Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Looks mainly? ;) I just like the way the car feels running spacers, the extra width makes it feels more stable imo. As for the initial turn in that doesnt really feel as if it changes that, increased castor is the only thing thats ever really changed the way the car...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Cheers! Headlights made a massive difference for the amount of time taken.
Couldnt resist a snow shot :o ive also got a slow puncture in my front wheel
Or if your handy with a spanner Rhys Beal on here is selling my old engine running gt cams , arp bolts , new cambelt kit and dephaser that's only done 2k since having the work done, all you'd have to do is drop the engine in and get it mapped . By far the cheapest way to get gains and a...
438s will see better gains over all, gt cams as a single mod don't make enough of an improvement IMO,
before someone says about the price of gt cams being cheaper, then why not go for 197 cams as they are cheaper? But give less gains, same difference in the theory that gt cams are better for a...
Mine made 162bhp and 140 lbft before , I can remember exact figures for after with the ktec induction also fitted. Sure dan @ 519 has the results nearer than me. Doesn't matter about peak figures for the car anyway as it was how it drove, regardless the 421s give better drivability IMO.
So fitting keyed megane pulley sorts that? or am i wrong?
This is the one i was referring to http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?439338-Supercharged-MK1-F4R-track-car-project/page16&highlight=danny+ace
Thats the one. Jake S or something, last i heard he was selling it.
Think the mk1 with the 172 engine in belonged to Danny someone, that is a much more promising hope for someone managing to do it!
After owning a car on GT cams and 421's i much prefer the 421'd car.
Why? nothing to do with the peak figures thats for sure. The power delivery with the GT cams was pretty smooth and felt as if it gave the car more go through out the entire range but didnt make it much quicker overall, it was...
Ive skipped through your thread, all i can say is well done for sticking with the car! most would of sold up a while ago
Will be awesome once back and at full health, look forward to seeing the engine back with the results :)
Space and strain on the crank from memory are the problems.
Some lad called Jake on here was trying to do it, said he was going to fit it the day after CSS last year but still nothing.
Theres also a mk1 track car on here that was trying to use an eaton, id love to see the results if someone...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
But thats not free as i have satin black in my garage lol, ive read somewhere before about soaking plastic trim in oil but even im not that pikey!
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
I'm tempted just to spray the front grills satin black tbh, then they'll be like newish and stay nice for a while. It's just to cold to paint stuff atm :(
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
FK 25mm spacers added to the front,
Nice and grubby in there
Think it will be staying at the height it is for now as it doesnt seem to rub anywhere on all 4 corners which is nice!
The car feels nice on the road and pretty planted so im happy with it...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Last weekend my friend and fellow clio sport member hiben1 restored my head lights, here he is in action lol
Needless to say...
