I like cable because of the simplicty and feel, but there is no real worry asto which one 'should' use. If i was competing, cable....... But there is a renault sport kit which you just bolt on that converts FBW to cable.

no, its a set ecu so bolt ons wont affect anything.

exactly :S

did 187 iirc?

old sunny's fiesta here and plenty of honda's.

the only solution to any problem is more power. Plany of FWD boys have no problem with 600-800bhp. Well, there is a traction problem, but you get over it at about 120mph.

hey, all the solutions are there, no need to search. If you've got the cash, you've got the solutions. If you thing jap is cheap, just go look at OS Giken stuff........bargain. If you want a 500bhp 172 engine with a box that can hold it, no problem......but it will not be cheap and...

we have pretty much moved to the conclusion that if you want a strong box that will not fail, you will be spending 3-7K on one. A competition box might be strong, but it does not survive the rigours of daily use. And a competition gearset will drive you crazy with noise.

No, it is a road car.

Not rossy's new engine. His will be a fait bit more extreem, but we have to get his one up and running again. Look at you lol, who do you think i bought the engine off! Shhh........keep the source schtung.

Depends on the engine and spec. Older engines like the F7 require timing via setting relative valve positions at set crank positions. The F4 requires cam setting tools in near stock trims and the cams are ground in to work with the installation tools that lock the camshafts for lift @ tdc...

If you read it i did say "cams, headwork etc" lol. Yes, used engines go through an aging process where they run through several heat cycles and you can run a much more stable block, being 'worn' in has little to do with it as we dont want anything 'worn'. The engine used was 'new' in the...

lol, i had the guy who invented photoshop come over to teach me.

look fred, he's arc'ing the new AWT fabricated manifold.

pretty much!

i dont thing fred will like that insinuation.

he he

says the person with an ORANGE engine! you've been tango'd! its an oldschool block colour, been used for years..............wouldnt expect you to understand ;)

you tell me! lol

Renault will not build an engine like that. And a new engine, christ........alot.

14x7.5 old school, superlight, CXR, etc etc

The rebuild service totally depends on the specification your going for, but that stock ish build cost circa £4k including new engine, all the modifications highlighted, all new genuine renault parts, new high flow low cavitation oil pump, ARP rod bolts, cams, headwork, machining and circa 35...

depends what you consider good VFM ;)

are planning on having the 300-400bhp required to go 170mph? I'd be more worried about that than gear ratios.

he keeps buying a new toy before he finishes the last one. Cant imagine what you were like with lego, never finishing it.

Thanks mike, its all the hard work of craig!

lol

i am crap.............. I'm only going off what i can remember from the last time you brought up the heads. Why would the turbo springs be stronger though?
