! It's not gonna be a massive money build. I need a spare engine anyway as after whats happened to everyone else's this year I'm thinking mine is living on borrowed time! So I could build up another the same spec as my current lump but I might as well make a few...

Needed a runner for the winter until I sort a van for next seasons race duties do managed to pick up a nice cup recently, 85k and last owner for 7 years! All standard apart from a Yozza exhaust which is coming off as its too loud for my liking. The renaultsport stickers will also be removed asap...

Not a lot going on really, just waiting on some parts coming to refresh the front suspension, a few bearings and new nuts and bolts etc. subframe is off to have the wishbone mounts strengthened and some other mods to make the whole thing a bit more solid. Although I don't agree with...

PMSL really? Russ

Have a good day mate, did you get the bottom mount and linkages sorted? Russ

For reference my rear springs are 750lb, pm's rear bearing and stiffening kit + last year ran the Whiteline arb, will be running the pms arb this year but I might also try a stiffer rear spring again something like a 900lb depending how pre-season testing goes. Iirc my old cup car used to run...

"I can teach you but i'd have to charge!"

Ah well please yourself! :tongueclosed: All I was getting at was I doubt its setup as stiffly/aggressively as mine at the rear and I don't have issues. Russ

What spring rates are you running Dave? Russ

Refresh my memory on the cat cams kit james, the cams are specific to the lifter kit arent they? Do you know the specs, duration/lift etc? PM if you want,need to speak to you about those td pro races anyway. Russ

That swift is an absolute menace, its actually comedy fast in a straight line the way it takes off! How hard do you try to get heat in your tires, esp. the rears on the green flag lap Dave? I never have a problem with stone cold tires on mine, not to the extent you seem to anyway. Russ

Looking good mate, assume you're having the suspension geometry all set up when it gets corner weighted? If you didn't know, just fitting the rear shims won't nessecarilly give you the camber/toe you're looking for as it all depends how straight your beam is among other things, a '2 degree' shim...

Nice write up mate, didn't realise you'd had the engines swapped out and back again before hand, nice work! I assume there were 6 cars in the team if you did an hour stint (2x30mins?) just interested in how it all works as I've said it might be something I'd do next year. 2015 All clio team...

Cheers col, no point doing half a job is there?! Russ
